Serious question, do people think the guys who designed this promo at EA are incompetent or just assholes?

I can attest that these people cannot be stopped short of fixing the game. It's like trying to solve a roach infestation by trying to stomp the ones you see. Some of them keep coming back, regardless of how much punishment they take, and new nolifes will come in and replace the ones that do finally give up.

They don't care enough to fix it, plain and simple. It's probably still people using memory editing software to change various settings. It would be easy to fix. In the past I have sent their people a handful of ways to break it, and even code snippets for some of them. Other games will crash if you try to do this stuff. I guess they don't see any financial upside.

Because they don't know how to manage capacity on AWS? All kinds of poor configurations and lack of resources can cause things the game calls network errors. There is likely nothing wrong with the network. They just did not deal with capacity issues either in planning and/or on the fly automatically. This is stuff that nobody else has problems with. I know the NYSE doesn't run on aws, but when was the last time you heard of people not being able to place orders because of network issues? The same principles apply. These dunces just don't know how to set their stuff up.

In fact, I do not want to play the tournament because it is completely broken and I have already lost two tickets. What I want is for them to have people managing the game who are not functionally identical to people with double-digit IQs. My point is don't hold out hope that it'll be better later, given how incapable their team is.

This isn't a bug. This is them not having the first clue how to manage their infrastructure combined with a piss-poor app that crashes out on transient network errors.

There's no a network error. There's a competence deficiency. These people have no idea what they're doing. Their inability to run the game is staggering. I do not think i could build such a feckless team if I tried. Seriously.

What makes you think they'll have gotten anything right by then?

Same. These morons are still too stupid to get anything right. TCP network programming too hard. AWS autoscaling too hard. So what now? Pay the money to have it keep happening? I'm sure they're not going to refund us because that's probably too hard for them even if they weren't assholes enough to bother trying to do it.

These clowns break more stuff than they fix. I'd love to know what they do on a daily basis, because the output is essentially nonexistent except for new promos, which are broken 85%. Maybe someone from EA could enlighten us.
