The announcement of the date of the first patch even before the majority of people had received there download e-mails was also a great confidence booster!

I will now retreat and await the flaming of the fanboys who seem to be in abundance on his site!
Hey Maverick,

I understand your frustration, bro.

Coupla things. If you've got specific bugs, definitely report them over in the tech forum. They may be in the game, but fortunately, Markus has proven time and time again that he is most efficient in fixing things in an incredibly timely manner. If you see something that seems messed up, definitely report it. We'll all be better off for it.

The beta testers did try their hardest, and as someone who was beta testing for Mac, I must tell you that the PC guys (who were there long before me) really gave it a good wringing out. They did a very nice job of isolating the large issues.

That being said, they couldn't catch everything, and they knew that the large scale release would bring a few glitches here and there. That's also, I'm assuming, the reason for the first patch being so early on.

The more feedback you can give to Markus and his team between now and the first patch date, the better.

So as you find those little bugs and annoyances, report 'em! Markus will have almost every single one of them fixed in short order, if the past is any indicator of what the future is to bring from him.

Cheers,

-E
