Hopefully, like me, you have learned to just keep your money on future releases rather than be dissapointed once you fall in love with a game. Everything I've said on this forums has largely been ignored as expected, I am but one person in the sea of a million crys.
It is just too evident to me that this will be a forward progression of things to come. When I hear things like "I know im the minority on this, [but im going to do it anyway]" I realize the things that people say are just that, words. This company hasn't come through on what it's promised its customers, and thats why they've lost all of my friends and I future support.
I really, really don't want to ragequit this game. I'm trying so very hard not to, because at times it really is fun. But you are right, GPG is not helping me in that respect at all. Two of the teammates that I started playing this game with have already stopped playing. It seems only a matter of time until I follow suit.
Same boat here.
Last night me and my m8 were playing, games not filling, and I began to talk with him about the forum stuff (I'm more addicted, read everything and all, he doesn’t). Than he tells me, "well, I will do something else than, and tell Gersa (A friend we invited to the game, and would buy the game this week with another friend of his) to not buy right now."
I'm still here, but just waiting for the next patch, that’s what looks like at least.
The problem that me and my m8 find with this game. (just for reference, we think ourselves as pro players)
Well, yes, bugs r annoying, but not the main issue. Big issue is an item that completely brings unpleasant game play experience e.g. Horn of Battle, and its there for some time not being fixed, put a aura the size as the first lvl batswarm, that would solve the problem.
Pathfiding is hell annoying, but I think that’s hard to fix, but it has to be fixed.
Now, the real issue, and other have pointing out already. Without competitive scene the game will die.
I really don't understand why a great number of players on this game doesn’t have friends they play often enough to be called a premade. I honestly don't understand.
Ppl are asking for the game to be like this (Scenario 1):
John Doe gets home from work, gets a beer, seat at his computer, plays a game with a bunch of strangers, win or lose, no1 talks nothing during the game (because there is no pro do say "hey thats wrong, try this instead), and repeat this everyday.
Ppl are asking for the game NOT to be like this (scenario 2):
John Doe gets home from work, gets a beer, seat at his computer, open his friend list, finds out that there r 3 of his friends online. Than he sands a msg with his IP address and get them on vent, play the game, talk about the day, talk about woman’s, tell how bad the economy is and all, relax, win or lose and go to bed.
Scenario number 2 is something WRONG, by the community standards of this game, off course they r a premade, they will get better by each night, and they will be friends. They will like to play with each other. And one day one of them will say "hey, we r rank 500, lets bring our game faces on, think some builds, would be cool to be top-100". Whats wrong with scenario number 2? I really don't know, really don't. Some1 with no friends on this game, please explain it to me in a simple manner why scenario number 1 is better than number 2.
Scenario 1 will hold its ground until John Doe without friends finds a new game to play that looks fun, more than DG. He wont have friends to hold him with DG, and he is gone, wont look back to DG.
Scenario 2 will hold Mr. Doe for quite some time, he will have friends playing this game that will say “awww man, don’t go, the game is this and that, we r good together and all…”, he will, as well, want to improve in the ladder. But the game has to offer this possibility for him.
Now, next patch looks like this:
Ppl with friends on this game, well, #$%¨&* you, go play with strangers if u want rank. This game is for casual players ONLY, not only that, casual and strangers players only (Scenario 1).
That’s no good at all.
What we suggest as improvement you (frogboy), said its not a possibility. Team Matchmaking, and that would improve the game, and the community alike.
I really don’t know why scenario 1 is better than 2, some1, really, explain to me.
Sorry for my English, I’m a Brazilian that has to wait 20mins for a game because my ping is 280. And I still play this game, still…
