Starcraft 2

Recently, there was a patch that was on the PTR for ~a month. When it went live, items started disappearing all over the place, and people were panicking like mad. What I want to know is, why did they not catch that on the PTR? I mean, people were losing LOTS of money, I heard of one guy who lost a stack of primal mights. The game was literally unplayable that day, because playing was risking losing your items. Stuff like that is what makes me question Blizzard's ability to maintain a game. I think Blizzard should just come up with the ideas, and let someone else actually run the game.

Like EA?.. or something.

Anyone would be better than Blizzard.

No... not EA.

No... not EA.

Lol sorry forgot the /sarcasm tags. IDK, I give blizzard props though they're aren't doing a "horrible" job, but there is Definately room for improvement. Nobody is perfect.

Anything on the PTR generally makes it onto Live, unless it was a beneficial change. It sounds cynical, but there are literally tons of game-breaking bugs like the one you listed that make it from PTR to Live, it's pretty hilarious.

I think that was the patch on PTR where they were testing the idea of Devastate attacking with both weapons a la Stormstrike, which was removed for doing "too much damage". I was hopeful too, it would have meant I could actually play my Warrior outside of a Raid/Instance.
