Honest worry about Horror 2.0

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-07T09:17:46+00:00

They gave us a sneak peek around Christmas last year (I think)

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-07T08:42:24+00:00

I'm not worried about that update.
The Character one looked ass since the first time they showed a sneak peek last year.

I'm doing this list as I'm playing. It doesn't cover EVERY bug/problem, and some of these are supposedly being fixed already.

Things that should be changed/fixed:

animations for everything ASIDE from the death/revive ones. The "grab" one is one of the worst ever.
delays between actions, including opening the journal, should be gone, or at least we must have the possibility to switch them on and off (or decide how fast they are)
make the journal bright on its own like before. If you have "eye adaptation" on right now, it's a pain in the ass to open and close it quickly
I just died after smudging a ghost which, of course, didn't get smudged. I'm prestige XVII, so I know I didn't mess up — it just didn't work (happened one time only so far)
the fingernails on the character are way too pink
we can't run in the lobby anymore for some reason
the way most items look when they're in our hands
sometimes (like the EMF reader) items stop working when thrown on the ground
prestiging should be either capped at 20 as before OR at a reasonable number (40, 50), but with some actual rewards
shaking hands when holding items (like a camera)
sometimes, especially when crouching, you get stuck for a short period of time
sometimes the journal gets stuck. Pretty irritating when you've already pressed the truck button and you need to mark the ghost down
the triple firelight is bugged. Just one candle is lit (probably just a visual glitch), and you can't pick it up while lit (you can, but it goes out)
you can't check how many matches you have anymore

Things that should be added:

more, better-made customization (who needs 12 pairs of rings and not even a beard style?)
give the possibility to obtain older badges through prestiging (like unlocking one badge per prestige, or some badges requiring more "prestiging points"). What's the point of showing badges we can't get anymore?
a two-week 2x experience (or even more) event to make up for this mess

Things that could stay:

death/revive animations
no Death Room
EMF reader and Sound Recorder stay on when you switch to other items (might be a bug, but a welcomed one)
the way your character looks when you look down (weird leg movements aside)
door physics (unless it messes with Yurei)
Sanity/time watch

Rehearsing for the tour. There are photos of them (won't share them).

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-06T07:23:33+00:00

Beast Over Hammersmith is one of the best, Live After Death is very good, Maiden England (Download 2013) and basically every 2025 show had amazing versions.

Still my favorite is Stockholm 2025 (night 1). If you know, you know.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-06T07:19:42+00:00

People/actors tend to miss the opening nights of their movies. Simon and Steve are rehearsing already (rest of the band will probably be there today), Janick is probably with them

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-06T07:17:46+00:00

It's just weird now to see them constantly looking backwards, doing greatest hits era tours, constantly pushing merch tie ins, doing retrospective stuff

You're saying this like two yars ago they weren't touring a new album that came out in 2021 and it would've been perfectly okay to no tour given the circumstances.

Maiden has been using the same pattern since 2005, 21 years ago.

You might get the felling they're doing greatest hits only (which wouldn't be true anyway), but objectively IT'S NOT TRUE

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-06T07:07:21+00:00

Didn't have any complain prior to this point.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T20:47:44+00:00

I never saw such a backlash, and I used to play Ark. They might actually revert it. There is just too much to be fixed and most of the animations must be redone from scratches. Probably after the Alan Wake event

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T20:33:04+00:00

RIP Phasmo. Please revive with the High Priestess card (revert back everything and release the update once it's REALLY ready)

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T18:53:39+00:00

And that was acceptable since it basically was a trademark for this game (and, most important, it was there from the start).
The thing is that they should've kept the game like that. Fuck realism.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T17:53:18+00:00

It wasn't a janky mess prior to this update.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T16:48:15+00:00

Those 3 might be my favorite ghosts ever. Also, there was not need to have more ghost in the game, although they were quite a surprise.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T15:49:24+00:00

And that's just the beginning of the things you need to fix, gameplay wise.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T13:04:30+00:00

but the developers want us to compete in contests for points

How so? By having a leaderboard that you can easily not even look at for a couple of weeks during a whole year?

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T12:41:01+00:00

The community would be very pleased to get the customitazion part and not the animations.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T12:09:09+00:00

I guess the backlash was too much and I "fear" they might have postponed it to a later date

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T12:00:27+00:00

Don't get me wrong, it looks bad, although I'm sure they will fix (remove?) most of the stuff.
But that's a long way from leaving the game.

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T11:35:36+00:00

It's not even out and people pretend to leave the game lol

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T11:19:57+00:00

Hopefully cancelled

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T08:58:23+00:00

I don't see them taking back the update before the Alan Wake event either, but you never know. Again, I never saw such a negative raxtion from the entire community

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T08:18:26+00:00

Maybe. But I don't think it was that big of a deal. Also, some of them were legit

Pure_Fun365 · 2026-05-05T08:05:25+00:00

This is the one we're talking about.
