Re: Why does your game get worse and worse every patch ?
The developers are very aware of a lot of these problems and have addressed many of them, being a Battle Royale it's fair to say that every issue the game might suffer is amplified because of nature of the format.
I thought I would just go through the list of your issues and try and address the ones I could if that's okay?
- Audio is bad - The audio isn't the worst but it could do with improvement - Especially regarding footsteps and verticality, I think it can be very output specific as I've seen people having very different results with different headphones.
- Hit registration is bad - Yes and no, I think this is more to do with ping, everyone is playing at different speeds so it's never going to be perfect.
- Legends are unbalanced - Legend changes are always coming and the balancing will always shift, this keeps things interesting and won't stop, every legend is dangerous in the right hands, some more than others.
- Weapons are broken and unbalanced - Similar to legends the changes to the weapons are always coming, some will be super strong in one season and less so in another, I think if a weapon is dominating then it needs to be adjusted but less powerful weapons are a part of the RNG battle royale way of life.
- Optimization is bad
- Constant crashing - I get crashes every so often but most of the time it doesn't affect my game, the devs have been fixing these problems pretty efficiently in the last few weeks and I haven't had any issues in the last week at all.
- Cheaters running around that have been playing since season 1 and have not been banned. - As a Ps4 player I haven't really witnessed any cheaters in the game, but the devs have given you the ability to report players on PC that are cheating, and lots of players have been banned in the process. the last thing we want however is players that are not cheating and that are just good at the game being banned because an algorithm says they should be.
- Origin stalling
- Friend invites not working properly
- Comms are distorted and pure garbage. - Agree on this to a point, for some reason the audio quality is very poor, even on PS4, if I swap to PSN party chat the audio quality improves dramatically, not to mention the fact that audio drops out during loading screens, I would appreciate a fix to this too.
- Devs not listening to community feedback - They do but they're not beholden to the demands of the community, all we can do is suggest and hope that they take out suggestions on board.
- Broken SBMM - SBMM is here and there, it's gotten a lot better in the last month but still far from perfect. I hope the whole system changes eventually to a system that works for everyone.
- Broken Rank Point system that does not get hot fixed immediately but instead after the end of the season where players are threatened with "judgement day" (with season 4 i am referring to the crypto exploit which i bet you they will not fix till either mid season or at the end which will probably result in another threat from them to those who abused it) - I guess just don't play with fire?
- A lack of options when it comes to details in your report system and not to mention USELESS report system that does nothing but give you a sense of hope that said cheater will get banned only to see him a few days later still in the game aimbotting away. - Report him again?
- Over Priced cosmetics - Yet we still buy them
- Events that you release with massive amounts of bugs or problems but honestly imo is just there to try and cash in on heirlooms locked behind massive paywalls - It's how they make money though the game, and is their right. Bugs will be bugs but we find them and they fix them, then new ones come, it's part of the process.
It's been a year but a year in this kind of game's lifetime is nothing really. QOL improvement will keep on coming, and we'll keep on playing. It's clear that you're passionate about the game and you want it to be perfect but you have a to exercise patience. The devs have to balance their time between new content and improving quality of life, it's just part of the process.
