You seriously spent all these man-hours and paying staff members to release an old game that was essentially dead, but you were too lazy or stupid, actually, to go into the code and fix the bugs. You literally brought an entire studio down with your incompetence. Good job, Funcom. I REALLY hope Tencent looks at the lukewarm reaction to this release and all the hate you are getting and fires whoever is in charge at Funcom. The entire time Inflexion was doing all your work for you, it never once dawned on your CEO or studio lead to send your developers into the broken code in combat and stuttering, etc., and fix it once and for all. You are so lazy, you didn’t even fix the one bug with shields that has plagued this game for years, having it raised and still being hit right through it on normal attacks. I won’t draw this out any longer, explaining all the others. It’s just one example.
Like, seriously, someone in charge really needs to lose their job because you are bankrupting your company, period. I’ve uninstalled and unlisted this garbage and all your products moving forward because, honestly, you don’t deserve the money these loyal fans give you.
I understand your frustration, the big thing for me is the specialty and themed storage chests not closing after you use them so you manually have to do it, and my thralls still sinking in foundations when i log on. However, this update regardless of the feedback has breathed new life into the game, the player count has almost tripled, my official server i play on rarely drops below 20+ players now and just a few weeks before, it average 4-7 at a time. Dune players that never played Conan bought the game, many exiles returned. Youtubers and Twitch streamers are checking it out and giving it more exposure, very many people that didnt have the Siptah map purchaced it because of the map merger (im one of them) I know you think its a failure, but it really isnt. They 100% pulled it off, it is a successful relaunch.
And this would be the obvious reason I was speaking of.
they well and truly polished a turd
In the interest of being open, and honest in my emoji response, I fully empathise with your issue.
I left the ‘open mouth’ emoji as you quite literally took the words out of, not just mine but, potentially 1000’s of other players. I know it is little help, but you are not alone.
Try and stay positive.
