11 years agoDA:I Multiplayer
Are there going to be any patches for DA:I's mutiplayer? I want to enjoy playing with my friends but everytime we try to get together and play we are swamped by gameplay issues. For example movement ...
concerning team organization and coordination, it's very hard to get a working team when some people don't have headsets or someone is constantly making noise to the point that everyone mutes them even if they might be trying to communicate later.
I didn't mention this before but the necromancer's (one of my favorite classes) mark abiltiy that charms a spirit to fight for you for a time, the spirit usually will not move from that spot and if there aren't any enemies nearby it will just stay there till you kill it or it expires.
Well, that is why it would be great to have a chat system in as well. Some people are not confident in speaking the language or might not have a headset/mic. But most likely they can still read and write english.
Also, there are so many small(and big) bugs in MP that makes it harder to actually get to and beat bosses. Sometimes we have extreme rubberbanding, othertimes, only the host is able to run, while the rest is forced to walk very slowly(they can jump to move faster, but that is not really preferable in combat).
These 2 makes it extremely hard to avoid telegraphed attacks, like the Demon commanders Pop-up attack.
There is also the "no skills or potion" bug when you enter a game, or you health bar being "stuck" so that you cant see what your actual health is.
All things that makes it harder to actually beat the enemy.
Then there is the crashes and DCs that happens for apparently no reason. The game can be frustrating at times because of this.
Still, the game is fun, when everything runs smoothly. Just really want that would be the experience every time. 🙂
It should be a conosistent thing, we're almost at one month after release and I haven't seen any progress towards fixing these bugs... I haven't actually seen any patches at all, it feels like they've abandoned us (probably not the case). Ive never seen the no skill/potion or health bar bugs but when I join games in progress I can't move - I found I can still cast abilities ( and the necromancer can "walk" using her fear circle) but I can't interact with the world and navigation (wasdqe) doesn't work.
It's pretty sad statement that Bungie/Destiny is actually providing better support for their game than Bioware is currently providing for DAI.
Seriously. Where's the bloody patches Bioware?!!?!?!?! WTH
They're getting around to it. As for Bungie they probably need to keep on the ball since they broke away from Microsoft, Destiny did have issues at launch that were eventually fixed from what my friends told me about it but lets hope DA:I will eventually get the patches we're waiting for
