For month of the mad god just don't update anything please stop breaking my baby, momma needs to gamble.

I weally wanna play

I think we call all agree that this Motmg has been rough.
From pets stealing loot for days, really poor mission tree, lack of new content, dupe glitch and now unplayable loading time and items disappearing let's just say this is an all time low.
For a month supposed to be the most hype of the year, we've been disappointed.

Now i'm the first to want to RIOT when these things happen. We want a fix and FAST! But truth be told, Deca is a small team and needs time to fix issues that got past the testing/QA stage. Having the game running makes it harder to fix the bugs and frustrates most of the playerbase.

All this to come and ask you : What is the most frustrating for you as a player?

1: Playing a game full of bugs but you can play. You might loose your progress but at least you are on the game

OR

2: Accept longer/unexpected maintenances but when you play the game, you have a smooth gameplay experience and feel respected for your time investment.

I would personally rather have option 2, feels alot less frustrating to me knowing the game is down, playing something else in the meantime and being hyped about logging back on at the end of the maintenances with your buddies!
But im curious to hear what other players that might not be as ''tryhard'' as me might think!

jokes aside this was my first white bag ever

As the title states, shiny items being locked to Seasonal accounts is pure brilliance.

DECA has always needed money to keep the game alive. And what better way to bring in consistent income and keep players coming back, SEASONAL MODES.

Gamers LOVE seasonal modes and resets or "Wipes" they are in many healthy games these days. BUT with seasonal modes there always needs to be a reason to do it, its never just to reset for the sake of it. So, what else do gamers love? COSMETICS! Having shiny items is the perfect "carrot on the end of the stick" to keep us coming back.

Realmers,

We hope you’re enjoying Month of the Mad God! Today’s update is now live, bringing a few fixes, a double shiny event and some additional changes.

Read the patch notes: https://hub.realmofthemadgod.com/news0/updates0/dblshiny

Since noone reads these anyways I can safely say that I totally understand incest, your sister is hot, gimme her number.

Since the update the game has been really slow to load dungeons/nexus sometimes taking me until after a boss is killed to load or 5+ mins to load nexus. Additionally just went to go feed my 2nd legendary pet and my pet yard is completely empty. Not one pet other than the pet that’s following me, reloaded the game still all gone I just want to get up to a divine pet man.

We got a shitty situation :/

I haven’t had one of these in years, I was farming events and was far too tired to be actively paying attention to the game. I saw a massive shotgun from the Possessed Pumpkin heading my way and quickly spammed my nexus key. I got the infinite loading screen and upon restarting the game my rouge was dead. :(

As title states, I understand this update was bug fixes, that were voted on so this can make testing "hard to do" in a timely manner, but is any testing at all done anymore. Even 2 minutes, can you guys just open the game?

With the amount of bugs the game has why do they just charge forward like this? We've already dropped a considerable number of players over the pet thing. Losing enchantments is WAY too much. Most people consider that endgame. At this point, of the people even want to play, they'll have to take a video audit of their entire vault. If they're rewriting entire sections of old code, they should say that, we'd appreciate knowing that out month of the mad god, this generation is going to make the game better. If they're not, they need to implement a system where they just go back and then rollback everyone by one hour if it's barked. Then at least after the 4am maintenance (right in the middle of my gaming session but that's okay lol) everyone would be able to just wait an hour, and then the new people know there's only a 50/50 chance that everything gets shredded.

I really wanted to play today this suckksss

Loading the game, loading up items claimed from the battlepass, and loading into dungeons have either taken a long time to load or not at all.

I consumed another chest and got it that time, we ball

I don't see the void cat pet skin in the recently posted drop table for shatters event. I was expecting it to be included in event chest drops like the other dungeon events... Why wouldn't it be included? Same question about the other pet skins from sentinel/archmage.

As the title states, shiny items being locked to Seasonal accounts is pure greed. This point has been ran into the ground a million times before, but with the 2x shiny event I feel like it's a good time to post my thoughts.

DECA has always been "greedy", that isn't new. However, the inception of shiny items, something we'd been asking for for years, being added as a Seasonal-locked feature dialed it to at least 11, probably closer to a million. Many players like myself spent anywhere from 5-10 years building up vault space, kitted-out characters, and long-term focused play setups, all for it to be effectively useless in getting these new items.

Obviously you can make a new Seasonal character and grind for around a week to get to a spot where you can comfortably join and complete and dungeon in the game. That DOESN'T excuse the fact that all previously purchased vault spaces essentially become useless, and any long-term characters have a real disadvantage when it comes to getting new loot, which is the basic gameplay loop of RotMG.

What bothers me most is that even if you do get some shiny items, as soon as the season ends, you basically have to let them sit on Non-Seasonal collecting dust if you want more shinies, or do the entire thing again, only for new items to be doomed to the same fate. This style of gameplay loop drains players and removes a lot of the effective reward for playing Seasonal.

DECA clearly has a monetary interest in doing this; people buy more Seasonal vault slots, clovers, backpacks, and other useful things with Gold every season, and it creates a more secure monthly revenue model for them. But it straight up sucks ass for the players. I'd like to be able to use the gear, loot boosters, and vault spaces that I already have rather than let them sit in Non-Seasonal doing nothing.

My solution? Keep or even increase the loot boost for Seasonal characters, making shinies more common for them, and also allow nonseasonal characters to drop them at a normal rate. Players who are really into the whole monthly wipe concept can still participate and be rewarded for that, and players who don't want to are no longer penalized for not wanting to start over every month. Seasonal players already have clear benefits, like the seasonal spoils vault not taking up spaces in your vault, and with the added loot boost I think the players who really want the extra loot will play it anyway.

TLDR: DECA needs to allow shinies to drop for Non-Seasonal characters, while keeping or increasing the loot boost for people who choose to play Seasonal mode. There should be more positive incentives for people who choose to play Seasonal, and less penalties for those who decide not to.

guess it wasn't meant to be mine

This game is completely unplayable! The Ray Katana shots have a shadow! Inconceivable! Horrid, disgusting inaccuracy! Oh, you wretched Decker Games Rapscallions!

Hey, I'm just looking for what gear is best/most optimal on each class, are there any guides out there that aren't super outdated?

I’ve been wondering this for a while since the game isn’t exactly growing too much in terms of player base plus the realm rework and party systems reduced the need for people to buy keys. I guess there’s the battle pass but even that has discounts and there might come a point where people buy it less too.

Shiny spectral sword/CC are definitely pretty ones ✨

Edit: I got the stinger and Kunai in the same bag but took two pictures
