All of the client-authoritative programming that went into this piece of garbage should have been everyone's first clue that the devs have ZERO idea how to build a modern MMO. But everything else you mentioned is solidly on point.
Blunderbuss. I think it was a str ranged.
Bunch of software nerds working in websites and shit that don't play video games. It's pretty mind blowing how clueless they are to MMORPGs. Like the fact that my entire shed was lost to glitch that wasn't my fault whatsoever and I never got it back. In 25 years of MMORPGs I have never ever lost an item and been ignored so thoroughly by CS. They always get your item back.
I knew exactly where to look and the thread is deleted. Looked for other threads from data mined stuff and theyre deleted. If its not on a main stream website or video, its gone. Kind of odd that they would delete that stuff on their forum, but w/e.
There were teasers of armor sets in old trailers that looked.. well, most looked questionable at best, but there was a couple that looked really good. Where the fk are all of those? If theyre going to do seasonal / holiday, I would understand that with the FOMO purchases - but there should be more that are base line regardless.
It must be some kind of Amazon conspiracy because I can't comprehend any other explanation for Amazon throwing free money away. Like, all the people that already quit would have still spent a few million? before doing so if the cash shop had a way bigger/better selection at launch. So wtf?
This actually made me think about their 30 day delay. Based on the patches they've done in a month, my guess is they basically fixed fuck all in that month. They just don't have the talent or maybe direction to get anything meaningful done.
With how many design changes and the over arching problems of the engine changing at some point in development and more, its a miracle this game even came out in my opinion. I feel like it suffers from not only poor management, but poor talent as well. Eventually the game will find its groove if it continues to have support from Amazon, and all the players can do is hope that they find it sooner rather than later. With everything this game went through to get to this point, it would have crushed less funded companies.
You think 1 transfer solves that lol? Plenty of people couldn't play on the server they wanted at launch, because they were full or had a 7 hour queue, so they made one elsewhere, or their friends did. And then they transferred 2 weeks ago when the game was still somewhat alive. Then entire guilds/factions transferred off or on and changed everything again, and now they don't have a transfer token.
I think it's pretty universally thought you would get an easy 100hours+ out of it even if you just try to level to max ASAP and don't actually "play" to have fun. Well worth the cost of admission, no point in "waiting" to play IMO.
Yes this is absolutely true regardless of severe criticisms. The game is worth the money period. Even now, I'd be shocked if most people didn't have a blast for at least 40 hours minimum. Just sucks it may end up no more than that.
Eh while the game has its problems it's easily the most visually stunning MMO ever released on top of amazing audio all around. The combat is fun and highly skill based and there's a fuckton of grinding to do of all sorts whether it's crafting, dungeons, open world zones, PVP etc. Legit no reason whatsoever to pass on this game. It ain't perfect by a long shot but IMO the pro's absolutely outweigh the cons.
