List of BROKEN, Unplayable-Level Elements of the Game in its Current State

Age of Empires III: DE III - Discussion
1

Not referring to balance, the game is mostly playable but with some major issues still plaguing it to this day:

1.) No fix to Out of Sync bug/cheat: BROKEN
2.) The need to restart the game to correct frequent Matchmaking issues: BROKEN
3.) Out of Sync when watching Replays: BROKEN
4.) The existence of Map Hacks and other illegal cheats: BROKEN
5.) The entire online interface being socially inept with various bugs in and of itself: BROKEN
6.) Sudden seemingly unprovoked game crashes ending the game and closing it out completely: BROKEN

I know there’s lots more, what else can be add to this list of BROKEN things no game should have suddenly left behind especially after being given ample time to rectify and made known through the proper channels?

The 8 Xbows card for the Knights of St. John doesn’t send anything last I checked.

With all seriousness though, and a sizable dose of pessimism, they won’t fix anything. Imo, the people who matter at WE and/or FE seem to either not care, or worse, could plausibly want AoE3 to just fade away.

I just can’t believe the sheer amount of totally broken elements of the game that were simply not fixed and then was left that way indefinitely.

It’s utterly insane.

Oh no but our poor devs are overworked, underpaid and under constant bullying of both their boss and their customers alike. They will faint if you accuse them of not fixing simple bugs. We should buy whatever crap they sell us so that they can survive.
