My #1 beef with Amazon/NW Developers has been there terrible communications (lack of and misleading) with the community. They went along way to fixing this with their communication here last edited today along with the Banner of known issues at the top of the forum.
Please Amazon @Luxendra I encourage you to continue this process.
Now we move on to the next issue, patch 1.04 introduced not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 or more game breaking exploits I will not recount here, forums and reddit are littered with accounts of them.
The fact patch 1.04 was allowed to be deployed with these many serious issues is truly unacceptable. The rush to fix server transfers and enable outpost rush to stop the decline in players, led to a lack of testing, which led to multiple game breaking bugs and exploits.
Towns have been lost to opposing factions, incredibly hard elite bosses are being farmed by small unkillable groups, how do the developers plan to reverse this FACT?
Patch 1.04 needs to be pulled, servers rolled back, and players compensated for a lost day of play.
Every moment patch 1.04 is left in place and servers not rolled back is a slap to the majority of players that play the game fair, do not exploit and play by the rules.
There is no amount of fixes that can be deployed that will remedy the damage done by 1.04.
I know this is an unpopular suggestion and expect it to be roundly rejected, but alas the integrity of the game and credibility of the developers is at stake at this point.
I would have been really worried if the game had been released like this but I find the current state OK for a beta.
I can’t wait for the final release!
It wouldn’t feel as bad if I didn’t feel as though all the bugs newly introduced alongside all the things deactivated (i.e. same myrkgard portals, regular portals, malevolence bosses, outpost rush) and they all have to sit there for a freaking WEEK until we get another round of bug fixes.
I think the thing your talking about was actually in the game the whole time
But luckily for us we have hero you tubers deciding the community has to know about this exploit to get it fixed and inspired some heroic players to also abuse the new bugs too
how is this really any different from the betas and alphas?
when they “Fixed” things in the betas and alphas, they usually broke more things then they fixed. its just par for the course here folks.
i mentioned this in reddit… but anyone remember the bobber issue in alphas and betas? you know the one, where the bobber would stay on your screen after you reeled in your catch? it was a like a min-game, see how many bobbers you could get to stay on the screen.
well, it only took about 8 months or so, but AGS finally fixed it. how did they fix it? simple. remove the bobber… now that little pesky thing cant get stuck on the screen if we dont show it right?
well just remove crouching and AOE from the game, bam, 1 new bug fixed.
