    I’m fine with them putting out more crates, I’m fine with PvP scenarios being scuffed and needing time to polish…. But what NEEDS to be fixed is the lag and server issues… That’s what will kill the game for myself and I’m sure many others. You can only tolerate the poor sever performance for so long

    I've got almost 400 hours in this game bc there is so much to love about it, but if they continue this **** with the loot crates, I hope the game fails.
    I have only ever said that about maybe 1 or 2 other games in my 35 years of gaming, so I don't say it lightly.
    The light forge loot crates are flat out predatory and an absolute sh*t practice. "Cosmetics only bro, go cry poor guy" I DGAF if they are cosmetic or not.
    The prices for outright purchasing things like skins and GLASS PACKS is outrageously expensive already, yet I have no issues with those bc I know what I want and can pay an agreed upon price to get it.
    Gambling should have no place whatsoever in video games, and this is hands down the most egregious display of gambling mechanics in a game, knowing that gambling addiction is real. They throw in the little messaging telling you to "Please spend responsibly" LOL.. Go F yourself, Starry Night 🙃

    • @Travis6414
      @Travis6414 2 месяца назад +2

      I couldn't agree more with your take on the Light Forge loot crates. Your 400 hours of experience gives real weight to your criticism. I myself have 700 hrs in Once Human which is very rare for me to have them many hours in a PVE game, That's about the same amount of hours I have in OverWatch, a game I've been playing for many years. You're absolutely right that the "it's just cosmetics" argument completely misses the point. The predatory nature of gambling mechanics in games is the real issue, regardless of what's being gambled for.
      The comparison to the direct purchase option is spot-on too. Paying a set price for a specific item is fine - that's just a normal transaction. But these loot crates are designed to manipulate people into spending far more than they intend to.
      That "Please spend responsibly" message is especially galling. It's a weak attempt to shift blame onto the players while still exploiting those vulnerable to gambling addiction. Games should be entertaining, not potentially life-ruining.
      It's sad to see a game with so much potential go down this road. I hope the developers take criticism like yours seriously and reconsider this practice. Otherwise, they risk alienating their most dedicated players and tarnishing their reputation in the long run.

    One aspect of lightforge I controversially like is the frequency. Because I still have relic tokens from picking up the Pyro glide, and have been enjoying browsing the new collections every two weeks and using some up on small extra items like the fireplace. It might just be me, but the relic tokens are quite good and make the original cost of the Pyro Glide and associated duplicates feel better for me now. There’s no point complaining about this, Netease will keep doing them and clearly they’re doing well enough to not care about community complaints.

    I took a month break when I went travelling in September and when I came back, there was a lot worse lag than before, people exploiting in the new pvp servers and a ton more gambling cosmetics added to the game.
    The only purchase that I made was the glass house wallpaper but if they don’t address any of these issues before the next season, I’m out.

    Something funny. Everyone hates this crate system and says it's killing the game etc but fun fact.. What is one of the most populour games on steam? CSGO. What is there monetization? You buy a key open a crate and get a chance at a cosmetic item and a very low chance at a really rare knife and have to spend hundreds or thousands for the chance at one.
    CSGO: Buy a key open a crate get cosmetic item very low chance at a super rare knife.
    OH: Buy gems open the crate get cosmetic item with a very low chance at a vehicle skin.
    Literally the same damn concept but because CS Crates was hyped up by content creators everyone ignores this and from literally one of the most populour games on steam but wants to hate once human for having literally the same monetization model.
    Oh and before anyone says "oh but it's different you can re sell the skins/knife." oh OK so one human should do what CSGO does and turn it into real gambling since people start opening crates with the intention to make profit not just win items in a game to keep and then stop when they have what they want? You want to encourage them to keep buying more and more and more with the intent to try and win profit?

    I don't mind the loot crate really. It's just cosmetics but the most important issue is the lag. They decided to make another stupid cosmetics before fixing the lag is just not good advertising. If they announce "oh there's gonna be a big patch for fixing lag issues and optimizing" and secretly smuggling in another 600$ loot crate no one would give a sh*t about it and would focus on the fix and everyone will praise them for actually listening and addressing the issue without noticing about another money grabber in the store (which won't take long for a whale to take the bait)

      you realize that when the game was released we were at 120k during the day and 150k at night. Losing 50k players in 3 months after having the game downloaded 10 million times is terrible for an mmo. The only reason why there chart looks so good is because of how they release content. If they keep screwing over the player base by not listening to them and punishing people that shouldn't be punished. Like there bug there system had with giving out crystigin to player then saying the player were exploiting it which was not the case. This is what is wrong with the dev's they are trying to push lootcrates instead of just selling skins straight even if the skins are on the expensive side. They also never actually address what the players are actually asking for. Have you seen how bad the new PVP mode is. It is so unbalanced due to there lack of testing and just trying to push broken game modes out a lot of players are loosing interest in the game and most those players will not be back even though they said they will. This is how gamers work. I love this game and hate seeing it not listening to the community as a whole. The Update on the 10 will brake tons of things like their maintenance always does like they have AI writing code for them then they just patch it up as we the players tell them what is wrong. They brag about making 110 million dollars in the first month and half before lootcrates were even a thing and they still pushed out lootcrates. If they do not change there ways and start actually listening this game will fail with in a year. I personally have probably close to 2000 hours in this game since CBT2 and it is really hard for me to play the game at this point because they do not care about what we are telling them at all and do not want to make the game a great game they just see money signs is all they see which is terrible.

    everyone is angry about cosmetics, and this makes me laugh because they don't think about how expensive it is to maintain the server and pay the salaries of the staff, remember this is a free game, that's why they provide in-game transactions, because it is to help the developer to pay the staff and servers, and also to help fix server problems, remember this is a free game if there is a problem on the server then you have to remember this is free, if you still complain, go away don't play this game. Remember, this is a Netease game where if you don't contribute then the game won't last long.

      I agree. I have spent cash on cosmetics, and I think they did a fabulous job with their cosmetics. The game is free, but bills need to be paid. Another compliment is the fact that the game tried hard not to be a pay to win game. I do agree that lag is the biggest problem for the servers. But if people don't want to buy loot boxes or cosmetics, they can still play and enjoy the game. I also respect how they compensate in the mailbox. 🎉❤

      Dude. They have had how many $300-600 lootcrates and how many skins? I haven’t seen a single person rocking no skin since the first week and I’ve seen numerous car skins.
      To think they haven’t made an absolute killing from this game especially during launch month, and that all their money is suspended already to give us what we have is a joke. There are developers who give far more for much less, with a game that actually operates how it’s intended. Half the time it feels like the dev’s don’t even know their own intent.
      This game is hot fucking garbage on my radar, wasted 600hours and $500 hoping they’d fix issues.
      It’s been 3-4 months since release and we are just getting to new content. Which so far has brought massive bugs and instability that hasn’t been fixed for weeks at this point.
      But hey, new cosmetics to spend money on again! Has nothing to do with who has money and who doesn’t. Only true “brokies” think like this. 🚫🧠
