I've been playing EU for more than a year, and the game hasn't stopped to amaze me with all its bugs and technical problems. I mean, they can't even make a working chat for more than 15 years. These MindArk guys are true wizards amongst all ham-handed developers.

Hm, help me! How is this possible? You play since 1 year, and tell us the chat is not working since 15 years. :eyecrazy:

I think he's probably stating the fact that chat, which is the most general thing an MMO has, often gets broken after new VU, etc.

I can understand the frustration. It's not only chat, but almost every part of the game can be improved (system, interface, etc.) so that it can look like modern MMOs. Maybe RCE is both a blessing and a curse that can happen to an MMO

I think he means MindArk has had 15 years to do develop a proper chat, and still we face very basic bugs and problems in 2019. The chat is just an example, this game has more bugs than features.

I agree, it never ceases to amaze me how amateur they are.

Welcome to the club :ahh:
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fanboy :) I develope games by my own, and some times i also think how noobish things happen from the dev. site.

Just was wondering about the years, the op told. :)

This is what you get when your dev team is in Ukraine/Belarus. They have pretty much zero devs/testers at office, everyone is manager of something, but no real devs.

It's online alive because we have ~100 hardcore casino addicts at any time who throw all their money into amps, EP etc.
 
The chat works great. Whats the problem?
 
How do I know we are not in a simulations? No bugs in RL. If it is programmed there are always bugs. And just the question, can you live with them or not?

What really bugs me is that people have been going out of their way often for years now to make something work that isn't really in good shape. It could be issues with shops - quite a few issues - or keeping society or MS chat channels running (and needing to update every single time MA pushes the tiniest of patches out).

After weeks of not being able to logon via Vista computer due to redist trying and failing via client loader every time for some reason, I finally got it to work by copying the current main files from one comp to the other via USB stick + my journey.

How long was it working for? Less than 1 effing hour!!! because MA stuck in a patch to try and fix their event fail (as usual), so the copied version was no longer the most current and Vista wanted fresh files again and tried and failed on the redist update!

Not only have MA been completely useless at fixing things, or providing forum help apart from mentioning the problem, they even mess up hard-found workarounds with their update here, patch there, all the sodding time. My next attempt would be on Monday, but will there be a patch or something on Tuesday to get the snafu back? - most probably.

Please stop pissing on us players. No product can survive longer term if it becomes more and more shoddy.
Yes, there is still reasonable turnover, and I have some CLDs, AUDs and CP deeds, but the trend on the functionality side is negative, even if turnovers are stable for now.

If MA is reading this and is in any way unhappy that some growing number of players are unhappy and writing more and more strongly in forums, then that is at least some sign of caring. Thus a suggestion: please keep a folder of files updated for download on the MA site (not necessarily the planet data, just the basics), so that when update problems occur, the more techy people at least have a chance at an alternative to the client loader!

Alternatively.... fix the redist problem, chats, shops etc etc in a timely manner, ty!
 
almost makes you want to go back to the old MUD days, doesn't it?
 
i would really love for Mindark-Official's to chime in on this topic and maybe give a better than copy paste response or even explanation why over the course of 15 years they can never get it right. prime example iis Mayhem , every year they always have issues

Or maybe tbh , they just dont give AF
 
About chat, for history and FYI! When I decided to stay and be active member of this game there was a excellent chat system in place ;/

Do you remember it? MA DEV'S???? HALLO?????
 
I think were all looking at this the wrong way.. Were missing the BIG picture guys... EU is actually technologically advanced space aged sht!! A technological marvel! Its not behind other MMO's, its super advanced way ahead of the others!! This is the direction MMO's are headed down the road! Be lucky to be a part of it! =p

Sarcasm much? :) For anyone without a soc there was hardly any interaction before they created the global chat system back in 2014. As a freelancer, these days I probably socialize as much in a day on these channels as I did in a year before them.

No sarcasm! Fact! This system had no bugs as far I remember. Yes maybe there was luck of public chat. But that made Twin Peaks - Quarry - Club ND etc to be popular and have so much fun to be there and sosialize! Remember that dear friend?

The thread is starting to drift to differences in functionality, instead of MA's ineptitude. We do have a lot more functionality and differentiation now than then, but when things don't work properly, we now have a myriad of things which are screwed instead of a handful of basic functions which work.

Back in the day there was a challenge even to getting all of the tps, so you could meet up with friends wherever quickly, plus maybe the use of a tp chip to hop to whatever mob area. People complained about bugs then too, but that was all too often ctds it seemed, which have now all but stopped afaict and may have been down to the OS as well... What we have now is pretty clearly on MAs plate when stuff like events are so royally poorly implemented.

selling hope@boxes, 101%mu...
 
While we of course welcome constructive criticism and feedback on this forum, it is quite clear that the only purpose of this thread is negativity. I am therefore closing it for violating rule 2.9 - Excessive Complaining.
