Things I hate about patch 1 (a non serious look)
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2004 7:29 pm
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.
