Fury

Hey Akuah! :) glad to see you finally made into the game! lol I know what you mean, Fury can get frustrating but at the same time makes you want to play more to see if you can keep improving yourself   . Are you still in the training area or in Sanctorum? I suggest playing a 4v4 or Vortex, they are alot of fun. I hardly play any Bloodbath unless I'm super bored. There more of a challenge in the other arena, but that could just be personal preference :)

its true it has hugely improved in some areas. but they have made it very noob friendly and watered down version of what it should be (example = increased global cooldown, and increased everyones health)

 

all they needed to do to make it more noob friendly was to make the starter skills from each archetype alot better.

There was a point in time where the game ran smoother than it ever did somewhere in 19XXXX during beta, but then the "content patch" did something drastic that lagged the game in all aspects. Slowly but surely, performance became better. There was not much else that could be done (within a short amount of time) to improve the game performance-wise, and still we did not see sorely needed improvements in other aspects of the game (ie. game  balance, map improvements) despite the community's calls for it (at one point, we were even putting together bi-weekly vent meetings discussing game balance to SEND to the devs).

When they finally rolled around to trying to balance the gameplay, all they did was make the game THEY (Adam and Cam) wanted to play. How do you expect a game to be successful when the only person that wants to play it is you? They hardly took any of our advice seriously (which we thought at first they were, but found out soon it was all falling on deaf ears), and the advice  that they did take, they took those WAY OVERBOARD. Adding a billion HP to everyone when +500 base HP as well as improving armor bonuses would've been fine (anyone who ever played against SQL and faced Rathorse's Destroyer would know potential burst damage was over the top), increasing the GCD to such an extent that even a slug could play the game,  and  not only leaving in  armor procs but also VASTLY IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS of armor procs absolutely killed any claim of "skill" this game said it had. This game found a "niche" (probably more like a "crevice") community alright, probably not the one they initially set out to capture. I can't imagine they're making much money at all right now.

It was okay to mess up in beta, and we even stood around and took all of the blows that the initial release threw at us. We stood by steadfastly and all we got was a slap in the face. No new player (I guess "chosen") could possibly understand what we went through. Some of us really pushed for the game in so many ways, we put in a half of a year (some even way more) trying to get this game to be a success. It really sucks to see something so potentially great just bomb like that, especially with all that time and money both the devs and the player base invested in it.

I can understand where you are coming from... something you worked so hard at to fulfill a vision only to be ignored and take a different course. Its disappointing. You're absolutely right, I don't think the current generation would understand where the beta, and post-beta people have come from, and I'm sorry for that.

Unfortunately and ultimately, we are only players in a game and have no say what happens
behind closed doors. We only know, and suggest from what we see now, and can only try to hope for a good future from the past.

Very well put......

I'm not exactly new, i had the game since release date.  Its  just that i have to spend alot of time in bloodbath training because thats usually the only warzone active during the hours that i play fury.  if i find a 4v4 i'm always down to join, but premades drain the fun out of that quickly.  And if there are enough players for bloodbath warmaster then i'm in. 

This is Verent :) Been here since launch.  Nice to see you again applebomb.  If you think about comin back give me a tell

hey all,

This is Thaset dont know how manyof you remmber me if at all P..

anyhow u want pvp? in yourface 24/7 pvp.. Go check out 12 sky. Google if u wont regret it..

I quit a week after release, I bought it a day after the release and really enjoyed it till people started spam healing and just like Guild Wars this ruined the PvP completely.

Making the game free pissed me off even more, I uninstalled it and threw the game in the garbage

I played tonight FURY, havent played it for almost 2 months, i should mention was a game i loved, pure PvP, nasty and raw PvP.

 I gave up on fury because the lack of population, however, tonight, i was able to play some 4vs4 rounds (peak time EST time ) and waitting queue was less than a minute, amazing, even on its eve, queue for 4vs4 used to be a royal pain in the arse, i would say around 3/5 minutes average,or endless queue at its worst,  a hard issue to avoid.

 Maybe was just luck, but, was nice to see FURY is still gaining playerbase, not as many wished, but, still going on.

Tonight it was as nasty PvP as i do remenber, and i trully liked ones again, if we forget what the game meant to be, and we stick about what the game manage to deliver right now, i think we could agree FURY still stands alone as a unique PvP game.

Auran and its crew, made a fatal mistake, made us belive they were actually paying attention to beta testers ( i was there so i can confirm it ) and eventually,. we all understood, it was the same song all over again about dev`s lisen players community, such fatal mistake ( amough others ) turned the "vets" against them, as seen , in many other games, and eventually loath and hate posts, made its way into the public.

Regardless what the game  meant to be, regardless what the updates made to the mechanics behind the game, regardless what the "vets" `ve seen and  expected, FURY, deserves to be played, and deserves to be recognized as an amazing PvP game that could deliver you a shot of adrenaline as not many others can achive without investing a lot of time grinding at PvE.

FURY does not deserve pass away without been recogniced for the PvP crew, and after my experience tonight, lack of playerbase, as we faced a few months ago, is not longer a issue, and still, as PvP game requires more skill than 99% of the games out there, so forget about "procs" and get into the game.

The thing I'm most disappointed about was how they simply, like you said, DID NOT LISTEN. I mean AT ALL. They pretended to care but did nothing of it.  What this lead to was a gash at the core of the game that led to such a low population, and they had to bandage it up by making the game free because they let it bleed so long while trying really dumb solutions that only they had influence on (even when a lot of the community tried to give long-term solutions in the forums). The game will never be the E-sports hit it could have and should have been.

ZOOoo.. i could NOT have put it better myself. Like Zooo said, F
