  1. Is it just me? Or has anyone else noticed that, as we get closer to the end of flash player, there are more and more problems setting into the game. not just on the browser, as that might be expected with the flash shutdown, but on the new downloadable client as well.

    Catcha is not working

    The backpage logs out for no reason

    The eternal gate has so many problems, you can't list them all.

    Not to mention the usual, and these days expected issues with the game.

    Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but is PB doing this on purpose? Their way of slowly winding down the game. hoping people will keep spending money, until the day comes when they simply say "Sorry, to many problems, we're getting rid of the game." And everyone loses their money, as you know they won't offer refunds.

    Or it is more, benign, and with the closure of the browser version coming (I assume it will close when flash ends) everyone is putting so much effort into getting the client working, and the proposed move to unity. That there is simply one left available to fix these issues? In which case, PB needs to spend some of that cash they've conned out of and hire some more staff to look at these issues.

    After all, if they don't fix this, broken game, everyone will quit, and that means no money for them. Something I'm sure they want to avoid.

    If you have your own thoughts on this, leave them below.
     
  2. Adobe and Microsoft have stopped meaningful updates for Flash Player for a while now, that's most likely why there are new bugs and stuff is no longer working because Flash Player is no longer being updated, especially literally in less than two months Flash Player is being universally disabled completely.

    I'd even really urge people to not use Flash Player at all anymore because malicious actors can now exploit the program with literally no consequences whatsoever because, again, there have been no meaningful updates. Which is why Adobe is forcing Flash Player to be disabled universally and preventing ANYONE from using it at all or obtaining it at all, because if something happens to you they are technically liable.

    It's DO's fault to a degree as they don't update the game at all but really it's just Flash Player dying.
