Amid everything else  

Posted by SpearDriver in , ,

Ok, I think it's safe to say by now that Acclaim has lost the plot. People are off doing whatever they want to do in the game, rather than what they should be doing, which is fixing the various problems.

Almost every single patch recently has brought a new set of bugs with it, and the most recent one, patch 109 has been the worst. Large numbers of players simply can't stay in the game for more than a few minutes. The GameGuard update a couple of days ago helps to the point where people can stay in-game for a short time, then the disconnections start again. Patch 109 also brought a never-seen before boss bug. Any boss that has more than one form cannot be killed because after it changes form, you miss on every attack.

So much for dungeon epithet runs for a while.

Over on Asura the players are really upset. That server has had 2 rollbacks in just a couple of days. I would be furious. Levels are gone, coin mall items are gone, refining success are gone and they'll have to risk it all again. It's a nightmare.

Now to top all that off, Warda is running a collection quest event this week.

Remember what I said about,"People are off doing whatever they want to do in the game, rather than what they should be doing, which is fixing the various problems."

This shows it pretty clearly. I could not imagine being an Asura player right now. Some of these people were grinding for collection event items, and lost them in the rollbacks. Warda can't seriously think those people are going out collecting for a third time?

I'm not getting involved in this week's collection event either, mostly because I'm one of the people who can't stay in the game for more than a couple of minutes. I have a fair bit of the stuff on this first list too. If you want to get involved and donate material you can find the public google document right here. The GM/VGM's are also posting when they are in each server, on that spreadsheet.

Let them donate. I know a squirrel who's not wasting anymore time collecting freaking low drop rate drops. I can live without one set of CC keys.

I am not having DC problems as well. I had to delete game guard folder once and after that it works just fine. :)

I've stated my case on the Restless blog already. I gave what was in my bags and won't move a finger more. I can't play the events on my alt because of bugs, I am tired of how both Acclaim and the players behave during boosted xp and I'm on a sort of event strike ever since the mess-up with the Mystery solving contest. I have next to no motivation.

I have to feel really sorry for Arashi. She should have a set of 600 defense clothes from that mystery event.

Warda really screwed a lot of people with that one.

I brushes the step2 aside as a 50%-50% chance question. I'm fine with that, Tears used to do that too in Dogs of Lore. But if it's stated I should get Wan Daye's Lotus Jacket, I expect a 500 def set, not a 400 def set that looks like the 500 one. Especially since other people with the same number of right answers got the 500 one. :(

gee, i wonder why bardo did not finish the first collection...

and no, it's not because of the hoes or shovels, and i doubt that the dc bug is the main one to blame...

Warda does realize it probably wasn't the best timing to do a collection event.
List 1 was not completed on each of the 3 servers.
Knowing the cause(DCs & Rollbacks)
She said if both lists combined get close to 100% complete it might still be 5x.

Today i noticed 1st list is set as completed on each server, because at below 50% Bardo and nirvana servers already got 3X for 4hours.
While asura as 2x for 4hours(they did not bother with the 1st list, but who can blame them).

Fugen is on a holiday or something, or whatever.
But the organization is missing at acclaim, its pure chaos right now.
And the worse of all, some VGMs and even GMs act a bit snobish atm.
Yesterday on Nirvana Kami & Hawk were messing around in BP while people were roaring to come get collected items.
Fugen was there also i think.
No idea what they were doing, either having some fun or testing something.

End of this game is pretty close. I'm sure you'll see soon what I mean. (Acclaim 'soon': up to 6 months)

I still fell bad for the ones that still believe that Tibet will come out this month.... knowing acclaim they will use Tibet in their promotions until the players get bored....


And the latest promotion is a total "retarded" anti nuker xp XP card pack lol talismans with 130ck dodge ... in game 110ck dodge

I haven't been getting DC but lagging a lot :( I also did the same thing eric did.. deleted the GG folder and re downloaded. But The idea of "anti nuker" pack is sad, it will only create more swearing noobs in BP.
