both well-documented in these forums, as well as things like:
aka “dear customers, we know we made something broken: use our product” (this particular instance is purely cosmetic, but there is a well documented history of QA shortcomings on released events/updates).
Once the players in my guild realized this developers’ patterns ref. Professionalism, Programming/Design Skills, QA & Morality (and set the expectation bar accordingly), their enjoyment of the game (GoW is a very enjoyable game if e.g. you don’t bother with maxing factions, getting all rewards, getting troops/mechanics that work as expected when released…), improved rather noticeably.
Also (and related to this specific instance): never buying beyond Weapon Tier until weekend is here (and devs have logged off until Monday, thus minimizing the chances of curve balls/arbitrary changes).
