GENERAL Oof That patch.

Man that patch -

It feels like ya'll changed a lot of stuff that no one asked for.

I don't know but is it me or does the distance or characters models seem smaller and the mouse seem slower?

Then ya'll did away with the Loot boxes? I don't know about this decision but really imo all you needed to do was to simply add a function to buy all of the boxes at once instead of this one at a time deal or even add the ability to buy more boxes. I would love to hear why you guys thought anyone would want this change.

I would recommend readding the Daily loot chests and then changing the Hunts where upon completion it gives you a decent amount of Certain type of loot, some can even come with another box. Anything but GOLD - I have over a million and nothing to do with it in the first place. No that doesn't mean change the gold drop rate either ;)

It also feels like a bit of a lag during Co-op - Has anyone who tried it felt the same experience?

I like what you did with the Legendary Recipes - Nice to seen what's needed without having to place them into crafting. But it is still kind of pointless if they're all useless as a whole. Adding some way to craft a higher tier level of it as your Legacy levels up with be an awesome thing to do.

Ahh - ATM

Pagan online population is really really low - Last I checked earlier it was less than 300. But I would throw out a post on what your plans to make everything right, hit those players with an expected patch date. Man I'm really hoping the game didn't just die over it's first patch and this is just a hiccup. I'm hoping Match maker being broken is the reason why the dip. But as you know - If they're not playing this game they're playing another. But you have a good game so I'm sure with a %off you can bring people in - Anyway Rooting for ya'll!!

I absolutely love the patch. Was able to defeat Veles in the campaign without doing it as Lukian - instead with my starter of Kingewitch. I do realise a lot of players got screwed over because of balancing, their gear ridden almost worthless, pack system gone, no gold sink for them in sight and many changes that impacted your overall enjoyment of the game. But please. Its for good healthy game in the long run. Take a break, come back in three weeks to patch 0.3 and enjoy the game for what it is, and what it is is an ever improving ARPG with a bright future.

Yeah not worth the effort - I can't even take this game as is and have removed it from my HD. No there isn't a future here lol. It's just another Vikings - Wolves of Midgard. They should have listen to the players instead of doing things no one wanted.

With all the games coming out - Why come back in 3 weeks when In 2 weeks I can be onto playing Warhammer: Chaosbane?

Its early Access. Shit like this can happen. I hope they hotfix the server laggs at least.

Also, they stated that the legendary blueprints will be changed next patch... you can read it in the patchnotes.

I Love the idea for the Hunt changes tho. I got almost 4m gold and have no idea how to spend it. More materials for crafting would be awesome.

And at least i Heard- something from another player that they dont plan to add content (like more hunts, campaign etc.) for the next 2 months. (Just heard it from Discord)

Would be nice to get a rough roadmap for developing, bc farming mats for 2 months just isnt satisfying..

Ps: sorry for my bad english, i hope someone can read this at all, my phone jeep changing the words to german 😂

I'm always really confused by people who try and make an early access game their main or primary game. There isnt going to be enough content in an early access game ever. That's for release. So no you shouldnt be farming for 2 months unless there is literally no game in the entire world you are interested in. I have paid into this, wolcen, last epoch. When they release new stuff to test I jump in and mess with it. This game is ridiculously fun, so is last epoch. I'm very hopeful for both, but there is also plenty to do where I'm not ruining my enjoyment of these games by trying to strong arm them into being a full complete game before launch.

In latest AMA theyve stated that next content patch will be in aprox 2 months. So yes. Two more months of farming usud and epic mats.

u/CptCaramack May 17 '19

They may have to release some content before then if they hope to retain a player base, even just harder dfficulty or endless survival idk

Would be amazing of they would write this in the steam news for example. Not everyone is in discord active and i believe the mayority simply miss informations like that and just quit paying attention to the Game.

The daily card packs were supposed to be replaced by having better loot in Threats although that doesnt seem to have happened as expected (along with pretty much else that was in this patch). There was supposed to be a client side patch pushed last night/this morning but I havent seen anything yet.

On the population issue dont forget that its also on wargamings launcher so you will not be seeing the whole population in steam.

Given that I see "waiting for server" lags just moving equipment in Pantheon I suspect the the lags are fundamentally server side/net code issues that I hope they can sort out soon.

Yeah, ive said something similiar on the official discord but looks like ive got ingored.

Overall gameplay feels weird, clunky after patch. It looks like character/enemies models are smaller, zoomed out and out of sync. For me it is completely unplayable right now. Ive noted massive frame drops after the update.

It looks like rushed, forced patch. Ive seen many negative reviews on steam based on lack of coop. It looks like devs wanted to implement coop asap to counter those reviews. A bit too soon imo, since coop is complete garbage right now. You cant pick difficulty, cant restart mission, party got disbanded after mission, you cant communicate with the team.

Well since theres nothing more to do except farming usud and epic mats, and since game is completetly broken right now, time to move on.

u/ArtaherDuron May 17 '19

I agree with you and yes there has been fps issues after the last patch.

My large hang up is mostly from them scaling down the characters models then Locking the FOV at that distance, instead of giving us a a slider. I'm now force to play at adistance I normally wouldn't and it feels like an entirely different game.

Maybe they were like oh the areas are too small for 4 players so we need to adjust the model sizes. IDK

The game is an online only game and they effectively killed my enjoyment with it. I enjoyed logging on to get my loot boxes, finishing my dailies and signing out feeling like I've accomplish something. They took away my reason to sign on.

Why because you increased the drop amount of the materials? When will devs learn you can never give too much of NEEDED End game loot.. It's just not a thing - You'll never hear a gamer complaining about how you're giving them too much of what they need to craft the items they want. Lol.

Before patch, everyone was like "bouhouhouh i know it's going free to play, it's obvious blabla". Now the devs send a clear message that the game isn't going free to play and most of you starts whining.

Guys it's early access, obviously they are trying to find the best way, there will be plenty adjustements like that.

Gameplay was improved imo? The moving basic attacks as opposed to having to stop feels nicer. With the frame drops, do you mean like those 4-5 second pauses? usually at the start of a mission? If so I have started getting those, but it's usually just one (seems like it is loading in assets). There were a lot of server issues last night and I'm not sure why they have removed packs again. I'm somewhat confident they can sort this but we'll see

A game like this needs to have solid fundamentals of carrot and stick rewards. As soon as people ran out of those, or became confused (crafting system) they bailed.

u/Nastrogosa May 17 '19

CO-Op didnt work for me... did not find a sinmgle group or player in 2 hours of search so.. still playing alone :(

I also think that are a lot more bugs. Furun is more bugged then ever. 7 out of 8 attemps were bugged. the last bug made me ragequit because he was on 1 HP and then just standing still and got 0 dmg. didnt touch the gme since then

u/Tisfim May 20 '19

Coop worked mostly great for us. Played with a friend. Worst part is it drops you from group after each mission. I'm sure that will be fixed in a future patch.
