But this is exactly what people in the forum are doing.
They basically blame AGS/Smilegate for listing to QA and not just simply releasing the update.
Or to use the restaurant example:
waiter tells customer “food will be there in 5min” > waiter goes back to the kitchen
waiter finds shit on the plate that he was supposed to bring to the customer
waiter goes back to the customer and says “sorry, something was wrong with your food, unfortunately you have to wait a bit longer. As I’m no chef, I can’t tell you exactly how long it’ll take, but we’ll have something ready for you asap”
customer says “I’m so hungry and basically dying here and there is nothing else to eat on the whole planet, bring me my food now you…” > starts cursing about the bad waiter
(yes waiter = CM and QA at the same in this example)
So in this case, what the customer wanted, was salad, steak and shit on the plate, so that he can complain about the shit and then blame the waiter and the chef and the restaurant. Because this is the only thing the customers wants. He didn’t want to eat in the first place…
Releasing the game straight up converted would be a bad idea. It creates a huge gap in progression where players are going to feel like their being taken advantage of by the systems in place because, well, most gamers aren’t patient.
Coding doesn’t always go like you expect but I’m purposefully vague if I just don’t have a date I can give. I’ll be like next week. In a day or two. Then sometimes I’ll see a crippling problem drop everything and fix it which turns out to be a simple thing and get praised. It’s silly.
One thing I would have done for sure without a second thought is releasing all the classes.
Gamers like making builds. It’s a huge part of how I develop add-ons, mods and other things to games. They want to feel like their decisions matter in a game and there’s tons of ways to play that game. Keeps people playing and coming back all the time. Since Lost Ark has pretty much no build versatility. Class options are obvious choice. Big mistake to hold those IMO.
Skin are up for debate. I can see both monetization and the fashion side of things. One thing I do know is if a F2P game has a good enough fashion scene they don’t need to resort to other forms of monetization ie. Path of Exile.
So despite they saying they don’t develop anything they did actually and passed the build for inspection to SG.
So, literally, AGS has an old frame of the game and purchased packages/modules to release us this poor version. The build are ready for years now guys!!!
I suggest them for a next time to discuss their post to not to let the player find out they are lying.
Usually, I’m always very cooperative and appreciate almost all their efforts. But now, I’m super annoyed!!!
I don’t want to waste so much energy, they’re annoying like a lazy kid in a school who never gonna do anything the right way but seeks attention, understanding, and wants their head to be caressed.
I can’t follow your conclusions here. When Roxx said that the build passed inspection it is not related to anything AGS did. The inspection of a build is most likely being done by Smilegate.
You would think with all the experts present in this forum its a wonder there are ever any problems with any product releases. Your talents should definitely be put to use.
They can’t and won’t. The vocal minority are a bunch of whining children who were raised wrong. They’re so emotionally immature that they can’t handle being delivered news that they don’t like, and they believe that they’re entitled to whatever it is they demand without regard for reality. Honestly I’ve never experienced such a horrific community and I was in WoW beta and stayed through BoA before giving it up.
