28. march patch? what the fu***??? | Forums

[Jaredveteran81]

The patch they just rolled out broke more aspects of the game than it fixed. It would be nice to have bug issues resolved without a introducing more problems.

[AlphaTellurian]

I will agree there are some game breaking bugs. I have experienced a few myself.

Intermittent or out of sync audio issues. (I do not use headphones so that isn't the culprit. I experienced this in the alpha. There was no sound at all on my pc. The beta was better.
Loads of texture pop in. Not just a wall or an object. Entire areas will disappear and reappear when you move your view. Found one underground today that was real bad.
Skills not deploying or immediately going on cool down.
The Castle settlement bug.
One Delta error. But my game buddy has the DX12 issue that has caused many crashes. The DX11 option is VERY jittery.
Intermittent game freezes.
Skins not applying to the SIG, always red.
Another issue I haven't seen mentioned is Discord, which I normally use. But when running this game alongside it, you get such choppy audio it is useless, forcing us to use the in game voip.


Now, I understand how difficult and time consuming making a game of this magnitude can be but, that doesn't excuse an alpha and two betas not solving many of these issues. It makes one wonder what the entire purpose of it was for. But I would imagine constructive and useful feedback during those periods is hard to come by. I say this from a logical, reasonable point of view.

Now the gamer in me is not as patient. I loved the first Division despite it growing pains. And I am truly enjoying this one (for the most part). But it is extremely frustrating as a gamer to buy a product that isn't actually finished. We don't want to be your quality control. We don't want to be your game testers.

Here's an idea. Give everyone that participated in the beta a discount. Reward your fan base with something tangible. Use the alpha/beta periods to actually FIX things. Stop pushing things out the door before you know it's done. And I refuse to believe the people and minds that can make a game this amazing are unaware there are problems. Shame on you guys, you knew what was up.

Just please, fix our game. Is that too much to ask?

I hope you're referring to the OP. I have no problem with differing opinions but there's a way to present them in a different way than swearing in your subject line lol. It's the only reason this thread is getting traction within general comments.

Agreed

Plus shouting too much makes reading the vent disjointed, like when there is a space fbomb SHout fbomb I'm a gunna do this and that....

Post it as you see fit, but if you want the message to hit home, make it flow and don't build damns for our eyes and intellect

[SPECTRE_DM]

Yeah, how dare you not fix things for op. Don't you know, he's special.
Shame on you for fixing somethings but not everything like yesterday.

Where's my popcorn...

[Pepsi82x]

Nvm.

[Agent...Tex]

And yet, inspite of the game being so broken. Tens of thousands of players are sitting at 450 plus, waiting for T5 to open on the 5th.
Poor Boy, Im sorry that you are so b#tt hurt about things.

[F.i.x.e.r]

Well yesterday I was having a lot of trouble with excessive lag after about an hour of play and had to exit and return for another hour of play before the lag would come back and also had one delta error.

Today I played for about three hours, smooth with no lag or errors, so maybe this patch had something to do with that amongst other things? Looking forward to the main patch to see what balancing things they include. Would love to see some NPC spawning adjustments.

Grow up. Maybe they ignored your 500 bugs, even though this is literally your first post on the forums, because you were probably acting like a child like you are now. Seriously the entitlement is strong with this one. The developers don't owe you special treatment. Is this your first game or something? You expect 500 bugs to be fixed in two weeks? This stuff takes time, and it'll take more time when developers have to listen to people throw tantrums when they don't get what they want. Gamers are the worst consumers in the world.

I don't think this is a fair assessment. In this day and age with the magnitude/size of some games that push the envelope (including TD2), it's not as easy to pump out a perfect game. Developers have the luxury of being able to patch it up. This isn't the 90s (got damn I miss those days and games) where what you put out was the final version and there were no take backs. The stakes we're much higher back then.

These days, they have the luxury to continuously improve the game.

I think you've got 2 types of people within the complainers:

1. The OG gamer who is used to physical copies of games where there is no room for mistakes (a bad game was generally accepted as a bad game by a large amount of people and we all went on with our lives).

2. The millienal gamer who is used to getting everything he/she wants without fully understanding how the game was handed over to them on a "silver platter". Let's also throw in the OP in this category who probably spends 90% of his life within TD2...
