Patch 1.09 ...how long until it is released? Also, possible patch schedule so everyone doesn't get burned out
-
Anyone know when patch 1.09 will come out? Will it be this week or the following week? I am hoping it is this week, and please fix the duplicate collection issue (especially the duplicate Jackie collection issue).
Also, seems like the game patches always come out on Friday. A suggestion.... industry practice is to release patches on a day during the week other than Friday, Saturday or Sunday, as patches or downtimes on Fridays burnout support teams if any issues arise. In addition, if the patch causes other issues (like the sell now bug), it makes both the software engineer and support team's life non-existent on the weekend. (You guys do deserve a few days off....hopefully you can start rolling some of your team to get a day off here or there soon so they all don't burn out). To make life better for the support team and also engineers...I recommend releasing patches on Monday mornings...so that if anything goes wrong your team can fix the issues during normal hours during the week. Additionally, a 'Monday' patch would allow you three more windows during the week for hotfix patches if needed (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday). Just an idea.....and that being said (as a product consumer)....if you can release the Jackie duplicate fix immediately that would be greatly, greatly appreciated! (I'm cool if you patch the game overall or fix the issue for my account....I just want the issue fixed.)

Well considering we had a Patch last Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I think they release when they feel necessary. It isn't predictable or something they can schedule. Sometimes Hotfixes are needed.

Last week was an exception. Seems like SDS usually releases game patch upgrades on Fridays. They do this so people can play over the weekend w/ the latest code, yet it is also dangerous if something goes wrong ....like the quick sell bug that got introduced in one of the Friday releases.
Also, server downtimes are not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about game, client-side patches. They did the 1.08 patch last (Tuesday??) I think to fix a 1.07 bug from the Friday before.....yet I think the Wednesday and Thursday patches were just server downtimes, not client-side game patches if I remember correctly?

Oh...and I know SDS will not tell us in advance until they release the patch's release notes....yet what bugs are fixed in 1.09? ;). Hey, gotta ask, right? ;). Oh...and where do I send $$ to get the Jackie double collection bug fixed ASAP?? Which software engineer do I Venmo the $$ to to get this as a priority fix....because the bug has been in the queue for over 3 weeks already?!
