Still major problems with hit detection (particularly w/ shotguns... maybe ARs) and splash damage. Player control not too fluid, public matches filled with AFK bots.... throwing grenades doesn't feel very 'good', etc, etc. Blah blah blah you guys know all of this too. So why are YOU sticking around? Are you thinking things are progressing well? Is there something you are looking forward to? You hear something about a new feature coming into the game or new fixes? Just curious. Tired of the grind... 
I was sticking around because I was hoping CCP, after 2 months would be able to fix a lot of the performance issues. But here we are after 2 months. The performance issues are still here or are worst than before. The fact that I can set the game on low and still get horrible fps(~10) is just unacceptable.
O, it's not just the performance issues that irk me. Poor controls: why on earth does it feel like I am wrestling the game for control when I aim?
Poor server / client talk: When guys are able to exploit the poor server/client talk to fit up stamina packs and a MD and bunny hop knowing that horrible client reliability makes their tactic impossible to go up against. It's not just a HTFU moment either, it's more of 'Why the **** should I bother?" It's not even the people who use MD's fault, it's the only way to play to win atm. If you're competitive, why spec into something that is so unreliable?
Voice Comms blunder, the patch has broken the ability to mute clients.(1.3) While fixing the issue of priority talkers, the extra bandwidth of having to support 16 people in a match from the inability to mute makes no difference in the performance and puts everyone back to square one.
Hell, you'd think that performance would be a top priority. Because despite adding content or fixing balance issues to get applause. Performance issues that just makes the game plain frustrating is the true game killer, and it's starting to wear on a lot of people quickly.
Basically the end result comes down to: Why play this game to beta test, when I play other games I enjoy without the frustration of having to deal with the issues? CCP quote on the blog said "We're all in this together.". Well sadly, a lot of people are getting tired of sticking by your side while you take your time. |
