If any business course in the country is currently advocating enabling new features in a widely deployed software system build that shows instability and functionality problems on the margins soon after deployment, I would recommend getting a refund on your tuition and using the funds to set the campus on fire.

Hasn't most updates been bugged with some nearly unplayable content in this game throughout it's history? At least that's what most long timers tell me so I can't confirm it.

Come on, you are not GroundedWisdom! Calling these new features is a push, at most enhancements, specially the glory store update! Meanwhile the AW map update is on... I'm sure there is a good reason for such delays, yet I can't understand how these may interfere, a more detailed justification would be appreciated!
The changes require a stable Build. They are likely working it into the Update that addresses the overheating issue. Any Dev would likely consider it prudent planning regardless, to ensure that things are running as optimally as possible before introducing changes that affect mass Rewards.
In fact, that's one of the most common complaints. "Why don't you fix A before releasing B.".

What changes were introduced today that affect mass profit?
There's not much to detail. It's been said that they need a stable Build, and it's just common sense to wait with everything going on that they're trying to resolve.

There have been many times in the past when activating new features, even apparently innocuous ones on the surface, caused significant problems with both clients and servers (like, almost every time). Although Kabam has often moved forward with their scheduled updates regardless, that doesn't make it the safe or reasonable thing to do in general. And if someone is teaching otherwise in some MIS course somewhere, I am deadly serious that I'd like to know who and where, so I can try to talk them out of a career in academia. It just makes my profession look like it is filled with more idiots than it already is.

Those changes have been scheduled for some time now, and were already set in motion. The aforementioned changes have a tentative date, pending the issues being resolved. That much has been stated from the onset of announcing them. Considering they have more control over holding off with it, that's the wisest choice.

Many of them have been, far more than I find acceptable anyway. And if there exists a business school that teaches that once you've screwed up enough times, might as well keep going, I am unaware of it. Maybe they started doing that when they changed grade school math.

You have missed the point... twice! Out of curiosity, why do you always brag about software engineering knowledge? You certainly know that many in the community are on same "field", and there is always someone who know more/better... Honestly, I enjoy many of your community interactions, yet being a very experienced software engineer (and architect) myself, working at a highly appraised core dev team, have to note your recurrent brag as something you should really nerf. Please take it as constructive criticism.

You can paint it as you want, some changes were activated, other changes weren't, I don't understand why and I had my share of 6 months profiling and hacking Android kernel so my (most probably faulty) Nexus 5X wouldn't reach up to 70ºC running the game!

I'm not painting anything. Just the opposite, actually. I'm using Turpentine.
every time this game is updated the lags become worst, I've been fighting GHOST and from start to finish the whole battle lags really bad, I need all my potions both health and revive back that I've lost because the game is glitching.

How I wish a few of you software engineers could take an in depth look at the actual coding for the game. I suspect its architecture would make Rube Goldberg shudder.

They've maintained from the start of the changes that completing the Map should be rare. As for specific comments, it's been said over and over since the introduction of Diversity that people are constantly reaching 100%, and the Win is determined by a small number of Points. Now, whether the Search Function will find them or not, I can't go back that far in my memory. I'm sure other people have read the same. Regardless, that was the argument. Everyone hits 100%, and Wars are won by a few Points in Diversity. Until they reneged on the removal of it, Diversity was also set to go. I'm usually present, so I have a clear memory of the argument.

I did in the first post I made on the subject, which is probably how I "missed" your "point:"
There have been many times in the past when activating new features, even apparently innocuous ones on the surface, caused significant problems with both clients and servers
If you need more specifics, I'm actually one of the people that's been experiencing odd problems since the push of 19.0, and while I haven't been experiencing some of the severe overheating and related problems, I have been experiencing random bouts of the game client behaving as if its resource management is totally broken. The game client gives the appearance of graphics resources somehow being swapped out of memory, and it also experiences random instances of losing network connectivity even though I can confirm network connectivity itself isn't disrupted. All of these combined with the other reports of overheating and other performance problems lead me to believe the problem is something significant in how the game client functions. But that doesn't have to be a game client problem, or if it is it doesn't have to be caused by game client changes: game server problems can sometime appear to be game client problems when the game servers malfunction in a way that instructs the game clients to do weird or suboptimal things, and game server changes can sometimes trigger game client problems.
For reference, in another MMO I played an update to the online store that appeared to be completely independent of the rest of the game caused major game client problems due to the fact that the in-game store used an embedded minibrowser that had a serious memory leak that was triggered by an expansion of the in-game store. The problem was triggered when the game servers were updated with larger sets of store contents, which were pushed live to the game clients, which would leak memory under certain store-browsing and sorting operations. In that way, a pure database update on the backend caused a memory leak in the game clients and crashed the game on client desktops under high activity situations. On the surface, the problem looked like a game client problem, which it technically was, but the game clients hadn't themselves been changed in any way around when the problem occurred. It was a game client problem that wasn't triggered by a game client change.
When this happens to you often enough, you stop trying to guess what changes will cause problems in which places, unless you are absolutely certain your knowledge of the entire system is absolutely complete. I doubt anyone has that knowledge about MCOC, and it would be best practice operationally not to guess.

