    Sorry, I'm don't follow with the problem in calling a duck, a duck; It's just using shorthand.

    We all know the game is poorly optimized from a hodgepodge of 1.0 and PS3 era code/limitations/decisions, which effects performance on the engine today, right? If not spaghetti code, what would you prefer to call it?
    Whether it is physical code or some "design decision", it's poorly done.

    There is no reason the game should have as many clicks as it does on the retainers or, say, Tomestone vendors; thus QoL improvement.

    But it's not a duck. They rewrote the engine, and server code; it's new spaghetti code. Spaghetti would have less limitations, I suspect!

    The game runs poorly because, I suspect, the new team had very little knowledge how an actual MMO works, therefore didn't know what doesn't work.

    I agree that there's just too many clicks for some stuff but that's just the way it's made.

    We're in the third expansion and the design philosophy hasn't changed much.

    Unfortunate the 'PS3 limitations' are going away because it's an MMO and they need to appeal to a bigger audience so we'll still have consoles limiting what we can do and lower end PCs. By the time PS5 comes out it'll be a low end PC, relatively.

    However the new light background for menus has to be my favourite QoL thing in ShB


    The Realm Reborn main scenario isn't going to be rewritten they're just going to chop some stuff off. More like a film edit I'd say.

    Unless you can link otherwise.

    But it'll break the servers... unless it's an extra sub ofc!
