DLC Release Date

[DJ Clae]

I don't think they're getting fixed. They just got taken down to wait for the leaderboards and achievements to be ready I guess.

The problem with releasing on the XBox is that it's much harder to do updates and fix bugs. That's why the product has to be ready from day one, although the fans demand a release schedule more like the Android and iOS.

Like I said, had I but known...

Damn I wish my vision was good enough to allow me to get one of those tablet dealies.

 

[Volitar Prime]

At this point I wish they would hold them back until the bugs are fixed.

 

[RKade8583]

Well I'm glad they released one and two but they should have definitely cooked three longer.

So what was the reason for them pulling DLC pack 3?

So what was the reason for them pulling DLC pack 3?

It wasn't yet synced up with the xbox.com database, which leads to a flood of support calls for them from people who don't understand the gamerscore desync issue. The fewer people who are able to play this content before it's added to the database properly, the fewer people they will have to walk through the process of profile recovery.

I'm not blaming FS, I'm blaming MS and their godawful super-standards and bureaucratic bull****.

How so? Again, Farsight released a table with bugs people find a few hours after it's released, and it's the same on the other platforms. What on Earth has Microsoft to do with Farsight being unable to release a pack without obvious bugs?

I've never, ever seen anything like this on any other XBLA game.

He's talking about pulling the dlc, not the frankenstein bug.

 

[Brandon Debes]

You don't play many XBLA games, I take it.

 

[RKade8583]

Oh I'm pissed at Farsight too but you have to remember, the mobile platforms got updated but I'm positive that if MS weren't a bunch of f***-ups, our releases would have been WAY back there and we could have had the updates out by now.

Pissed at FS for releasing betas but WAY more pissed at MS for backing this up as long as it has been.

 

[DJ Clae]

Good point. If DLC 3 hadn't been held back so long the bugs could've been noticed sooner (if FS wasn't already aware of them).

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

I still don't know why the DLC was pulled, but I'm 100% sure it has nothing to do with the MB Bug.

They seemed to have pulled it right after I told them the game configuration hadn't been put on the server.

 

[laughing_lunatic]

Thanks for at least keeping us updated that you're in the dark as much as we are, Mike.

 

[RKade8583]

See? My being pissed at MS is the right move.

 

[bavelb]

Figures eh. Most peoples response when you tell them "you forgot to put part 2 online when you put part 1 online" would be to ...you know...put part 2 online. Leave it to microsoft to think "oops, our mistake, we'll remove part 1 again!".

 

[pinbot-76]

If this is the case, then hopefully pack 3 will be back online in a day or so, not 3-4 weeks. Even though the leaderboards will be worthless we can still get some games in. And I like Gorgar too.

Awesome tables, they can re-release anything from PHOF and I'd be happy. Hoping for some EMs soon!

 

[lettuce]

Mike will there be any chance this can be rectified for the Friday xbla release window?

My God,whatever next,i absolutely love TPA but Microsoft are treating Farsight like a good looking inmate in the prison showers

I really hope so.

@Mike
is it possible to reset the leaderboards for a table easily? Bugs like the MB jackpot make me think about that.
