Original Post — Direct link

There is still work to be done in the long run to keep polishing LTMs like Xtreme, but when the post you are referencing was created, the new levels (for example lily leapers) were not in the playlist. It was during the first appearance of the LTM that I wrote this five months ago, and we did shorten all of the timers shortly after as outlined.

The newer additions should absolutely be shorter to match, but that is not what the above pertained to. We should make sure going forward that we are consistent when we add new levels in to prevent the current issues in the future though, that's for sure!

This is what I meant by posting though. It doesn't make sense that you weren't ALREADY on top of this, and it's a repeated pattern of behavior.

I'm really not trying to give you a hard time. I just want to see the game thrive, and it's not currently thriving. The devs have to take some responsibility for these weird, seemingly incompetent, mistakes that constantly show up.

Sure, I just wanted to also ensure that people didn't think that the above post meant something else (if that makes sense). It's only a small nuance from the feedback you're giving (which is valid, and I do understand), but it is an important one - the original post could read as if we never shortened the original timers though we did. I do think it's good to try and avoid those kinds of things where we can, and a lot of posts in the community can get quite out of control quite fast and we often see incorrect/false things just kinda go whoosh and be run with.

We do what we can to get changes like this rectified in real time, but it is often not possible :(. That is often because there is a lot happening under the hood that takes precedence. This doesn't get rid of the fact that a lot of players are sitting and watching the griefers, and having a poor experience though, so I understand frustration.

We will never sit here and tell you to not give feedback or criticism when you see it fit, and nobody likes to see details like this go unnoticed until the game is live. I don't think of it as a hard time, don't worry, there are things at the moment causing frustration and it's something we all want to improve.

There have been multiple people on this sub claiming to be Beta testers and saying that they reported a lot of issues with the last patch but Mediatonic pushed the update with all the bugs anyway.

Are you saying those people are all lying?

Not at all, I am speaking in this instance about the additions to the Xtreme playlist, which was not externally tested by our Board of Bean members!

Edit: Pressed enter too early, sorry! There were beta issues that went unactioned, and we are improving our internal processes to catch the bigger issues that slip through the net outside of that - clear bugs, for example.
