Last Night Was a Bug Fest & No Capitol Hill
I've had it happen before that a session is extremely bugged out, and hope what happened last night is just fluke. Pretty much everything that can go wrong did. First issue was that upon launching the game, no HDR and the image was flat and dull and exposure wrong. I had to reboot the game a few times to get HDR working.
Next I hit so many issues I ended up cursing the game and quitting because it simply wasn't any fun at all. There were enemies that would just stand in place. Enemies would literally disappear. It turns out they didn't disappear but transported about 20 feet. This happened more than once.
There were stuck enemy NPC's. They were right in the center of the activity I had engaged, and some enemies were aware of me (since I had fired and killed a few) but the chest bomb dude was just stuck in place making his insane sounds but not moving. And I mean not moving at all, like the animation had stopped. He wasn't even standing at rest. What I mean by that is no character ever stands completely still. They are always breathing and making small movement -- just like we do in real life.
There were imaginary walls, and I am not talking about the high number of items that you can't walk or climb over which you should eb able. I am talking about trying to walk down the middle of the street and the character just stops moving as if running up against a wall.
There were delays in firing. Yeah, sometimes when you fire it doesn't happen for like a second. A lot of that last night.
There were stuck CPs. Cleared CP solo because reinforcements never arrived and enemies didn't come. Both were stuck and I had to go chase them down. Happened more than once. The second time it happened, as I went to chase them down several waves of enemies spawned all at once right on top of me. Yes, I've seen this spawn on top of you bug before.
Of course, since they spawned on top and all around me, I died and that is when I hung it up for the night.
I am sure there are more things I am just not recalling.
Was looking forward to an invaded Capitol Hill today, but apparently that isn't happening. Just killing time waiting to complete some content at this point. Oh, and it isn't new content, just new stuff buried beneath old content that I must replay to get something that sounds pretty good.
Rumor is the invasion schedule is not a set rotation, that it is RNG..... another rumor is that it is set but Massive has decided not to let CH in the rotation so there are not more people with the Nemesis because they are not sure if there is a balance problem because of that powerful weapon.
Probably need to put this game on the back burner until the developers get some things figured out. The main and side missions on the quest from level 1-30 was a great game. End game is not so great. I already did invest time in a specific build, but honestly I couldn't recommend someone to spend time on that because with the state of the game kind of up in the air with balance being changed, you can't feel secure in your choice of build that it won't one day be rendered useless -- like so many had happen with their skill-based builds.
But its an RNG game dude! I live about 90 minutes from Atlantic City, so if I wanted to sit and pull a lever a gazillion times to see if I win something, I would go to the casino. But quite frankly, I am not sure this casino is not rigged.
