It’s already February. In last Dev blog you were saying that next few months should add new variety of content to the game, including new weapon and maybe new part of the map.
Now on PTR we don’t see any kind of new content, only some bug fixes etc. Should we wait for March? Or April? Or when? Give us at least something: some dates, some work report, new dev blog. At least anything!
Mutations came out as a frankly controversial update, rather a failure. In addition, as such, they have already been passed and there is almost no meaning left in them. On my server during the first day of update one group finished 6 or 7 mutation levels. And with the addition of shards to the OPR, half of the players will simply not go through the dungeons. In addition, the updates themselves on the PTR also come out quite controversial (for example, an incomprehensible GA nerf and complete indifference to Void).
The game just has huge problems with online and now more than ever people need some kind of hope, some information about new content. When we see the two-handed, when we see the desert, what is the progress on the rest of the weapons, what is there at the expense of new dungeons and so on. Yes, you added a lot of things, but this is not exactly what the community wants. And in these difficult times, we just need to understand that we endure all this for a reason.
Regarding all bugs,crash,laggs,de-syncs they try to fix and the time it takes… I think that AGS realizing that they probably have to do more rework than during the beta phase of the game for a released product with the budget and human capacity they could get.
Any new fix is generating an other bug, any new update is generating a lot of new bugs and exploit or pushing ahead “old” bugs/exploits.
Imo we should take a break and not hope about new content soon, it will be already HUGE if they can fix the whole core broken game. They have ideas and feedbacks for this but what is missing now is time/capacity i guess.
They said that February was dedicated to bugs, balance, and bots. I honestly wouldn’t expect much content anytime soon. Even the months dedicated to content were lacking in actual content.
One weapon
One event with boxes on ground to loot, a meteor, a couple quests with some reskinned mobs
An added piece of UI for a couple existing dungeons with artificial gearscore scaling to make it seem difficult
A giant Turkey
I may have forgotten something minor.
5 months and its not even the size of one update of a good MMO.
They have been working on some new dungeons and another area for about a year. That will probably be the first significant content drop. It will probably also be used as DLC that you have to pay for similar to an expansion.
Its already getting there. I went from playing like 8 hours a day to playing a couple days a week for a couple hours each. There just is no point. Everything is time gated or a huge grind or both. You manage to make it through those and don’t feel rewarded for it. Then you think about your efforts to get even gold and 20% of that is given to some town owner. I don’t play the game to make other people gold.
As other users have said, this month is focused on fixing bugs, changes to balance, and getting rid of the bots. After that, you can expect some great content.
I think everyone would enjoy new content, but an update focused mostly on squashing bugs and refinements is overdue and is probably the right move atm.
Who cares about pvp / opr balance when we barely have one opr lobby running on pretty much every server. MERGE / TRANSFER NEED TO BE THE TOP PRIORITY FOR ALL AGS DEVS.I really don’t understand how it’s not as clear as crystal water… feels AGS not talking enligsh or idk
The Winter Festival was good and certainly rewarding with 300 gold per day through presents. The Mogul invasion theme was interesting but probably missed by many since it was for lower-level players. I would like to see an expansion of the Mogul content in the future. I would suggest that AGS goes with a full on NPC Mogul invasion that can capture territories held by a faction. This would shake up things.
lmao
Mutations have been out for 2 weeks.
There are 3 dungeons that least 1 week each.
Not all have been done.
Even the ones that were done were only finished by a handful of people.
You also might want to re-watch the video and read a bit more.
January was the mutation release. February is Bugs and Balancing.
