    It's about 1 week i stopped to play, due to my disappoint about game economy, priority choice, and the sensation of just wasting time while i can have more fun elsewhere, on the other hand i love that game, i continue believe and trust in it, buf i would find intersting know why many friends and people started to play minus, stopped to play, and what are for them the lack or the things on the priority list of customers and people. In the poll i just regroup all the things i heard from people.


    The answer why i'm not playing sota, is cause the time i invest here doesn't give a real in game return:

    I do boss, they don't drop;
    I go farm mobs for igg to invest in a project, it seem just a waste of time due to the cashflow, and it would take about 8 month of grinding 14 hour per day this way.
    All know i was a mine farmer, but even here have a dice roll for a good istance where mine have a good spawn rate and where the production of ores per hour is enough trubleshotted me;
    So i turn on crafting, but on 20 items i break them to the first or second mw or enchant, so i said: ok 40k of mats wasted, 6 month of crafting exp and mats invested for it, and if i go back to cashflow, basically to waste 40k of mats i need to farm and get bored for 6-7 hard hour.

    I like hard game, but hard is a thing, the feeling of waste time on time for nothing is another.

    N.B. We all know the game is in a development, but is an open development, this post would be to make the game more fun and avoid some choice would kill it.

    Also who is still playing and want to express his opinion is welcome:)

    Just to clarify. You don't want to hear from anyone that is still playing, correct?

    Weird - Don't we all acknowledge the game is under construction every single time we log in? Crazy.

    We quit about a month and a half ago. It's just not fun. Mostly the loot thing for us. Fight and risk the death penalty for cigarette butts, rusty cans, and wads of chewed gum. I did manage to get a pair of rusty toe nail clippers form a dragon though. My greatest find in the game. They are mine.. MINE!! MINE!!!!!! :mad:

    Seriously though -
    Extremely bad loot
    Huge time sink crafting for semi-rusty daggers
    Wolves, wolves, more wolves, slightly bigger wolves, big wolves, really big wolves
    Poor performance (horrible FPS on a GTX1080 @ 1440x2560)
    No quests (the quests that are there are hard to follow and boring)

    The one thing that they do have working solidly though is the cash shop. Sorry, not interested in the cash shop part of the "game".

    Would play, but can't. I can play Diablo III all day long with minimal lag at low graphics settings, but SotA doesn't play with AMD 5000 series graphics apparently, and the word I have heard is there is no plans to support it despite it being greater than the minimum specs.

    Foothills nerfing is one of the cause if people are leaving.

    - No Farming zone= No IGG
    - No IGG = No Reagents, No Potions, No consumable
    - No Reagents, No Potions, No consumable = No Farming/Pvping
    - No Farming/Pvping = Leaving

    Right now max igg per hour killing mobs is 4k if you're lucky in the right zone, if not around 2k.

    Diablo 3 is not a mmorpg ...I think all can play also Pro Evolution Soccer without lag

    I added also an option for people, who are still playing and think things are good that way. But i want say a thing: Love a game doens't mean you must be blind looking at it, but at least in an open development you must do your best cause you want the game you love will be the best game. The love is blind ofc, but the true love many times need to sacrifice something of yourself for something Greater and bigger then yourself. So if i'm testing a game if i find the skills i'm using are good for me but dungerous for the game i report it, i don't just say: Oh it's all good! Be fair and honest is the first thing to do when you do the tester in an open development.

    A little late for that. Persistence should have been where things are more or less where they are going to be, but we've passed that milestone. Now story complete is the new milestone, and I feel they will probably meet that as well as they did persistence.
    The list of other reasons why we shouldn't even be anywhere near "release" but are barreling towards it anyway is long, and flies in the face of accepting that this is "under construction" as an excuse any more.

    The point of including Diablo III is that DIII uses DX11, just as SotA does. I can play DIII without a problem. I can't play SotA, despite my hardware specs being well beyond minimum spec. Also, SotA is only a few steps beyond DIII as far as any claim to being an MMORPG is concerned, but is far from being such.

    I will respectfully disagree with you. We cannot acknowledge the game we play is still being worked on in one hand and in the other hand be frustrated the game isn't complete....

    You mistake what I'm getting at. I'm not frustrated that it isn't complete. I'm frustrated at the hypocrisy of saying this game is even close to release, while at the same time pointing to things that are not actually features they designed or are barely similar at best as representative of the things they promised to include in the game. One of them will be something they can't even provide to the backers as an achieved stretch goal until the completion of episode 5.

    Bro really, Arma 3 is DX11 too and i'm sure if you get lags in sota u can't launch Arma at all. Sota is not a game for old pc owners, Ultima Online is for that.
    @Chris Developers are working only on perfomance day and night, cause peoples with weird pc are here to give bad performance feedbacks.
    The game are going to **** but why solve gameplay problems when i can work every day on performance? Change your mind guys, or better, change your hardwares...

    PS: 60 Steady fps in 90% of the game maps multiplayer on a laptop.

    Thank you.

    Many of the other options are concerns I share. However, a number of them are well know and I believe the devs are aware of them and taking action as they feel needed. So, I don't see the need to quit playing. That said, a break from the game now and then is never a bad thing. :)

    I don't get lag... I can't play the game AT ALL. Supposedly this is due to them switching to DX11. I was able to play up until this release, when they removed support for DX9 that fixed the problem they created back in R36. I am using a Dell Precision workstation laptop, something designed to work well under a wide variety of graphics applications, including online games. It is hardly a "weird" pc config.

    Irrelevant. If it is beyond the minimum specs, it should work. Period. That is the whole point of setting a minimum specification.

    On my old hp i can't play dayz at all cause DX11, they changed from 10 to 11 in a couple of weeks (I had to upgrade it to my new msi laptop) . Alpha are not good for the final user.

    Anyway no performance problem, but compatibility ;)
