ok seriously, what the ***** am i doing?

[kabuto202]

Super cool story bro.

So... Can I have your stuff?

[twram]

no, i am done. game is simply trash now.

aside from the ridiculous "inspiration" fiasco which has gotten most of the attention everything else about the patch is equally horrible.

the pvp changes have completely destroyed the balance of the game to cater to zergs of unskilled retards. can not raid more than 5 targets in 2 weeks, instead of needing to build hundreds of braziers there is no need to build more than a handful since 1 does max damage now, forcing you to be unable to switch homesteads for weeks (though easily gotten around). all of these changes with pvp were designed to make it so that it is easy to zerg down small groups with a large enough collection of mouthbreathing *****, all three servers ended up being dominated by small groups of aggressive pks, all of the developers zergy friends from haven got destroyed in embarassing fashion and quit so now this is what we have. a socialism influenced piece of **** that does its best to halt the advance of the achievers and force all playstyles into groupthink *****, this is how every single game i have ever played made by euro developers eventually ends up.

the gluttony changes are just laughable beyond description, it already took months to build a few hundred stat character under the old system, under this system it would take far longer if it is even possible at all (can only ever eat an inventory of food every 4 or 5 hours or so, this works out to 3 - 4 stat points at lower stats, 1 at higher stats)

again, this new system is made to make people stay at newb levels for as long as possible so that people chase the carrot for longer. it is like the trick in all of those **** games where they ad "new content" by ninja patching it so you run half as fast in order to not discover their entire half assedly created world before your free month expires.

the "new map generation" is what i expected, nothing actually ***** useful or interesting like caves, new terraforming options, water building etc, instead the only thing different is sometimes rivers connect to lakes now instead of stopping 20 feet in front of them, whats worse is that all of the biomes are now smaller than they were before and randomly ***** everywhere like a quilt wearing someones lunch, which means you get to go mindlessly drag your ass around the world even more to do your already annoying foraging.

basically the entire game was gutted to make it so everything takes ten fold longer to do (in terms of TIME not effort, which is even worse) and that the 40 iq morons that were to ***** incompetent/stupid to build more than one brazier or level more than 2 or 3 fields after 6 months now do not need to while at the same time handing over yet MORE advantage to zergs of *****. because you know EVERYTHING in game was not already 10 fold easier in a group than without.

game is easy to play now of course, log on for a few hours every couple of days. trouble is i am not finding any good reason TO log on after this patch. i do not want to play a piece of trash like eve, which is what the game is now. just like haven.

you retards can sit around talking **** all you like, means less than nothing after i dominated all of you solo for the last 2 years. and under the insanely overpowered defense mechanics of the old world to boot.

Didn't read, don't care.

Why are you still here?

omg socialism!!1!!eleven

[sabinati]

thanks obama

[RuneNL]

...

Admitting you did fantastic on your own, the only time you 'owned' me was when you betrayed me with some lame ***** quiters story etc. And killed my 30 bile alt. Don't care.

Not sure myself how I am going to deal with this new system myself. I expected you to be on top of the game a.s.a.p.
Too bad to see you ragequit.

Best of luck.

XOXO From now no longer Shambala

[Darwoth]

i could easily be "on top" again, particularly under this retarded system. trouble is i have zero interest in doing so.

patch is basically like if i was a racecar driver and i have now beaten a particular racer a dozen times already, so now the track owners decide to make the race more "interesting" we will leave our cars on the staging lane turned off for 6 weeks first, then when the race finally does occur nobody is allowed to exceed 5 mph, and i being a small unsponsored race team also have to carry a 4 ton trailer of pure ***** chained to my undercarriage to give yet more advantage to all the guys with millions in sponsorship.

[RuneNL]

^ This.

Then Darwoth, I wish you the best of luck and I hope to read more masterful or lame trollage on the SBG website.

[Darwoth]

yeah, i will pop by every now and then to put up some of the great **** from yesteryear when the game did not suck since i have time to do writeups now. glad i played, was fun while it lasted.

this experience has motivated me to take a serious look into what is required for a small game like this, do not be surprised if you see "my version" sometime down the road. if you want something done right do it yourself.
