First thoughts of the new chapter

As of right now, my own crom coin balance has been restored, but my friend is still banned because of this issue. I also read that people have been affected AGAIN, after having had their crom coins restored once already. Andy’s post said that there shouldnt be new problems and that the core issue was fixed. Doesn’t seem like it.

  • Camel mounts. Don’t work. You cant put a camel calf in stables. So much for that feature.

  • Purge: broken. Demolishers do massive damage, enough to oneshot anything they hit. This was a known issue in test server, yet they launched it. And now devs say we have to wait til mid-january, ie. ONE MONTH, before it gets fixed. What the actual F? Purge was supposed to be the MAIN feature of this age, and now its going to be broken, for a month at least? Not to mention all the issues with spawning the purge. Ive had it spawn, Ive also had it not spawn, seemingly for no particular reason.

  • Tavern: really, really nice. I like it, but mainly for RP purposes. However it does give a whole lot of life to my base.

  • combat rebalance: people are angry that funcom put forward a change that seemingly nobody asked? See Wak’s video about it. It doesnt feel like something I cant live with, but I dont understand why they made changes in the first place.

  • PVE raid: Ive not had a chance to test yet.

Im kinda at a loss for words at how big a mountain of *uck-up is Funcom allowed to grow before something changes? Its probably some executives somewhere that force the devs to work their skin off and launch stuff unfinished and unfixed, but this can’t go on. The crom coin issue is a monumental trainwreck. No player in their right mind is going to recommend this game to their friends.
