Looks like we need to revive this again
As of the newest patch a set of bugs with the ancestral and splitter weapons has led to being unable to progress in Freelancer, meaning the new patch has added a softlock. Unfortunately @combatglue, the only active IOI employee has been gone for a few days now
I’m tired boss. I actually liked the PSVR2 port a lot so I don’t like being negative but it’s a shame that the two primary voices of the community - the forum and the subreddit - are ignored in favor of Twitter, Tiktok, Twitch, even BlueSky which are very difficult to curate feedback for. I don’t visit this forum daily either, but I’m not being paid and I feel bad criticizing IOI and Glue because I’ve talked to the guy numerous times and he’s really nice but like is there a reason why communication is this bad? Do we need more community managers? I’d intern; I’d nominate @Urben, @BlossomFox and @cake941 as ambassadors: I’d do anything!
Because when stuff like this breaks the game we can’t wait two months to patch it out. I get not doing monthly patches like before because of various circumstances involving the fact patches cost the devs to develop but stuff like this needs a hotfix
Criticism of IO can go semi-viral in these circles yet none of it reaches IO. The fake AI quote of Diana Burnwood is still on their socials!
