Did funcom already kill the game? Economy will never recover from the infinite blueprint bug

>no private servers
it was dead before it was even born

>>1966641 (OP)
The blueprint bug wasn't a big deal, but funcom will have to try a lot harder than the dlc and chapter 2 if they want to retain or attract players.

Wow I thought/vgl gave up on this game, glad there's still a thread here. I've been playing primarily on weekends with my retarded friend and we JUST hit Aluminum and are moving to Eastern Shield Wall. Super comfy game, unbothered by all the end game crap. By the time we get to DD and do all the quests and 100% all the zones, they'll hopefully merge servers somehow and their shit will be ironed out. I'm even happy with a lower population.

People still care about this shit? The only thing that can save this game at this point is private servers. the developers have gotten surprisingly retarded since Conan Exiles.

>>1966641 (OP)
If they didn't spend 25% of budget on making sure helmet is hidden in cutscenes and there no way to make it visible, and put all that effort and money on fixing bugs, it's wouldn't die.

Does the repair exploit still work? Or did they finally crack down on it?

>>1975507
still works

>>1975610
Nice, I just want to build cozy fortresses not get stuck in a loop having to constantly dig up shit to repair my suspension belt

Did they fix endgame yet

Patch 1.2.10.0 will fix everything

>>1975720
i spoke too soon
the repair exploit has been patched in the ptc version

>>1976691
damn, so last chance to repair is now I guess

What's the point in playing a MMO that isn't persistent single shard?

>>1976826
It's a survival crafting game first

>>1977408
Tell that to the devs who configured it to be PvP centric until predictably none of the survival crafting community flew out to become content for seal-clubbers.

>log in
>press button to refill large turbines
>log out for another 30 days
Yeah, that's some peak gameplay.

There's new quests in Arrakeen. In one, the bar tender at the Salusan Bull says "by the gods" like this is a fantasy game. The random encounter quest text is also overly edgy or feels phoned in.

Funcom used to be known for far better quest quality back in their TSW era and now a buggy, retardedly designed game is what they push out? What happened?

>>1980172
They promise to fix endgame in january! Although since they are upping draw distances it's going to be at least playable now.

Are they ever gonna merge server auction houses?

They need to shut the game down and relaunch it with locally hosted private servers and modding support, nevermind silly things like merged auction houses. This isn't an MMO no matter how hard they shit in one hand and wish in another.

>This isn't an MMO no matter how hard they shit in one hand and wish in another.
That was a problem in Conan Exiles too. I know Funcom made Age Of Conan first but they need to let the MMO mindset fucking go already. Their games have some of my favorite features out of any survival games but their MMObrain always ends up ruining them in the end.

Dead game

What could turn that around? I wonder if even private servers+modding like someone said earlier would do it at this point.

The game is too dry (not pun intended).

>>1988310
I agree, they should either go full in on making an MMO or survival crafter, not this weird mix that fails to do either

>>2004803
Visible helmets in cutscenes.

>>2004803
>dynamic events
>sandcrawler raid public event
>vehicles for AI
>end game resource sink for spice
It would take all that just to make the deep desert actually interesting.

>>2005648
They can’t even get the loot timers working in DD. They'll never be able to do any of those things.

Auction house merge when

This is the worst thread on this website

So is plastinium now worthless since it's everywhere in pvp

I just got eated by a worm for the first time in 300 hours

What's the best armor for starting on DD Labs solo runs? Choam heavy?

Really wish they hadn't fixed the repair exploit. Gathering spice-infused plastanium and other shit from the DD is absolute ass, even with the increased nodes.

>>2022983
Just buy it in the market

>>2022999
What's the fastest way to get solaris?

>>2023008
Sell plastinium

Is Regis disruptor pistol the best gun

>>1966641 (OP)
not to be mean, but has Funcom ever made a genuinely good mmo that isn't riddled with flaws and terrible design choices

>>2023971
Secret World is genuinely good, but it really should've just been a single player game (or small co-op) and not an MMO, so the second thing you said is still technically true.

The life of a spice farmer is lonely

>>2025020
I notice the worm gets extra aggressive lately on the larger fields, I can only harvest half of them before they breach right on the edge
