Well Geko,
Thanks for the posts Geko! I have a couple major concerns, problems whatever you want to call them. Basically my Fun is gone and here are the things that led up to it.
1. Name reservation - Stated we would get to reserve our names. Its not the fact that I didn't get my name, its the whole process that inhibited me from getting my name. Very Poorly implemented.
2. 3-day Headstart - You give pre-order members a 3 day headstart, but then they have 2 days of downtime (or more) trying to find the game. No grace period given to people who have ALREADY paid you. Very Poor customer service. I found my copy at a Best Buy the day after so I wasn't one that had to wait, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.
3. Uncalled for nerfs- Hasten I can understand, Fire imps understood, Accelerated metabolism NOT A JUSTIFIED CHANGE. My charactor is level 21, and hasn't been played for more than 15 minutes a time after the recent patch. Anyone that has Accelerated Metabolism is now gimped. Not that the buff itself is bad, but the fact that you could have something else there, a heal an attack ANYTHING that isn't a 8+ minute recharge.
4. Results of nerf - Well this is where my distaste for the 3 day headstart came from. I was sure to pay you for the preorder so that I could start my character early, make sure I had everything how I wanted for release. I understand powers change in MMO's, notice I said change not nerfed into uselessness entirely. I got a 3 day headstart and a 1 MONTH SETBACK. I'm so very glad I bought the preorder because I really needed the cardboard box? Really tho there was nothing in that box that was even remotely interesting.
I wonder did SOE buy Cryptic Studios? I feel like I'm getting treated the same. I have numerous petitions I've yet to recieve any kind of response to, I'm being nerfed 10% of my total powers. I don't feel like I'm fighting crime anymore as much as fighting poor developer descisions;uncalled for nerfs and fanbois and whiners all the same.
I really enjoyed this game, all thru beta and all month until the poor rollout of the last patch. No information given, no discussion of what the devs feel was overpowered or wasn't.
I don't want to leave this game, I really think there is fun to be had here. All in all I can't place full blame on the devs, most nerfs stem from the forums. Hell take a look at SWG.
I think that the best thing that could happen to an MMO would be the absence of forums.
Now before you tell me to leave and the game will be better without me this is FEEDBACK. Its presented in a civil manner. I am a paying customer and I feel its not only my right, but its also my duty to tell the developers why I'm probably done at the end of this month. The fun is gone the fear is here, Please please please bring back fun!
