I have this problem, standing by a fire with mending wounds buff and a minor head injury only. It ticks down 3 times and then with 4 secs left it finally kicked off the injury so roughly 9 mins. Although it doesn't help that the tooltip said 5 mins and the timer is less in the first place.
I agree but I still think they should get a deserter debuff of sorts. If they legitimately had to leave than a 20-30 min debuff will have no impact anyway, but people just leaving because of a wipe should suffer a tiny bit.
I agree -- I saw it was empty in beta and really thought they would at least add a barkeep. The biggest issue for me is being unable to sit in chairs at all in the game :(
Fap, roll a cigarette, eat a hot pocket, empty the bedpan, do some laundry, refill your mountain dew. Plenty of activities to keep you busy while they fix the issues.
Open beta is just a loose term lately. Companies use it to shield themselves from poor launches and bugs. It's nothing more than a ridiculous term that has been coined "soft launch". That said I expect launch problems and I am just happy to play but the whole open beta thing is just deceiving.
