TL;DR Obviously it wasn't long enough as you completely missed my point anyway lol .... I'm not saying it's taking too long to fix, i'm saying it shouldn't need fixing at all !!!!! We aren't in Closed BETA now kiddo (skip to the bottom of the post for the summary)

Game Development stages (Because you seem to be reading a bible version of game development whereas I use the scientific definitions) which are:-

Alpha Testing or just Alpha GÇô Alpha testing is an early stage of testing of a game. ItGÇÖs usually done after a game just finishes being developed. ItGÇÖs very common for games to be unstable in this stage, as the purpose of alpha testing is to iron out the GÇ£obviousGÇ¥ bugs and glitches. Developers usually conduct Alpha testing internally, meaning gamers will not get a chance to try the game out. Game developers do this because they donGÇÖt want people seeing the game until its further developed.

Closed Beta or Close Beta GÇô This stage of testing usually comes right after all the problems discovered in Alpha testing are fixed. The length of closed beta testing really varies from game to game. Some games go through numerous stages of closed beta testing titled GÇ£Closed Beta 2GÇ¥, GÇ£Closed Beta 3GÇ¥, GÇ£Closed Beta 4GÇ¥ and so on. As the name implies, this stage of testing is still GÇ£closedGÇ¥ from the public, but is much more extensive than Alpha Testing. Gamers can usually GÇ£applyGÇ¥ for Closed Beta testing, as developers want gamers to GÇ£try outGÇ¥ their game and report any newly discovered bugs to them. ThereGÇÖs no way all of a gameGÇÖs issues can be discovered in Alpha testing, as only a handful of people are trying out the game and looking for bugs. Closed beta on the other hand, is usually open to many more people. Sometimes hundreds sometimes thousands. Since this is a non-public beta test, most of the time characters created during closed beta will be wiped. This means all characters will be deleted when closed beta testing ends. This is not always the case, but is the norm.

Open Beta GÇô For all intents and purposes, Open Beta means the MMORPG / MMO is released and available to the public. Anyone can register and download the game. In 95%+ of cases, there arenGÇÖt any more GÇ£character wipesGÇ¥ after open beta, so if you create your character in open beta, you will most likely still have it after the game fully launches. Open Beta is still considering beta testing, but almost all of the bugs / problems with the game have already been worked out. Developers usually focus on enhancing the game by adding new features during open beta rather than fixing bugs, but users are still encourage to submit any bugs they discover during Open Beta.

Commercial Release GÇô The game is fully released and is no longer in any testing stages. Developers focus on expanding the gameGÇÖs features and content instead of hunting for bugs to fix. Like in open beta, anyone can register and begin playing the game right away.

TL;DR Please note that this game is in the stage which is in bold and underlined and even if im being kind and say that we are in some form of open beta CCP are currently spending all their time fixing bugs and glitches .. this should have been done during closed beta .. I have never seen any game developer rebuild an entire matchmaking system from the ground up after it's been released .. hell they don;t even do that in closed BETA lol

This is a PERSISTENT F2P FPS, normal rules don't apply, this game is in constant development!
Basic tesring ensures the game works nothing more!

If we were to BETA test until all content was finished, we would never see release!

Like they said in the interview, they are working on a new stat deployment system! This will allow them to make more variations and changes easily! They obviously testing this with the W.A.R suits! However it will also effect the vehicle rework, they will want to move over to the new system before deploying chamges, incase they wish to male more!

Don't forget since uprising 1.0 we have had

Flaylock
3 new terrain boards
1 large socket
1 racial socket set
Assault Dropships
General Map Improvement
Texture, shading, lighting, terrain improvements
Massively Improved hit detection fixes
Active Scanner , Passive scanner changes
Additional WP
NPE improvements
Squad Finder
New Corp Roles
And more than I can fit in this post!

Atli: We needed to give some of the changes planned for 1.5 more more attention, so we moved them to a later release. We are also working on a new cooking system (cooking is what we call the process of taking source assets and preparing them for deployment) that gives us much more flexibility in patching the game. Due to these factors, we decided to focus 1.6 on bug fixing and engine enhancements. Uprising 1.7 is larger in scope than we had planned, but the wait will be worth it.


This is the quote for those that don't want to read it all.

and if I was someone at CCP I would be giving Uprising 1.7 a different name.

TL;DR Obviously it wasn't long enough as you completely missed my point anyway lol .... I'm not saying it's taking too long to fix, i'm saying it shouldn't need fixing at all !!!!! We aren't in Closed BETA now kiddo (skip to the bottom of the post for the summary)

According to this interview with Creative director Atli Mar, patch 1.6 will focus on bugs and engine upgrade.

Engine enhancements and bug fixes are far more important than anything else right now so I agree with ccp, thank god Dust514 is in the hands of ccp and not some of you Berks who would just give us new maps and guns all day long.

So is 1.6 still for vehicles?
