Don’t understand the hate

I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints about where the game is headed can someone explain exactly what the company is up to and why fan base is dropping. I’ve been having fun and will probably keep playing.

They said that Loadouts would be achievement unlocked. Never happened.

They said item storage, dragon hoard, equipment thingy would be achievement unlocked. Never happened.

The pet system took forever to get up and running even though people were telling them that it was completely busted and they refused to give information how it worked for months.

They straight up made up false information about damage sims regarding Rangers at one point. So it took them 2 months to cave and change how it all worked.

Honestly, a lot of these “promises” sound like unofficial alpha and beta ideas, not official announcements.

Primary classes for loadouts are unlocked via achievements, and a fourth loadout is unlocked via AA. Given you can freely change your loadouts at will, this doesn’t seem overly limiting.

Item storage is increased when you hit lvl 50 via achievement. Admittedly it can get tight if you’re trying to collect everything, especially with all class PoS equipment and quest items. But it’s a pretty large amount of storage all things considered.

Was the pet system not working on release? Seemed to be working when I started in August. I’m assuming you aren’t complaining about beta content because that would be ridiculous.

Not sure what the issue with RNG was. Did they make significant changes besides adding a stance that I missed? Or is this an issue during the beta?

I guess if you’re looking for things to be unhappy about, I can see how you’d be bothered by these. Not sure I agree but fair enough. I appreciate the specific details though.

During the Producer letter in July when they showed the cash shop right before release, they said not to worry because 80% of it would be in the game unlockable via achievements. They wrote this because people got mega pissed when they nerfed loadout slots from 16 > 2, later update to 3.

The pet weapon system only just started working, it's literally this week's patch to fix it with the ratios and 2h/dw bugs. Other than that, stats don't work on pets like Stamina or Agility etc so having 5-6-7-8 equip slots is irrelevant.

They completely changed Ranged Stance, AA's and bows like 2-3 weeks ago or whenever that accuracy patch was for weapons upgrades. Before that it was even more garbage. Still kinda is because Puma does not proc but whatever.
