Aaron we are all ready Bethesdaing by having to install a mod or community patch to fix issues that are months old because they aren’t fixing bugs in patches that come over time and working on big content/balance patches. They only work on Content/Balance Patches and fix bugs in a more timely way only if enough people scream about it. In 600 hours of game play I think I’ve had 4 hours without some sort of significant bug hindering game play. during EA that was understandable. I left in June because well it stopped being acceptable after launch. Now I find nothing has changed. Bug fixing is still secondary to the sexy stuff that makes more headlines.
Then Tascha says the test live patch should go live “End of January early Feb at the latest” in an announcement post and when I repeat that you get a Mod and “the Chosen” saying that shouldn’t be believed and these issues might not be fixed.
So are the Mods speaking out the wrong part of their body or is Funcom?
Right now every time I log in I have to wait up to a minute before for sound syncs and graphics fully load because I have build my base in a way to I hope deal with Purge AI. It’s taken over 100 hours with base gather stats… I’m still not full done.
I can’t attack Crocs or Spiders with Spears and a few other weapons, Harvest bodies or low rocks, twigs, etc with the picaxe or the combo tool when I log in until I use the mirror. That gradually got worse and worse to the point it is literally a permanent issue now.
I reloaded the game 3 weeks ago or so I think… I only installed the mod because I thought it might be an issue with character model height. (As clothing physics are STILL broken on anything but base model height 2 years later)
But hey lets re balance things. who cares about clothing and hair physics on anything but the base character size that doesn’t matter… who care that people physically have to install mods to play the game at all… who care that you can’t actually do anything for a minute or two until things fully load. People can wait and wait and wait. Then we will give a time frame and when someone that isn’t the chosen gives the actual information provided by a Funcom Community Manager we will dispute that because we don’t want the community to actually think we will delivery what is said to be coming. Have to lower those expectations.
Conan could be the best game I’ve ever played if they’d just fix the bugs that impact game play. As it is I fully expect the new patch to break something significant. They always seem to mess something up. I’m just hoping it is a new issue and the current ones are fixed.
However having a mod sit back and say " There is no hard fast solid timeline for this." even though " The current TestLive Patch, including any additional updates, is scheduled to go live at the and of January or Start of February at the latest ." this seems like a hard and fast statement. I didn’t bold it Tascha did.
