Darkside gets all sorts of upgrades tomorrow. The app form is like 5 yes/no questions to get on the public part. Will be 6x6 grid and wiped at Noon EST tomorrow for a fresh start and for all the map upgrades. I built some neat things in O12 as part of TLS that I'm sure will be recked hard sometime in the next few days as now all the streamer zones have less than 20 players in them.Game was fun. A bunch of TLS rerolled on one of the RP servers for now after the shit last night/this morning, including Burke. Several others are done until shit gets fixed. Don't know if Darkside RP is a temporary thing or not as I stopped playing a week ago but the general consensus before this shit was massive frustration with all the bugs and exploits and balance issues. The crap earlier and the lack of response was the final straw for a lot of people.
I don't feel the game will ever be great, but with the proper balance and scheduled resets it could be a decent-good sea pvp game. Base raiding blows and probably wont ever be fun. Of course, if they can't stop shit like people spawning in whales and fucking kamikazes it wont matter. Oh well.
So much potential and when it's fun it is super fun, but the bugs and bullshit get to be too much sometimes. The blind ass rollbacks whenever someone finds a new Admin bug, the other night when they removed sails from all the rafts in the game, the whales that would occasionally fly right up into my ice mountain fortress and just thrash until everything was destroyed. These devs though... their solution to building based lag was to make stone structures require organic paste and metal? I want to believe they will get it all sorted out, the game balance kind of things, anyway. I have no faith in them being able to fix the performance issues, they keep making these "20% performance improvements" that have made things objectively worse each patch that is supposed to improve things.The only time I haven't just had a blast playing is raiding in laggy zones. When the game is running smoothly I'm just loving it. Sadly any large scale fleet battles, which I think would be fun af just cause the zone to slow to a crawl.
