Okay. There is a difference between a real [beta] and a glorified demo which is what the industry has systematically done over the last decade almost. As for being the worst developer you've seen for the PlayStation3; have you not seen Zipper Interactive and SOCOM4? How about Lightbox Interactive and Starhawk? You know that is still being put together in large patches. It just finally got death match like a couple of weeks ago now. I've seen of worse fully released products. Like Capcom titles, and Biohazard6. Again do you even know what you are talking about? I'm not saying you are just that you are over exaggerating things.
There is lag, and latency though. We all know this. It more less has to do with the server and build. When you have a jurry rigged unpolished build plus an older server such as this you are bound to have issues arise. This is why were in a [beta] though. It takes time. Hopefully CCP understands this and pushes the release date to early 2013 though. I'm not saying I agree with or like everything they did, but really I have seen worse products -- STEAK anyone from the Xbox? -- that were fully released. Atleast here were in a [beta]. It can be ugly. So long as CCP understands they need to fix it and take their time.
No one here wants the game to flop or fail. That is the truth. The previous build being better? That is more or less subjective. I find this build leaps and bounds better. What I think is a small minority of people are just finding nostlagia with the old build or having a harder time adapting to this build. I'd like us to be more civil, but when threads like this pop up.. Especially from a Warhawker that I know I get a bit emberassed for the both us. It retracts the from issues we should be discussing as a community as there are real glitches, hiccups, hangups, and issues to deal with.
Also for the record CCP has several DICE members on staff to help program and consult this game. So yeah. They are talking to some devs. More of less; less or more.
I really hate to say this, but Socom4 and Starhawk were MILES above what CCP has now. No, I am not talking about the raw gameplay or what the game is about. I am talking about playability.
Even thought those games sucked beyond suck, at least I could play them somewhat consistently. Pretty much the worst thing to deal with was reliably finding a match.
See what you don't understand is that some of us, like me, are having
MASSIVE issues with the latest build. I spend several hours a night restarting my game and dealing with bugs and errors left and right... just so I can play ONE MATCH. So many of you play like it's not big deal at all, but I am struggling nearly 100% of the time just to get in a single damn match without issues, bugs or errors.
For crying out loud, 9 times out of 10 when I type something into the chat rooms for my local, squad, or corp... I CANNOT see it, nor can I receive squad invites or anything like that. I try EVERY night to play with friend(s), yet we spend most of the night just getting me into a squad and into a match successfully. MOST of the time nothing ever works. I would be lucky to play 2 matches a night with my friends (or even by myself).
Seriously man, you have absolutely no idea what kind of stress and crap I am going through just to attempt to play this game
every single night. You would be 100% grey in a few days for what i have had to deal with in the last week or so. Even my buddy has said that nobody he has played with has gone through what I have.
In an attempt to fix something, I am going to delete everything Dust on my PS3 and start over, from scratch... which for me means about 48 hours or more of
PURE downloading. ****!!!
