My Mood: Gaming
SammyJay is scurvy dog
Okay, I submitted my bug report and contacted live chat. The person I was assigned to suggested updating my video drivers. I fail to see how this will make a difference. I played fine last night, but all of a sudden my outdated drivers are causing an issue with the game crashing? Doubtful. At this time, the game will freeze shortly after I log in, and then becomes non-responsive. I have to shut the game down through task manager. I give up.

As for the high level mob issue, I can see how that might be encouragement to group with other players, but evidently I've played WOW too long because in this game it doesn't seem like it's a well-implemented feature. A low level player goes out to kill low level mobs and then all of a sudden a high level critter comes out of nowhere and kills them. A player shouldn't have to group up just to go do a simple quest unless it specifically calls for a group.

An example of this is when I was doing the tattoo quest. I sailed to Rumrunner Isle to kill the sand crabs and the scorpions. The sand crabs weren't a problem, although here again I saw mobs my level and then just off to the side I saw mobs twice my level, but when it came time to kill scorpions, I would be attacked suddenly by high level sand crabs that were no where around when I approached the scorpion. This happened everytime I attempted to complete this quest. I think this was a glitch however, because in the few seconds between dying and being sent back to jail, I was able to watch the crabs run way off screen somewhere. They literally came out of nowhere. They were still running off when my load screen came up. I was definitely not in aggro range of those things, but yet right in the middle of attacking a mob, here they came.

In any case, I just paid money to upgrade a game that I can't play now. I just hope I can get my subscription cancelled because I won't pay $10 per month for a game I can't access.
