Thank you, this answer is much better!
But I get it… there is 2 reasons why the patch date isn’t being shared yet.
One being the reason you stated and the second being hype-marketing.
After I got timed out here for a short bit I realized one thing that we always got on previous class releases: Release trailers that were shared on Youtube and twitter which had the release date in them. So it makes sense to not share it beforehand. Not that I personally cared anyway. I was just frustrated by the initial answer. Because we got dull responses like those already multiple times in the past even though the interns at AGS know more than they already can/are allowed to share, or responses that were just dishonest.
For example the official reply we got to the shadowhunter demon form being so overly dark and foggy that you hardly can even see your character. Yeah that response we got, was an absolute joke and I am still upset by it. And I am not talking about Maselbart of what he said. Because most people here don’t even speak german and took his reply out of context. What he said about it was just a personal assumption.
Talking about this one. Hundreds of people here asked for an option to have the option to choose between the KR version of the shadowform or the one we have.
There were also hundreds of people who asked to have the art team look into this issue. Since, the actual model of the shadowhunter looks NICE. If you go to a really sunny and bright area ingame like prideholme or punika you can actually see the skin color looks very good. The actual problem with the demon form is , that it is completely coal-like blacked out by this dark fog around your character with that red lighting effect once you transform. And the higher your graphic settings are the thicker the fog gets. To a point where you can’t even see your face anymore. That is the real issue about this model and NOT ONCE have we gotten a proper reply to this.
This and other issues that players have here were often ones that just got swiped under a rug and not being dealt with. And yes, such things really upset me. And if they do then I do like to express my frustration. I like giving constructive feedback on these forums because I want the game to be better and have positive changes.
Personally I would like to have better answers on topics I care about because I deem them to be important issues:
- SH Demon Form
- an option to toggle the “Input Keyboard Limit” restricion off and on. Because I like pressing ENTER to enter dungeons and raids.
- releasing the API finally, so our community creators can finally create better tools so we, the players, can better plan out our builds or shop for ingame accessories, view and share our profiles with each other ETC.
- 3 day hold limit removal for trusted accounts aswell as the 20 item listing limit per day and the 10 second delay between purchasing items.
There was lots of valuable feedback given like gradually removing these limitations based on the standing of your account and your ingame progress. For example players with 200+ Roster level are no longer affected by these, or a 1490 ilvl+ Character on their account. - gifting feature is still disabled for players with accounts in good standings. You can have swiped over 100€-1000€ and still are not allowed to gift other players even though you should!
Fraud prevention usually does not even affect that type of playerbase. Active players that have secured accounts and play regularly should not have these restrictions. - Release cadence of content in the game since we are still years behind KR right now which is worrying. They are currently still multiple raids, and 3 entire continents ahead of us. At our current rate we can only catch up in like 2+ years to be “only behind” for 3-6 months of the KR region. We are getting the major contents too slow imo. You guys SHOULD release Elgacia early for us, aswell release Akkan earlier than planned for now. Ideal solution would be release Akkan normal only then hardmode a month or 2 after. (because it would be too harsh on ilvl requirements to release both versions of the raid at the same time IF you plan to release akkan faster). I for myself have already multiple 1560 ilvl characters now and still have to wait 1.5+ months for Brel Hardmode. 4 months gap between normal and hardmode is WAY too long. When I saw that shit on the roadmap I was really disappointed.
- Still wanting to know about the undocumented triport change on the worldmap. I asked you on your stream about it, tagged you afterwards again on the bug report forum, and one month later since I first asked there is still no reply to this issue. I do up to 30 UNA dailies every day and having this issue fixed would save me a couple seconds for each character I play every single day.
So if AGS could take the time and tackle on these topics properly it would be highly appreciated.
And to briefly touch on the item listing limit again…
^december patch notes.
Honestly. I do not even understand why the AH restrictions are in place still. Most if not close to all old bots have been wiped out and new bots based on those patchnotes CANNOT even access the AH anymore. So why are normal players still punished? Back in November when we had those massive AH issues with lag etc there were around 12k pages of T3 gems listed on the AH due to bots. Now on EU C this is down to below 500 total pages aka only 1/25th~ the amount of items listed. That alone lets me know that bots cannot use the AH anymore. So why do you keep restricting us players? Can you guys please sit down with smilegate and talk about a solution? And if you do, can you let us know that you are going to do that?
Thanks for reading.
