A look at the bug forums

I took the 151,617 figure at the top as reports made this year. My bad.

Does this mean that the bug team is consciously slowing down the processing of reports? This is very puzzling considering that there are countless eager players who want answers. I used to think they were all busy, but I didn’t expect the data to show that there weren’t as many reports that each person had to deal with every day.

i can already tell you, there is other tech mods as well
one realy bad one coming to my mind and i am not even speaking about the one that got all the flak on the issue site

We pretty much gave up on the Ariete. Earlier this year a more comprehensive report on the armour was made. They passed it to the devs, never to be heard of again.

I have also noticed that after May/June of this year the amount of ignored reports has increased. My guess is that they don’t have enough people to manage all the new reports.

Very interesting work, by the way, I enjoyed quite a bit.

I’m not so sure at the moment, but you have to bear in mind there is a significant back log of posts yet to be reviewed. Additionally the vast majority of reports are nonsensical e.g. claims of cheating, purchases, and paragraph arguments with no sources. I think it will be interesting to see how some stats change as time progresses especially the accepted and fixed issues and could paint a better picture of performance.

Main reason is simply popularity, Abrams get tons of reports of people who bought the premium and want to complain after getting pummeled at top tier. (ofc there are legitimate well written arguments with sources about it as well but they are far outnumbered)

True, I have seen several reports on all sort of problems which do not even provide a source (not even a random website).

I wonder if Gaijin is planning to tighten up the bug report site. 100 comments of just “agree” is pretty nuts.

Yes some kind of auto mod for posts and comments would go a long way in reducing their workload

They are not slaves afterall, they get holidays and days off, I would count sth more or less like 300 days.

What letter does his name start with, T?

Any idea which of these have air sim EC experience?

I have a bug report that was “send it to suggestions” that is pretty clearly a bug (cl13 sabres at 7.0-8.7 brackets flying at supersonic speeds and violating energy retention by bobbing and weaving like dolphins on steroids).

Surprisingly, the dolphin movement only seems to manifest on select maps (Denmark, Dover Strait).

Also, I have an important question. As the game’s vehicles become newer, their information will become more confidential and difficult to find. Does this mean that most players will have to watch Gaijin do whatever they want in the future? Because the vast majority of vehicles are unlikely to be supported by data, such as the F-15EX, J-16 or Su-30SM2 and the like. None of this stuff is likely to have data, and we can only watch some of the criticized bug managers decide all this?

In addition, I have heard that the management of each group within Gaijin is independent. I mean, the information that players give to the bug team doesn’t necessarily have to be passed on to the development team? A lot of issues from years ago have not been solved, maybe the bug team forgot about them?

This doesn’t include the full list of bug report jannies theres some missing

I’m guessing they will continue what they have started with conservative estimates of capabilities. Some people have been annoyed due to the hypocrisy of an instance of promotional material being used.

The bug reporting feature is nice and maybe cheap on paper, we the players are basically the Testers and reporters that are usually a Job on its own, yet we dont get anything in return (would be nice gaijin, im still an active reporter on the old forum i got a title and 1000 GE, some 250-500 GE for every fix or so would be nice. I got over 200 Reports and much more stuff is wrong in game).

And then only 18 mods, that work on a volunteer basis as far as i know and only do in their free time such.

This all is a cheaper alternative to a whole team or extern company, tho also a funnel which slows down the process.

Accepted reports are meant to receive some kind of developer response. I think the problem is that newer additions typically get better attention. It doesn’t help that the last 2/3 updates have been quite rushed so stuff has come out in not a great state with tons of reports being made quite quickly on them. Just look at how popular on the word graph the eurofighter was already.

I shure wish they would give every accepted report the same attention.

PLS Gaijin, fix Mg 151/15, Mk 101/103 Pzbrsprgr (I-T → ApI-T (Apcbc), 15mm H-Pzgr. 1030 → 1050m/s, 5 cm Sprgr.38 170 → 200g He filler, give it to the L/42 guns.
Remove the tracers from the 5 cm Sprgr.38 and 7,5 cm Gr.38 HL series,
All the missing barrle changes from 20 to 15mm of Mg 151 for Bf 109, 110, 410, Do 17 Z-7 series planes.
Swedish 20mm Ap-T incorrectly Apcbc.
Ju 88 A-4 and C-6 missing armor. Missing coax and AA Mg 42 for couple of german Halftracks.
And many more.

Since people have been asking about accepted reports I thought I should add that there are 3530 accepted reports (an increase in 18 in the last 6 days)
