Yep did that all, you’d think a game this big would have people that monitor this 24/7 like almost every other game?
A game called Tibia that is down to 10k odd players literally instantly patches and exploits or bugs and will release patches on the weekend and actually work weekends to fix major bugs, a small German game developer and that’s why people still play Tibia 20 years later.
You’re telling me a company the size of AGS can’t dedicate people to weekends shifts to monitor or atleast acknowledge when major bugs/dupes come about?
We’re always sitting here in the dark waiting for days for them to finish their IRL lives. It’s not 3 people making this game it’s an entire company, they have what 4 game studios? Are you telling me they can’t pay a few extra moderators for weekend shifts?
Imagine if they caught onto this and posted an immediate update “Hey guys we’ve seen blah blah blah we will be addressing this as soon as possible, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
The biggest issue with AGS and it’s been riot since early beta there is little to no conversation between AGS and its playerbase.
We get development updates in the form of videos and we have a few devs here that reply with “Hi we’ve seen your message thanks.” but that’s Monday-Friday during work hours?
There is a reason this company has pilfered its player base and why even us 5k+ hour players have finally basically lost all hope and are waiting for T&L.
You show me any other game that has these types of issues, you show me a game that somehow releases a yearly event and reintroduces all the prior bugs? Like is this seasons, are we to relive the same bugs every year because they forgot to remove the bugs they patched from the last build from the prior year?
It’s beyond lazy, I’ve seen the majority of my friends quit a game I really love playing, and it’s evident on all the servers. They have no ingame GM’s monitoring server progression ect, there are servers that are due merges that don’t get them for months until the server and the player base has vanished, they finally listen and over turn a merge because of some people and literally force Eridu into an early grave whilst cucking Delos at the same time.
The only way they seem to learn is the hard way, and that’s monthly/yearly figures and them being pressured from higher ups.
If I wasn’t a fan of Scot Lane I’d probably be even harsher here.
