I've anticipated Bless for a while now. I've followed it and been aware that this was it's 4th relaunch and 2nd rebuild but I still went ahead and gave it a try. I rolled a pally yesterday and mashed buttons through the tutorial since the name of the tactic your supposed to mount for pally's isn't correct at all. I then went out and experienced almost all the bugs you can find here on reddit.

Poor frame-rates in city, though, when I dropped the graphics settings to 1 it ran mostly smooth. Quests that "Failed to destroy item" (I'm assuming remove it from my character) and hence not allowing me to move on. Loading screens I would have to force close 4-5 times in a row before I could play. When they brought the servers down I went and did the .ini changes and could up my graphics to '3' again. However, that made the loading screen boss more powerful.

Despite all that I was having some fun with the game and managed to play for several hours. But as I struggled past the loading screen for the 5th time and pondered over text to strengthen my Endurance skill (maybe?) and told the umpteenth new paladin that "Hesitation tactics" or whatever was really "Interruption tactics". I suddenly got mad.

Why?

Why was the game like this on their 4th relaunch. And why was I supporting a game that was like this on it's 4th relaunch. I'm about to launch my own game and I spent hours on the phone with an alpha tester I sent it to specifically because they have a masters in education and I knew they'd proofread everything! And I was right they did, and helped me fix and clarify a lot of text in my game.

Now my game isn't on the scope of this game by any means. It's a personal project done over several years. But I could and would and did take the time to make sure it had a decent level of polish when it's not even my day job (I'm a web developer normally not a game developer).

So it made me think why do I want to support this company whose job it was to make sure this stuff was correct? Even if I'm having fun, they clearly don't care enough about their own product to make sure it has a level of polish it needs not to be disgraceful... If I wasn't going to demand quality with my money when would I ever get quality? So I logged off my paladin, went over to Steam and asked for a refund.

It wasn't that I wasn't having fun with Bless, it wasn't that I couldn't figure out the Engrish, it was simply that I decided to demand more of a company who's job it was to actually produce the game.
