Abandoned game

[Vault Hunter 101]

Hey is the game abandoned? No updates for a month, worth buying or no?

[Ћ Abomination Jones]

An update is coming, but no date has been given due to issues that cropped up trying to push it out. Any news regarding it will be posted more formally.

[Sylvix]

it's more like a necromancer's reanimated pet hamster.

its not "abandoned" per say, but its not alive either.

The updates thread pinned and and in green is like completely abandoned with no feedback from the devs, and it was supposed to be made exactly for that. Complete joke

It's not PD2.
It's not as big as PD2

But it's a solid game with what it offers, Gameplay is good, weapons are good, the heists that are here are pretty solid.

The xp gain can be a hit or miss, it's slow but ok to do, xp is locked behind challenges, you do not get (yet) xp from just completing a heist, only from challenges that you complete during 1 or multple heists. For example kill 50 people with a specific weapon, goes up to 1000 kills, every stage of that challenge gives a bit more xp towards your level.

Also sillpoints are a bit of a pain. every 5-7 levels you get one, i'm level 65 with 16 out of 21 points, while i have already 50+ hours in it.

If you like PD games then yes it's worth it, if you don't then skip it till the fist day patch finally get's released.

Do i personally recommend it?
- yes, it's a solid game, still enjoying it.

maybe it's time to give actual details of the delays? Not the generic answers... communication is the most important, more important than the patch delivery itself

Dev on alt for sure.

It's been a month, the player numbers are at rock bottom and the devs can't even name an ETA for the Day 1 patch. Don't buy it unless you're so rich that wiping your arse with 40$ would be a more beneficial investment.

Lmao, Starbreeze should've delayed this game if they can't even do a day 1 patch right. Any bets they'll return to Payday 2 DLC?

The communication is always a joke. Everyone is left in the dark and ghosted all the time. They even tricked the influencers into lying for them (as stated on video by Red Archer, their partner, lol). The company does everything it can to distance itself from us and just ignore us until they come around rattling their cup again.

Once in a blue moon we get a handful of generic corpo posts on some platform to pretend they are totally listening to us. Then they proceed to do as they were going to do anyway, nothing changing from the inevitable course. May as well try to have a conversation with a brick.

They have no interest in what the fans and players want. We exist only as a resource for them to exploit to please the real customers - the investors they are promising to milk us with MTX and ten dollar masks or whatever is coming for years to come. We are all simply considered on the level of unfortunate and inconvenient obstacles to our wallets.

It is baffling why they are just so breathtakingly bad at communication - REAL communication, you know, when people talk back and forth and it sounds like real humans and not a bot or pre-written statements or hostage statements? LOL

For years it's just felt like shouting into the wind or void trying to communicate with them. There's no interest from them at all. It makes things all the worse for these situations when they mess up again and again and just delay and leave people hanging and in the dark once more or when they make their promises that despite concerns it'll all totally work out (like the online only and the servers we were promised wouldn't go down and those concerned about were totally wrong and silly...).

Honestly wouldn't bet against it at this point, as crazy as it seems. In the past I'd think it was impossible but they've managed to exceed the most grim and pessimistic expectations for PD3 so far. A nightmare of a launch that just continues to rot and fester even a MONTH after! Players bleeding off steadily all the while and their reputation in tatters. They are still struggling just to patch their game even once! I've never seen such incompetence. I am at a loss to even imagine what is going on in the company that could cause such awful results. The patch seems unlikely to arrive this month at all as we face the typical wall of silence from them. Could be the middle of next month, who knows. So could be six weeks. Could be two months (maybe more) before they manage to do the "day 1 patch".

How did this cost countless millions of dollars to do?

Got the source for that? Would really like to see it.

Red Archer's channel on YT. He said in his recent video about stepping away from Payday for a while. Was astonishing to hear it right from him like that. The fact they got him to lie about such a petty thing too was incredible. A case where the cover up was worse than the crime, but makes you wonder what else they are fibbing about and we don't know yet.

I noticed the mods don't have the mouse icon by their names. Even they know to stay away from this schlock. Starbreeze would be better off taking their game funds they waste on bombs and put it toward time machine technology or harnessing the power of wishes. That is probably money better spent.
