Lol Glorn makes it sound like there's someone at blizzard going "And now I shall destroy the arcade by deleting everyone's work MWA HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Lol, I dont intended it that way, but more of a "blind neglect" kid of way. Like the guy who backs over his dog in the driveway. there is a long list of things you could have done to avoid the situation; now your children are heartbroken.

@GlornII: Go Now, should they have done a PTR? I would argue, this IS the PTR, and they are switching into the more accepted rolling release setup, where stuff is patched way more regularly, with more expected issues, and more feedback. Probably going to be a difficult transition. Many parts of the editor seem to be WIP.

And you are gonna stand by that? You think it is good that without any warning, many map makers lost the entire project? The vast majority of us were set back weeks.

They have a working PTR system, then even have a PTR up. There is no excuse to not test it beforehand. "This IS the PTR" is the dumbest comment to come out of this entire thing. No, the PTR is the PTR. You have dozens of modders begging you to put in on the PTR so they can find problems in it (As you have previously done, and has previously worked for you). I dont think anyone is in support of a "rolling out untested updates to periodically destroy what you have spent thousands of hours on." Want to kill the arcade? kill every project on a regular basis.

Ahh the joys of not understanding group dynamics or how any company works. Guess what. No, just because they have 4k people doesn't mean everything will be checked, everything will be fixed, and everything will work.

I work for a large company. A group dynamic of sorts. Thousands of employees across the country. We have 3 mechanics in our state, and we have a lot of machinery. When something breaks, I call my boss and say, "Hey, this is broken." I go on doing my job, because I am not the mechanic. He then calls the regional manager to say, "Hey, this is broken, we need a mechanic." That boss calls a company mechanic, who is likely somewhere, doing something. Says, "Hey, we need this fixed." and within a couple of days, that mechanic manages to drive to our location, inspect the problem, find a parts dealer to get the part, and fix the problem.

So, there is like a 6 stage process for getting this machine fixed, and it includes a lot of time devoted to physically moving from A to B. The problem is usually transmitted through to the mechanic within an hour.

This is how a company, using a group dynamic, manages to solve a problem in a timely manner.
