You realize how foolish of a statement this is? Changing the patch size takes so little effort it's negligible. That could honestly be achieved in about 5 minutes at a computer. The bugs and errors were likely identified previously but as everyone likes to forget, changes have to go through Sony for approval and I think we all would rather have minor bugs patched within the next couple weeks as the changes get through Sony approval rather than have to wait that same amount of time to get access to the entire patch.

If they found the bugs after initially submitting the update then they would have had to resubmit the entire thing with the changes made and the process would likely take just as long. It's a big update with a lot of small changes to entries. It is incredibly easy to miss things in that sort of environment. The fact that they have so quickly told us that they know these bugs are there and they intend to hotfix them is something we should be glad about especially since fanfest is right around the corner and they are likely incredibly busy trying to prepare for that.

Mutha duck, every time EVE patches, a new bug crops up. Giant games have huge code and sometimes it's going to eat itself. It's how effing mmos work. DAOC was that way, EQ was that way, WoW still is that way. It's annoying that old dead bugs are back? Absolutely. Does ut suck that CCPs in house QA is far too small? Also yes. Does going through Sony more than likely cause the devs to drink? I would.

Patch day sucks for everyone everywhere. Stomping the bugs as soon as they appear is standard.

Sht will go south.
Code will break.
internet space trolls will be butt hurt.

GG patch day rage, you reign uncontested again.
