Hello,
So, I have played for over 1000 hours and that is not as high as most. Still, enough to know a good bit about the game.
Negatives vs old
UI is worse. It looks unfinished where the other was not that bad it looked finished and sized correctly
Building from storage. Probably causing issues, but we have a huge ish base so the range is limiting.
Sand looks plastic both wet or dry. Like i have terrain details set to low IE no show grass
Living Settlements, does not work unless you build your base for that very feature. I have no idea where some of the 96 thralls we have are.
Lag spikes, dont even want to go out in the world to even find out how bad the thralls fight from what I have heard from others it is not good.
Galaman’s Tomb is filled with sand no longer rock pavement and water.
Lighting does not work past the block they are attached to anymore
Loss of Obelisk attunements, Favorite listings
Graphics look plastic in places; shadows make certain areas way too dark even with lights.
High ping preventing play
Solutions remove living settlements build from storage. EXTREME Solution Roll back to ue4
Positive vs old
Graphics are stunning in places. The shadows really pop in the right locations. Amazing visuals.
In conclusion
Graphics are great but over shadowed with the state of the game being unplayable. You have up until this point has done more harm to your bottom line than you have gained. If I had just picked up this game I would be asking Steam for a refund due to general unplayability.
Since I am not and a long-time gamer I will wait and hope you fix the issues before I lose my bases DUE to the inability to log on.
