I have to agree with Konata on this. I have been a member since 2011, and everything just seems wrong now. I acknowledge and appreciate the hard work that has been put in on this update, but it is my opinion that it was unnecessary. I get that it is my opinion and that others may not agree with it, but I just believe that so many other things could have been done instead. We already had good (and decently sized) maps, and we already have custom maps. I think that if FeralHeart+ taught us anything, it is that new maps may be kind of cool, but they can also be a pain in the butt. I have yet to log on and try it out for myself, but I have watched a friend try it out and such, and it already seems like a pain. I just think other things could have been done instead.
I am saying all of this as a player; I know that there is a lot to consider and a lot of work that is put into running a game. This is not meant as a critique on the staff or anything of the sort. I just wish that FeralHeart was fun again. I love and encourage changes in games, but I am put off by this change.
You're allowed to have your own opinions. (:
It's really not a bad update in my opinion! I love the new maps, how much detail there is in them, as well as the updates for Lonely cave, etc. It's not hard to get used too. It's quite easy, and there are updated Markings, as well as Items already that work with the game. ~
The update I saw got a lot of old members to return, and the larger, more, and more detailed maps, makes roleplaying mapless roleplays a lot more nice! As some people cannot download maps, or choose not too, to avoid getting anything, etc.
But does it make a game more enjoyable if there is more detail? Or if there is more places to go its about the time you spend with the people you meet and just enjoying what the game was and about every game has its floors fait enough but not being able to play because its crashing or never being able to rp with old friend because they hate the new update sucks yes I agree that some of the updates are great like the butt swing one but that really never botherd me as much but I no others it bothered I think changing a hole game like that is going to effect those who join and play in my opinion there should be a way for those who want the old game back because this update is not for me it complex and confusing to many people in just one map from what iv seen the grounds is the most used map and I hate the new markings my sonas face markings now look like a patch of mud on her face :/ looks nothing like her design there should be some sort of debate about the old and new game
Not trying to argue with anyone, was stating my opinion just like anyone else.
Yes I do think it's better and more enjoyable to have more detailed, and unique maps rather than practically empty maps that are very.. boring, with no effort put into them. The legendary marking pack was updated to work with the game as well as items.
I see nothing wrong with the update, and I'm sorry you feel the way you do. It's not as bad as people make it out to seem. ^^
I'm not causing an argument just expressing my views on the matter there should have been a discussion about the change of the game with the people who play It it was like bam and here is your new update of the game out of no where I'm not saying that the people who worked on it did not try because they did they did a wonderful job trying to please other players but some of just want the way it was before and I'm glad you guys can enjoy something I can not anymore then fair enough but its just a shame to see so many people turn there backs on a game they have played on for years and years....
Those that have 'turned their backs' on this game could be players that were so quick to point out the flaws with the matter, rather than sticking it out and letting it settle with them ( in my opinion of course ). It was easy to sit behind a screen and point out all the flaws of the matter and not be grateful than to try and view the matter as whole.
You have given the game a shot at least, even if it was only a few days and that's still better than nothing.
You don't have to stay and force yourself to enjoy the game. The update isn't right for everyone, which is a shame and if you no longer feel the ties with the game then you are free to play something else ( NOT to come off as harsh, I promise ? ). If you need a break to reevaluate or take some more time trying to get used to the whole new Feral-Heart, because for most, it could take a while since it has been the same for 4+ years now, so an update can be a bit M A J O R for those that have joined FH since the release, then you're free to do whatever you feel is right as long as you don't step out of bounds with it. c:
The update is more the major it bloody confused me xD I had no idea what had happend to the game I just think there should have been a discussion about remaking it with the people who play it thake in there ideas and views as well
Ja, it was a surprise that's for sure and even the staff apologized for the sudden update but they were doing was was best I'm sure. And hej, it's not like they're rejecting our ideas. Some floofs actually made or are trying to revamp some of the old maps at least, there's a new one for both South Pole & Temple Of Dreams I believe ^^
The staff are hearing us out and throughout the years, we were practically 'screaming' change for the FH game and such and this was the result. If you have some ideas, I'm sure you can PM a staff or even make a thread about it. They're bound to hear ^^
And it can be confusing at first with all the new places and such, but this community is willing to help as long as this game is still running and even then some ?
And that I dont debate on the staff have down there best but it still would be nice to be able to go back into the old maps with out updates or new objects and I think that should be done for players who want the old maps back
First and foremost, I think it is wonderful that we can voice our opinions on here like adults without getting into an argument. I have seen a lot of disagreements on other forums and websites, and it is nice to know that everyone is being civil.
Secondly, I have a lot to say about this. Again, Konata has a valid point. These updates were sprung onto us out of nowhere. It would have been nice to at least get some sort of a warning. And the old maps seemed fine. Why not just add the newer maps instead of changing everything? Now FeralHeart is lagging more and people are crashing more often. I know that is something to expect when such a major update occurs, but it is kind of a nuisance.
Instead of changing the maps and such, why not improve customization? Sure, everyone can download marking and item packs, but if you do not have the exact same markings then you end up seeing marshmallows. Or if the items and markings are in a different order, you end up seeing the wrong markings/items on others' characters. It would have been nice if certain marking and item packs could have been implemented so that you would not have to worry about downloading them over and over when you re-install the game.
Also, advertising is fairly difficult because we have to depend on the movie feature. You cannot type as much with the feature as you can in the chat, which does not always get all of the necessary details out. It would be nice if there were a chat feature solely for advertising. Besides, the movies barely play for some of us, and it can be annoying to have to restart the game just to get it to work for a little bit. It would even be helpful if there were a search tool for finding active groups. Right now the current group search feature just allows us to find groups; even the really old and/or inactive groups. It would be great if we could find groups by using search criteria.
I'm sorry if this is not the place to write ideas, and again I am not meaning to disrespect the staff.
