in my view, when i first started, we had and an attack defend style game play which was very enjoyable, the only really game breaking things were more heavy bugs such as the hard-locks and swarms going crazy damage to inf. since then, one of playerbases more favourite game modes was outright removed rather than improved on. the game rather than hard-locking has just become more laggy and unstable (and still hardlocks) which in my view is even worse as now every game is poor experience rather than getting at least 3 good matches and then having to do something; matches are now "red-lined" as the norm which is not fun for anybody, basic gun fights are exercise in frustration in fighting frame rate lag, actual lag, and hit detection lag my skill in gamefights rate very litter after the first 3 have been dealt with.
CCP attempts to the balance the game has been in my view handled badly, rather than doing some small adjustment they have outright hammer the problem into the ground, which is not balancing a problem its outright removing it and just leads to more player anger and ends up cascading thought out the rest of game as something else will just take its place and leads to slow case of everything been toned down adjusting how the whole game feels.
their seems to be very little communication on what CCP is trying to test, which just leads me to believe they are hacking away at the problem rather than focusing on small areas to get right (such lets just get HD working) but this also leads to confusion among the player-base as to weather the game is working as intended or something is off.
overall my experiences of beta so far as been MAN THIS IS AWESOME.... to... i need a new controller as i just threw it out window. to put more bluntly i feel the game has gone downhill in all aspects and simply will not be good enough to retrain a functional player-base outside its core unit.
and yes i know this is work in progress beta, but CCP lost the right to hind behind that the moment you could pay to get into it, right now the game is been judged and word of mouth is spreading i can go to a number of sites and see a list of posts of people saying don't wast your time. This type of thing has killed more than one game before it even hit release and it would be shame.
lastly if your going to hold a tournament that people had to arrange there real lives around, it would at least be nice if you handed the prizes out in a timely manner, because right now we are not enjoying the isk you so proudly touted in your email because as far to my knowledge we have not had it yet.
so i wish to know that CCP is capable of understanding their player base is annoyed at the current state of affairs and the direction of the game and that they are working towards improving it. because if they cant admit there are deep problems then i feel the studio simply lacks the experience to make a competitive shooter in the modern market.
... and yes this is rant but 1.3 months of build getting more unstable, and 90% of my death being though fame rate freezes, lag and death tanks has really killed it for me.
This actually has some constructive points, but the biggest one I took note of was not being able to hide behind beta excuse since a lot paid to get in. I got the beta through PS+, so technicly, I paid, at a very very very low and amazing price (PS+ FTW) so I can understand that point. And for a lot, it was 20 dollars to get in, just to see things go downhil each hotfix and update.
But mainly this post seems to criticize CCP inability to simply casually speak to us about the game rather then just throw us foot notes. Which I agree with, but they really don't need to. |