Due to some overheating and performance issues that we are investigating following our 19.0 release, we will be delaying the release of our new 1-Day and 3-Day Alliance Events, our new iteration of Alliance Quests and our update to the Glory Store.
We do not currently have an ETA for these new Events and Alliance Quests, but will let you all know as soon as we have more information regarding their release, and the results of our investigation surrounding our 19.0 release.
We apologize for this delay.
Hey, I do like the fact that you are pushing the updates. APpreciate it. However I just saved glory from the past week of AQ for this coming week in expectations of this new update. So I just lost 3 alpha catalysts for the week. I had no other way to phrase this without it sounding like complaining lol. Sorry

If any business course in the country is currently advocating enabling new features in a widely deployed software system build that shows instability and functionality problems on the margins soon after deployment, I would recommend getting a refund on your tuition and using the funds to set the campus on fire.
Hasn't most updates been bugged with some nearly unplayable content in this game throughout it's history? At least that's what most long timers tell me so I can't confirm it.
Come on, you are not GroundedWisdom! Calling these new features is a push, at most enhancements, specially the glory store update! Meanwhile the AW map update is on... I'm sure there is a good reason for such delays, yet I can't understand how these may interfere, a more detailed justification would be appreciated!
The changes require a stable Build. They are likely working it into the Update that addresses the overheating issue. Any Dev would likely consider it prudent planning regardless, to ensure that things are running as optimally as possible before introducing changes that affect mass Rewards.
In fact, that's one of the most common complaints. "Why don't you fix A before releasing B.".
Come on, you are not DNA3000! Changes were introduced today that affect mass... profit! I'm sure there is a good reason for such delays, yet I can't understand how these may interfere, a more detailed justification would be appreciated!
There's not much to detail. It's been said that they need a stable Build, and it's just common sense to wait with everything going on that they're trying to resolve.
There have been many times in the past when activating new features, even apparently innocuous ones on the surface, caused significant problems with both clients and servers (like, almost every time). Although Kabam has often moved forward with their scheduled updates regardless, that doesn't make it the safe or reasonable thing to do in general. And if someone is teaching otherwise in some MIS course somewhere, I am deadly serious that I'd like to know who and where, so I can try to talk them out of a career in academia. It just makes my profession look like it is filled with more idiots than it already is.
I'm disappointed that you are not aware of today's changes.
you should play alliance war to see for yourself, oh wait, I forgot, you are in a retirement alliance or did that change?
My mistake. You meant the changes to War, that you view to be for profit, when in actuality are the direct result of people complaining the Map was too easy. Perhaps I didn't think of it because I'm not of the opinion it's all just to milk the Players.
Those changes have been scheduled for some time now, and were already set in motion. The aforementioned changes have a tentative date, pending the issues being resolved. That much has been stated from the onset of announcing them. Considering they have more control over holding off with it, that's the wisest choice.
Many of them have been, far more than I find acceptable anyway. And if there exists a business school that teaches that once you've screwed up enough times, might as well keep going, I am unaware of it. Maybe they started doing that when they changed grade school math.
You have missed the point... twice! Out of curiosity, why do you always brag about software engineering knowledge? You certainly know that many in the community are on same "field", and there is always someone who know more/better... Honestly, I enjoy many of your community interactions, yet being a very experienced software engineer (and architect) myself, working at a highly appraised core dev team, have to note your recurrent brag as something you should really nerf. Please take it as constructive criticism.
Show me the posts where people complained AW was too easy.
You can paint it as you want, some changes were activated, other changes weren't, I don't understand why and I had my share of 6 months profiling and hacking Android kernel so my (most probably faulty) Nexus 5X wouldn't reach up to 70ºC running the game! Now imagine who doesn't know a thing about the matter, oh wait you are not DNA3000...
The fact that you find statements about fundamental operational best practices to be a "brag" suggests to me the value of those appraisals are suspect. However, if you feel you have some superior knowledge of the subject you feel compelled to educate me on, I'm perfectly willing to have that discussion off-thread.
Use the Search.
I'm not painting anything. Just the opposite, actually. I'm using Turpentine.
Absolutely made me laugh. Burn, baby, burn.
How I wish a few of you software engineers could take an in depth look at the actual coding for the game. I suspect its architecture would make Rube Goldberg shudder.

