Do things get reported to Markus here?

so people will know it not a waste a time to report problems here. Maybe there better reporting it in the ootp discussion forum.

the reason i am asking is because i never seen Markus reply in this forum.

he mainly replies in the OOTP discussion forum if people report problems there.

Of course.

Anything deemed important is usually brought to his attention by one of the Beta team members (which is usually almost everything). Markus spends much less time on the board than the rest of us, so what he may read personally is probably less than us - but we do report many things through the Beta team.

Yeah, I always assume that if I post a bug that's obviously important, the beta team passes it along quickly.

If I post a bug that's not obviously important, I just keep posting about it until someone on the beta team gets sick of it and tells me that it was passed along.

That's why we pass along almost everything

although sometimes we add a footnote like "this is a terrible idea"

It is still remarkable that we have a game that has such a team of people trying to help to tweak and perfect the product. If you buy a PS2 or XBox game from a store, you have virtually no input as to how to make it better. You are actually lucky if you get support for any problem you might encounter with those guys. We are fortunate that we have a forum to discuss these issues and improve the product and our overall enjoyment of it. I appreciate all of the posters on this forum because I have learned lots just by reading the threads.

Thanks for listening!

This forum has a rapid turnaround time, in terms of getting bugs noticed, and changes out there. The thing I like the best is that Markus actually takes the time to respond to the more serious of the problems, and posts his comments publicly here.

I think his question was does Markus read/respond to posts in "OOTP Problems, Feedback & Tech Support". He clearly responds in "OOTP 6 Discussions", but I can't say I've seen him post in here much. In fact a search shows that he's responded in exactly 3 threads in here since January. It appears he's relying on the testers to relay any issues described here.

True.... however, there appears to usually be an increase in feedback shortly after a new release. For example, when I posted here about the AI bad player bug still being around in 6.5a, there was a delay of a couple of days, and then Markus posted here asking for my league file. To me, that shows that some work is indeed being done on that front. Personally, if I was Markus I'd probably use the testers to vet concerns in this forum as well, now that there are so many of them... some of which can be answered without help from Markus.
