I played a lot today. Didn't have to work so...what the heck. The more I played, the more I realized just how not-ready-for-primetime this update truly is.
Today was laggy, buggy and glitchy. Animations were off and weapons performed oddly. Drops were found, collected and then just evaporated, never making it into the inventory.
Big glitches are so obvious that I am not sure if I even want to bother with some smaller ones. For example: I got a really AWESOME Pirate Blunderbuss. Attack score of something like 68. It has a breaker bonus called Stun Shot and it gives a +2 bonus on Take Aim and a +1 bonus on something else.
I loaded this monster with Silver Shot, Pointed it at General Sandspine in the Rats Nest, took aim and BOOM! It did 5900 points of damage. That is not a typo. Five Thousand nine hundred points of damage. But it has a bug. That Take Aim bonus? It is actually applied to Venom Shot. Is this a big deal? Does anyone need to know? But it IS why we test...isn't it?
I have gained back just about all the progress I lost in the last reset. I know we are testers and that it is important but the Resets are a morale killer. I don't want to lose my new BFG.
I like it. But I will probably report the bug anyway. And the one with Fire Skull and the one where the stumps don't move, and the lag and the messed up animations and the freezing and the random boots...
I am not doing it because I am mean. But to not do it? Now THAT would be mean.
