Lots of games have several months between updates and it's fine.

The problem with Haven is the utter dev silence. You have no idea what the plan is or what the future will look like. It really feels like abandonware that gets updated just barely enough to keep people paying.

because that's exactly what it is
i only hope all of the morons paying for this get the message at some point

the moment they stop seeing meaningful income from their laziness that shit will change real quick, i'd bet

I stopped playing 16.2 as soon as I saw bug with hunger.

What was supposed to be a core mechanic for balancing the characters ended up as a bug-abuse fiesta. It just proves they've stopped caring about the game. It's really so hard to check numbers in database and figure out something is not working as expected.

Also, **** ur salt and quest hunger reduction.

I agree! The primary development focus is on Object-Controlled Objects

I don't think income is what drives them to develop this game because they have made a lot of ham fisted decisions for the sake of a greater vision when they could have just made this another carebear PVE game and honestly I respect that even if they fumble a lot.

It's a game made for a playerbase of like 100 people who treat this game as their only hobby and have been playing for 10+ years and probably hate it lol
Don't see that changing soon
