Completed tiamat right after yesterday's patch in one sweep, so i'm not sure what the problem was with that. Demo sure, it was bugged. Also, there's a bug in CR when Strahd takes one member of the party away there's a memory leak i think. Causes game to instantly crash, haven't found a real fix yet, altough if i manage to free up more than ~6gb at the right moment it doesn't crash.
And to all saying tong is impossible, i'd say just get a bit better gear and maybe learn that pesky little Withers mechanic no one seems to know about(dwarves). And just burst rasnsi down through the souls, he might eat up just one phase of them (3 souls), which isn't enough for a wipe.
And all you doubters said progression was dead, shame on you when the devs are clearly demonstrating how to progress from irritating the player base to becoming a laughing stock.
To the Devs: At this rate the game will die. You are haemorrhaging players left right and center. If the game is released as it currently stands on console, even with loads of bug fixes, the same fate awaits that playerbase too. They will all go elsewhere. The good news is that many of the PC players, including content creators and influencers, even though no longer playing, are still keeping themselves updated on any progress in the faint hope that things will improve. They would likely come back if a miracle was to happen and from that encourage others to do the same. You basically took a game which was loved and enjoyed, granted with long-standing balancing issues, and trashed it. The reason? Well I watched the live stream and all I heard was “we want players to…” “we want” “we want”. It’s all about what you want, not what we want. And the players pay your bills. Your team has had a history of constantly micromanaging aspects within the game using removals and changes so that players play it the way YOU think they should be, not how they actually enjoy playing it and use it, and sorry, saying you are listening to player feedback and taking it seriously now, after years of not doing so only looks like damage control. It’s obvious Thomas Foss has a very personal ‘vision’ for the game and how it is played, but unfortunately this does not seem to match what the majority of the players want, especially the elite ones who spend all the cash and invest the most time. My prediction is that if he maintains this stance of hard-headed refusal to budge from his vision, if he just plows on regardless, the game will not recover. Just my opinion as a player of 5 years who has also stopped playing after deciding you have broken my game for no good reason and left it in pieces on the ground, I can no longer bear to put in the mental effort, time and money to repair it. The very thought of doing so makes me feel physically ill in the pit of my stomach and I’m just not playing MMORPGS to feel this way.
My advice is swallow your pride, go back and reload the backup file of mod15 how it was just prior to mod16 being released, then spend 6 months interacting with your players as you apparently are intending to do from now on and do it right. And please do not tell me that there are no ‘backup’ copies in existence, the first rule of digital work is ‘save, save, save’ (when you create digital product you constantly save versions so you can go back no matter what catastrophe happens and continue from there – this would definitely count as that) and you would have file versions of all previous mods as they stood at the time they were abandoned, if only for historical purposes. It was stated in the stream that you did not want to remove the new content from the game and this was the reason you were not willing to rollback to mod15, however I would ask you, are a new map and a few pieces of new content plus the work done to roll the new system out worth killing the game over? Cut your losses, admit your mistake, rollback to mod15 and move on from there with MUCH more effective consultation and testing. Cheers.
