What's up with the excessive greed on the game now?

So… farming other players is legit now? Been there, done did.

it’s already happening:


I know, I’ve done that during Beta, as I’ve said, the only factor carrying this game’s the MP element combined with heavy investment from players.

The game’s somewhat in shambles compared to what it could be, and it was “WOLOLO-ed” into a hybrid of Korean / Chinese MMO with western business model / style. If that wasn’t the case (the change in business model) I’d probably be playing again very actively despite it’s flaws - but since it’s a combo of $ hunger, that makes it repulsive to me, much harder to get back into (considering the massive amount of $ required to unlock a significant amount of game content) and the investment’s also not very justifiable, specially Siptah considering most don’t like the map and it has no options to use it as an expansion to the Exiled Lands.

I stayed generalities, how does that work? I’ve stayed in a general room?

most games of the genre end up the same in that regard. The only thing CE has different from stuff like Ark are a few gimmicks (mostly animated combat focused on melee), setting, and the most important - “questing”. But instead of doubling down on the questing, Funcom went lazy mode and switched the entire development into pure cosmetic pumping (during Beta, mind you), than they’ve doubled down on it by adding caveat “p2w” elements to the “cosmetics only” promise they had made… The extra “content” added later down the pipe (horses / purges / sorcery) were all under-way because those were supposed to be in the game during Beta, so probably every single “new” thing they added was already half-way done, just impossible to make it work properly before their respective “live test” releases.
The few hours I’ve played the game recently I’ve noticed persistent bugs from Beta are still present, it has improved in general compared to the official release, but some of those remaining bugs are not very noice to handle when they happen, sometimes requiring full wipe / reset.

Said, apologies

My gut feeling is the assemblies with the fix were implemented. Then, it appeared like the Beta version overrode production (implicitly removing what was implemented). Merges can be mind bending at times.

So we have a date, for the next release. :relieved:

Dune release is coming ever closer, so Tencent overlords decided to milk this game for what it’s worth before the new shiny thing comes out, and they put this one on maintenance mode.

yeah, that company’s a rabid malignous cancer… Until we root it out from gaming we’ll keep watching fine developers turn into little disposable monsters…

Keeping away from SK and CH devs, and for Western EA and Ubi was easy, now that 10cents has creeped into other western devs things are worse than ever.
I still hope MS imposes a change, albeit without Gates I doubt that’s going to happen, fact’s that MS has also turned into a little monster after his “retirement”…
