I understand BSG getting a little defensive, or more than a little even, about certain aspects of their game – after all, they've managed to create one of the most singularly immersive, exceptional, and truly unique and rewarding games out there. After hundreds of hours, I'm still throwing my hands up in the air at the end of a solid, successful raid.
And there are aspects of EFT that I think are highly underrated – the audio gets a lot of flak, and yeah, the vertical attenuation is horrible and needs fixing – but aside from verticality and indoor/outdoor attenuation, I truly love this game's audio. It's impactful where it needs to be, ambient sounds are excellent, comtac implementation is really impressive, and so on.
But the servers. And no, I'm not just talking about wait times.
Right after the stream today, I died in Factory because at the moment I opened the office door I froze for a full two seconds, and when the stutter had passed, I had already taken a quarter mag between the eyes.
Two raids later, I get a bug where my entire stash is visible in raid. I can't crouch or fire my gun. And to top it all off, my FPS steadily dropped until it was about 5-10, truly a slideshow (first time I've gotten this weird memory leak bug).
Servers are a shitshow. We all know that. We appreciate the hard work BSG does, we truly do. But c'mon. They shouldn't just call complaints fake news and move on like that.
Will stutters ever be fixed, also? Haven't they been in the game since… forever?
