Fix official servers crashing every in game day

[Vinja]

So you can give a "pre emptive warning" over nothing but can't simply acknowledge that your broken game is broken and let people know you're working on a fix. 

You guys are a joke of a team. You've changed klei, and not in a good way. 

[loonreaper]

Still no Wortox control updates? It's so basic and fundamental to his play that I'm shocked it wasn't an area of focus during the beta. How are people kiting with Wortox's teleportation right now if it's at a fixed MAXIMUM distance between hopping? At least add a manual setting where you can pick "short", "medium", "long" as options for hopping. This would be infinitely better than what we have now.

Yeah, pretty upsetting that the skill tree is so heavily based on his teleport while it's so imbalance. I brought this up at the start of beta, but this has been an issue since he came out. They have had years to improve this, it really should have been discussed internally by the team developing him.

During the beta, I tagged Jessie asking him to try out the teleport on console after outlining the numerous inconsistencies between systems. In the beta update post following my request, we got verification that they are aware of there issue, and that they are working on a fix. They planned on changing PC control's controls to match console before changing both. It's really hard to give them points for this to me. Again, this isn't a new issue. It's unrealistic to expect the devs to have encyclopedic knowledge of their game, but we're talking about his default controls here. You can identify the issues on a day 1 world with only a little bit of basic awareness of the mechanics of the game.

If they were unaware of the problems, they're designing a skill tree for a character they didn't understand. If they were aware, and didn't fix it, that feels like a pretty cheap jab at console players. No other character's skill tree suffers from a balance gap based on what you play on. They even did the ideal way to target a specific spot with Winona's catapult. To charge extra for a dlc character, and just ignore such a big issue is actually pathetic. I expect it from companies like Blizzard or Bethesda, but Klei? Come on guys, you're better than this crap.

All this while talking so much about balance. Removing things like tree guards from afw, and nerfing wendy for balance. That's a joke, if you cared about balance, you wouldn't have such a huge gap between console and PC. It feels like it's only a priority if it prevents the player from trivializing parts of the game. That's not balance, that's alienating anyone not playing on PC.

My solution on how to fix it would be to colossally nerf PC version so it plays roughly identical to Console Version. Because if they can not bring Console gameplay to be on par with PC, PC needs to be brought down to match console.

And while this isn’t a glaring issue right NOW it will be when Klei ever decides to do Cross-Platform Multiplayer.

And sorry but no, I don’t want to be alienated and mocked for playing the “gimped version” of Wortox because I can’t play on the Superior PC Elite Master Race Console.

 that's what they were planning for controller players, match everything up before fixing it.

I don't like the idea of making the gameplay experience worse for others, but a solution for console would be great. 

[Edible Coal]

the easy way to adjust this would be allow player to hold the button for longer teleports, so you can use it quick in battles as short hops, and longer charge hops in your day to day stuff

That doesn't solve the teleport blind spots. The forward hop is way less utility. With the jars making teleporting free, walking should pretty much not happen by end game. The movement options to teleport from resource to resource, maneuvering hoards, stealing agro to save a friend. What we have isn't even close to what we can see is available. I mean the nerf to the soul pierce from beta applying to console is a spit on the face. It balanced, with explosive resistance, around the assumption that you can bounce back and forth to continue the damage. It's not just a little better on PC, it's a completely different mechanic.

I don't really care if the fix is easy or not to be frank. We didn't pay less for the game as a console players, and the dlc characters are way cheaper on PC through steam trade (because trading things from game to game is such a new idea, and totally hasn't been solved since the game boy color).

We all know console has different limitations, but wortox's change the character. He was transitioned to console badly. This product you see on streams and guides is not even close to what we get. It's been ignored for years. When it was time for him to be rebalanced, and had the spot light on him, we didn't get a fix. He barely got attention. They had years with this problem and did nothing. An easy fix could have been implemented during the months of beta. It  needs proper care and attention to bring it to s comparable product, not some cheap bandage.

You consistently hold the viewpoint that if one version of the game is worse, all the other versions of the game should be worse as well. Xbox doesn't get official servers so take them away from everyone else! Controls suck for wortox on console so make them suck for everyone!

