Barely any updates thus far...

[Bl1ndF1re]

This game needs a ton of work. I like the game so far, But I thought there would be a ton of updates early on to things like optimization, AI, UI, etc....but there hasn't been really any. Anyone else a little worried?

[zombygunner]

No because the game is still only a month old and its in EA so a lot can still happen and the ratings are solid.

What about the update where sometimes you cant retain ANY inventory or buy things... that one was recent

[Arcebal]

First big update is supposedly coming on Halloween - it will make or break the game. As it will show do we have serious developers or just windbags on your hands.

Haha, the fact that they gotta be one or the other is just too weird. Relax dude. Don't wanna pop your balloon, but when did they ever give you the impression they were not a serious developer? I mean they have the paperwork and everything. Lol.

Well... keep us updated. "No More Room in Hell 2" just dropped like a bomb on Hiroshima.

I agree with Arcebal.

Yah the first update certainly isn't make or break. Games are in EA for a year or two even so we will have a better idea of what we are getting out of this game this time next year not this time next month.

By this I assume you mean the game has bombed with less that 100 positive reviews out of 3000

Improving models/assets/maps/lore take allot less time and effort than fixing core gameplay mechanics that can make or break the game even more. On top of those things being the very essence of what pulls people into a game. You obviously have no clue what goes into game development and expect a finished product when you literally opted into a game in the MIDDLE of development. There are many games with excellent core gameplay mechanics and a solid gameplay loop but are just so horrible with how the game is optimized and how it tells a story that it become's a flop. Stop crying like a child and just dont play the game if you are disappointed in what you see. A game that is much closer to a finished state like COD or Tarkov would be more up your alley. You sound like a kid that is watching a master painter like Van Gogh in the middle of his painting and criticizing how he should be directing his genius. Play the game as is and wait or shut up. Simple :)

Anybody who is expecting huge changes after one month of early access has not been involved in a games development cycle. Early access means at least a year from release usually. Changes are going to come slowly, that's just how it works.

[Celendrin]

but when did they ever give you the impression they were not a serious developer? "


-- because they use scripted (fake) events to 'simulate' the "war",

that's an easy way out to pretend to have an immersive battlefield,

but it isn't really,

if they are truly 'serious' they will start programming the AI to function like actual entities at 'war' with each other,

not scripted fake generated 'events' that behave erratically.

Time will tell what path they choose..

I am not expecting HUGE changes. I am expecting changes in the right direction.
This would include improvements to the AI, optimization bug fixing and finetuning movement and combat. Obviously this is a lot of stuff and I don't expect them to do all of that immediately or completely. But I do expect them to make improvements (and more than just changing some numbers like movement speed).
If the next patch will only include a new faction, new attachments and water 2.0 (whatever that means) that is a bad sign.

[Judaspriester]

The fact that we haven't seen any serious patches (besides the few hotfixes) until now can mean that the game got a serious backlash because of disapointing sales/players, but it can also mean that they want to deliver a bigger amount of fixes into one update. I personally hope for the latter and, at least until now, have some faith in the devs.

An important thing we don't know about is, how their deployment pipeline looks like, or (for us as customers more interesting) how resource intensive it is. So there MAY be some benefits for them in releasing one bigger update once a month in stead of smaller ones every week.

[Crystal meth enthusiast]

It's not Online game to get updates every 2 weeks. I don't think there would be any updates at least in 3 months. They definitely have Artists, but on state of game, i don't think they have developers.
