So let me start off with answering maybe some of the brethrens out there wondering about what I will discuss about.
This is the game site (CONTINENT SPECIFIC)., and I will discuss about what I am truly dissatisfied about the game as well as the devs.
"RANT YE SAY? WELL DIZ IZ NOT FACEBOOK YE IDIOT!" Well this subreddit
is my Facebook, the one I gained my joy and happiness, and I can (hopefully) avoid any butthurt 13 year-old racist
cashers trying to defend this piece of a broken code from a supposed shutdown.
So what am I angry about?
It's about how poorly maintained this game is (plus the support). I've played this game for SIX YEARS, from my Pentium 3 PC, then an AMD 64 until now an i5 GT640 piece-of-an-artwork. In those 6 years, my face shaped more frown than smile.
From the start the game is okay, at least early versions of it is
kinda stable in terms of how it runs and how the multiplayer works. The playerbase, SEA only reaches 2 million, heck of a number right there. But now it is dire, so dire even micro-transactions (involves online cash) bugs happens too oftenly, players actually lose money because of that (only few
so far that I can see requests a refund).
As a start, this game has no (or lacking) learning curve and learning space for new players whatsoever.The newcomers are supposed to just get a K/D of 0/75 to even start
investing playing this game. Furthermore, the number of secondary accounts is immensely high. What causes it? If you create an account (so dang easy people abuses it), you are given a RECRUIT rank, that means you can enter a beginners room where JUST THE NEW ONES want to learn. Nope, it's no way near that, these fake accounts are far far skilled players just to shrekt the newbs, even if Dendi played this game he will get rekt by a 14 year-old cybercafe lurker.
The current majority who
invests literally their parents' money right now in play this game is kids and teens aged from 9-17 and I see this very concerning for the young'uns. Now I'm not trying to be an Asian father right here as I am pointing to the game's vulnerability to this kind of bugs. What am I trying to say? It is when the company's account already received the fund, but the exchange for that ingame currency is bugged, making the transactions not registering into the game's currency
(ELI5 ver: you pay $20 for 4000 goldcoins ingame, the money is deposited, but you still don't get your 4K goldcoins) thus players feel cheated. Of course you can ask a refund but how many of it can while majority of it still in school trembling whether to use past tense or not to use one?
Next I'm pointing to the devs.
PLEASE FIX THE BUGS!!. Continuation to the previous paragraph, this game is a glitchhole. The amount of trippy/glitchy maps presented in this game is UNCOUNTABLE, although patched at this point, man this game is so vulnerable. And we come to the
motherfucking hackers. I consider this thing serious as it implies both company and players. The tool they use to refrain these exploits
hacktools or trainers, I should say (supposedly work like a VAC wall) is
weak, really weak (seriously 7 years of service and no improvement at all?). This game is relatively easy to be exploited by the disassemblers/crackers out there. How is it not improving? Suppose one exploit is patched, then came another exploit (lets say: goldcoin hack) , they patched it, suddenly the old exploit worked back? Is that what you call "ant-hack wall"? It keeps reoccurring and reoccurring until we felt that the devs is not doing their work. Well what they do? They did something, that is adding more guns, GUNS, GUNS,
OP GUNS. How do you acquire such gun? By
PAYING them cash for technically
just renting the guns for a few moments, then it expires,
"NEWB, BUY WITH UR CASH LA, POOR DOG" . Absolute genius way to farm cash, GG devs.
After one time the previous publishing host had the license to Vertigo Games expired (more on
here) or may I quote:
"In August 2015, Garena announced that BlackShot Online will be shut down on midnight 1 September, being unable to renew the distribution license, as a result, all game distribution rights were returned to Vertigo Games, in which set up PlayOne Asia to handle the game distribution." Source: Wikipedia
...in our minds we hope all the flaws is solved, with the new publishing base and stuffs.
Nope. They did it again. Farming parents' money, school scholarships and anything that's worth a fortune.
Exactly the same as the old, add more content, leave the bugs behind, let the hackers invade the server, get DDoS'ed, yay....
At this point, I don't know who to blame. Vertigo? Devs? And also at this point you may think I look like a nosy dad trying to figure out where my wages gone? But in truth, this pulls them away from PCs. Some that I know that quits Blackshot is now a diehard console player, and what they thought was PC games are poorly maintained, because of the publisher's unheard-of company name, rather than Microsoft, or Sony.
"WELL ITZ MICROSOFT I FEEL SAFER, NOT SOME ASIAN NOOB GAMEMAKERZ WHO SUCKS MONEY!" But then someone who his/her eyes is sharp enough to read my flair will counterback my post with "THEN WHY DO YOU PLAY WARFRAME?!? ITS LITERALLY THE SAME SHIT!" , no, absolutely not. Warframe is a PvE game, you can swiftly progress the game with absolutely zero cent.
Let me know your reactions. If my post is irrelevant, if I made a mistake (grammar or factual), or you feel like my wall of text is total bullshit, freely comment it down here and with an open heart I will accept it.
TL;DR : Bad devs poorly maintaining their game because there's full of hackers and bugs, yet they're netting more cash by adding more paid content to trap mindless spenders.
TL;DR TL;DR: The long version of P2W.
