Things that should be fixed.
-Broken AI :
There is nothing more enjoyable and fun than coming upon a giant dragon, getting exited by the fight ahead and suddenly realize that the thing doesn’t move a finger…So fun…com…
There are literally entire areas with AI enemies unresponsive, mostly in the north but not exclusively. There are even two world bosses, at least that i am aware of, that suffer the same fate, the blue dragon, close to the eastern entrance to the Volcano and another big black giant somewhere close to the north western borders. Packs of ice rocknose, here and there. In those areas, the player’s thralls will also stop working correctly, staying immobile and starting to tp to you when you move. I observed this both on official servers and in solo. This is quite…pathetic…I love this game, but things like this make me wonder if the game is still in alpha…
-Converting thralls :
there is a bug with the conversion of thralls that make them instantly converted. As much as i don’t like grind, i hate this type of bugs that are easily turned into exploits. It happened to me twice. The first time it was on a official server. I talked with another player who told me that this was an old bug…I mean, devs are constantly nerffing stuff and making pve unfun just to please pvp players, but somehow this doesn’t bother them ? Strange…It sure bothers me…
-imbue Wisp and nightvision potion simply DON’T work :
Both the spell and the potion simply don’t work. I play with an agility build, my favorite play style. So, i am mostly using both hands to fight and can’t use a torch and fight at the same time. The problem is that wisp light is way too weak. I mean WAY too weak. I just can’t see anything and end up having to switch to my torch between fights to see things. As for the potion, i really can’t see any difference when taking it. First time i tried the potion, i closed my inventory, looked around and went back to my inventory to take another potion because i thought i didn’t take it the first time. This is ridiculous. For now, i solve the problem in solo by using a mod that increases the light intensity from the wisp but it really sucks that, on official servers, you have to switch to a weapon you don’t want to if you want to see anything during the night or in dark dungeons…Makes zero sense. Don’t even try to tell me it’s balance or technical issues. There is simply no valid reason. This, for me is a bug, and should be fixed.
-Dead enemies escaping into the backrooms so i can’t loot them :
I can’t count the times i killed guys or knock them out and the body simply vanishes into the ground. I don’t like losing loot like that. I know you can walk away and come back to make knocked out enemies to appear but it doesn’t always work and this should be fixed.
-“Craft All” button often doesn’t work :
This happens in the benches menu. I usually have to craft a few or exit the bench and back. But it’s annoying. Minor but annoying.
-Using sorcery bench, sacrificial stone and circle of power doesn’t work when over encumbered :
Do i really have to explain how terrible this is when you are using beast of burden and you have to remove all your stuff just so you can get that “willing” participant to offer his blood to me ?
-Beast of Burden doesn’t work on horses :
I mean…Come on guys ! If anything, i would rather have this skill to only apply to my horse so i can still use him for something. Otherwise, my horse stays mostly at home…This really needs fixing. Seriously…
-Certain high tier benches don’t provide the effect described in their description.
So one of the many cool things about the crafting system is the high tier benches that you can build and they can craft things faster or reduce the cost of materials. Well…doesn’t always work…I don’t remember exactly which ones work, which ones don’t. But it’s the ones that are supposed to reduce the cost of materials. It’s really frustrating to spend time building those benches and realize that they don’t work as advertised. Thank the gods i gave up on online and can reduce the grind in my settings in solo. Another useless thing to had to the list of things to avoid building because it’s just a waste of time and resources…
-Corruption build :
So when you corrupt your attributes you basically lose half of your health. When i corrupt vitality, i end up with 350-360 health without any food or potions…I am not sure of the precise number right now. But that is not the issue. The issue is that once i disconnect and then get back to the game, or if i die, my health is now reduced to 300. No debuffs no nothing. This is terrible…Why don’t you make sorcery even more useless by taking 90% of our health and stamina and make it so we have to be naked to use it, and we can only use it during full moon by using a specific emote while looking 34° Est-North-East on a Thursday ? Let’s make sorcery as useless and annoying as possible. Yes ?
-Affectionate thralls and pets get me stuck against a wall like in those American boom boom movies and then i can’t breath :
Yes so i have a story. Once upon a time a dude takes his horse and wants to go North. Let’s call him Youssuf. But in the middle of the road to the North there was this other dude, let’s call him Jimbo, who decided to recreate the China wall at the scale 1:1. Youssuf sees the big wall and thinks " oh no, how am i going to pass this wall ?". Then Youssuf sees an opening in the wall and behind the wall there is an open road made of foundations. Youssuf is happy when he sees this and decides to go through the opening and to take that road. Everything is going well until, suddenly, Youssuf and his poor horse, let’s call the horse Fatima. So Youssuf and Fatima fall into a hole in the middle of this road. 2 foundations missing. Poor Youssuf and Fatima are now stuck in that hole. Youssuf tries to dismount but ends up stuck under Fatima, between Fatima’s legs and the corner of that damned hole. Youssuf tries everything, prayers, crouching, jumping, log off and log back, but nothing works. So poor Youssuf is now left with only one solution. To kill himself and have to walk all the way back, butt naked, to get his stuff back…Wonderful…The end.
-Game shutting down with no warning and a window pops up asking to verify files.
This happened to me while i was playing on a official server. Which means that i died because of this bs. I verified the files as asked and there was nothing. So fun to die in a punishing game because of this type of issues…
-Desyinc is the ultimate boss in pve online.
I completed the game twice in this last two weeks and never have i found anything remotely as frightening as desyinc when on official servers. It’s simple. It counts for at least 80% of my deaths online.
-Elixir health and stamina bug :
Ok, i am not exactly sure for this one, but it happened once. I don’t use elixirs since then. Basically i took an elixir of vigor and suddenly realize that my health and stamina where suffering a minus 60 points. Which is not the effect that vigor is supposed to have.There was nothing showing in the effects, no debuffs, but i could see on the right side of the stats menu this minus 60 on both health and stamina. Removing the bracelet fixed it but now i don’t trust elixirs…great…
edit 1 : Actually about wisp again. The spell only works once, then you have to log off and back to be able to cast it again. I think there is other spells too but to be honest, i only started really using the other spells with a mod that actually makes them fun to use.
Well…nothing else comes to my mind right now. I may edit this if i remember anything else…
