This game is dying. Why do we have B3 prediction contest? Why do we have BuzzerBeta? Why do you try to invite more and more people, when you can`t handle such numbers?

About two years ago, I`ve tried to point out that with this attitude you`re killing the game and I was (not literally) called an idiot. Today the situation is exactly the same, if not worse. Looking at the changes which occurred in those two years, I must ask myself - had it not been better if you first tried to make the engine reliable, debug it as much as you can and only after that start to implement such crazy stuff as prediction (who the hell wants to get a close look at gazillion teams to guess gazillion / 2 results in the first rounds of B3?) and BuzzerBeta (is it working now yet? I don`t even know!).

Think about that before you tell me to go to hell once again.

Edit: And I even forgot to mention the superb isolation offense/defense tactics! What the heck was that "upgrade" about?

Perhaps it would be possible to start the training updates earlier? So they would start like 3 hours earlier than normal and would finish a bit earlier?

in which way would that help? people would just start complaining at 7am instead of 10am

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

Working on a B3 prediction page doesn't exclude working on the match viewer or optimizing processes. Different aspects of the game require different IT knowledge. Not everyone on the team is specialized in all possible coding languages, for example.

You are excluding things that can work parallel to each other. You aren't judging the purchase department as well when the sales guy once again mispronounces the name of product he's selling.

Just a word about the training, all of the processes are running slower than expected, so things are running but not as fast as we would like it to run.

That said, the idk 4-5-6 months we have been experiencing issues is a......surprisingly long time without having the issue resolved.


This is a processing capacity issue that gets compounded other issues. If they've streamlined this as much as possible, which I would assume they have, and there hasn't been investment into additional capacity I wouldn't expect this to ever be fixed and start running on schedule. Seems like a matter of how delayed training will be, not if.

Well the game engine is not reliable for those who dont' understand it, but the truth is that it's pretty reliable and it's the best thing this game has by far. Anyway im not going to blame you, i've read that on forums lot of times, when people dont know exactly how it works, they argue the game engine doesn't work properly(even before trying to think what went wrong). Also you are forgetting that this game engine is improving with new tactics.

About B3 contest yes, it took many time to predict the regular season games.

I am a user and as such I dont care why it is not working, but I do care it is not working! That is what you guys should bear in mind. This forum is full of apologies and excuses, but I dont want to read them again and again, I want the game to do what it is supposed to do - fun!

You're 100% right that I dont see it as a whole picture but why the hell should I? I am not one of you, I am your customer and I dont care that the guy who made B3 prediction cant fix the game! You know what's my answer? Fire him and hire a new one who can fix it, or rather who can make it never happen again! Your post is just another excuse, nothing more.

And as long as you are satisfied with this state, you will have to spend more time replying to such posts as mine instead of making the game more fun.

If life would be as easy as you state it is, we'd live in a perfect world. Unfortunately, it isn't.
