I think posting here won’t reach anyone important. You might be able to message devs directly or just review bomb the game on the rating websites and maybe when they see the poor reviews they might try to fix things.

So, what have the team been doing for the last 6 months? Because now the combat feels crazy terrible, but before this wans’t that much better either.
+1 for the only solution left, uninstall.
I stopped playing VG because of this horrible glitches in this patch, it’s freaking impossible to play with. I used VG since VG launched and always loved it but now it’s unplayable.
Game was never is worse state. Even first beta was not close to current live version. It feels like frist alpha not a realased game.
Psss, dont tell them about versioning systems like git.
Here’s an idea. Keep all the QoL changes that came with the latest patch, but revert ALL combat changes to the version before it. It was manageable when we had to deal with minor bugs and glitches, but now it just isn’t fun and I don’t think we can keep enduring this madness for long.
The combat changes were not ready, please just take them back to the lab.
Yea, the QoL changes were really good.
I remember them saying they were going to take their time and release patches when ready. Then they immediately set hard timelines for patches, and instead of releasing several smaller more manageable patches the opted for wide sweeping patches that effect literally every aspect of the game. This is clearly not in their ability to manage, I don’t understand why they don’t recognize their own limits as a studio and develop the game on a path that they can manage instead of sweeping changes month by month.
Why did the opr rewards have to be tied weapon que system for example. Should have been separated smaller more manageable patches.
looks like the PTR is not served to test all those new changes to prevent bugs and issue in production server… but it is more like a sneak peek server to advertise their new release.
Its a sad sad day to blame the players for the QA of a game. Sad sad sad day.
Can you link me to the bug post you made when you realized something was wrong? I want to see what you reported.
That is the point of the PTR, lol. You play the upcoming release and report bugs. All I said is that not everyone does that. That’s placing blame on all “players”?
Its called PTR not PBHR (Public bug hunt realm)
Its a test realm for players to test the new content.
If you were to do a “taste test” , you aren’t testing if the food is toxic or not, you are testing if it tastes good or not.
You literally did blame the players tho? “they can only test it so much and rely on the players to play test and report bugs.”
There should be a QA department Amazon hires to test these bugs. they need over 100 testers. right now they are outsourcing that work onto the players in order to save money.
I agree, combat is the worst it’s ever been. Melee is basically dead if you’re not a Grav well bot
That is not a proper bug report which further proves my point that people play PTR and dont report bugs PROPERLY. The devs don’t work out of the General Discussion forum. There is a bug reporting thread in the PTR section of the forum and bugs are supposed to be posted there in the bug reporting format. All I’m saying is not a lot of people do that. Sure, there are posts there but most are the same few people reporting bugs they find over and over.
Normally I would agree that people don’t really report these things enough, but I personally spammed reports about the combat all through PTR. I’ve also done so almost daily on this current PTR. In their latest devblog they said that the in-game report is the best way since they have markers to track everything properly and that’s what I’ve always used. It’s possible that not enough people reported these issues, but that’s no excuse since they were definitely reported.
They simply didn’t listen to the feedback like they said they would. If they even played the build internally before release they would notice that something was seriously wrong.
Just wait until next patch, combat will be fixed I promise
edit: If this bug makes it to live, I 100% am quitting this game for atleast a year.
