The game has Jumped the Shark.
It's just really sad. And I feel insulted by what TRION is offering me anymore. I trusted them with my money and my time, and they're turning it into shtako because they can't figure out how to fix the bugs and remedy the silly gameplay decisions.
The caret over everyone's head, because we're too incompetent to play without somebody pointing out the bad guys to us.
Nerfed badguys.
Buffed weapons way out of proportion to badguys.
Too many magically good weapons. I need 14 versions of the same weapon because I'm too stupid to see passed the name and see the similaritys.
VooDoo Spikes and Stims.
Stupidassed grenade system.
Arkhunter reward chests because we have to be bought.
Say what you will, the Epic Mod Boxes in the store are for players who want to buy a better mod option then we can 'earn' the chance to get in game.
Broken chat, again.
Inventory might look pretty, but thats all we get, because it doesn't work like a database.... It works like a random collection or infinitly self-resorting stuff that we can't compare easily.
We lost grenades as general loot as an income stream because they took away the grenade diversity, and gave us a hard cap to 'hold' in inventory.
We lost grenade diversity because we were 'spending too much time in the inventory'.
We lost the ability to easily compare weapons in inventory.
We lost the ability to easily compare weapons with vendors.
PvP is still screwed.
PvP gets busyfingered, it doesn't fix PvP and jekks PvE.
PvE gets busyfingered, to fix PvP. It doesn't fix PvP and jekks PvE AND PvP.
No ability or willingness to address cheating in PvP. Come on, TRION, it's your game, be a little proactive... Do WE have to do ALL the work FOR you finding the badguys?
And then weapons buffs jekks PvP and sieges and who knows what else (TRION doesn't) gets broken....
And now they're STILL trying to bring new players in with no working chat system. So they'll run a new population of people thru who will look around, kick the tires, sniff once or twice and decide that if it looks like duck shtako, and it smells like duck shtako.... it probably is, and they wont stay long either before deciding not to come back.
There are only 300 Million some-odd people in the country. Many of them don't play these games. Trion, you're running through them at a fairly quick pace... you're going to run out of people sooner than you expect.