I did, couldn't find any.
Kabam clearly stated they made the changes to stop people 100%ing the map because exploration should be the tie breaker.
You now failed to justify the activation of game engine related changes, while non game engine related changes were postponed THREE times. I recall that issue reports are wrt performance and overheating so please cut the BS, and recall you are the one calling other people idiots and questioning appraisals... It was just a constructive criticism yet please move on to the subject in discussion.
They've maintained from the start of the changes that completing the Map should be rare. As for specific comments, it's been said over and over since the introduction of Diversity that people are constantly reaching 100%, and the Win is determined by a small number of Points. Now, whether the Search Function will find them or not, I can't go back that far in my memory. I'm sure other people have read the same. Regardless, that was the argument. Everyone hits 100%, and Wars are won by a few Points in Diversity. Until they reneged on the removal of it, Diversity was also set to go. I'm usually present, so I have a clear memory of the argument.

Couple examples on the first Search.
Wow you can twist words some strange ways.
So no one actually complained it was too easy but that diversity was a ridiculous medium for deciding a winner.
People have complained the Map was easy. Yes. I don't have time to go on a Scavenger Hunt for comments to appease doubt.
If people are hitting 100%, then it would be too easy as per their goal of making it rare.
I did in the first post I made on the subject, which is probably how I "missed" your "point:"
If you need more specifics, I'm actually one of the people that's been experiencing odd problems since the push of 19.0, and while I haven't been experiencing some of the severe overheating and related problems, I have been experiencing random bouts of the game client behaving as if its resource management is totally broken. The game client gives the appearance of graphics resources somehow being swapped out of memory, and it also experiences random instances of losing network connectivity even though I can confirm network connectivity itself isn't disrupted. All of these combined with the other reports of overheating and other performance problems lead me to believe the problem is something significant in how the game client functions. But that doesn't have to be a game client problem, or if it is it doesn't have to be caused by game client changes: game server problems can sometime appear to be game client problems when the game servers malfunction in a way that instructs the game clients to do weird or suboptimal things, and game server changes can sometimes trigger game client problems.
For reference, in another MMO I played an update to the online store that appeared to be completely independent of the rest of the game caused major game client problems due to the fact that the in-game store used an embedded minibrowser that had a serious memory leak that was triggered by an expansion of the in-game store. The problem was triggered when the game servers were updated with larger sets of store contents, which were pushed live to the game clients, which would leak memory under certain store-browsing and sorting operations. In that way, a pure database update on the backend caused a memory leak in the game clients and crashed the game on client desktops under high activity situations. On the surface, the problem looked like a game client problem, which it technically was, but the game clients hadn't themselves been changed in any way around when the problem occurred. It was a game client problem that wasn't triggered by a game client change.
When this happens to you often enough, you stop trying to guess what changes will cause problems in which places, unless you are absolutely certain your knowledge of the entire system is absolutely complete. I doubt anyone has that knowledge about MCOC, and it would be best practice operationally not to guess.
1 post in 8 months and that's only if you twist his words to say it's too easy.
This whole "100% is meant to rare" philosophy is only a week old.
A week old? No. You need to read the 2.0 Thread.
Hey, I do like the fact that you are pushing the updates. APpreciate it. However I just saved glory from the past week of AQ for this coming week in expectations of this new update. So I just lost 3 alpha catalysts for the week. I had no other way to phrase this without it sounding like complaining lol. Sorry
