Hello everyone, so i'm going to try to be perfectly clear and straight-forward with this message, i just hope that you all read it, i do not care of anyone's opinion on this matter nor what you think of me.
This is just me, sharing my experience on this server, explaining my point of view about the current state of this server, and how i see the future.
_____________________________________________
I have been playing this server since July 2016, i have went through every patches, from kid without TLQ to this day, i have missed a few months there and there because i got fed up eventually, but for the time i've spent here, i have always did my best to test and report anything i would find, i used to have my own thread with pages and pages of bugs report, i would try my best to report bugs personally to the staff, and eventually Daneos himself.
Long story short, i have been devoted to this server for pretty much its entire length and i still am to this day.
I have been faithful in Daneos from the first day i played here, and i've always been, and i still am, don't get me wrong, but it is from this experience that i do believe that the Beta start will be a failure.
My reason for this is the amount of bugs that needs to be fixed within such a short period (we only have 1 month left); these bugs include gamebreaking ones, like KD not working properly which ruins the core gameplay of a very good class <Swordman>, and also ruins many "strategies" and possibilities in PvP.
This bug is simply the targets getting teleported back to their pre-KD position, if they get stunned (or receive any form of hard CC) right after getting up from a KD.
This bug, is basically the server not "refreshing" the current position of the KD's person, thus believing that his position is actually pre-KD.
I have reported this bug months ago, it has been here for a long time, but it's still not fixed.
Another major bug is with the Confusion state.
This bug is basically; if you were to get KD's during confusion, but the confusion ends, your character will stop on the spot, even if it is flying due to a KD, and creating a visual bug which will make your opponent and anyone else think that you're out, when in reality you are actually running around. (here is a preview of this bug) :
and in the same video :There are many more gamebreaking bugs, but the one that set me off today was the very frequent crashes that ALWAYS happens.
Today, many parties crashed, mine did aswell, and champions did, too, as well as my friends; here are some previews :
forum.dboglobal.to/wsc/index.php?attachment/12599/forum.dboglobal.to/wsc/index.php?attachment/12600/
And then in the finals, there was ANOTHER gamebreaking bug which made CeStory untargetable (or was it me that got bugged for some reason ?)
forum.dboglobal.to/wsc/index.php?attachment/12601/
As you can see here, CeStory is not during a HTB (which was my first speculation on this) and i am not stunned/spell locked.
On top of that, my other speculation was that i may have gotten KD bug (you get KD but somehow can still walk), but as you can see in the video, i have not taken any damage from the KD of G2, which excludes this theory aswell.
__________________________________________________________________
All in all, i would say that i am pissed about what happened, not just because i am very competitive, but rather because i was literally powerless on this situation, this comes down to crashes/bugs, there is nothing that we, players, can do about it, this is not just my, it was my friends party (showbuff secret purehearted etc), champions too as Ayner crashed, and this is always happening, every budokai you will hear about crashes / bugs.
But this is expected as it is a pre-beta, and i understand it, but now we have to think about the future;
Beta is in 1 month, crashes/bugs happen every budokai, dojo war...
And on top of that, there are many minor issues, as well as balancing issues that will be added to the discussion eventually, and we only have 1 month.
If Daneos somehow cannot fix all these issues by the opening of the "official" Beta, it might very well be a failure, at first.
