Mythic, what's the deal? You are making tremendous strides with the game but leave so many frustrating bugs. While many of these bugs are not game breaking, they do cause the player problems and lessen the fun of the game.
Yesterday I took part in a fortress defense. We were doing very well and held of a couple of very near captures. Then with about 10 minutes left, I get disconnected. Of course I end up back in Reikland and my spot has been filled. So when the defense is over, I get nothing except the shaft. 50 minutes of lag well spent I'd say.
Developers have said they know about this problem, many times. It has been months since this fortress cap system has been put in yet there has been no fix. Is this some programming problem that takes months to fix? I doubt it. Are the developers short handed and busy working on other things? that seems much more likely.
This whole population cap system was a stop-gap measure but has somehow become the standard. It was rushed to be put in to stop the crashes and not very well thought out. If you know its a problem, why hasn't it been fixed?
Why are enemy NPC's still spawning inside controlled keeps? More specifically, it is the 'keep upgrade' npc's that don't despawn. This has been a problem for a few weeks now... but has not been fixed. On the surface, it doesn't seem very complicated, just make them de-spawn on keep capture. It is pretty annoying getting killed by champion npc's inside your own keep.
Ever since 1.2.1, my connection has been awful. I get disconnected , on average, probably once an hour. I'm not sure I can fully blame this one on Mythic... but it is strange it started around when 1.2.1 came out.
Capturing keeps with melee using Pick Lock has become very common place. Mythic even has a fix for it, a keep upgrade called Deadbolt. Why not put that in the game now? 1.3 won't be out for weeks, so you are going to let players (non mdps and defense) suffer until then?
It is great that the Land of the Dead is coming out. However, leaving these (and others) obvious issues in the game is just not acceptable. I am pretty optimistic about WAR and am usually pretty happy but come on Mythic. These issues need fixing as soon as possible.
