Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

Something for SE to think about...

Gameplay is the biggest detractor in A Realm Reborn. An issue that was brought up in beta and was never addressed is the ability delay in the game. At this point it would appear that SE has just thrown in the towel and said they have done the best they can with it. For those that have not played the game yet here are a few examples. Most enemies telegraph that they are going to perform a special type of attack or maneuver. When they do this will have a casting bar and they will illuminate the ground where the effect is going to take place. Players can run out of this area of effect before the casting bar completes and still get hit by the spell.

On the opposite side of this you can run into the area before the cast bar completes and not get hit by the effect. Also if this an interruptible ability and it is interrupted after about two thirds of the cast bar has completed the ability will still cast. Most people after playing the game for a period of time get used to this. This is not something that players should have to get used to. This is something that the developers should fix. There are too many MMOs out there that get this right. It is unacceptable that an MMO released in 2013 cannot.

Shame that the reviewer still gave Gameplay a 7, and the game an 8.6 or something, even considering that.

It looks like a very generic answer to me, but I also feel this is the maximum amount of information, feedback, and concern we will get from their part, so I guess we can give up on reporting this.

No we need to keep this thread active and going so it doesn't get sent into the meh maybe we will fix it pile. They need to see how much it is harming their game and realize they will lose players because of this once said players hit endgame, hopefully this will force them to lead the elephant to proper pastures so the issue can finally be laid to rest!

Well it's funny because he said that if we had any complaints they should go here, however this place looks even more devserted than the bugs one

It's funny that this post is already degenerating into subculture stuff (elephant in the room!)

17 of my guild started this game 3 weeks ago. Fewer and fewer have been logging in lately, and this has been the main reason why. We're now at the point where it's only me still logging in, and I sure won't be here after the first month.

So it doesn't really matter what they do now, the game is done as far as I'm concerned. But hopefully future MMOs will learn from this - it doesn't matter how much polish and fancy cutscenes a game has, if basic combat mechanics don't work because of crappy server coding you've got no chance.

It is generic. The truth is, with what they stated on the GCD thread, I don't think they can fix it. With PvP, and non-scripted boss battles, you will see more people give up. Some will post, but the greater number will simply quietly move on. SE better hope they have the numbers a year from now to keep the game going. I heard the went in deep red with the relaunch.

First off, if they actually intended to do anything or have done anything they would actually reply to this thread; Second to that the response is scripted, generic, bullshit. At this point any reply besides how they intend to fix this in exact detail is pointless, time is almost up for the initial sub from purchase of the game, this is not a 2013 MMO problem, this is enough people wanting to pretend they are some kind of new elite because they play without these problems and the game devs wanting to believe they are just as good as the 'elite' claim they are, so they fix nothing, they just polish.

Ironically enough the trolls in shining white armor only serve to feed a thread that should not be ignored, it servers as a bitter reminder no matter how much evidence or how much fact you offer, some people are just determined to bury their head in the sand and hum. *cue ostrich*

Maybe it's your computer then. I haven't lagged at all that I can remember.

And I agree, this game isn't really difficult; it's just a little more difficult then the dubbed down versions of recent MMOs, but hey, I'm not the one complaining.

I could insult you, point out the specs of my rig, compare them to others running the same setup, compare pingtests, traceroute connections, FRAPS fights and show the error; I could tell you all of this from a network engineer's perspective, perhaps offer some helpful suggestions to improve the problem.

If I did this I would only be repeating what other people have been saying for over Sixty Five Fucking Pages; Get your head out of your ass and read the post before you empty your bowels on the forum.
