This update made this game much less enjoyable. I was playing it a lot and I don’t even like it anymore.
Thralls suck now, there’s almost no point in having one. They just die and don’t do damage to npc’s. They no longer have a hold function. Less control is objectively worse gameplay. Also thralls won’t attack ware hyenas, and the ware hyenas don’t seem to add anything meaningful to gameplay.
The menu system is much worse than it was before. Inventory sorting is more confusing and less organized. It was much better before the update. The doubled button functions are clumsy and get in the way of smooth and enjoyable gameplay. The L2 function is terrible. Square being consume and view information makes consuming items rapidly bring up the item information screen, making consuming gruel, for instance, stop gameplay after a few quick button clicks. Why would anyone want that?
The new changes to the controls in the menu system are awful. They were much better before. Please revert them.
There are several other things that are much worse in this update, but I’m already bored of listing off things that are making me stop playing a game that I used to enjoy very much.
I really want to like this game, and I really did like it before this update.
I’m going step away for a month or two and check back to see if Funcom wakes up. I really wish they didn’t ruin one of my favorite games.

If you feel like your life is ruined because of this update, then yes, a step back is probably what you need.
Yes, some of the changes suck. Luckily, they already told us that some of those will be improved in a future patch. But at the end of the day, it’s still just a game, which isn’t worth losing sleep over.

Life ruined? Not even remotely… but here we are waiting weeks, or maybe months, for Funcom to fix things they shouldn’t have broken in the first place and that’s not cool at all.

Are you for real? I have close to 7k hours in total in this game, so I would say I am invested.
The patch changes are highly annoying, but not more.
If this “ruins” your life, you seriously should consider another hobby or just stop being a drama queen and think about meaningful titles

This is a game fella. It’s not real life. Try finding someone to love. If you already have, your life is not ruined.

Maybe time wasted , not really ruined life unless is methaphor of how bad updates are and ingame life is ruined
Wait till the next age, maybe you’ll like that new version of Conan. Or maybe the age after that when the redo it all again.
Funcom exec approaches dev team -
“I’ve got this great new idea from a game I just played, that’ll totally revolutionise PVP”
Tired and wary devs - “What is it this time?”
Exec - “You program in a ball, and have two players bounce it back and forwards between them off their shields, then if one misses, they lose.”
Devs, slowly losing will to live - “But how will that work in a 3d map environment?”
Exec - “Maybe it won’t, that’s ok - just get rid of the map, and instead stick the players in a square box.”
Devs - “I should’ve just gone into my brother-in-law’s shoe shine business…”

I used to play Pong as a kid. It was awesome, and there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be a success today, too.
You could even have different colored clubs now. (Cosmetics bought separately, of course.)

Lol, all while monetizing each update, and being super excited about new bazaar items! Double the screwups, double the season passes, double the income!
I think we figured out Funcom!
OP used hyperbole in their post title and folks are losing their sh*t over it.
The point of the OP is that this update sucks. If folks want to discredit the OP’s opinion based on length and hours played, what you are saying is that anyone who has more play time/hours than you has a more valid opinion.
Nope.
This update sucked, again.
Things may smooth out now that the climbing bug is back, but the update sucked and anyone who spent time in Beta saw it coming.
The issue is not the hyperbole of the OP, the issue is the deliberately broken process Funcom is using.

It’s the best opinion and it’s number 1
I’m loosing weight over it.
Yes, if any game brings you frustration to the point that your life is ruined it’s best to step away exile. I am no ironic at all, my reply if fully compassionate.
I cannot “feel” this change because in age of war thralls are only populating my base, or carrying things for me, nothing else. I always build fighter, i mostly use 4 grit not to feel and i wipe the whole map alone. I don’t have stop anymore but i have flee, so i use this and problem solved.
But my understanding is that you play pvp. I cannot say, neither understand how difficult is this change for pvp.
So do whatever makes you feel better hoping to have you back, that’s the only comes to my mind right now, see you soon m8🤘

To put it frankly, hyperbole is a stupid way to give feedback. It may be an effective way to get attention, if that’s what you want.
I may not be a fan of the update either, but at least I try to formulate my feedback in a way that may, should Funcom read it, guide them in the right direction.
