I've been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don't mind so much the fact that it's different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I'm bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.
Stratagem bounce and "mashing stim key and the stim key does nothing, even hearing the sound, but no heals" are two bugs that have been in the game since launch; and the latter has become such a sore point for me that the moment it happens in a game and I die because of it, I just close the game for the rest of the day. Game wants to be a fuck today, it can go be a fuck to someone else, maybe see how it's behaving tomorrow. They say they recently "fixed" that one, but I'm positive this still happens.
When I saw their recent "you asked for a fairer fight" post about clamping down on super credit hacking, I just about did a spit take. Really, Arrowhead? We asked for this? I'd really like them to cite their sources, because I -- and almost every other player -- have been asking for these two specific bugs, in the game since launch, to be fixed since launch (to say nothing of other common player requests that have gone largely ignored or paid mere lip service to). And since launch, and in over 900 hours of playing, I have heard not one single fucking complaint from another player about getting free super credits. So again -- "we asked for this"? When? Where? How? I gotta know, so that I can use the same method to ask them to fix the fucking bugs we've all been begging them to fix for years, and maybe then they'll actually get fixed.
