I personally feel as if this game still remains in BETA. I’m always disheartened at the issues for those climbing ET – a single disconnect on certain floors rends the entirety of the run impossible. Not so bad on lower floors, but higher floors are still an issue.
I think that the chat system remains atrocious and should be overhauled and revamped.
I’m not sure why this game doesn’t come with an inborn quest tracker, one that doesn’t require a third party program.
Have you read about the blatant FPS issues? I’m on a Titan X and can coast through any game I play but somehow this game still manages to bend my GPU over, no lube.
What can be said about botting and cheaters that hasn’t already been said about Vietnamese hookers before?
< insert here complaints about botting, rabid cheating, unresolved core issues >
Is it all bad? Well… Lets delve into this.
Has there been improvements? Most certainly. There’s always a bug fix or two, but it’s more than clear than our version of ToS doesn’t get enough care to support the longevity we’d envisioned and desired.
I want you to keep in mind that there are plenty of people like I, who despite the issues, still find the game enjoyable. With that said, any person feeding you the bullcrap excuse that the state of the game and it’s imminent decay is due to it being catered to a more casual crowd is most certainly deluding themselves and others.
This was the fastest Greenlit game in Steam history; the numbers don’t lie. There’s a severe lack of players in smaller servers, Orsha for an example, which causes the economy to suffer tremendously. For an example, there’s a now steady and heavy swing in Token prices. Valuables which should otherwise be frequent and cheap sell for far more than the average player can afford. I’d like to remind everyone again that a Venier on Orsha sold by Atramedes (11 crafted in the past two months) are DEFINITELY selling for 17-20m a pop.
Why? There’s only a single channel to farm Fossilized Lizard Amber for.
The deduction in channels is a direct result and an affirmative response to a lack of players.
If you aren’t aware, Venier is a staple item for Fencer. You can see how damaging this is to new players.
< insert list of white knighters who wish to say they can do this or that to farm it, completely ignoring the entirety of the point here >
Fact is that at this point those who claim RMT damages the economy are defending their statements with trickled down economics. They’ve an education on the subject equivalent to a 5th graders first Lemonade stand.
For the next few months to come and until the imminent closure of the game, the community that remains up until that point will continue to feel the brute of those issues.
With that said, I am a firm believer that ultimately what you enjoy shouldn’t be altered by another persons opinion under the assumption that your enjoyment isn’t unaccommodating anyone else.
If ultimately you feel that you want to play this game, if you have fun, if your money that you invest (if any at all) into the game is rewarded by some positive experience up until you quit or the game closes, whichever comes first, then that’s truly all that matters.
But don’t let players here sugarcoat the facts for you.
Crap is still crap even after you’ve sprayed it with perfume.
