In Darkfall you get 90% Playable gameplay ruined because theres too many little kids in the sandbox with sparse 3-6 month intravels before you get massive updates. Every month or two the devs release a log. Now Xyson isnt at the point of comparing them with adventur. But this is how AV started out and see where there player base is now. Devs cant go from being 100% communication to 0 communication in 72 hours especially on launch day... I think its less frustration that the game isnt working on the day they estimated it being finished but rather the fact that they arent communcating. It seems as if they made their money and ran off to some random resort.
Xsyon Citizen
I've got my share of frustrations about Xsyon, but I haven't seen many other mmo's where the lead dev guy is on the server console chatting with the playerbase to get direct reports of problems and such, or just answering questions about the game mechanics and whatever..
So I can't say I'd complain about communication
We'll see.. we're still technically on day 0, and I've been through some nasty launches that had issues like this last for weeks, months.. years in one case (sure you can guess which one that is heh)
At least we're not getting a DnL style billing fraud thing while trying to play on illigal server code heh
i have to agree with blake, this launch has been better than a lot in the past.. the lag issues are annoying, yes, but take a look at darkfall's launch, there were days when they took the server down for 24 hours. even WoW had a lotta problems on launch, mainly lag problems like this one, no launches are perfect. and i'm still in love with the game despite the lag and lack of combat
