Sever merge. Health bar. Hitreg. Jump registration. - rant.

    So in this latest patch server merges were changed. I'm about to steal a stacked FOTD, and pull up to reapers to raise emissary. Only 3 squares away from the ship at the fort when... Server merge - and they're gone.

    I thought this update is supposed to make it feel "less dead" on the seas - yet instead when you're on your way to fight someone you're just going to be merged out now? This would have never happened with the old system. Feels MORE dead with that update after today's experience, and I'm sure it will happen again if this has already happening to me on day 1 of the update.

    I am so confused what goes on in your dev studio.. like the health bar has been bugged for months since it was updated to be more responsive - Which instead only made it WORSE. I think any other game company would have reverted back to normal until it was fixed (or not even released that in the first place). If you're on fire/poisoned you cannot see your health. It's very frustrating. Please fix.

    Do y'all even want people to play your game? This is like the easiest thing you could fix, even by reverting it back to how it was. Instead it has been MONTHS without resolution.

    It's time for another improvement on hitreg too by the way. You guys had an update a little over a year ago which did seem to work pretty well (not perfect, but alright), but it has seriously degraded again. Or perhaps it's an overall server performance thing.. Jump registration is also horrendous - and we've never seen an update for that EVER - however jump registration is almost as bad as having hitreg. So many times hit the jump button expecting to jump and shoot someone or get out of harm's way but instead get planted into the ground and teleported back. I've had times I press jump 3-4 times in a row and still don't jump and it's nauseating.

    Never played any other game where you can't jump properly.

    I've also seemed to notice a dip in performance right after you get a hit or a kill on someone. Like doing damage to players seems to tank server performance. That's when I seem to getting the most jump issues. (but it still happens regardless too)

    I read it happen to players more often than it does now.

    like the health bar has been bugged for months since it was updated to be more responsive

    What Bug?

    If you're on fire/poisoned you cannot see your health. It's very frustrating. Please fix.

    Tested this as I read, I can see mine. What other things are going on?

    This is like the easiest thing you could fix,

    Apparently it isnt if its still happening to a selected few.

    Never played any other game where you can't jump properly.

    Minecraft, Fortnite, Helldiver, GTA, just a few others that had a few hickups with jumping.

    So many times hit the jump button expecting to jump and shoot someone

    Ah so your trying to do two things at once hmmmmm.

    Like doing damage to players seems to tank server performance.

    PC or Console? On Console I havnt see this, but also could be location on map, what else is happening.

    Anyways...these sorta thinks need to be Reported to Support.

    Jump reg is the reason I mostly stopped playing this game, I've had issues with it for years now. I have many clips of it happening, from before hourglass came out to recent.

    This games performance has always been ATROCIOUS since day 1. Input delay, lag, you name it, sometimes you switch out a weapon and expect it to shoot when it normally does, it does not. Bucket/hit reg, every item in the game reg really.

    Each time I play sessions of SoT back to back then stop and play any other game I am reminded of how clunky SoT can be at times. But we all have to adapt through the sludge that is Performance issues in the game and simply adapt to them.
    I gave up years ago having hope they would fix these core issues, they never did/do nor will do in the future.

    I read it happen to players more often than it does now.

    I've never once gotten merged 3 squares away from a ship I'm about to fight. Until yesterday post-patch. Any source for your literary findings?

    What Bug?

    The one I described in my first post.

    Tested this as I read, I can see mine. What other things are going on?

    Happens to some people I guess.

    Apparently it isnt if its still happening to a selected few.

    It's been happening for months and to many of the people I've talked to, but I guess not everyone.

    Minecraft, Fortnite, Helldiver, GTA, just a few others that had a few hickups with jumping.

    Hopefully they've fixed them.

    Ah so your trying to do two things at once hmmmmm.

    Is this forbidden? It happens when stationary too.

    PC or Console? On Console I havnt see this, but also could be location on map, what else is happening.

    PC. Here is the location on the map I noticed it most. (circled in red) https://imgur.com/a/MgLxk0u

    Too many times has it been Reported to Support by myself and others. Yet here we are.

    Myself and some friends have been playing the game with this bug for 8 months and counting.

    Happens when on fire, poisoned, and drowning.

    Also there is still the merchant supplies bug that's been "fixed" dozens of times yet still doesn't work. The merchant still sometimes refuses to give the supplies or just straight up deletes your crate.. How about instead of the player needing to Claim the crate - just have the crate drop at the merchant's feet automatically when you purchase it so we can fix that bug once and for all?

    Here's another bug for you. If you switch food types and eat - it won't play the eating animation. (Also I'm pretty sure it happens sometimes when not switching food types.)

    So imagine playing the game right, and you try to jump and instead it teleports you into the floor, then you get hit by a firebomb so you can no longer see your health, and so you go to eat some food, and it doesn't play the animation for eating so you're not really sure if you're eating or not. Then you try to switch your weapons but you have the bug that it won't let you swap weapons. Then you try to get food out of a barrel, but it says you already have food and you realize you have the bug that prevents you from putting items into or taking items out of a barrel. As you exit the menu of the barrel your Game Options Menu is now stuck on your screen and you are playing the game behind the now un-closeable Game Options Menu. You try a new server, you go to buy supplies - the merchant won't give you your crate.

    This is the average experience these days.

    (I am submitting tickets for these bugs as well by the way)
