Originally posted by HanoverZ And there are 297 people voting 1, of which only about a dozen have been "validated". Perhaps the entire poll should be ignored because of the inadequate sample size. |

Originally posted by Besttheiswow Anyone voting less than 4 is clearly expecting a finished game... or... are there supposedly intellegent humans that don't understand the concept of beta testing?? P.s. I certainly understand that some people feel that the open beta was poorly run, but your post is 90% insult and only 10% discussion / question. P.P.S. Honeymoon69 : "u got proof for that? wait u cant can u since its not ur computer." Ohhh. so you mean your computer is crashing. What's in your rig? I think pretty clearly that Thorpeyrox thought you meant the servers were crashing. |

I voted a 7. Had more fun in this unfinished game in open beta than any other game since UO. Don't quite understand how you can vote a 1. Nevermind, I take that back. I'm sure the people that voted a 1 just did not know how to play the game. The game has some issues but definately deserves better than 1 lol. |

I don't think it deserves a 1, but it does not deserve much more than that. The newbie experience is truly frightful. You basically get ganked before you even figure out what keys do what, and then you are in the underworld, with no idea where to do and a crappy black and white distortion effect on your screen to simulate being dead. Eventually, the lucky (perseverent) ones find a priest to resurrect. Then you need to spend ages chopping wood or mining in order to raise your stats to be able to fire a bow or lift a sword and to gather materials to make said bow or sword. It is ridiculous that you can't just start adventuring right away, but have to skill up gathering and crafting skills. Then, once you have done all the hard work, there is nothing to do. You can engage in meaningless PvP (getting slaughtered because the PvP is never a one-on-one fair fight) but there is basically no PvE to speak of. I don't feel very heroic chasing weasels across a field. 99% of people who try out this game will not find it fun, and I am very doubtful that it will survive for more than a couple of months after release. |

Originally posted by osmunda You know what? The only "poll" that matters is going to be taken on July 9th. yes July.. because when they launch in June they are still apparently planning to auto-subscribe all the pre-order people. That buys them another month but of course will forever paint them with the same "scammer" brush that Farlan gets painted with.
Once the reviews about the launched "game" start to roll in I guess we will hear the same thing about sample sizes and biased websites. It's OK. The market will dictate whether SV deserves to survive and I am fairly confident that I know how that's gonna go.... we will know soon!

Originally posted by Slapshot1188 The game is feature complete for what they promised and they gave us more. Skill books work perfectly find, you can see all the books. You need to have pre-ordered to test the game at the moment due to the fact open beta has closed. Patcher issues, havn't been around for a long time. Nowgame.exe I havn't seen in a long time. The desync isn't there anymore but yes the mobs needs fixing. No lag on my side please check your computer specc, the game doesn't require a top notch computer to run. Invisible walls, they're most likely stuck in an object after relogging in OR they're trying to climb a mountain too steep. 10 second lag doesn't exist. Placeholder skills... what are you referring too? Guards are temp solution but do their job fine. |

Originally posted by Slapshot1188 The first month is free.People who pre-ordered the game did so wanting to play and believe it or not on the account management page oh look a simple clear option that asks you if you would like to renew or not! So I really don't understand your point? |

Originally posted by Thorpeyrox I'm sure you don't... but that's OK. If you really want to know just search for the hundreds of posts on here AND on the official forums. HINT- that "simple clear option" was added to the website 7 months AFTER the pre-orders were opened..

Originally posted by Slapshot1188 Probably because the game release was so far away it was irrelevent at the time! Not to mention if you did pre-order back then you're clearly going to try the game when its released, meaning when it was implemented they would have heard they now have the option to stop auto-renew and would of done it. Still not getting the huge issue here. |

Originally posted by Thorpeyrox Umm... the game is currently in a far WORSE state then when those comments were made. 90% of the "features" are currently turned off.. 3 weeks from launch. All professions currently give the same skill set..(even some of those are broken). Nowgame.exe still happens. No patcher issues/?ROFL.. they just had us RE-DOWNLOAD the entire 5GB game because they couldn't figure out how to patch the 80kb file they changed... No lag? Umm OK, maybe your special, many people still experience all the items we used to call Desync but now has been renamed LAG. "Placeholder" guards have been there for 10 months...
It's OK though.. I heard they were going to patch on the 17th.. no maybe the 18th... no.. hmm.. maybe today (still waiting for Downtoearth's update on that)? If not, surely sometime soon.. and that patch will put all the skills and features back in the game and get rid of all the lag. I am sure it's just some client optimization which they will iron out in the next 20 days or so...

ya I'm gonna post just so the fanboi thorpeyrox or whatever doesn't get the last word. Um, this game may have the "features" that Starvault promised, but what it doesn't have is good core gameplay...stilll...Although it could, it does not, here's why: The loot bags still lag hard when you open them to loot a creature. It still takes 5 seconds to sheath and unsheath weapons. I even turned the settings down after a couple failed pvp battles. It seems that I can't really get the timing down, why is that, lag. Lag...yup....it's still there and unless you have the highest newest comcast connection, which I haven't experienced personally, then your simply lying. So which is it?
Also, I really don't care what features they promised or not. There's very few animals or monsters to kill. I found 1 village of skeleton warriors that pwned me and that was it. I would have to spend hours trudging through the lag to be able to kill one. There is not a single one of those epic creatures they were talking about that only live once, if you kill that creature it is dead forever....yup none of that. On top of it all I've experienced good community only once, when it was dark and we were all gathered around a torch. Other then that I get killed on sight. No words, nothing. Fun, f*** your "featuers" give me core gameplay NOW or die Mortal.....online.

Originally posted by Slapshot1188 Yes 90% of the features are currently turned off player side, to allow the developers to pin point and remove the cause of the desync and fix other technical issues with the game, they told us this and also told us that the servers would be reset regularly (i'm sure you probably flame that too). They had us download a new client yes and yes there was a slight hitch around 10 mins into the download. The guards are still there as placeholders because guess what, they have a lot more important things to get done first. |
