Is anyone else truly as disgusted as I am at the latest AoHD patch?
1. The game looks like it is in pre-alpha with the new UI, terrible colour scheme and now some of the icons like the tech tree aren't even aligned properly.
2. The font in game makes it hard to tell the difference between 8 and 0 when looking at resources and when you advance an age the age turns black at the top of the screen instead of red, much less visible.
3. The mighty list of known bugs on the release patch notes:
(found here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/221380/d ... 184813511/ )
Including and limited to: "When cancelling while joining a lobby players may still join the lobby (host can still kick them)."
4. The crashes, yes the game managed to randomly crash when I was on the title menu, getting that classic little "Age of Empires II has stopped working" message, a sight for sore eyes indeed.
5. The LAG returns and is stronger than ever! Do you want to play 3v3 with everyone <100 ping? Do not fear! The game is sure to have a 5 second delay to cheer up your day!
On a serious note this is absolutely disgusting that they can even think about releasing this patch, i'm astounded by it. Time and time again they have let down the very community that they claim to be trying to help. I understand that developers have feelings too but if you keep on giving people the same old **** then they won't support you forever.
The fact that they are actually planning to release a new game is even more sickening given the fact that this patch has just gone backwards even more.
What are the thoughts of the rest of the community about the game/patch etc?
