Its not the most positive vid, but its the truth, and it needs to be aired...

I have seen him go on a whining spree when he can't beat 5 people solo. He is not the person to talk about this.

He whines (like most of us) when losing against lag, not when dying against 5 people. Losing against 1, 5 or 10 is not a problem as long as it is deserved, the problem is when you lose for something that it isn't your fault at all.

idk

nvm

Exactly. In general I'm not easy to kill but when I spam skill and potion and nothing fires, when I try to roll or break free with full stamina but nothing happens it's pretty sad. I have no issues with dying to better opponent, but when I die because of game malfunctions...

nice guys keep blaming the lag for losing in pvp, as in the person trying to kill you doesn't have lag. It is pretty fair imo

Meanwhile, as streamers and 'influencers' increasingly rely on these tactics, stirring rage and controversy and click baiting self promotion, and receive tens of thousands of dollars of sponsorship from big companies, people like addon authors who arguably contribute far more to the value of the product, who silently soldier on without interest or time to devote to self promotion on the side, are continually ignored for DECADES by the BILLIONAIRE companies that profit off them, not even offered so much as an occasional pixel peanut.

Conclusion: This society values vanity above substance. Because this society is BROKEN.

People can say people are just 'doing what they have to do' but that is a lie. No one is required to be greedy. Or selfish.

It is not to say that no streamers or influencers generate value, because they do. I myself benefit from many good ones like Alcast for example, who makes a TON of helpful content, and he seems like a relatively humble and well-adjusted guy. But increasingly, that "value" is in the eye of the beholder, and what people are conditioned to value is rage-filled click-baity controversy stirring opportunism and self serving gaming of the system for personal gain.

Not to disparage the OP or the video which is not really an example of this, but I don't think you need to go far to find plenty.

What's an add on?

Genuine question from a PS4 player wondering why I should care.

I've seen a couple videos like this recently from some of the streamers and it is disheartening to say the least. I've experienced all of the same performance problems since they started (long before the population bump) and have had plenty of posts here concerning them deleted for a variety of reasons, so I can definitely agree with the message this guy's sending.

The thing is, none of us want to watch it go down like this. We all care enough about this game to come here and speak our minds about the experiences we're having. If it wasn't so broke, we'd be playing instead! It did work before...not perfectly, but not nearly as bad as it's currently become. I had a decent time during the Midyear Mayhem event but it's completely deteriorated since then. It is "unplayable" bad and It really doesn't help when feedback or criticism about it, however nasty and frustrated it may sound to some, is ignored, denied and/or straight up deleted.

That is not building trust with your customers. Apparently that doesn't matters though so might as well just delete this one too.
