I'm sorry, this is appaling

And what I find appalling... People feel the need to create 10 different threads of the same voice, yet... demand attention to their threads and ideas instead of allowing the authors to work on what is actually important. If you don't want to use the addon anymore, than done. If you want to add your complaints like the others - use an already established thread - there are plenty of them and you can stop clogging up the forums for the rest of us. |

As I said before, they are all small bugs easily overlooked so no one should fault the developers for them, and i'm sure they will all be fixed for carbonite 5.0411 ... I had the same bugs in my initial release. But to say there are no problems with it is saying **** doesn't stink. |

When the official update came out, I installed that. Not because I didn't like Rythal's patch, but because it was an official version updated by the author(s). Guess what? It too works. I have tested since I installed it, and the only problems I have noticed are the annoying flashing icons (I mean ALL map icons) and I was doing some archaeology in Feralas and had a problem with the map not knowing exactly where I was. It couldn't seem to figure out which map to use in the area around Dire Maul until I landed. Then it was OK. The go to point was in that big stadium. I even got on my Hunter (which I haven't been on in about a year) to check the hunter tracking, and didn't have any problems at all with it. Y'know, it's kinda funny (no, not the "ha-ha" kind, either). All I keep seeing is threads and posts about how angry every one is with the authors. Every one except Rythal. He seems to be OK with the way things are going, and I haven't seen him post anything bad about Carbonites authors / developers. Can't you people take a hint? Leave this alone. Please go on about your business / lives and just let it go. It's OK to be angry on behalf of someone else, but THIS has been about done to death. OK. /rant :o |

Of course, since I don't do some of the things other people do, I (probably) don't use some of the addons they do. Any problems with Carbonite if you disable all of the other addons, and leave only Carbonite enabled? Not trying to be "funny" here, but that's the only sure-fire way to tell if the problem is within Carbonite or it's some other addon(s) interfering with it. |

It's entirely possible that Carbonite might just work for him. Just like it does for me. And I am definitely not related to the authors. I just like Carbonite. |

When there is 99% negative comments (and a bunch of flaming) being posted by members, it is also good to show some reality that it isn't that bad. In addition, I have seen these comments over and over and over again every major patch or new expansion since Blizzard told them they couldn't sell the addon and ultimately it comes down to the same thing - updates happen, just not as quickly as the "entitlement generation" wishes it would. I personally can understand the authors not wanting to release the rights and codes - especially to a big handful of loud and ungrateful complainers. As I said earlier, if I were them - I would have probably screwed with the code - fixed it to break when MoP actually comes out and people had gotten rid of the old codes and files. |
Ever tried a client which is not enUs or enGb?
No map, faulty configuration(as in ups this option throws an error, no questlog and anyway on deDE the only thing working with the so called release 5.041 is the freaking buggy as hell configuration.Everything else is simply not there or buggy.I never used Rythals version cause i am an software developer and i respect copyrigth in everyway but it sounded like Rythal had all those problems fixed or at least a lot.Why not ask him for advise/help if anyone of the original devs really wants to keep this project up an running?Seemingly he doesn't want anything but a working copy of carbonite for us ( as in community ) doesn't want money and never took credit for anything the original team made.a little talk of one hour or so to fix all bugs fixed by rythal in your own personal way would be better than fixing it all by your self and spend ours on it you could invest in other things.anyway thanks for the great addon but folks you could use some lessons on accepting help or at least learning from code snipets.i my days that was the way to go to learn something...talk or read and try yourself oh i'm getting oldish again.nice work carbonite team i used your work ever since i heard of it in early 2008 but had to remove it due to all those bugs and performance problems :( |
Isn't it hard to update an addon when you do not play the game?

Have you tried deleting Carbonites "SavedVariables" file in your WTF folder to see if that helps? I was also wondering if you are deleting your Carbonite folders (or the files you are updating in a folder) before updating. It may be rare, but you can still get a bad overwrite. Sorry, Rythal, just trying to figure out why you would have so many problems with no other addons, but mine works OK with as many addons as I am using. |

I believe I read somewhere that there is no daily quest maximum anymore, so that's why the error happens. The devs might not know about that and that's most likely why it was left in. Quote:

I'm glad you can see first hand, finally, one of the many errors that players come to when they play the game. Just because you don't do what they do on a gaming level, doesn't mean the addon is not broken, and therefore, useless to them. Our valid question is, for a simple fix to the daily quest error, for example, why don't they fix it? It didn't take you very long to figure it out. Why is it taking them months (if they even fix it at all)? There are bugs being reported NOW that have remained bugs since Wrath of The Lich King (when I first started using Carbonit). |
It does not get fixed because they, unlike most addon authors, do not play the game. It was developed to make money for them. Blizz stopped that and they stopped caring.

So, why are you doing this to the people that gave you their hard earned money? Why can't you let the fans help with the updating of the mod and make everyone happy? You can keep your donation page open, yet say don't expect anything in return and then act like this.
Classy. |
