Early Access Review
Before I even say anything, I HATE to put people down for their work, I REALLY do. BUT, sometimes I just find myself in need to do it... :(

Are you serious Mr. Smart? Is this really going to be a game to present to audience in 2015?? Sure, Ive seen you say this before, oh my games will only attract certain people. What kinda people do your games attract?? I just don't understand how you're still in business?

When I first heard about LoD (July 2014), I was SUPER excited, I NEVER played any of your previous games, so I don't know, and I won't talk or judge them. The concept of your game (LoD) is AMAZING!! I was reading all the posts over your website, and thinking this is gonna be big, and could't wait for the second the EA would go live, and was one of the first people to get in it.

I got in, and I was shocked by the POOR graphics, animations, sound, performance, map design, art design, HUD design. But I thought MAYBE as time goes by we will improvements. The first Infantry drop was promised for October 2014, it just got released a few hours ago (About 4 months later...) But, sure, its ready when its ready like you would say.

So I get on in hopes of something improved after all that time. Does that thing I'm holding in my hand seriously look like a rifle to you? Does that muzzle flash look like something that should be in a 2015 game? Does that sound like a rifle being fired? You know, there are those SHI.TTY HALF AS.S free to play games out there with a lot better quality than what you've got...

Why is my average FPS about 10FPS on a Core i5 3570K, 8GBRAM, and GTX670 FTW V-Card? Sure, I understand its early alpha or whatever it is. But I've participated in TONS of games in their early states, NEVER had such POOR performace...Currently I'm testing Star Citizen, and running maxed out at an average of 50FPS. I tested PlanetSide 2 in its Alpha days was running at 35FPS average, now with the full game in the 50s. And you know PlanetSide 2 with its graphics and player counts would EAT your game alive. Or Star citizen with its graphical quality...
Also, why am I not seeing anyone online? The most I've ever seen was like 2 people on the server... Is anyone even playing your game??

Sure, I understand its an Indie game developed by 10 people, but come-on, if that's going to be the outcome, you could've came up with a kickstarter campaign to get some money. Or sold your idea/concept to some publisher to back you up...

And I TOTALLY do NOT believe it cost you about $10M to make this "Thing", because that just sounds like TOTAL BUL.LSH.IT. If its $10M to develop such a crappy game, then how much does it cost to develop a decent game? What did you spend the $10M on?? I know the things that cost lots of money are Marketing, MoCap stuff for animations, Hollywood talents for voice overs, lots of AAA developers working on the game, AAA audio studios for sound production, etc. YOUR GAME DOES NOT HAVE ANY OF THAT...

Last thing I will say is that I feel bad for myself having put $20 into this FAILURE of a project :( Not that the $20 hurt my wallet or anything. I just feel bad having supported you and your game in anyway even if its with 20 bucks...And of-course your would say no-one forced me to pay anything...LOL

Just don't delete this post, or block me if you've the courage to take criticism, and negative feedback. I wish if I was able to provide some positive criticism and feedback, but I've seen TONS of games in their early stages, and never seen anything like this. Your game will not change...

Looks like an amateur scammer got Early Access to your wallet.

I think this game needs to be investigated for fraudulant schemes like Derek Smart accused Star Citizen, at least the combat module was fixed before they move on to other things (And that's not just cause they have money and multiple teams) Chris Roberts put a full effort to fixing a lot of the game breaking problems with the combat module in 2 months and other smaller issues in another 2! Derek Needs to stop all the drama and go help make windows vista better (not...)

Anyone who badmouths the devs gets banned on the forums, so many banned people on there and hardly any negative posts. Sums it up really, vindictive asshole devs. Nevermind that the game is a pile of shit.
