First of all, the obligatory I love Orbus, great work, yada yada.
Now then, on to business, here is a short list of things that can severely turn off current and new players:
The crashes: Oh my god the crashes, like 3-4 times every hour, absolutely infuriating especially when you are fighting a dungeon boss and you are the tankā¦ Seems to happen mostly when the game needs to āloadā like entering a new zone or flying on the airship.
Night time: questing at night sucks, itās hard to see and itās just plain depressing, please for the love of god, make night times shorter. Everyone I talk to in game hates it as much as I do. If there are quests/mobs that are dependent on night time, then you need to revise those since they are not worth bringing down the overall enjoyment of the game for all players.
Thunder sound FX: Its WAY to loud, we should not have to bring down the ambient FX to fix this since it brings down all ambient noise just because of a single sound FX that is simply way to loud. Also, make it so it cannot thunder on nice sunny days with bright blue skies and no clouds, feels like a bug.
Walkable areas missed: this happens 40-50 times every time I play and it is infuriating. I get āstuckā because the walkable area or should I say āpaintableā area on the ground was not done properly, case and point the first house on the left when you enter guild city, there is a huge gap on the ground and everyone always get stuck there, then you have to use teleport to get out.
Inventory tooltip: It is really hard to make your finger touch that exact pixel it needs so the tooltip appears for the item you are trying to get information on. Make it easier for the tooltip to appear.
Potions and Lures: can we have icons for the potions instead of the ā?ā also once a lure is created can it not have a more representative icon graphic of what it is based on its content?
In game movies: very underwhelming to say the least but you could easily fix that by making the screen huge, you know movie theater style.
Airship flying: This is a big one for me because I LOVE the airship. Can you make it fly normal? And by that I mean make it fly like itās not having an epileptic seizure every second? The first time I saw it after purchasing the game my āholy shit wowā moment was destroyed when I saw it fly like a spastic monkey on crack. Seriously, I almost refunded after seeing that airship fly.
Edit: Update I have tried the -connectws at launch options last night and it has not crashed in over 3 hours of playtime! It does however seem to make things lag a bit more? (never had a high latency message before, now they happen frequently, could be a server issue?) I tested and made sure my ISP speeds still rocked 60dl/15up so I know I am good.
