I think they're running across more problems than they thought of. Remember how any solve with a dropdown menu was broken? And the comments were all out of order and popping up for the wrong puzzle?

Maybe they're sorting EVERYTHING. No sense in doing half a job, so to speak, even if it's finished late.

The real game doesn't start for another month anyway, over at www.perplexcitystories.com

Shouldn't these problems have been sorted before opening the site for solves?

That's good, but where do you find out how many points you have got and your place on the leaderboard?

For problems caused by sheer volume of requests, yes, there's not much that could be done except hoping... but for things like drop-down answers not working in IE there's simply no excuse for not testing that on a private server before putting it live.

Considering how polished the cards themselves are, and the puzzles and the ARG, and even the old site, the new site has been a continuous disappointment.

I agree, there are too many bugs. I am solving my cards now and hoping that I am getting points for them because there is no way of knowing, the points meter on my profile has gone

Yeah far too many bugs. Its almost as if they haven't done any testing at all. Big disappointment so far

It's a bit silly not being able to see how many points you have until you reach the top of the leaderboard, why have they changed this feature from season one?

Despite my frustration, I have to kind of say I agree. I feel a bit sorry for MC as I'm sure they've been working very hard on fixing things and getting stuff sorted out. When Season 2 started there was bound to be high demand which would inevitably crash the server and database initially.

I'm sure MC will slowly sort everything out, and in the mean time we just need to enjoy the cards and be patient! Razz
