Fix your game, Rare.

@goofycs-811

I hope this game flops so hard for PS and that Rare wasted millions on a port that will see no significant support due to the utterly disgusting state of the game.

If the issues are fixed before the PS release (likely), then PS players aren’t going to notice the difference. You also assume millions were spent on porting a game? lol.

I dont see how "Xbox M&K" support will effect PS players :P They are console..Console players using Controller ^_^"

You people are beyond a joke when it comes to the maintenance of this game.

I find this Topic funny, good stand up.

Rare. you have tons of people that pay money for this game. You need to fix your latency and server performance issues. When your game doesn't work, it wastes my time and all the other players time. You have plenty of funding. I shouldnt be constantly teleporting from cannon to prawn during hourglass. Upstairs to downstairs and so on. I know its not my connection when my opponents and teammates are saying the same thing.

The devs are aware of the issue. While i dont like how rare treat updates by releasing vital fixes with major updates, i like this game and cant understand the wild logic of some people who when they simply become frustrated, they hope that the worst happens just because they were inconvenienced.

It is not healthy for your own state of mind to be so negative about something that should not affect you so much.

@goldsmen
You don't understand the logic behind a game I have supported for 6 years getting worse and worse with game-breaking bugs?

I expect games I have spent good money on to work as intended, not to constantly disconnect me, not have basic features working when those features have been perfectly fine for 4 years.

I don't take slop lying down, clearly the same cannot be said for many others who will vehemently defend a game that is incredibly broken.

No, i understand that has been happening, and i do get being frustrated, but not being so angry about it that you want said thing you supported for so long to fail and for everyone else who loves it to just deal with it failing.

You arnt some higher authority who understands what is best for the game over everyone else and others dont just "take slop lying down", as i said, im not happy with how they treat things in this case, and most people are frustrated with the game now more than ever and are vocal about it. The difference being, most people want the game to get better rather than want it to fail just because the game is in a frustrating state.

You can be angry with something without hoping it fails. Even many partners express frustrations about things that get totally messed up, and state that they want rare to do better when it happens. No one is "taking slop lying down" just because they dont agree with your verdict.

From a veteran player I don't think it makes much sense at all. At most, players bought the game and then chose to purchase cosmetics they wanted after that. Many players just use gamepass which has been a wild good deal so far. All the content has been free. Frustrations aside all of us veteran players got a very very good deal on this ride.

Got my money's worth back when Arena was around. 60 bucks (or whatever full price was at the time) for the hours I spent in that mode was definitely a deal.

I stopped supporting the game through emporium purchases shortly after they discontinued the mode. And they won't see another dollar from me until I see a change in the right direction. This is such a chronically mismanaged company that I almost want to do a case study to find out why.

I have witnessed mods telling folks to fill support tickets, and support directing people back to the forums with their issues. I've witnessed conflicting PR messaging over their social media. Season after season of issues ignored, now to the point where some folks can't play without crashing. No follow-up from Rare on the matter, but that's not surprising, because communication is abysmal in general. I've witnessed how they utilize Insiders and without violating NDA, I will say I'm disappointed.

When the folks writing the checks say "make a Monkey Island TT," the devs can't come back with "no I'd rather work on fixing bugs instead."

I wish there was a way to fund the devs without funding Rare directly haha. Also art + music team needs a raise.

Reading this thread I hate to say it is like seeing anything in the state of the world and commenting on it. I would say many of use are disappointed in the state of the game; The bugs, server issues, exploits, EAC not working properly etc.. I was gone for a long time and came back off and on but before i came back full time around the last weeks of season 10 I noticed that something felt really off and it was the server issues. I at first blamed myself thinking reset the router and modem and kept troubleshooting everything just to learn no it's now the game. I was kind of disappointed to find out the game I loved in the past that I stopped playing due to not having a reasonable amount of time was in a bad state. When I was off and on the only real problems was just not much content to keep you playing. Now i came back to shots not registering servers rubber banding and randomly lagging and ship parts not loading or being interactable.

I am still annoyed with the state of this and wondered what happened while I was gone and I started reading and found it. However here is where the problems always exist. It's the feedback cycle and it has three loops with customers then you have the executive feedback loop. You will always have the white knight that says XYZ company can never do any wrong and this creates problems and often these people should be ignored. There is nothing wrong with being positive however there is a lot of wrong letting yourself misplace blame and drinking the kool aid and listening to it's always ok and they work hard all the time etc. This creates complacency and ruins anything it touches. Then you will always have the negative nancy that anything you say, do, and fix will never be enough. These people usually mean well just like the white knight but at least they may tell you the problem so that gives you something but usually it's a general fix your stuff or this is awful etc.

I have seen both types here and the third that keeps trying to help by stating what they see and try to give good and useful input. The problem here is these people are not as vocal/loud as the other two groups. Then we get into the lack of communication, infighting, and various other issues. So in the video they have addressed the fact that they realized the state/health of the game is not in the best place and are making a team for it. I commend them for saying it and noticing it HOWEVER when you do this it's expected that things will be communicated as of what's on this list as first on and what is the timeline to expect things to start changing. So far we don't know if the team has been built or still being built. We don't know the priority of the list other then general statements made on march 20th. Right now we are 7 days away from season 12 and the PS5 launch and on the 30th roughly 40 days past the sea of thieves preview video. It would be nice to have an update on the state of the game.

@burnbacon You are a rare employee who, with an alternate account, defends the team of developers at all costs. You are very sad arguing with the players who are trying to obtain a game without the millions of errors that SOT has and if you are not, then sadly, get a life.
