Tripwire have a good connection with the playerbase but DAMN i haven't seen so much whine and anger in a long time on Steam Forums lol. Each thread = REFUUUND FAK THIS PIECEOF CRAP! ITS SO SLOOOW AND BUGSSS!!! RAGEEEE
don't you think a consumer has the right to complain about the product they purchased if it's not working as intended/should be? There is a fine line between complaining without a legitimate reason and complaining with one. Games, when released, should at the very least work with some mediocum of stability. And it's the apologists that allow for continued release of slipshod half assed jobs that barely pass for a beta. Let's be realistic; expecting optimization of a game to be complete is hardly setting the bar high. When a game comes out with terrible frame lag and littered with a plethora of bugs, I say they are completely in the right to ask for a refund (even though they will never get it).
complaining for the sake of complaining is just annoying, I agree..
To everyone -
When it comes to mods you have to lower the expectations, clearly, but...... As a new player it's just so frustrating to run around completely ineffective regardless of what equipment you have. I don't give up easily so I'll keep plugging away until I get to a level where I can compete... But most people don't have that patience and long term success will depend on attracting and keeping new players. If you can accomplish this without dumbing down the game play then I say any and all questions of balance should be at least tested out before they are dismissed out right.
The servers I play on it's just people of high levels running around in their underwear one shotting people.
