Bug Fixing Team + Update Delays

[pkemr4]

"Sega has created a special team dedicated in discovering bugs for the development team. Once they discover a bug, the development team will fix the issue and check over it repeatedly until it resolves. By taking this approach, some future updates have been pushed back as a result. As is the case of the December update which now spans two months instead of one and the Item Customization System being moved to January."

Wait, so they didn't have a QA team before?

This explains a lot.

"From now on, we will find and fix bugs."

Wow. Absolutely revolutionary.

You know you've been playing Phantasy Star for too long when this kind of thing doesnt surprise you any more. God only knows what they were doing before if a bugfix team is a new development.

I wonder if they will fix the bug of too low exp from the last 2 Hans SH cos?

I am actually disappointed that they added a QA team. These types of teams are actually starting to go extinct in most cutting edge software companies. Mainly since computers can usually do their job... if people would take the time to write automated tests. Btw, I mean dedicated QA teams, before people jump on me.

I can feel the technical debt from here.

Actually, this is a fairly good sign that the 10 years of pso2 support will be a bad 10 years. In another year or so... I would think new features could easily fall to a crawl.

Then again, the fact that they are projecting out months in advance smells as well...

And even with a QA team working on stuff, I'm pretty sure they will keep derping so hard.

SEEEEEEGAAAAAA!

Let's see the shitty silver lining here, guys.

I thought their QA team was just bad, not that it was inexistent. It'll only get better now!

I think that this is a sign that it will get worse...

QA is super important, but they are going to do it wrong...
