Imo the Dev’s have opened up Pandoras Box. In trying to bring more ‘zing’ into the game (to get more $) they literally have killed it. With every new “Age” they introduced new problems (bugs) without fixing the problems (bugs) of the past.
Think about it. The more they add to the game, the more problems (bugs) are created.
We all know the mouse-trap/ping-pong ball scenario. In this scenario mouse-traps are game bugs.
You are blindfolded. In the room (any size) there are two mouse traps.
This is the Age of Sorcery. You can step almost anywhere. The odds of hitting a mouse-trap are minuscule.
The mouse traps were not removed before the ‘Age of War’.
Age of War introduces 100 mouse traps. Whoa step carefully. Same size room but more mouse traps.
The mouse traps were not removed before the ‘Age of Heroes’.
Age of Heroes introduces 1000 mouse traps. You can’t step in any direction without hitting a bug (mouse trap).
The Flagship ‘Living Settlement’ is put on hold shortly after release. Re-instated after a Nuke fix, but at the cost to private servers.
Players on official servers are still losing their thralls after the hotfix.
Apart from the usual automated std type replies Funcom have said nothing. So sad.
I love the game but Funcom are killing it.
