Let me start with this. I am loyal fan of this game, i played it even at times when armors were useless, horses just a dream and everyone was a bald guy.
But at this moment, i am so pissed out i cant hold it anymore. Any of you, developers, really tried what you gave us in beta branch? I know, beta is beta, but still. You said "expect patch in two weeks" than we had betabatch in like 4 weeks and most important, its unplayble!
For god´s sake i dont mind if you take your time and MMo will be delayed to for example christmas, but make it good!
There are several things i hate about this game and several things i hate about beta branch.
1) With beta branch, you divided community to two groups. One is playing without tabards but on more stable servers, but many of the servers are slowly dying because other players wanted to meet new skill tree and tabards. That was not a good idea.
2) Why you are working on implementing voted stuff, when game optimalization still sucks badly? Tree farms can ruin your fps completely, there is still huge amount of crashes (with beta branch its actually much worse), most servers can´t handle 64 players, so you are preparing to buy google serveroom for mmo or what? I was told LiF database is still ugly mess. Do something with it first!
3) Horses are still retarded. They tend to stuck on the hills, dust is still annoing, there is no difference between riding slowly or fast, white dust is too much visible at night, also why so much dust when its rainy or you are riding at a swamp? Stupid.
4)Tabards, finnally way to recognize your guys. Great. But why so little options? I mean there is plenty of emblems you can choose from but emblem is only visible on shileds, but on tabards most of the time you deciding if its enemy by colours not small emblem. I dont understand why there is so little colors to choose from, at mmo i think it could be a problem.
5) There are several new bugs at beta branch that can happen, worst is that some can shut down your server! Also i am not only one who things perfomance dropped for both players and servers.
At last, i would like to say i spent many hours with this game, but now i stopped playing it, because on servers with beta branch its unplayeble to me because of horrible lag and game crashes(crashed twice before i was able to saddle my horse, than crashed again on that horse and had to run across map for him), without beta i won´t play either, i want to get used to new things and most importantly, most important guilds for me moved to beta branch too.
I hope i wont be only one who prefers to hear "upcomming patch next month" but stable, better optimalized and no freakin beta thing, than waiting impantiently to try patch announced on the next week that is actually released after 3-4 weeks and only as a beta!
