April Feature Pack: Will we see any updates?

Before anyone says it, yes I know we are getting these new features as well so it “technically” is a Mac patch.

What I am asking is whether or not we will be receiving any Mac client-specific updates? Seeing all of these new additions to the game would be exciting if I knew it was going to work but instead I’m left paranoid that adding in so many new features at once will bring up HUGE problems for this cider client. Just look at the last several patches! Every time something is added to the game it produces client crashes, drops in fps, and more.

Can we please get someone from ANet to confirm whether or not this patch is being fully and properly tested on the Mac cider client? It would be nice to know that we will be able to enjoy all of these new features. For now though, I am going to have to remain extremely skeptical.

Howdy all!

My apologies; I was out on Friday and did not get to follow up. Since then, I’ve had discussions with the Mac team and we discussed your concerns.

They updated me on some crash fixes, back end issues, bugs…they’ve been killing a lot of bugs every patch, which was neat to see! Since a lot of what they do is back end high level engineering stuff (that I barely grok), you don’t see a lot of the updates in release notes notes.

We’re going to work on getting more of this information out to you in the future. I hope to have more info regarding bugs for you soon.
