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.Yes, this patch was unexpected but, they saw it as a little surprise persay.
Yes, the maps did seem fine, but to the staff and possibly others they weren't. They were huge and had little to barely anything in them. They lagged constantly ( for some users ) and it was problematic. Plus, they didn't know whom the creators of said maps were or where they came from. If they could put new maps in, I don't think it would've been possible. Staff was only doing what was best and most actually liked the step they took. They can only work with what they have and there's bound to be someone that isn't pleased with the patch, etc. Understandable that most will feel like you do because there hasn't been changed for 4+ years so it can be a bit sad that something like this happen, having to adjust all over again.
Another thing, not everyone enjoys some of the legendary markings / items and see no need to change. Some might actually like the original designs and they have a right to download the markings / items packs or not. It's their choice.
Advertising is going to happen virtually anywhere the player sees fit and it's their choice whether to leave or not. If there was such an option to solely advertise, like general, then that privilege might be abused, like it happened with General probably and we'll be back to square one, yet again. Players can advertise in a different locale or simply stay put, again their choice.
As for the crashing, it will happen if the computer simply can't handle it, too crowded of an area, etc. etc. And unless you want a new computer or if you want to try adjusting your settings, there isn't much that can be done.
Again, the community was asking for change and was tired of the change and such, but again, it wasn't going to please everyone. That's simply how games work, communities, real life etc.
But trust me, your opinions are heard ~ ^^;
Edit: To avoid the spam, you could offer your ideas to a staff and see if they can assist you in some way about the update and such.
After giving it some thought through iv decided to give the new update a shot and just try to work with it i don't want to make this an a debate as both points are valid and opinions is what make us human. Iv took the time to look around the map and there is some place I really like and I also had a little tour of the place from someone who was very willing to do that for me and I thank them for that Tho I still miss the old maps and would like it maybe in the future if maybe they could be added so people can re-live there old FH memories as I had spoken to a few members of what thought of the new update and they all pretty much loved it but also talked about adding a snow map and adding the old maps into it but all in all loved them so it got me thinking I should just give it a shot so I spent some time looking around and specking with my fellow FH's and It was nice and I think the maps will just take time to get used to but i can deal with that and I would also like to give a big thanks to the staff who did work to make the maps the way there are there is a lot of detail and effort gone into them. As I only go on FH In my free time when I'm not working of doing commissions I have noticed a lot of old members return and some fairly new players and the one thing I'm please about is how It has brought us more together as before there was a lot of no socializing but It has seemed to have changed so I was very please with that and that the maps have a range of people In them. Like I said in my previous comment I think I came across a little selfish but it can be hard to lose all them memories but It will take time to get used to and I can deal with that sometimes its about change and just enjoying it instead of being butt hurt and I was XD and I do apologize If I came across rude or angry about the hole thing and for that I'm sorry. But for now I will keep looking around and find new players I can make really good friends with. Also I'd like to point out the web site page as well its much better then before and looks more tidy as I can find what I'm looking for what the more browner tones fit perfect for the game
So I'd like to thank all the staff that put there time and effort into the game and also the webpage its self
and apologize for coming across ungrateful but maybe in the long term maybe the staff can talk about adding the old maps into it? for old time sake just to go back into the old game and be like this is where it all began I think that would be amazing for other players
