The current environment is different than before. The BW expansion and current state of the game makes me wonder if we are trying to do to much to quickly. CP 2.0 was just released and you’re proposing a monumental adjustment just weeks after release. The new proc meta that is forming in PTS is woefully out of line with the described direction the combat team described. Companions seem rushed and unpolished (why do they needed to be leveled, why is gear so scarce, why is their AI so bad), the oblivion portals aren’t these epic journeys as described in the reveal, they’re face roll easy. Yet another expansion that leaves PVP with little incentive to purchase. Endeavors seem to be way over tuned (30 WBs a week, 30 PD Group Events a week) Those aren’t natural efforts. And lastly but most certainly not least it appears that all of this happening at once has left you unable or unwilling to address bugs and issue plaguing the game. 6 weeks to address the UI issue affecting the console community. Extended maintenance cycles 3 patches in a row. Next to no communication or responses from the teams or community managers. Perhaps we need to slow down. It would appear you are trying to juggle too many things at once and they are all suffering. Perhaps you need to consider delaying BW, perhaps refocus on the stability improvements discussed last year and focus on optimizing the game.
I have faithfully logged almost daily for 5 years and I am at the point I can’t be bothered. CP is meaningless, I can’t be bothered to try and sell anything, group finder is always a 20-30 min queue for DD, furnishings may or may not disappear, COD trades may or may not go through with out issue. Banks deposits are as risky as ever. We all love new content and areas to explore but I think most if not all want a game that is stable, reliable, and functional first. This is the first chapter that I’m passing on, I don’t feel comfortable or confident that anything will different come June 8th, in fact current events have conditioned me to expect the opposite. You need to do better, hit pause, fix the game.
