My FPS was always pretty low when playing this game. Then came the new anti-cheat system. For some reason, that made my FPS not only slower, but also made it so that I can't go ten seconds without having the frames just stop for at least half a second. Extremely inconvenient when playing in fast-paced battles. And then came this update. I now cannot do well at all in battles. In fact, now this game (for me) can be summed up by one word: UNPLAYABLE. Seriously. I can't even play at all now because of an insanely low FPS and constant lag. Didn't you, in one of your most recent V-Logs, name the last changes that this game would go through before focusing on developing the Unity version? I am positive that this was not one of them. Absolutely positive. It was also stated that no changes other than the ones stated would happen. Also, people are expecting the Daily Missions system soon, which was estimated to be finished a while ago. I understand that there could easily have been delays. However, maybe the "delay" would have been extremely shortened or even non-existent if you had not focused energies into making this update that you practically promised wouldn't happen.
I have always been supportive of the updates that you guys rolled out, even some of the more unpopular ones, thinking that all of them would prove themselves to be, shall we say, worthy of being in the game. However, some recent updates have got me thinking otherwise. This is one of them. You claim that the recent decline of players is seasonal, and I totally hope that is true. But it might not be. It could easily be because of the recent changes to the game, which have even made me want to stop playing this game. Once again, I hope it is otherwise and actually because of the summer season. I could very soon become one of those people leaving the game because of the quality change. The way to reverse this is to try out updates carefully before you implement them. Try them out yourselves. Put them on the test server and actually listen to the players' feedback in the comments. Think through such changes before you even begin to test them out. Ask yourselves questions such as:
How will this affect gameplay?
Which also should include the more specific questions:
How will this affect gameplay on lower end devices? They want to play too.
How will this affect gameplay on higher end devices?
How will this affect gameplay for those with slower internet speeds?
How will this affect gameplay for those with faster internet speeds?
Will this actually improve or decrease the quality of the game?
What are the chances of this update actually being popular among the players?
Please, please, PLEASE think through what I have said. I have always thought this is a wonderful game, and I want it to stay that way. I don't want it to get ruined for any reason at all, and I am sure many others think the same as well.
Sincerely, genak138
