While I feel that the lack of attention to older more minor bugs is because they're trying to focus on new content (the lack of which often garners more complaints than lack of bugfixes), it would be nice to have a little more feedback on bugs that are being addressed. The team working on TiTS is superb in this regard; they not only reply to a bug thread with a brief "fixed in next release" post, but actually move the thread to a specific "Fixed" subforum.
EDIT: I stand partially corrected. There is a "Fixed" subforum here, but it's fallen into disuse. Looks like it hasn't been used since June.
Hmm, thanks for the reply, although I do somewhat disagree with one of your points, which I'll mention below.
So, not sure what the implication was with regards to "the lack of attention to older more minor bugs".
If that's to say that all of the older bug reports are about "minor bugs", then I disagree, because that seems like a sweeping generalization. There is definitely at least one that should fit in the "major bug" category - which I won't link here, because I'd like to motivate the devs to actually have a look at the older bug reports.
If that's not supposed be a generalization that all the older bug reports are "minor bugs", then the statement itself still seems pretty dismissive of the older bug reports, as though the devs are justified in ignoring the older bug reports, and should continue to do so. Which I also disagree with, because that essentially seems to imply that one must report bugs without any expectations of it ever being addressed, let alone fixed, and the basis for that is that the devs just didn't go through the bug reports for a few months (for whatever reason). Kind of seems like a slap in the face to players' / users' efforts to report potential issues they find, and trying to improve the game (something you'd think the devs would also want).
Adding more content to the game is important, but that's not to say that bug reports can completely be ignored. Without fixing the potential bugs in the new content, it would possibly not be accessible (or at least one aspect from it might possibly not be accessible), no? So, if it's fine to fix the bugs for newer content, then why is it not okay to fix the bugs that might possibly appear in older content?
This doesn't seem like it would be an issue if the devs were better at fixing the bugs in a more timely manner.
Oh, and also, the Fixed sub-forum for CoC2 was last used in July 2022, not in June.
Would hope the devs, or more specifically Savin, the project's lead, would reply to my original post - as that could possibly help with some clarity on the matter.
As it stands right now, it just seems as though this is something they'd rather not address, in any capacity.
