so about that client

enders client has been broken all day today for most, the numbers are on average around 65% (or more) less on every server than they usually are at the same times, this is certainly NOT from the purity patch and the ensueing aggravation, some people are taking breaks until after wedneday/thursdays patch sure. but the majority of this sudden overnight decline is because the default client is so terrible people refuse to play with it.

this is also what immediately turned my entire guild off to the game upon logging in to the point they would not even bother to download enders.

you folks really need to make simple **** like a default client that is actually playable and enjoyable a priority, as it is the forced fishbowl lense camera gives me headaches when trying to use it.

Posting for the lolz.

Also, strangely, a much older client of Enders which hasn't worked in a very long time began working again when the latest one stopped.

But this probably isn't the best place for this discussion trololol.

I've been using the default client today and it has stalled out (while I remain logged on) at least four times in the last two hous when I go through either gates or doors. I believe this is a known problem and may or may not be caused by the client itself but it sure is annoying.

Aye the default client almost serves to immediately turn off anyone without the inclination to realize this game has custom clients. Honestly though I think this is well-known and if jorbtar intended to update it they probably would have....

I would love to hear what was on devs' minds when they decided to change camera to orthographic projection.

No you don't. Loftar is very set in his mind about cameras.

It's a tear collection scheme. All they have to do is get rid of ender and it will be complete.
