This feels like incompetence

I would just love to see the behind the scenes of this mess.

The stress (workers) they have has to be insane.

 

[Alkez]

OG players, what if it comes back and it's still a buggy mess, how high is the tolerance with mobile games?

I have two answers to your question.

The answer to what you technically asked: it being a mobile game doesn't really change my tolerance for how much nonsense I'm willing to take from them. Mainly comes down to how much I like the game, and I still enjoy BE so it won't be the be all end all, but I am starting to get annoyed by this .

The answer to what I feel you implied: how high is my tolerance for Gumi/GL BE? A lot less than I would like it to be. People like you and I are in an interesting position where we play both versions of the game, and so if GL continues to be trash I will feel less reluctant to leave the game as I'll still be playing BE, just a different version of it. So ultimately playing JP has lowered my tolerance for Gumi's nonsense. I'm not close to the quitting point though. If I quit in the near future it will be because of irl time and not because of Gumi.

 

[Syntsui]

lol



Damn. Would now be a good time to start a JPN account ? lol
I probably couldnt do it but man Global is killing me right now...just when i was a bit more positive about the game again they manage to screw up something again in less thann two days.

The anniversary is about to begin, I can imagine having free multi pulls + guaranteed 5* banners all over the place real soon.

If you want to start you could wait for the next update for reroll.

Yeah, but the rewards from the Maintenance Events are better than any of the recent Mog Kings.

 

[RedZaraki]

We know from before that the BE GL code is a big mess and the guy(s) who did it left so Gumi is pretty much f*cked if they don't copy/paste from JP.

Well-written code means that other developers can understand it after you leave. It's not enough to be bug free. It must also be readable.

Excuse me?

We in the developer world call that job security.

2 guys in an empty office arguing with each other while a manager email asks them "You guys fixed it yet?"

Nooope. Maintenance until 9:00 PST for me. New maintenance banner though!!

 

[robotuw]

Lol, the ??? are back, even though I fixed them last time.

Connection error every time I try to look at the daily quests...or do anything else.

Getting connecting errors tho.

Also, player rank 37 as opponent. Yeah right .

This right here. The secret sauce of every professional since the dawn of time.

 

[Zera_Bloodwinter]

Trying to receive daily friend gift and the game keeps crashing. Also when you choose your "friend gift" it's blank, there's nothing there lol. FFS gumi.

 

[robotuw]

Eagerly anticipating our 3rd emergency maintenance to fix issues created by the previous two.

 

[Ombala]

Sigh will it be 24 hours before the game works?

 

[Kouriozan]

Decided to do Chamber of Gem before the server crap again, and now I can't finish it because of connection error, despite being able to log back in.

Easy to read code?

Well documented code?

Your ass will be the first to go once they decide to hire a new entry employee for 30k less.

Don't have the either? Then they'll weigh the costs of training someone new and adapting the code alongside delay over versus your next salary bump.

That's fine for small shops, but the moment you step into enterprise they have this thing called "Code Reviews" and they literally won't accept your commit until it passes snuff.

 

[Kouriozan]

First Chamber of Gem run with Raven Cape and it's making a big difference, now let me actually finish it for my T3 and T4 power cryst x)
I really need a Xon, too.

 

[Syntsui]

What the fuck were they doing during the half a day maintenance? Holy shit.

[vato_loco]

I've murdered the same opponent on Arena four times already and it keeps taking me back to it. What the hell...

EDIT: five times. I'll just cut my losses and leave this damn fight.

EDIT 2: it doesn't even let me leave. I give up and it gives me the same Connection Error and puts me right at the beginning of the fight.

 

[cw_sasuke]

This is incredible...

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Game is broken for me,

I went into chamber of riches to see if PRO is still there (it is). So I entered it for the free 100 lapis.

Now I get connection errors every time I finish the mission (so it never Actually lets me finish).

Square Enix needs to take some action, Gumi is fucking up the franchise's name.

Guess we're not playing Exvius today...

 

[Rootbeer]

Incompetence. There is no other excuse at this point.

They have test environments for rolling out stuff. There is really no reason these extended maintenances should be happening all the time if they know wtf they are doing.

 

[Niahak]

Final Fantasy: Busted Everything.

I don't expect quick fixes for all this stuff... I'm guessing their codebase isn't that nice, and probably messed-up more from integrating all the JP features.

I could be surprised, maybe they just missed some "obvious" stuff.

 

[greyshark]

That's fine for small shops, but the moment you step into enterprise they have this thing called "Code Reviews" and they literally won't accept your commit until it passes snuff.

Lol - they say they do, but rarely does it actually happen. "Huge deliverable due next week? I don't give a shit about code reviews, just get it done!"

 

[Kouriozan]

Yosh, could finish that dungeon, at last!

 

[cw_sasuke]

Seems like it works again...for now.

 

[ZeoVGM]

This has reached a level of embarrassing incompetence at this point.

 

[Azuran]

Square Enix needs to take some action, Gumi is fucking up the franchise's name.

lol

Square Enix does that themselves.

 

[Ombala]

What? It's maintenance

You're right on this. Sorry if my post seemed to suggest otherwise.

Encounter rate in exploration is still glitched.

 

[Lyrian]

Bug with non-respawning nodes in the forest still exists.

But now king minitaurs invade in part a of the maze...

 

[Pejo]

What? It's maintenance

You have to update the app if you haven't already, or else you'll get that maint message still.

Used my tickets and 1/2 pull and got:

- Veritas of the Earth (good, right?)
- Beach Time Fina (sucks)
- Jack (sucks even worse)
- Bedile (who the hell are you?)
- Ingus (why are you even in this game?)

EV is great. Jack and Ingus have good niche TMs. BTF and Bedile are insults.

Rikku says hi. Slap 4 Ignorance to Rikku.

Fry's best build needs 4x Ingus tm (I haven't done any Ignus, nor I don't have Fryevia).

VE is good, and Ingus has letters and arms. It’s best in slot for any mage that can equip swords (especially freyvia).

Sorry on the bedile, I just sell them know so worthless

Grats on VotE - he is a Top Tier tank.

Just used 4 tickets + daily on my old main again...a miracle of pulling like two Orlandeus would have been enough to regret my account move...but yeah nah, everything as expected..all 5 pulls trash. Disgusting.

Based new account...lol.
