GOA, what about them XML files?

[Subbiz]

It has been down since previous patch, and you have constantly fired excuse after excuse. it has been working close to perfect on US, so I have a VERY hard time believeing what you say about software problems with the new patches. The way I see it, you probably fucked up coding your system.. In the time that has passed, you could have made 4-5 totally new systems to work this out, such a thing does NOT take 3+ months to fix, so here is my 2 pence: GET YOUR FINGER OUT AND GET THAT ASS IN GEAR!!

It is _NOT_ acceptable that the US, Italien and Asian ppl got it working when you do NOT!

Anyone supporting me on this, reply to this thread to show GOA that we mean business. If there is no acceptable news to this issue with an ETA that they will LIVE UP TO, I am going to put together a petition to mythic to take serious actions against GOA! I have no clue if it will work, but I suppose it will if enough ppl express their oppinion.

So, support this post, and state your oppinions!

 

[old.mattshanes]

Yes it's absolute bullshit,we been waiting 3 months or more,it's not rocket science to fix it,we pay more now than we used to we at least expect some better service.

 

[Jiggs]

[Glacier]

dont be so hard on GOA ALL DEM WANTS IS SUM LUB!!

on the other hand.. Totally agree..How many people GOA got working on DaoC Anyway?

 

[-Nxs-]

Agree with the idea of the post - but not really the language... shame on you !!!!!

There may be a valid reason why the XML is not working, but it seams to me its just lack of knowledge or time, maybe they have other priorities.

 

[old.Glabbin]

agree... GOA dont give a shit...

 

[Norvindus]

All the above.

 

[Carlos Bananos]

fix it puh-leeze.

 

[vincibility]

I'm sure they would have fixed it. But I hear the team that usually deals with that is busy making next season's flashy picture for the front page. Oh, I will miss the sunlit man, looking into the sparkly water with the jumping fish and reads blowing in the reads.

But then I thought I'd miss the Christmas scene and the one before that, too!

Pfft.

 

[Thorarin]

Version 1.62 should go into testing soon, with it going live a few weeks later.
So hopefully we'll have XML updates again in 3 to 4 weeks

Until then I would've been ok with that one-time update they promised a month ago or so, but I don't think we'll see it anymore..

I have to agree with everyone. GOA, if you were an american company, you would be filing for chapter 11 (protection from bankrupcy) faster than you can speak your native tongue.

Get your act together please and for once GAIN some respect... because you sure as hell are losing it fast.

Hey, they are French, what did you expect?

 

[Pandemic]

well my guess would be that financially they cant afford to hire a software engineer to do the work. i dont know the company structure but i would assume that goa or the parent company if they have one has made a big loss recently and so they have been told not to hire any staff.

its sad and i dont like it - but thats been the case in most games / commercial software houses i have worked in

so basicly you are just saying that GOA can go and blow u or what?

 

[Marcus75]

I also agree that they should put some real effort into this and their way of coming up with excuses over and over isnt acceptable when they gladly take our money each month.

haha, but they got time to make the stupid fish jump out of the waterfall and all those creaking cogs on the menu!

i mean all we want is less fluff, more information on the herald its not hard to grasp....

fluff in game = good, fun etc!

fluff on herald = waste of bandwidth!

 

[finbahr]

ALL OF THE ABOVE COME ON ITS WVORKING ONPRYD WHY NOT EXCAL

 

[inqy]

PARDON?

what's working on prydwen?

 

[Tilda]

I agree, stop making "GOA quests" and fix the stuff thats broken, give us a US style web site that it ddosnt take 30 mins to load, and fix the chronicles.

[Shanaia]

I agree

I'm SOOOO curious who's part of my guild ... I totally lost track <sulks>

from assorted newsitems on euro website:

[http://camelot-europe.goa.com/news/newsarticle.php3?id_article=1013]
"Chronicles

A few week away from the coming patch (translation of 1.61 already started), with still no new working Chronicles, our team met the lead-designer of the parsing tool at the E3. To sum-up the discussion, it will be best to wait for the "new" tool, currently used by Mythic, offering a direct synchronisation with the saved characters. This new parsing tool will be integrated in the coming patch."

[http://camelot-europe.goa.com/news/newsarticle.php3?id_article=1024]
"As we announced last week, the Chronicles will not be changed before the coming of the next patch and the new parsing system, getting the information directly from the servers. Next week, we will run the "best" parsing tool we have on each of our servers, understand, the least bugged. It takes about 24 hours for this tool to parse one server ; therefore it will take quite some time to parse everything. The results may vary as well, from "quite ok" to "totally out of the whack", but you should get a pretty good display of the guilds of each server, at least more up-to-date than what we have now, while waiting for the next version of the Chronicles."

[http://camelot-europe.goa.com/news/newsarticle.php3?id_article=1043]
"Chronicles :
This was obviously an important discussion at the end of which no short term solution was obtained. The current aim is to move as quickly as possible to version 1.62 (which should go live in the US next week.)"


As you can all see you know exactly when we get working XML - same time as 1.62 is live. I agree that GOA should be very ashamed as the old XML files are from March. I also agree that the GOA herald is totally useless, but we all want to browse the NP and duskwave alternatice statistic sites (and why not camelot-seer).
