PotCO is in a bad shape...
Hello to ya all...
I came here just to express my disappointment with the game, specially with Disney to allow such a thing to happen... I used to play PotCO on limited access during the Beta due to Disney's policy to only allow, at that time, the North American users to pay (completely ridiculous if ya ask me) The game was awesome, if I am not wrong it had wind influence on the ships at some point, we had pets, we had that awesome Shipwreck Isle, we had tons of clothing, the only part that was quite limited were ships and weapons. Ships are still the same, with no customization at all, except for the names, which can be repeated over and over, so we got like 100 Crimson Wolf ships... Lag problems got worse then they were in beta, with my rig that I can run Age of Conan (the most heavy MMORPG) smoothly on it, I get bizarre lags on PotCO, why? Bad programming with a mediocre engine... Memory leaks are the biggest players on these laggy moments... On scale from 1 to 10 I would give the game potential a grade of 10. But on the quality of it on it's current state I give a 3. The game is fun, but the quests are insanely repetitive and they take hours and hours to be finished, some skills like Take Cover from Sail, are really bad positioned, I mean, those are unbalanced and can give you lots of headache until you can get those essential skills for each skill-tree. Why the hell would I need the tacking speed before Take Cover? Ive also noticed many glitches with the fighting system, like the Blade Storm, or whatever it is called, my attacks should give around 700 dmg based on the numbers coming up from the dmg counter, but the health bar on enemies drops the same amount as I had given 400 dmg, I mean, wth? But aside from technical issues, the game itself, on years of "existence", went on the wrong way of evolution, instead of adding and getting better, it only got worse and worse, the game is as bad as an alpha game project... No, not an alpha, I have exaggerated, but it is only a beta build of some sort, there are too many bugs and too less content then it should have... I like the idea of the game, I am a fun of the movies, but I am also an experienced MMO player, and as a game, for real, PotCO is a shame... I will keep playing, but I doubt I will be able to do that for more then 1 or 2 months... |
