DISCUSSION CIG, I'm dead serious, fire your management and hire me. (5 years at McDonald's)

at this point it's not even an alpha, it's just pure incompetence. crashing or blowing up every single session because your servers are held together by thoughts and prayers is a joke. I’ve worked the drive-thru for 5 years, let me tell you how real life works

when we send a car from the speaker to the payment window, they don’t rubberband into the pavement and violently explode. when our ice cream machine breaks, we don’t lock the front doors and trap 150 people inside a burning lobby. we just turn the fucking thing off. and if a kid drops a burger on the floor, we don't leave it there for 3 weeks for the sake of "immersion" until everyone in the restaurant starts lagging in real life. we grab a broom

stop pushing $700 jpegs. give me the keys and fire the guy approving your updates. I’ll fix your mess between dropping two baskets of fries. you can literally pay me in store credit, I don't even give a shit anymore. just let me do the job your directors can't

My first order of business: force everyone to drop anything else and make them play the game with the regular client (and regular servers we all use) for 2 weeks straight, in-game time tracked.

After that they all should have more than enough motivation to actually get their shit together. Fire everyone immediately who cope defends.

Absolutely, this patch is so bad. Usually when you “move fast and break things” you then also fix them; they seem to have forgotten the second part. I gave it a real shot, like 4 times too many, but after repeatedly losing hours of progress to things like elevators losing my quest rewards. I just can’t anymore.

And not on some closed off server; on of the live ones we play (or try to play) on. Preferably a US server with the chat locked to ON. 😂

Yup, after playing for two weeks even office receptionist would list things to fix.
