Month after month, we can see that CDPR makes little to no progress at testing their patches before release. Right now I feel like we need a post to clearly express to the developers team that it cannot continue like that : this is not professional.
Each update bring it own bunch of great bugs, sometimes needing a week to be fixed. And I am not talking about Barnabas and Co, but some incredible bugs like the fees proc'ing buffs as pointed out this week.
There is a clear lack of testing, and maybe some effort should be put on automated tests to avoid regress ( this month: drill, kalkstein to cite a few examples) or expand the duration or number of players involved un beta tests.
From a balance point of view, I feel that there is also weaknesses in the testing phase. Having an idea is one thing, but more care should be taken before any change, to avoid hot fixes like we see every month. We had the obvious Freak show for example, it was so obviously broken that it could not have passed a proper testing phase. I don't believe it.
This month we have also broken things, just because of lack of testing. Take Francesca dwarves for example. Any experienced player could tell that Francesca was strong with the new Novigradian justice, I personnally had very high winrate with her last month. So we could have tell you that buffing the mercenaries was a bad idea.
Please review your testing process to avoid these kind of mistakes.
... By the way good job with the update, thank you for your work !
