I've stopped playing since a week now and I haven't felt the urge of wanting to start it up anymore. I did twice and immediately shut it down again. I'm 100% not interested in playing any other faction and after the last few weeks of tryharding fighting for the Orks I've given up. You raise good points, unfortunately not many listen or care.
This game is everything but fine. Even without the arguments OP raises this game still isn't anywhere near fine. I don't know about you but EC runs like complete utter garbage for me. Anything more than 10 to 15 players on the server and the game runs like garbage. Everything about this game could have dissapointed me and blame would totally be on myself for putting money in before even alpha came up. But performance being this bad is not why I put my money in for. A game that runs like garbage plays like garbage and thus sadly (at least for the time being) is garbage.
My experience has varied greatly depending on what time I play. Try playing at another time? You might find the game completely different. When it works as it is supposed to, even with the bugs it is a joy to play. I had this earlier today, just as I was about to have a break from the game I get a server with absolutely no lag, slowdowns and have a few great games wrecking SM. Even as they spam JPAs and swords and hit me through clangs, I still punished them. Reminded me why I played the game in the first place. I must have executed 20 marines in 4 games. Minimum. Wiff da Klaw XD
Orks were border line unplayable last patch. But now they tweaked our animations, got our super stickbombs proper aoe and nerfed melta so our Rokkit launcha is comparable as AV weapon. Melee combat still need balancing but we are not nerfed to the ground anymore. We can fight back and we can win. Main problem now is melee combat in general and broken matchmaking that allows game to start with 15 members on 1 side and 4 on the other. Not to mention when you join games that are lost already as they started as empty and you find your self as defender on full captured map with all time bonuses claimed and progress bar over half filled.
You're absolutely right on this. I've had the same experience about one or two months ago while I was playing through the night. I think I started around 23:00 and gamed on till at least 07:00 and somewhere between 02:00 and 06:00 the game was running super smoothly and I was having the best time I've ever had playing EC. I didn't bother if we lost or won or anything because now it wasn't due to performance jumping up or down or things killing me with a mere few shots or getting shot behind a wall or only a flash without the sound, etc. Suddenly gameplay didn't feel all bullshit. But I also did notice there were very few players in matches somewhere between those hours and pas 06:00 I noticed more players getting in and within 3 matches the bullshit was back again. I have not played much around those hours again but it was clear EC is a much, much more enjoyable game without all that lag even with the occasional bugs. So I really get your point and you are right. But the game isn't enjoyable for me at all unless I game in those few hours before sunrise, which I'd love to do but obviously just isn't possible every day. Not even maybe once every two weeks. Devs should really be working on this so everyone with at least a 'good enough' rig can play this game, instead of adding content which is only something worth to the ones that already can.
Coming from a tactical player that has such an experience against Orks, I can say that your ranged units are particularly easy to kill, and most of your melee units just don't know what they're doing. Not sure if UP or L2P issue.
We seemed to know what we were doing when the majority of our players were slaughtering you in melee a few patches ago. Remember? Like just over a week ago when all you tacticals were crying that we were broken OP and that you needed a buff. Get out with the l2p bullshit. Yea I live in the UK and for me between the hours of 9 in the morning and 5pm it's smooth as butter. Ironically it's in the peak times here where the game starts to mess up and become awful. It's got to be something to do with how the servers are coping with the throughput of players if it's tied to player numbers as we both seem to think right?
