This Game Is a Waste of Time
« on: March 26, 2010, 11:27:43 pm »

Okay, I've given it several tries, and even got to level 6 before the wipe. But starting fresh again, I either have the WORST luck or this game is just TRULY A WASTE OF TIME.


I log in today, after giving up all day yesterday from frustration, only to walk ONE tile over, and get attacked by 7 geckos. suddenly, I'm having that goddamn "running lag" problem, and it prevents me from escaping.

FINE. I'll wait the minute and try again.


...Until I realized they spawned me all the way at the top of the map, far from anything I had already discovered. So that's.. what? Another 10 minutes of getting back to the cities I know, with the probability of getting killed along the way and spawned in a completely OTHER part of the map?


Really. You've gotta be kidding me.
So to add to all the cooldown complaints that there are floating around on these forums, I just wanna say the cooldown times are BS, and I thought World of Warcrack was a waste of time... But this? This is just crap.

The idea and the potential is so magnificent, but when it comes down to sitting there, playing this game, you realize you've been playing for 4 hours, and haven't really accomplished much.


At least, that's how it feels for me.


So... <3 to all the devs, but peace the f$#k out everyone.

Luna, such thoughts crossed my mind many times.
But seriously, what did you expected from the FOnline?

Now inb4 wasteland is harsh, players being demotivating...
The game is now about giving betatesting and feedback.
Luna, being pissed off by gameplay IS a feedback. Now it's up to devs to take note of it. Do they do it actually? I guess they do.

It's up to us players either wait for changes being implemented or start playing somewhat else.
So, if you're annoyed, take something against the swelling feeling of bile in your stomach, say something like "fuck this shit", make a pause, take a deep breath and maybe come later.

She's definitely fighting encounters in real time. Too bad that she started to cry instead of asking if there is any possibility to avoid lag problem.

Anyway, my dear lady. There is a solution for your problems. go into FOnline folder and open FOnline configurator. Head into "combat" and in "default combat mode" select turn based. It's way easier to fight in that mode. Longer, but more worthy ;] And lag-death-free.

and even got to level 6 before the wipe
explains everything about this to me. Maybe its just me, but i dont get it whats with the frequent dieing at starts. Since i recreated my char (around 9 8 hours ago) ive crawled to lvl 6 while not dieing even once. I guess i wouldn't understand these kind of topics.

You're right, I am whining, bitching, complaining and moaning.

And perhaps I will try again one day, maybe even go fully turn-based... based on your guys' feedback.

But...



In the end, all I'm truly saying is that this game is not any fun for me to play right now and I'm more frustrated than entertained.

If you don't like my complaints, you don't have to read. :) But what are forums for, but to give your opinion on certain matters.

Everyone who has ever said "wasteland is harsh" should be shot in the face.

Click on options in the startup program and go to turn based... Game play is slower but I die a LOT less.

Oh man that is all kinds of hilarious. We should probably write it down and repeat it so often and in so many situations it totally loses all meaning.

That would be just super.

Hello Kitty is great, I tested it. Feels just a bit gay, every now and then.

Just want to thank Cheetah for being a sweetheart, in-game.


Gives me a bit more faith that not everyone's out to discourage new players *coughcough*
