Already hard to progress, but can't even play for fun

[Prince Ian]

I'm pretty much locked out of running the raid because I won't join a company and randoms don't care about it, but also nobody is running M3 expeditions. I have all the gear and resources I need to run it but in this game you need people to run stuff and nobody is doing it, it's actually hard to get a group for ANY dungeon (reg, mutated, trial, raid). Random matchmaking is dead and useless, you can sit in a queue for literally hours.

This is frustrating to me because I'm not used to this. In other coop games I just queue up for whatever mode I want to play and the lobby pops in seconds, and I run it for the fun/challenge even if I already have max gear.

In this game nobody seems to want to play unless they're getting paid somehow. What else is there to do if your crafting is maxed out and you can't even run dungeons? I can really see why other players might have quit.

I have the same problem. Every queue in this game whether pvp or expeditions. I really I want to grind this game but I can't. I can't find people in pvp and expeditions.

And you wonder about this, why? Should have just made everything soloable and really turned it into an rpg, and of course eliminated PvP for a start. You have to join a company or at least make friends to do much in the game after leveling to 65 but many don't so they're stuck in what is actually a dead game no matter what the numbers are. The core concept is flawed.

Same here man! Just a dead game i guess. Seems most just wanna play through the story line and that is about it. My experience is this game is super easy I lvl to 65 without even feeling a single challenge all the way through, then was thinking well maybe the end game content might be a bit challenging and just like you have said, can't find nobody to run the stuff and the ques are terrible. Story mode on autopilot is the new way apparently. (0 challenge) not that I personally want an MMO to be a sweat fest but I do want to feel challenged say at a medium difficulty.

All the above is the reasons Im starting to question why I even bother with the game anymore. Seems that most the players want to rush through the easy story mode and dont want to do anything else other than Gorgons raid or WT's and and or paying for a carry. Since I came back this season I refuse to engage in that I suppose out of spite for the way things are being handled. I really like the game but I might have to move on in hopes they will change things. Who wants to be friends with a majority of these weirdos anyways as they are so out of line in so many ways with no Management.

lol your hilarious. can buy gs675-700 gear immediately after hitting 65 for less than 6k gold ish. with gems. to run gorgon no problem. lol. with no artifacts. xD alt still runs gorgon every week. with at most 1 artifact. gs682 average. and hes got less than 30 hours at lvl 65.

I thought it was clear for everyone since already the 15th October that ALL the content in NW is obsolete with the exception of Hive.

Why your complaining 3 months after?

I said after 3 days of playing Aeternum that this was the worst patch ever from AGS. Is just smoke, with nothing really good, even pvp is more terrible than never.

[Barracuda]

As before and still now.....We are left waiting for content again and again and again. AGS has to be the slowest dev of all time.

Game breaking bug = gets disabled a couple weeks after its known
Then it gets fixed maybe a month after that.

They combined event updates with "fixes" .

Events are way too long Christmas event is still going -----

The turkey event you could still look turkey bags until they turned on the christmas event.

10% of the time when you load into a town that is the hub, like everfall or WW, it won't load the ground textures.

Loading times in zones are painfully long still, even with fast high end PCs

10 seconds to port home or 10 seconds to use a waypoint, ( should be 2-3 seconds at most)

No hotkey to go back to the inn (closest shortcut is hit ESC then click recall to inn)
All homes you own should have a hotkey or wheel to select it VS opening the map and scrolling to the town and clicking on the town and finally selecting recall to house.
God Forbid you need to recharge it........that is another click.....you would think recharging it would do the 2 actions of recharging it and using it....nope you gotta click it again after you recharged it (am I just recharging it for fun?) Why do you think I am recharging it?

Wars have too strict of a time. Why late at night 8 pm server time? that is not late but some people do work in the morning and have schedules that can't do that time. It should be more flexible and thus 99% of the players don't participate or get a chance to.
Content is the same, its stale, RMT players are farming to sell for real money most of the resources 24/7 Sure at least they are humans that play it but they turn around and sell the coin they get on sites.
