The Console is useless with out the GM flag on your account with the exception of a few debug commands.

On thread. I know this is taking some time and PWE dont like to comment on this sorta thing. I just hope that they are taking the time to get this RIGHT first time for the playerbase.

They have told us this is temp so I just hope they get it right after the time it takes to get resolved.​​

Wrong as someone who likes to use two games one separate monitors not having access to the console is completely annoying. when you d_rendernofocus it stops that annoying and unnecessary screen freeze when you click off of the game. Also as someone who streams the game regularly is not great when i click off the game to change a song or to check out a webpage that my entire stream is at a freeze screen.

So no it isn't useless.

Sadly I don't really see much of a solution to this whole problem. Sure PWE could bring normal login back or fix arc in a way that please a lot of people, but the damage has already been done.

All I can say is that the state not only of this game, but also of the whole gaming industry nowadays is kind of disgusting.
However at same time, it is also true that a lot of the bad things that game companies do nowadays are the players fault.
A lot of gamers nowadays are not only used to, but also pleased to be "legally scammed" by game companies.
If we compare modern games to your average game from 12 - 15 years ago or even older ones, you will notice that most of the limitations on older games were hardware based, and most of time the finished product was pretty good.

Nowadays we have PC and consoles way more powerful than the ones at that time, but even so, most of the modern games are alf finished, full of glitches, and even worse: they sell you the other alf of the game as dlc for even more than what the full game cost.
- In the past a company had to pay people in order to test a game for them to launch a full product. Now people pay the company in the form of "founder pack" or "early access" in order to test the game for them.
- In the past you would buy a game, and said game had multiple endings, characters, extra missions, extra bosses, etc, etc, etc. Nowadays the game is just the basic history and everything else is dlc that cost more $$$$.

And what is more funny about this whole thing is that a lot of people defend this ***** and shady business practices. Many people say stuff like: "Is my money and I use it as I want" or "It is a job for them and they need to earn for a living blabla"

Reality is that if someone goes to buy a $ 400000 sport car, let's say a Lamborghini or something like that. And after buying the car, the person get only the chassis, with a defective engine, no seats, no radio and a lot of other bad stuff. That customer would be really mad about it and will definitely call the seller a scammer. Imagine how much rage that customer would feel if the seller also tell him: you can get the radio, but paying extra $$$$.

Now I know that a car is something tangible and can not be compared with software, still that does not change the fact that your average contemporary gamer seems to love to be screwed by their favorite videogame companies.


Now you may wonder how the heck is all what this guy said related to PWI.
The answer is simple:
If most AAA game companies **** their customers nowadays even on single player not online games. It should not be surprising at all that pwe focus now only on their whales and tries to milk them as much as they can before the end, specially considering that a lot of those whales will keep dumping thousands of $$$$ on keys/packs and other stuff.
This company as many others, already got used to depend only on their big spenders and pretty much all other people are irrelevant for them. So yeah big part of the problem is not the company itself but the people that love to waste their money on garbage.

Now don't take this as QQ or rage of any sort, it is what it is and as I said before there is not much that we can do about it.
The reason why I say it is cause from my point of view: the only thing that could shake a company like this, would be something that affect directly and in really short term their capacity to earn money from their players. And by the reaction we got so far, it seems to me that this is not the case. I can asure you that if the whole arc stuff was instead something like inability of its customers to charge $$$, they would immediately fix the isue even with chinese holidays...
