Things I hate about patch 1 (a non serious look)

[jivalax]

I have heard many complaints about patch one, and I realize the ryzom forums may be confusing and frustrating to read. I have chosen to summarize some of the major complaints here. (If you are unfamiliar with the word satire you may wish to grab a dictionary before you begin)

1. I can no longer use exploits. Using exploits only make the game better and now that my power maches my actual level that I worked for the game is no longer fun. I am quitting.

2. I cannot kill everything that moves, Gingos that are my level now kill me if I walk around naked and do not try to kill them. I am quitting.

3. I cannot get 9,000 xp by using a havest exploit. I used to pop multiple nodes and rip the heart out of them to end them early and get only three mats but 9,000xp. This was a reasonable way to harvest and not an exploit but a feature. Now they have nerfed harvesting by making me actually get materials when I harvest. I am quitting.

4. I cannot rez myself any longer because they found out about that exploit ... errr feature and took it away. I am quitting.

5. I cannot fight monsters that are 2-3 times my level. Since I am a fighter and not a caster I should not be affected by the nerfing of the blind. (even though it took the blind exploit for me to fight) I should still be able to kill the hardest things in the game even though I am level 70. After all, while it should take 720 hours to max anything, I have been playing almost 150 hours so I should be given special treatment and allowed to kill anything. I am quitting.

6. The magic is totally messed up now. My spells only work effectivly on creatuers about my level or less. I cannot blind, stun, or fear things even twice my power anymore. There is no way I am going to fight things that are level apropriate. I am quitting.

7. When I played D&D I was first level with a dagger and I killed a demigod! I got a billion xp for it and became a god myself. Took me less than 20 minutes to beat the game. SoR is ridiculous, I have played for days and not beaten it yet. I am quitting.

8. The devs suck. I am quitting.

9. The game sucks. I am quitting.

10. I suck and I am .... no wait. I mean this game is still in beta and I am not paying to beta test. I am leaving this piece of ____ game to go play ____.


Well there you have it. Silly when you put it like this. The game does still have some serious bugs, it has a bit more balancing to go, but it is playable, doable and fun. If I have offended anyone, too bad these are my opinions. The griping about stuff like the above offends me. There are serious issues that need to be addressed in the game, and when the devs have to wade through 1000 posts about how someone is mad because they cannot solo the root now there is less chance that the real issuses will be seen and delt with.

In the end, if you are really that upset by how the game plays, leave. I respect your right to do that, please respect my right to actually like and enjoy this game.

I am offended that the title of this thread said it was a non-serious look but then you called everyone an exploiter.

I'll be angry at Nevrax for you so you can continue to enjoy the game No sense in everyone being mad.

Pfft...and Zzeii thinks I'm mean...

Even though I agree with the overall sentiment, you yourself must admit that the combat changes went a bit too far.

Do you not expect to see some adjustment back in the direction of how things were before? They already attempted to do that with the first mini-patch. I believe they rushed it and did not get some of the numbers right.

I am confident that before the weekend is out we will be seeing a combat system that is somewhere between the old system and what we have now.

p.s. I greatly prefer the new harvest system even if I do gain exp much more slowly. I wasn't racing to get too high too early anyway.

I ceratinly did not mean to call everyone an exploiter, only those of us who fought higher level mobs using mages to blind things they had no reasonable reason to believe they could. Did you really believe you should be able to duo Ocyx at level 70? I did not. I still did it though. Did you really think harvesting for 9k was how the game was intended? Of course not, but many of us did. If these are not exploits what are they? "Grey areas of not yet addressed sub optimal overpowered stanzas to be redesigned later" Get a career in politics.

The first patch one was harsh, but I survived it fine. The rebalance mini patch made it a dream. It is fine as it is. If they make it easier fine, I will play it that way. My point is they don't have to make it easier. The game is not about bashing things at no risk and becoming a super power. That I would not play. I like the risk, I like the challenge.

Finally if you think this is serious, look at the rest of the forums where people seriously argue that they should be able to kill level 200 mobs at level 70. That is beyond serious, it is sad.

-heard outside Barkdell on the Tryker starting island: "Hey! Patch 1 made my butt look fat in these caster pants!"

Patch one made Bush win the election. I hate patch one.

Could have been worse Kerry could have gotten elected and then we'd be under ocntrol of the French both in game and in real life.

Oh my jivalax you are so right..

that was priceless. I agree so much with what you said. I know I was always being told to harvest cause I could erase my dp faster. But I didn't harvest so had to poke along doing it the hard way

I am just now gotten to lvl 70 melee took me ever since game came out. because I didn't know how to do exploits who knows?

I think it is great. So you have to work harder. It sure beats hearing people trying to irritate you cause they are bored cause everything is to easy for them so they try to get you mad. Yeah that is a fun way to play a game.

I say give it time. Gee it has only been a few days and they are trying to fix it.

course I have always gotten killed by everything anyhow so it isn't that bad.

I still think it is a awesome game.
