Sorry but this may not have been a funcom project, but it still got funcomed.
This really should have been on the beta servers for a month before going live, but then with close to 2K hours on them; and no bug report I made prevented bugs from going live. Not sure it would have done any good, but it might have if the beta servers were used proper.
Right now I’m trying to get on early in the AM. It’s the only time the game is fun. As more people log in to the server the more jank it gets, but that has always been an issue with the live servers. The game simply will not load. I mean the server wont load, I get to one of the Conan quote and a % hearing the limanets of woman 4%, and just sets there.
Game really needed to cook another month, but us old war horses know how funcom works. Pushing out updates before they are ready is SOP. And we have discussed how funcom wastes the beta servers. I’m still pushing for them to use them proper, old dev, new trick.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a sumptuous update, runs well enough on my brick except for stutters, and I think the lighting is sort of crap. But it did get me back in to the game, at least in the AM when I can actually log in.
The point? Trying to encourage funcom to bring back the beta servers and use them proper to avoid these sort of issues in updates.
