Of course I’m not happy, how else am i supposed to go on stiletto murder sprees without double time or quick draw? Oh and i guess extra supplies is useful too.

While I agree it’s not such a big deal, more than that I voted as it’s fun “event”. But qouting your post.
I remember I spent 27h in front of monitor trying to push bug hotfix for some game my studio was working on, and I was only responsible for backends. I can’t imagine how frustrating it was for the actual coders to find a reported bug, reproduce it and fix it ASAP. And yeah, we had a medium crew, but more than 10 coders, build was tested few times before release after “build lock” (which means, we don’t change anything, we lock release as changelog states and test it for the next 2-3 weeks).
It’s irrelevant but what I wanted to mark here, is we sometimes don’t realize how much work it is to make fun things like DB.
tl’dr I don’t mind this bug, we all know it will be fixed, few days with vanilla plays seems more like an event

Don’t forget those beautiful melee and movement cards from gen 1. The 181 tornado and 343 cards are currently broken…
Best unintentional event ever!
Incidentally, I feel like if any of the mercs were significantly changed by the lack of augments, that would highlight a serious balance issue with the merc -itself-. So maybe the fact that not everyone’s even noticed the augments missing is a good thing.

Success holds in tight differences. That sort of mishaps is what prevented DB from turning into an actual success for 2 years of public beta. Their overtime would have got paid by itself if they resolved the problem before releasing the season 4 ranked. They’ve just totally crapped out the season 4 start with this and the number of cheaters there are already there. That’s pure amateurism. Valve has an issue during the week-end ? They solve it, even during saturday night. Yes, SD is a smaller team, but personally I consider unacceptable to see them just say : “we’re leaving things as is for the week-end”. Especially this very week-end.
I work in a car engine factory. That’s not cancer research either. But I sometimes have to deal with problems during the week-end, I’m not forced to answer the phone, but I do it because I like to help the people I work with.
I love DB and SD but I simply won’t eat the ice cream if it’s made of sh!t. I’m quite worried for the lack of involvement and I say it.
Well, it’s been really nice, sadly this bug will maybe go away, forever…
SD might kill it on Monday or Tuesday :’(
I hope to see another bust like that in the future, offering new, unintentionally creative way of playing DB.
RIP

At least 373 can be somewhat useful.

How is it useful right now? Isn’t it broken because of the broken augments? If augments were working, I agree, that card is useful too for cricket smashing and combat as a Sparks.

I was hanging on to the small hope that chopper still worked.

how nice, but irrelevant
they don’t work weekends, what you find acceptable is irrelevant, they’ll likely do something nice for the alleged “suffering” but it’s no big deal, augments are highly over rated
btw, IDGAF about Valve

The difference here is Dirty Bomb is one of their primary source of income. If they don’t manage to solve this kind of issue, this could prevent people playing their game, and probably prevent them buying micro-transactions. Meaning a loss of income.
I agree this bug is not a game breaking one, you can still play without noticing too much the difference. But will they do more hours that they’re supposed to do if a game breaking bug appears during a week-end ?
And considering we, players, are here supporting their game by buying mtx, you can consider we are actually paying their bills. So, yeah, they could do overtime during the week-end when this kind of bug appear, especially when they know its existence prior the week-end.
Unless Splash Damage is not the little company they want us to believe they are anymore…

I don’t mind that bug personally, I’m just totally bored of the clownish clusterfucks after every single patch.
Work or get fired because your company is bankrupted. That’s how it works. And I don’t think Gus Fring is gonna get so pleased about that either. So close both taps and see how long DB survive.
And no, Nail, the beta excuse stopped existing since they attacked the players wallet to huge extent. They’ve shot it by themselves.
I already play with default cards only so I can’t say I really have an opinion of any kind aside from “Oh I guess everyone gets to play like I do for now.”
I doubt Dirty Bomb generates enough money at this time to pay for cake on Fridays so that reasoning is just dumb, it’s not game breaking, it barely affects anyone
it’s still in Beta no matter what you think, there is still NO REASON to spend ANY MONEY, if you don’t get that, you’re in serious need of professional help

So they’re actually milking people who needs professional help ? Some very disputable marketing moves to target handicapped people :D…
I only spent 5 bucks to show support so far, I don’t feel concerned. But still, let’s agree to disagree.

So, you suggest we should play without giving a cent to us ? I wonder how far they could handle this game if everyone was like that…
I imagine those who play a lot of Sparks aren’t very happy about this.
