Why not rollback defective patches?

Recommended Posts

If a new patch introduces game-breaking bugs, why not just roll it back to the previous stable version and do some extra PTR testing until the dev team is able to work out the bugs?

I don't know if the Elysium devs do or are capable of doing much PTR testing, but I'm honestly wondering the same thing myself.

I really appreciate the amount of effort that's gone into this server, and providing a Blizzlike experience, but this just seems like...the most obvious, common-sense solution when there are major issues with any patch.  Surely it's less stressful than trying to rush a fix, and further breaking things?

Rolling back doesn't always fix a patch. And in some cases could possibly hurt more then what was done.  Roll backs should   be a last resort thing.

What you need is much better testing before releasing the patches to live. (I work in software testing)

Not easy on a volunteer project like this though.
