And optimization is huge issue. do you know that people have reported fps drops and ping issues since 1st beta? we're talking about almost 6 months here, and not 1-2 weeks to say they don't have time for fix. do you know what's worse? even before beta was released they knew that game suffers from poor optimization and all versions have an optimization patch. since they already know that, our version should already have such patch. 6 months from beta and no optimization patch. even when lowering my settings to low and ctrl-F, fps refuse to go up. it's preposterous to go from 70-80 fps on ultra(only shadows are on 4/5) to 20ish fps with stutters every few seconds on low settings+ctrl-F. i play Black Desert on high settings at 50ish fps, and game is stable even with R4PG BNS Gold Store. not to mention that game guard crap. it's malware that causes tons of problems in the game, it doesn't prevent hackers and bots, and they don't remove it. it's like police know you're a murderer but they don't arrest you
Because sitting quiet while NCSoft reams us from behind ensures nothing will ever get fixed. Visibility is important, and consistently putting real issues into the light promotes the chance they will get fixed. Yes some complaints are silly and unfounded like the P2W and Grindfest ones. But there's some real serious complaints in there as well. Gameguard being a disaster of a program that solves nothing and punishes players, Faction balance is a complete joke (And not something I ever expect to see fixed, they tried for 5 years in Aion and never got it right), The very poor lack of communication with the players, The integrity of the PvP arena is utterly gutted with bots, Platinum is Silver at this point, the game Optimization is a complete whiff, this whole recent thing with 2 step authentication and stealing accounts which isn;t the games fault but is seriously something NCsoft needs to fix.
BnS has the potential to be good, it's there, other regions are fantastic. But this NA version is a complete crapshoot compared to the JP version.
being labelled whiteknight on these terms only shows the process of thinking of ppl here on the forum. ur points r imo valid and i totally agree with them (especially the cowboy part). yes ncsoft is a large company with several active mmo yet u still get some individuals who claim to know better and (which imo is worse) infect their way of thinking onto others. It is like this ncsoft security thread where all forms of baaad baaad things r to blame and obviously NC! In all honesty as much as i enjoyed reading this thread im sure most ppl choose to ignore it. ignorance is bliss. I am a senior dev. i work with customers daily. their wishes desires what they want improved etc and in a safe way i can come to the conclusion that the consumer is in the eyes of the developer always bns gold farmer. that is fact. solutions nowdays have to be made idiot proof. But still the saaaaame cycle continues. planning, developing, implementing and its always the same same thing! a consumer HARDLY EVER complains in the planning stage but after implementation they come up with ideas and how things could be better. its just human. It is annoying but i just ignore it for the most part. The ppl that know will understand while the rest will just think "huh? what r u talking about?"
