Very true but most of those human beings don’t release a game, brand it as an MMO and then…
Lack the leadership and decision making for a game starting off with a million active playerbase
Have an engine not thouroughly tested and accuractly looked into through many months of Alpha and Beta.
Have zero knowledge and/or can’t be arsed to properly think about player progression which resulted in most of the dedicated playerbase completeing the top lvl cap content and crafting in just over a month. Not to mention the destroyed Economy from too many easily attainable drops and resources.
have the branding of ‘Amazon’ , the richest company in the world should have a set standard, many people were coaxed into buying this game from the cover footage and reputation alone and the game ended up being something a small, up and coming indie team would be fairly proud of.
I’ve been in their shoes to a degree but not as big of a scale.
I produced a product and made my boss and everyone that worked with me look like jackasses.
It was presented to another organization and shit rolled down hill quickly. I then proceeded to work extra hours (without pay) and worked from home on my laptop til I fixed what I messed up.
You can say I have a sense of responsibility and pride for my work and it appears for a company this big and with their reputation they would have the same.
When you produce a product to showcase to customers and other organizations if your product is dog shit you need to be fixing that asap and providing constant communication and assurance it will get done until it’s done.
It’s insane because people hold cashiers and waiters more accountable for their food being bad than developers and publishers putting out bad content.
you’r making a big asumption, toons of bug reported since alpha are still there.
But ofc peapol crying without pointing out clear problem / making argument are a pain.
But right now you’r doing the same thing you’r cryuing over a behavior that you can not change aniway battleling against the river prety much.
Sure you can complain against comunity but you wont change anything, thoug if you complain against AGS eventuali since they are looking to make profit they will fix thing.
You see duping was here since the game came out, AGS took the time to fix it when it was widespread (new dupe has been found since)
Smart people? You mean ignorant casuals that are unexperienced.
That type, class, defining function is what is causing syntax error over the enire fucking forum.
Sorry but the mild approach isn’t a thing this deep into the hells of bad coding and design. It’s all about rant and money wave at this point to make any astronomical luck of AGS direction change.
And my general philosophy on the matter is:
If you sell people a broken product knowing full well the advertisements are false, you reconpensate those who wish to return the broken product and they can chose to stay and give it another shot or take their business elsewhere.
Im not here to make the game worse, im just here because I feel scammed and Im getting hollow responses from the people in charge of communicating for the company.
This game is trash. Concept is good. Games trash. We’re way past constructive criticism.
If you seriously think that, “we have to become better as a community for the game to be better.” is at all a solution, then you’ve been dropped on your head a few too many times. Us being a better community isn’t going to fix bugs or make AGS put out a patch or update without new bugs or exploits.
How many hours have you played and how many hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars have you spent on shit you ultimately ended up using once or a few times before tossing it into a corner?
A lot of things, but I am truely a fan us reusability. I also grow my own food and do food composting irl. I dislike this capitalistic throwaway culture we are living it.
Sure I have put hours into games, food, sports, ect that at the end of the only brings me “joy” but thats what Im paying for, and thats what Im not getting from this product/game.
I didnt find it fun to chop logs and fish for hours not making any money. Being constant broke. It felt like work, but thats how I view any MMO. Its all work until Max level. thats when the fun opens up for me, but in this game I realised the end game is fked, and the game itself is broken. While I did these boring chores I came across numerous bugs but I excused them saying: Well, by the time I am max level the few remaining bugs will be gone" but it FINALLY dawned on me; this game has been more flawed than I noticed, and its currently practicly not working for EU. Probably wont until monday or holidays is over.
All I have payed for currently false hope and advertisement
How would I feel? Like I’m getting fucking paid to do a job, and it was sub par.
You ever sell cars? I sold cars once upon a time. Now that’s a hard life. You’re on your feet 14 hours a day, no guarantee of pay, sometimes you go weeks without selling anything and don’t get to eat. Sometimes some fucko comes in expecting a brand new XJR for $100 a month with no money down, no credit, no cosigner, and is upside down on his trade in.
And when you can’t make that work, your sales manager sits at your desk and says to you “Why didn’t you sell him a car you fucking retard? If the next person who walks in doesn’t buy you can fuck off”
Know how many customers came in saying “hey maybe we should be nice to the salesman, they’re working super hard”
Fucking zero. And I’m supposed to feel bad for someone sitting in an air conditioner office in a comfy chair writing code because they fucked up repeatedly?
Hell no. When they fix their shit they will have earned some leeway. Up until now they have earned nothing and deserve nothing.
I actually agree with this. This community is really toxic towards the development team. That’s not to say there aren’t valid criticisms, there definitely are. Its the overall petulance of the apparent aggrieved that makes this place a bad place to go. A lot of entitlement running around on the forums.
