This is a list of problems, ranging from small to gamebreaking, that i encountered in a single day (multiple sessions) that negatively impacted the experience.
The reason i made this list was kind of for myself to see how much i've become used to and don't normally think about and just accept as part of the game.
What do you think about the current state of the game? In my opinion it's not acceptable for a AAA title that has gone through updates for around 3,5 years, to have this many problems. I've categorized them just for ease of reading.
Gamebreaking Bugs:
- Can't eat food
- Stuck on loading screen after ferry
- Broken mast keeps falling when trying to raise
- Bucket not emptying properly
- Cannons not loading properly
Bugs:
- Food cooking timer reset when food is picked up out of the pan
- Skeletons ignore stun from being hit and attack anyway.
- Various connection related bugs like teleporting enemies, player clipping through terrain, enemies not behaving like intended.
Design flaws/annoyances:
- Hit reg lol
- Why can skeletons sword slash a gunpowder keg that is held by another skeleton? Insta death that is totally out of control of the player.
- Lazer skelly pistols: its incredibly frustrating to fight these and the only reason it works at all with the gameplay is because most of the time people don't fight them alone, which helps to cover up how badly they are designed fundamentally.
- Again with the lazer skellies, why do they sometimes spawn in a group of 4 or more? It's pure evil, just insane and not fun.
- No control over server merge - there should be an option of merging instantly or to delay it by 15min or so to give players a chance to prepare to be chased by the inevitable lvl 5 reaper that will pop up way too close on the map.
- Total menu load time of around 30-40 seconds just to view event progress.
- Bad servers, never less than 50ms latency, which leads to unresponsive and sluggish gameplay.
- Awful hit detection with the harpoons.
