unplayable now? gear,buggs,balance?

[BloodsunEV]

Whats going on guys? All of a sudden everyone is running around with Sovereign gear ,literaly geting 2 shoted in stun unable to get a single cast off. Why release end game gear after 4 year progression from annahilator to "custom made" vanquisher , so much about balance lol ? I dont see any significant game content update except City sidge, which is basicly just another scenario ,pretty underwhelming.Yeah i see patch notes ,all the quests(witch no one cares about),all balancing stuff(witch is actually futrther debalancing game but i wont go into that now its a large toppic and i dont really care ). Im more "worried" about game beeing unplayable when i log once in aeges to play the scenario, witch by the way all of a sudden has 20+ min que and when i ask people is it even working they just reply que premade noob ,LOL,no i dont want to que premade guys want to que solo like the button says "QUE SOLO" and like it used to work, anyway onto client, still buggy, barely working on Windows,even worse on Linux, always takes like 2/3 attempts to get running,game is still laggy, 3 sec freezes all the time, yeah i have 64 bit client removed all addons trash files, still same in large fights(no it was not like that on Live dont tell me its Mythic client bs ive been playing for many years never had a single problem) Getting client and game buggs fixed should be priority ,then implementing new content and gear, and in the end balancing ,not the other way around. Ofc clueless people will say now " be happy that your playing for free get him banned get rekt noob " ,yeah yeah, id gladly pay for programer to get all the stuff fixed and implemented,so would other people too , anyway git good

Oh hello EA!

I understand it hurts when people are wasting time and not money by you.You didn't get it with a staff of cool developers, a budget, and an office with soda. My last pre-order of your AAA title, such a cool franchise, so much hope. I even poached 10 people from the old game. In the end, it all failed miserably after 5 or 6 months. Free to play, shop and all the delights of the asian grind for 4 tiny arenas. Moreover, I had to pay twice for one and the same, despite my prefered status. How can you s..t like that out of the blue?

People are wild.

People are wild.

Well, how else. People have excessively high expectations.

Not sure if just trolling, but I thought I'd break it down and add my two cents:

A lot of people have more time to play so they are progressing in gear. Nothing really magical about that.

literaly geting 2 shoted in stun unable to get a single cast off.

This might be lag or other things. Might need to adapt to balance changes. Weird stuff happens sometimes and you kind just have to accept that. Someone may feel they are getting 1-shot by you as well.

Why release end game gear after 4 year progression from annahilator to "custom made" vanquisher , so much about balance lol ?

Not sure what you mean by "custom made" vanquisher. Devs are providing a few more gearing options to keep the progression going. As far as content goes, it's a volunteer group of devs who are doing this out of a labor of love, so I think you have to temper your expectations. They are providing weekly updates and making progress, all for free to all of us. I don't think you should expect them to create net new content. They are slowly adding in stuff that was there before with their own twists and balance changes.

Im more "worried" about game beeing unplayable when i log once in aeges to play the scenario, witch by the way all of a sudden has 20+ min que and when i ask people is it even working they just reply que premade noob ,LOL,no i dont want to que premade guys want to que solo like the button says "QUE SOLO" and like it used to work,

The population, while healthy, isn't super huge so you have to expect some queues. People are doing RvR, Scenarios, Dungeons, PvE, etc so scenarios on demand may be a bit much to ask given the pop.

anyway onto client, still buggy, barely working on Windows,even worse on Linux, always takes like 2/3 attempts to get running,game is still laggy, 3 sec freezes all the time, yeah i have 64 bit client removed all addons trash files, still same in large fights(no it was not like that on Live dont tell me its Mythic client bs ive been playing for many years never had a single problem) Getting client and game buggs fixed should be priority ,then implementing new content and gear, and in the end balancing ,not the other way around.

I would not say the client is barely working. For the most part, it works fine for most people. The biggest issue I run into is the lag issue every 3-4 second after playing for a while or changing zones. Generally, the fix has been to do a /reload and then clear the cache and it seems to fix it for me. Very rarely I experience a crash but it does happen. So while I wish performance was better, I would say the client is OK on Windows especially considering the devs are having to reverse engineer a lot of stuff just to make it work. It's not like they have the ability to test on a massive variety of desktop configurations.

A lot of it is just trying to balance what little time they have to work on all of this... in their spare time.

Ofc clueless people will say now " be happy that your playing for free get him banned get rekt noob " ,yeah yeah, id gladly pay for programer to get all the stuff fixed and implemented,so would other people too , anyway git good

How does that make people "clueless?" Seems like they are just being realistic. The terms of service spell out why the devs can't do donations. They are doing a lot with very little and trying to prevent any issues from shutting the game down as well. Of course, you are free to checkout WarEMU and build your own private server, but's it's probably a lot more work than you think. Alternatively, there are other MMOs out there to play complain about.

A lot of people have more time to play due to the impacts of covid so they are progressing in gear. Nothing really magical about that.