Such an ignorant and childish viewpoint, and honestly just weird. You clearly play the game so much and care so much about the game that you troll the forums daily and write paragraph after paragraph after paragraph in each and every discussion, yet you actively advocate for the game to be worse and copy Minecraft this or copy terraria that. 

You need to be studied.

Well you see, they really needed to spend all those months barely changing wendy and then changing her back and then nerfing her. It was really important that they do that. To be fair, the forum was all crying about wendy for those months so klei did have good reason to give her more attention clearly more people were upset with her. 

Also console problems will always be an afterthought to these devs. They release a sloppy unoptimized garbage port to consoles as an extra source of income so they can make the PC version better, which is what gets advertised by streamers and YouTubers and thus pushes sales. There's no money in fixing console, and klei is greedy.

They also get less feedback from console players, but that's a pretty garbage excuse have such a inferior version. They were happy enough to take our cash, this needs to be made right.

I’m going to completely ignore your insults here and simply say that until you play on Xbox and you end having to deal with not just a game-breaking bug, but a bug that powered down and completely turned off your console, and you had to deal with this bug persisting until AFTER Klei’s holiday vacations were over, that you have no right to truly speak about sloppy and unoptimized.

People can say what they want to say, that’s what a forum is for, but until you experience a console damaging crash where anytime you (or anyone else actually) equipped the Tragic Torch skin, it didn’t just kick you back to the Xbox dashboard, but instead froze and self-powered off your console.. you have no idea what Unoptimized even is.

And in my opinion: A Bug on that big of a scale, had no excuse on slipping through testing.

Never forget the bug that deleted your save data if you picked cloud. I lost hundreds of hours between two worlds deleting.

At least you know what caused your lost data

My game crashed last week and I log in and it just tells me my data is corrupt and all my personal worlds are gone. No clue what even happened or why. I don't remember the options that popped up but I clicked something along the lines of "revert to last cloud save" but that didn't matter apparently. PS version is broken dogwater too.

But here let's feed your victim complex, sure Xbox is the poopiest of all poop and no one else is allowed to be upset with their version of the game because you have it the worst.

Does that mean klei needs to focus on improving your platform the most?

Or does that mean that klei needs to focus on making all the other platforms as bad as yours?

The official verified Mike opinion - obviously klei needs to make everyone else's game suck too! 

It still doesn't make sense and is a terribly childish viewpoint.

They get feedback and never ever ever do anything about it. Maybe once in a while, months and months later they drop a fix. Why would people come bug report on the klei forums when klei has shown them through years and years of neglect that their posts mean nothing and klei will get to it when (or if) they decide to get to it.

If klei actually stopped neglecting console and implemented qol and bug fixes semi regularly more people would come report to the forums.

[Hollow soul 3]

@Vinjathey don't care enough to fix the in game bug report for consoles after multiple people reported. It's pathetic. The game is fun enough, but idk why people like the devs.

Some of the fans will tell you that "obviously we all know PC is better then console" and "console has limitations." Every other game finds a way to make it work. You guys didnt even try.

Klei made a fantastic game here which I love so much, and I think they've done a very good job with skill trees for the most part and I enjoy the direction the game is going. Boss reworks are a great idea, more endgame content is a great idea, the newer ocean content is cool. Frostjaw, moon quay, sunken chests, all awesome. 

I just don't understand how these same people who come up with these awesome ideas and literally delay updates to try to get them more in lime with what the community as a whole wants are also the ones that neglect game breaking console bugs and glitches and allow their game to be in such a poor state and basically give everyone who supported them by buying their game on console and spending an embarrassing amount of money on skin packs the giant middle finger. Its like two different people. 

PC gets Klei and console gets Tencent.

Stability issues can kill a game for me. I wasn't clear in the post, but the control differences are my current focus. The missing features because of the difference specifically.

It's been pointed out that they are working on it, that's not really enough to go on to give them any points though. Console edition is approaching it's 9th anniversary, they've been sitting on these issues for over 8 years. Wortox suffers most from the differences. This needed to be fixed before the update went live. He was balanced around things he can not do on console. Klei delayed the update for a lot less than LITTERAL MISSING FEATURES! They barely treat us as an after thought!

If you hold them to the industry standards, they do not meet the minimum expectations of a port. This isn't an indie dev team any more. They needed to do better.
