Ok, I guess I should have said, they are not impacting MY enjoyment of the game in any way. (I can’t speak to anyone else’s experience and honestly I don’t care about anyone else’s experience. I assume no one is holding a gun to anyone’s head forcing them to play a game that makes them miserable).
Are there some things I don’t like? Absolutely:
-
Taxes that can be raised to ridiculous levels by guilds,
-
Towns that don’t have the right tier of crafting stations
-
The fact that even when I do get to max level, if I’m not part of a territory controlling company the odds of getting to play in a war or invasion are slim
-
Downgrades from invasions/wars
-
Not being able to have more than one toon per server
-
Can’t modify the interface, or change chat colours which is a bit of a pain
-
and a few more.
But none of the things I don’t like are deal breakers for me. I still rate the game as fun to play.
This early after launch I expect bugs, and what feels like long waits for fixes (it’s the way the industry is, and false equivalencies regarding other industries don’t matter, because, in THIS industry that’s just how it goes).
So, I can either be miserable and focus on the things I don’t like, or I can focus on the things that I’m really enjoying and have faith that AGS will address most (no one addresses all) bugs in due time.
In the end, I’m having a great time with the things that are working and I don’t miss anything I’m not getting from the things that aren’t.
My point is that not everyone that isn’t furious and ranting thinks that AGS has done 100% perfect. In My opinion, they’ve done a good job, and made a product that I enjoy.
I (and likely others) are aware there are issues. But it’s only been a month, and I can wait. I’ve seen many MMORPGS get better (and worse) over time, and I’m looking forward to where this one goes.
I’m definitely not saying people don’t have the right to be upset and other’s opinions are just as valid as mine (and vice versa btw), but some people are losing their minds, over a game that costs $55. If that investment was so crippling that one’s world is turned upside down by some in game problems, then one has bigger issues than a few bugs.
cheers!
