Alright, so I planned to jump into Wuwa this morning. Had my coffee ready, wanted to finish up some dailies, you know the drill. Fired up the PC, clicked the launcher, and what do I see? Maintenance. Again. Sigh.
It feels like every other day there’s some downtime. I get it, games need fixing, especially new ones. And let’s be real, Wuwa’s launch wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Remember all those translation issues? Performance hiccups? Yeah. They got a lot on their plate over at Kuro Games.
So, what’s the deal with all this maintenance?
Honestly, feels like they’re still playing catch-up from launch. It’s like they built this big, fancy car but maybe forgot to tighten all the bolts before rolling it out. Now they’re constantly pulling over to fix things. Good on them for trying, I suppose? Better than just letting it fall apart. Shows they’re listening, maybe? Unlike some devs.
Still, it messes up my routine. You plan your playtime, especially if you don’t have much, and boom, locked out. Makes you wonder about their testing process before release. Did they rush it? Feels like it sometimes. The pressure to release these big games must be insane. Everyone wants the next big hit, gotta get it out the door fast. Then you spend the first six months just patching it into shape. Seems backwards, but that’s the industry now, I guess.
I remember another game launch, won’t name names, but it was a similar mess. Constant patches, emergency maintenance… it took months to stabilize. Wuwa seems to be on that path. Maybe it’s just how big online games launch these days? Ship it first, fix it later? We players just have to deal with it.
What I hope they’re fixing
Sitting here, waiting, you start thinking about what they could be fixing. My personal wishlist:
- Better performance, especially in the main city. It still chugs sometimes.
- Maybe tweak those echo drop rates? Feels like a grind within a grind.
- Fixing controller support properly. Heard folks still having issues.
- Just general polishing. Some animations still feel a bit janky.
But who knows? Could just be routine server stuff. Or maybe they’re adding something? Probably not, usually they announce new content way ahead.
Anyway, that’s my Wuwa time gone for now. It’s frustrating, yeah. You invest time in a game, you wanna play it. But complaining won’t speed it up. Guess I’ll find something else to do. Maybe check on that download for another game I forgot about. Or, dare I say it, get some actual work done. We’ll see when the servers come back up. Hopefully, things are a bit smoother afterwards. Hopefully.
