I’m not of course trying to insinuate that AGS is without blame. Just not going to give them the whole blame. AGS has no experience in an MMO much less a AAA game and have been making mistakes that are expected from a first game basis.
What I argue is that the forum doesn’t have a clue or at least a portion of it has no idea how to give any kind of criticism. Negative criticism can be composed without the buzz words, chaotic tone, anger, rage n so on. Then it sparks conversation which then leads to a difference of views for ags to read through and make informed decisions based on both sides. When its the blame posts, well, that’s just Forum PvP.
In terms of what I am. PvX would fit. Though I play on average just about all genres. Some more more than others. PvP to PvE. I was drawn for the PvP here. No level of hopium was enough to prevent the utter disappointment of how lack luster war is, how boring opr is, how dumb tag simulator 3v3’s are, how bad the balancing is, blatant favoritism of some weapons over others, no genuine progression in PvP, faction quests are redundant, open world died in 3 weeks of launch, and for 1 whole year I waited for PvP to be fun. And for 1 year I have been disappointed, n yet I still sit here playing. Or its hopium, or its to see it through till it dies for real.
I didn’t expect much comm from a APP Store set of Devs.
I can go on for days the number of times AGS confused the shit out of me with their backwards decisions. But really, if the community wasn’t so hell bent on hating ags half the time. (Not all) but many.
If Devs & Player want it genuinely then, just for 1 day maybe start of every month, have Devs open a special forum thread where they freely talk. None of that parrot policy response. Real talk but 1000% enforce ToS, and kick out anyone that starts shit from that specific chat thread.
The worst hit was losing 99% of the playerbase. With such a huge amount of people some will just voice their frustration in different ways. That’s the beauty of freedom of speech.
But I still belive rude critique, no matter how harsh, is way way waay better than just silent abscence.
Forums are always a place to vent. Why else would people waste time here.
If there’s nothing to vent people will just play.
Not to mention that many here view suggestions as toxic attitude aswell
While also if people suggest together sth. likely good for the game and it keeps ruining the experience ingame. Peoples frustration grows, and thus the words they choose.
Mine definitely does. I enjoy pvp. I don’t enjoy running m10’s with sweats who want to clear in 15min tops.
But I have to, because I do not want a static, and I can’t get my gear up without wasting hours with no end for shards.
I disagree, rude critique offers nothing but wasted time spent when read.
I ran M10’s for awhile but they’re so boring & easy. Made to be the exact same dungeon with extra steps and a rating score.
OPR being locked at 60 has always been redundant.
I probably won’t enjoy PvP for awhile until AGS decides what NW is suppose to be.
As for the shards. 10 wins a day I can get 6k a week. But we both know probably neither of us play casually, so 1-3 days for 20k shards from OPR.
For me, this FSS launch is premature. It should have been after a few years and a full revamp. Now its here, so either AGS learned from day 1, or the exact same life & death will take place in the weeks to come.
Wtf. I you get 100per win. Some games go up to 40m.
You could literally say best case scenario if you play a lot is like 350shards a day.
350 * 7 = 2450
daily 4 gypsums? = 1600 * 7 = 11200
And let’s be generous 1 from track + 2k or so
So yea. if you play a shitton, you’re at like 10-20k a week.
To get a single set to max you need around 90k shards. Let’s say 100k cuz sometimes we switch stuff out.
So 3-5months if we take some days break to get a single set up.
It’s a joke. Sprouting nonsense about classvariety
And yea I disagree with the critique. The game could’ve just died and they wouldn’t maybe even understand why. But they like to blame players for their own shortcommings. They did it for the first months in New World (oh those bad ice gaunlet users, why don’t they just deinstall)
And in Lost Ark they pulled that of for 2months aswell before actually acknowleding their own issues, even if just barely.
So they’re no cute nice small company acting all right. I wouldn’t blame players on that, cause if both act immaturely it’s just stupid from any adults perspective
Yes and? Some matches are also very short because enemy team or ally team are all bows that won’t get on point lol. 90% of the time I just play with 600 sets to horde Umbral for later.
Chanting “game is dead” “Game is dying” “Game will die if you don’t do this” “Game is dead because you won’t do this this or that” is not critique. “Ags your stupid” “AGS wants to kill its own game” “AGS should lose their jobs” is still not critique. There’s hundreds of these posts dating all the way to back to last year.
Neither side is innocent. None the less the game has reached Y1.
I’ve been reading the forums back then, and I did for the past 2months.
From today it will be toxic. That’s certain, but it really wasn’t toxic either prior today neither a month after release.
But if someone is a snowflake than everythings toxic. I mean my skin is white. Just my existence is inherently offensive to many these days.
Can’t please all tastes
And even if toxicity is only this forum would bring.
Doesn’t change the fact on how they handle things.
The game was utter trash on release. It had it’s good signs, which got praise backthen, and still get today. But we’re still in the beta pretty much
Even if they handled it poorly. If we want them to communicate, we have the choice to create discussion like we are doing right now. Now a days its 50,50 when I get discussions like this.
Yeah but the whole skin thing is because the foolish believe wikipedia to be true and correct n never bothered to learn read a history textbook. My tan skin is hated for being a hard worker.
Same shit different day.
I believe in dialog. If its always going to be an MW2 lobby, then nothing will ever actually get done because they have to sort through nothing but giberish to sort out what is information and what isn’t.
Whether the game was bad or beyond bad at launch. It shouldn’t be so immensely hard to formulate in a paragraph or series of paragraphs why or in a few sentences why, offer a solution, and manage to articulate it without 50 Fucks lining the page. Constructive Criticism can be mean as hell without ever uttering a “fuck you”.
We’re in beta? When? I felt more like this is the 4th Alpha made considering how many bugs & times I fell under the map, over the map, got flung across the map and my favorite, climbing the air.
