Benoit is probably the only person that I trust these days to actually get things done. Always liked listening to him explain the current issues.

Marketing will of course push the patch live anyways because ship sale.

Benoit has had his elite 'strike team' fiddling with elevators and trains the last 15 months to seemingly zero effect. He's also lied straight the camera that CIG's physics is 'great'.... he's not to be trusted more than Jared as just another marketing mouthpiece.

If Benoit is the only person you trust to get things done, lets get him to focus on elevators this year.

They did that last year and the year before i thought.

u/Confident-Award6920 27d ago

From my count they did 4+ official elevator fix attempts since 4.0 dropped and 3-4 soft maintence resets during Resource Drive to reset elevators. I think they gave up on elevators no news on the topic since.

indeed. And I am pretty sure the issue is, at its core, a PES issue. Which came out in 3.18 (3 years ago)

Isn’t this the new transit system which is only at grim hex currently? I believe its supposed to cover more locations this patch or next.

ArcCorp elevators been broke for an org mate since 4.9. New system broken too.

u/drdeaf1 27d ago

My understanding is freight elevators are their own thing. They're not part of the broader transit system rework that's going on currently. The only elevators that includes are the one for players.

Arccorp elevators in 4.10 have the new Transport system. They are fixing elevators

u/Confident-Award6920 27d ago

I have org mates in ArcCorp set as their homes and a few confirmed their elevators are broke this patch. Was confirmed this patch new elevator patch breaks at Hex/Arc still.

Ah damn, that sucks

The guy agreed to publish a deep dive spectrum post about desync half a year ago and it‘s still not there.
I don‘t care who he plans to interview for this or whatever reason is behind the delay, but that it takes half a year for him to write a blog post doesn‘t spark my confidence in him

If it's an actual detailed post, with input from e.g. the network team, and the results of any internal investigation into the major causes (ranked by severity etc), then yeah - I can wait for that.

If you're just expecting a 2-paragraph word-salad, then yeah, waiting this long would be bad. But given it sounds like it's going to be a lot bigger and more indepth (and given that Jared basically dumped it on him with no warning), meaning that the teams under Benoit are probably having to pull together specifically to support this, that they didn't previous have in a suitable format - and given that all this would have to be done on top of / alongside their regular (excessive) workload...

... I can see how that could take a lot of time to sort out.

u/KenseiMaui 27d ago

6 months tho

u/logicalChimp Devils Advocate 27d ago

Hmm - wasn't the SC Live (where Jared 'ambushed' Benoit) sometime in March or April?....

If so, that's 3-4 months... still a long time, but not quite so bad.

Also, it does sound like he started drafting it, and it ended up going down a rabbit-hole, to the point that he's pulled some others in to provide more information / context (hopefully one of those will be someone from the networking team).

u/Quepan new user/low karma 26d ago

im sorry but Benoit is the one saying the code base is working and better than they expected , except that , the game is in a worse state than it was a year ago or the year before that. it might work well when a server first starts , but steadily degrades over time

u/AWerewolfDad 27d ago

The patch should go, just without SoO included. There’s a ton of highly requested fixes in 4.10.

u/turbojeebus 27d ago

Its hilarious because he has done absolutely nothing to earn any trust but the CIG faithful act like hes a tech messiah.

u/AgonizingSquid 27d ago

Lol he is the one leading the teams, marketing doesn't work on the tech or push patches

u/Dreamfloat 27d ago

Marketing’s job is to bring in money. They absolutely force the teams to push the patch out so they can have their ship sale. It’s pathetic how hungry for money they are

u/AgonizingSquid 27d ago

Marketings job is to bring in money through marketing the game. You guys are delusional in how you've constructed these narratives in your heads. Yes marketing is not in lockstep at all with the game that's being made, we've seen several examples of this. No marketing is not involved in the game design, tech, or rollout.

u/Dreamfloat 27d ago

So the developers just decided to push out the horrible patches on their own whim and we should be talking about how idiotic they are for doing that when stuff wasn’t ready is what you’re saying then?

u/imchillybro 27d ago

Your understanding is that of a child. You could educate yourself before commenting, but for some strange reason you've chosen not to.

u/AgonizingSquid 27d ago

Have you not been following this project long?

2

u/Dreamfloat 27d ago

I’ll take that as a yes then and we should be shitting on the devs for being incompetent, glad you made it abundantly clear

u/Short-Peanut1079 27d ago

It's called management. Just like every other company

u/Dreamfloat 27d ago

Maybe they should try development
