View Full Version : Heres a suggestion: Rollback to a stable and playable game
I am sure many of us want to see our friends come back that couldn't play anymore when you switched to an interim solution that prevented most people that weren't on Windows 64bit.
But there is no point in implementing the worst early-alpha solution I've seen and call it the production code.
Please can we have a roll-back to pre-Unity. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
That's what I said before. What's the point introducing something which nobody can play in order to save those few who could not play before?
It doesn't feel like there was any progress made on the test server since the first unity release and now that broken version has been made live?
The game is completely unplayable for me with the current unity client, most the menus don't show up properly and the constant zone refreshes mean the game is not responsive the majority of the time.
I get the impression the devs were caught with their pants down with flash being disabled. They had a good opportunity to rebuild the game properly with unity, but instead all they seem to have done is copy and pasted the actionscript code and then done minimal modifications so the game manages to load.
Games like Factorio and Satisfactory do a really good job of interacting with the community on getting bugs sorted and their deveopment teams aren't big.
I'm, a level 80 player. Like this the game is unplayable. Pls roll back.

3+ years is plenty time to pull your pants up. Flash demise was a surprise to no one, neither is the lack of engagement and delivery of garbage.

I'm happy that there is finally version which doesn't require installation, so I'm able to play the game on computers where I don't have option to install anything.
But this benefit doesn't equalize this terrible gameplay experience with Unity version I have right now.
Please let us use "client" version till time you improve response and loading times of Unity version.
Right, after giving it a few more tries and a few thoughts I support this. Return flash client back and run it simultaneously until Unity works at least a little. It's not that hard to do.
I have no emails in inbox, Star menu is unserviceable, chat is on & off, can't copy & paste text from chat anymore, as a Guild leader I cannot sort members by active/inactive or GQ done, takes ages to go to addies, some buildings show they can be upgraded whereas in fact they are fully upgraded, game freezes constantly, hovering mouse cursor doesn't give production time left anymore, online indicators are gone.. I could continue for a long time.
I have never ever complained about the game in Forum, but this Unity version really takes the biscuit. Please, we want the Client back, what does it cost to still be able to play with a Client -- as before? I'm sure BB Devs have worked a lot on this Unity-based game, and it does look nice -- particularly the Pathfinder Quests List, and the Mayor's House inventory. Pity it is also unplayable.
#ClientBack
Yes please - This is the nightmare we all feared- all the issues from test not sorted.
and make the chat text size either larger or adjustable please.
yep, no other way than back to client. shame on you BB
As someone who had minimal problems with the Client, I was not looking forward to Unity. So far I have found it almost unusable - painfully slow to load, very hard on my eyes, I have to scroll to see explorer rewards, all sorts of weird effects etc etc. I'm sure other players have listed the problems in detail. I expect the odd hiccup but this feels like something which is still in development mode. As someone who was a professional tester for much of my career in IT, I would have been ashamed to pass an application in the state TSO seems to be under Unity.
Let's all write in Help and Global Chats >> #ClientBack

There will be no emergency maintenance as this is not a "server problem" but an apparent bug.
A bug has to be found first and then fixed, we're not there yet. Should anything change in that, we would announce it.
A rollback is also not technically possible, that was a path in only one direction (currently).
I understand the displeasure, but will close this topic here as we already have a "Unity Feedback" topic. There you can write down your criticism. Many topics with the same content currently make processing difficult for us, feedback and, above all, also slow down bug fixes. So please understand. Kind

I other words, it is *our* fault for complaining about bugs they didn't fix on test despite us reporting them and bringing them to live that is the problem here.

And why should we keep bothering to do so ??
So far the bug reports did not really make any impression at all - they did not fix any of them - they are still there,- they was reported several month ago. It is an insult to ask people to keep doing it . when clearly they don't care to fix any of it.

In case there is no one with a bit of economic understanding at BB (which seems to be the case, because this would not have happened otherwise): My guess is that your revenue from selling gems has essentially fallen to zero, because no one will invest into a game they cannot expect to play entertainingly for quite some time into the future. As long as the game stays like this, revenue from selling gems will remain at zero. The longer you wait with reverting to the client, the more people will lose trust that an investment into gems is worthwhile, and hence the longer the slump in revenue will be. If you want to minimize your losses, revert to the client immediately. Also: admit that this was a mistake and apologize to the players. This is a trust issue, so you have to try as much as possible to regain at least some of trust that you lost with this completely messed up release. Your revenue depends on it. This is important: I am not expecting you to do this, because you should be nice to the gamers. I am not counting on benevolence. I am expecting you to do this, because you want (and need) revenue. Revenue will not be forthcoming without it.
guess better to stop playing till things are back to normal
Totally agree, do something BB PLEASE
The game is sooooo slow and is almost unplayable. I keep getting pop ups that say ask admin to increase space available.......well, I'm asking.
I am not a happy player at the moment :-(
Before i am done with the maintenance of my geo's , explorers and island buildings i have 'lost' so much time i don't feel like playing and logg off
+1 for roll back
but they probably wont because i bet it cost them money per month to run that client ie they had to pay whoever publishes it/owns it/whatever
i vote the same... rollback
They had a good opportunity to rebuild the game properly with unity, but instead all they seem to have done is copy and pasted the actionscript code and then done minimal modifications so the game manages to load.
I know, right!
It's like they copy and pasted some old code from 10 years ago, put in a bit of new artwork, and never bothered to add any Adventure Tales to the loot.
Oh... wait...

not going to risk damaging my laptop to playing this, its using too much resources, my gpu is very high, my laptop feels like its burning, my battery drains in 20 minutes, its not an enjoyment to play, i feel pity for the newbies that purchased Gems in over the last event, to end up with this crap game.
