I agree with Narelle but I can understand the frustration. I have been waiting patch after patch ever since they introduced followers for Funcom to fix the glaring issues that are in the game. I had a long discussion with Codemage about it on another thread and I do understand the argument he made and I don’t doubt that that’s alot of what is happening with Funcoms development team. I also know that I have played all the Funcom games starting with anarchy online as I referenced in a different thread. They are all the same…they start out great with great promise and then slowly “get fixed until they are broke”. That is on Funcom…other games of the same type built on the same engine average around 50k players at any time.(not hard numbers, don’t bite my head off) That is all on Funcom, it is often said that they aren’t a AAA studio and they only have a few people but that is only because they are horrible with mapping things out in a clear logical way and sticking with it. That is why they went bankrupt and ultimately had to make this to pull them out. The failure of age of conan and others is the reason and they failed for the same reason as this game is tanking…random changes for no reason and fixes for things that aren’t broken and new systems that were not needed and poorly implemented. It would be nice if Funcom would step back…take a breath and fix the most glaring issues before they do anything else. Thralls are the perfect example of that. They were created and put in the game as a necessary core part of the game. That alone says that they should work as good as possible not be just another part that will be fixed “in the next patch”. How would it work if the thirst system was like followers? Sometimes you can drink, sometimes you cant or sometimes a water skin provides food and a roasted haunch satisfies your thirst? I realize that it wouldn’t be an easy job to untangle this mess but I for one and I am sure others would be more than happy to wait for that. As it is now Funcom, Funcom patches and Funcom bugs have become just another meme for lolz.
With that being said I will go back to waiting for “the next patch” and hope for the best.
