Why do you release things in such states?
TL;DRJared Huckaby says waiting for perfection doesn't work, citing a long wait for an earlier patch that still had issues, so they release in the best condition they can and keep fixing afterward.
That question comes up quite often, and I always go back to 2017 and the wait for 3.0, when we didn't have any new content for like nine months because we waited and waited and waited and tried to get everything done, tried to get everything perfect, tried to get everything dialed in, and there was no new content for nine months. I had that stupid beard because I said I wasn't going to shave until the patch came out. And even with all that work and even with all that waiting, it still had its issues. The answer is there's no such thing as waiting until something's perfect. There's just not. So we put things out in the best condition that we can, and we continue to fix, and we continue to push, and we continue to develop afterwards, which is what the folks working on the hotfix for the mission system are doing right now, which is what you're doing with fixing the damage pass-through for the Ironclad. And our friends from CGP4 as well. Shout out to them.
