Patch can kill a good game.

[quickhand]

Patch, some of you love them, some of you hate them.

Patch can change a game for the better or turn it into a pile of poo.I have played many games before and during most of the game patch, there alway something minor or a little bit of good in them. But today let not talked about the good, but rather, the BAD.

Here are some games that been UTTERLY destroy by just one patch or less than 3 patches.

1.Zu online- The nerfing of an already underpower class,and afterward the dreaded installation of guards which TOTALLY kill the PK experience in the game.Not only that, the devs have the GUTS to make it in a way that you basically have to PAY in real money to play the game.Those who have play this game from the 1st week will know what i meant.
A shame this game have potential.

2.Runescape, now most of you would probaly say that Rs is a bad game, but it just your opinion. Runescape was still attracting people until the one fateful patch that drove alot players to quit.What did the patch do?

It took away the best thing in the game, which was the FREE FOR ALL PK area in the Wilderness. Shame.....Atleast there still bounty, but that gay.(no offence.)

3.Eudemon or Conquerer Online-I forget which was which, but the patch that ruin it for me along with alot other was the implemented of the 'Potency'.
Potency is kinda hard to explain, let just say it kill stragedy in Pk.

There you have it folks, that my list for the main games that I know and played until those damn patches was place in.

You can discuss if you want.

I just want to relieve my tension as to why some developers would do something soo STUPID as said in some of the patches.They would to lose their players base :/

What about the FlyFF patch that allowed a level 35 to destroy a level 110?

What the f$#k? That impossible >_>

Probably the patch that pissed me off the most was the flyff patch when they took out the skill training and just put in skill points. It was fun to train skills... after they ruined it. Skill points just sucked

[Saaaaaad]

While I've never played it, i seem to hear a lot of stuff about a Star Wars Galaxy patch that ruined it for everyone..that's the one i hear the most anyway.

Quickhand can you tell me what happened to zu>? I played the 1st day and made it to 40 something summoner and i was thinking of going back. What happened?

Rakion was a game destroyed by the patch where you can upgrade items not to mention if your not a power user then dont even go above level 10. its pointless since ALOT of people have like 200+ stats at lvl 20 area. thx to this half of rakions population left.

not to long ago,Psykeepers were the toast of the town,until 1 super patch nerfed them...so i retired <_<..lvl98

[Syetactic]

The patch for SOTNW that took out auto fighting, and customization at the start of the game ruined it for me... I hate leveling them up as noobs with 0 skills... all you do is click on ground with ctrl... Wow! So much fun!

Runescape, impossible to get prices and all high level quests plus now you can't even trade items for free or a good deal etc.. But the community did suck for awhile anyways

Well to be HONEST I think like over half the community that was playing from the first couple of week ALREADY quit.

The three patch that they did was horrible!

Here are all the thing I say went wrong.

1.Over 50% more Border Guards was place in different faction, making it almost impossible to Pk.

2.Honor point are increase but so was the amount of honor needed to get the rare sets.Like before it took only 100k to get the lvs 30 one, now it like 600k. you can imagine how much the 90+ sets will COST >_>

3.Level 90 pet NOW COST GOLD! Which is exchanges from REAL money.It wasn't that way before.

4.Summoner got it BAD! Their ghost shield which protect them before is now reduce to 1/4 of their original effect. Thus making the summoner completely useless for tanking boss or even NORMAL monster now.

5.SunWarroir are EVERYWHERE!Like AIDS!

6.Pet get hungry even faster, so you have to spend an insane of money to feed their fat ass.

7.Oh and did I menetion that quest AFK exp were cut down to 1/2?Yup....

Soo don't even play Zu anymore dude.The devs make me bleed mangina out of my asshole.

PS: I forget to add this, but CASKET item are BOUND NOW! It soo ******ed to get a skillbook that you can't even used or sold. Yup...

Most of these claims sound like disgruntled gamers who loss some of their advantages to balancing.

[Krunkmasta Flex]

you forgot the following patches.

the patch that caused 60% of the community in SWG to leave
which allowed jedi's to be selected at the start instead of having to earn them, which greatly impacted the PVP and PVE elements of the game by having a scarcity of other classes.

also the Patch that Nerfed the druids in WoW and also Nerfed the Priest EVEN MORE.

Ah thanks for the info. I guess my summoner sucks now lol

Drift City of Ijji had a patch; which gives clear advantages to real cash paying players.
