[2019] DLC before fixing the game

Our Artists who make the skins and new assets and the store/marketing department who update the stores for a new DLC don’t implement gameplay and they have nothing to do with bug fixing. They also have nothing to do with deciding anything game direction related.

There are two completely different departments working on the areas you mentioned.

To put the DLC vs Fixes into perspective:
We have not released a DLC since late last year (five months ago), while we have patched the game and addressed issues several times in the past months (we released 2 major patches with over 400 fixes, old content overhaul and additions, 8 hotfixes, and just now a new Testlive patch with a new dungeon and content. All that new content is free).

Also it’s tricky because “fixing the game” means something different to everyone.
There are far more things for us to spend our development time on than there is time, so we have to prioritize within the “fixing bug” category (and releasing a DLC has no impact on this). Having to prioritize always means leaving someone unhappy because someone will feel that we don’t prioritize something they feel strongly about, high enough. That’s unfortunately reality and while we certainly try, we can’t always make everyone happy.

If you have bugs you would like to report, please do not derail this thread. Instead check if the bug has been reported in another thread (or is on Trello) and if not, make a new thread with as much information you can provide as possible. We appreciate that

Exploits are hard to fix and have nothing to do with DLCs being added.
This is our forum and we do NOT tolerate exploits being shared on our forum. That is a rule you agreed to while joining our forums as clearly stated in our community rules and guidelines.

We are working actively on exploits being fixed and work with players who help us in DMs and through exploit hunters. Exploits are high priority issues for us. Artists don’t fix exploits nor does anyone who is involved in creating and releasing DLCs.

And this is enough of discussion about this issue. You know the rules and I addressed your claim as have several others in this thread.
Locking this as there is really nothing more to be gained from this discussion
