I think that this is a great game concept. Not every bit of it is amazing, but the whole is something that I really look forward to playing, and the odd bit that appeals less, well, I tend to ignore some of the quests, for example.
Reset, or calculation, which I love, is something I mostly cannot manage. Three days a week is my max. Sometimes things work, often a little thing will go wrong. Well, computers have glitches don’t they?
However, tonight, everything went wrong.
It became a night of clearing cache and resetting. All night. Clear cache and reset. Load up an army, they won’t load. CC and refresh. Ah, they’re loading. However, the sector your guild is attacking is shown as an NPC. But your guild has a siege army there. There are no battle bubbles floating up, but you know they are fighting. CC and refresh. And there are lots more malfunctions, and lots more CC and refresh. Out of about a dozen sectors where battle took place, I managed to join in about three times. This is so, so frustrating.
Well, I’ve heard about this thread – full of disgruntled moaners – beset by a secret agent troll – and I have not been inclined to join in. But tonight, well, here I am.
All of the things that happen to me are mentioned here. All of them, and more. It appears that nobody is doing anything about it. Maybe they are, but without success.
May I suggest something.
Maybe the concept is not capable of being achieved. It is a great, great game if it works. But it’s not working. So maybe you have to, reluctantly, cut back on some of the features.
People who play for nothing cannot really complain. As it is, this game is definitely worth playing, bugs and all, if it’s free. But I pay diamonds. Hundreds of pounds I have paid. I have to tell you that it’s not fit for purpose. Really, I am entitled to my money back.
Grasp the nettle, please, if you cannot fix it. Cut back on some of the features, however attractive they may be, and present us with something that works.
