Update 26 - Discovered Issues Thread

[Elmagor]

Hello everyone,

I don't do really ever this, replying to threads. But now is the last drop. Even if I wanted to play this game I couldn't. NPCs refusing to show up for both the Epic and the new regional quest arc (Léothred in Avabarg, Reithvald in Erebor), so I cannot pursue either (and don't tell me it's my computer or my internet connection). This is so badly put out, so badly designed I'm not even sure the people who find it appealing have their eyes open. It's just a rehash of whatever tripe we've been fed before, of which the reuse of icons isn't even the worst part. Then what with so many issues reported during the beta and SSG not even acknowledging them, none of these should be surprising (on that note: why not spend a few more weeks polishing things up, in an unstressed atmosphere rather than rush yet another patch in a few days while stressing out your team?). Then again, I shouldn't facepalm every other minute at the blatant inefficiency of the SSG team, with their imbecility crowned in the Moors. Their idea of rebalancing is not even laughable because it is actually harmful to the current raid and instances on higher tiers. Their trying to reduce the lag is laudable, but failed completely. Last but more cherished in my eyes is regarding the lore. SSG has done such a botched job at this that I need to -- not "have to" -- leave. Frumgar, Marhwine as Rohirric names? Really? Then you speak to this Frumgar because you want to learn more about Rohirric history and it says only "I am honoured to meet you." (Not to mention the fact that as the clickable "place of history" didn't appear I had to relog, quite the immersion-breaker). This has to be a belated April Fool's joke, right?

This game hasn't aged well, that's a fact. But what you're doing right now, SSG, is actually straining the lore, and the patience of your players, to such extremities as to be damageable to teh entire community. We came for the lore, for the movies, for the MMO aspect of the game. Whichever it is, you failed miserably to satisfy many of us, even moderately, because your greed knows no bounds, and you wanted to milk the cow to the very last drop.

Good luck to everyone sticking around, and I do hope the game remains for those with lower standards or who choose to turn a blind eye... To those staying: I admire your pugnacity if you do, or pity your stubbornness in equal measure.

P.S. All 3 dwarf "heroes" in New Erebor working fine yesterday
