Console commands for PvP Official Console Servers should be disabled. It totally ruins the game. I play as a solo and was able to successfully play ASE and survive by staying hidden. Was excited about ASA and the density of jungles/grass and shadow quality, even the ability to hide in clouds. As a solo who plays a guerilla style warfare this was excellent!
I couldn't believe that you could allow enabling turning volumetric clouds off, grass off, shadows off, fog off. Absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable. You shouldn't even be able to adjust your gamma if you play online on an official server. Even though I think it's wrong and unethical - leave these options for PC cross play servers and for PvE - I understand that some people may want to turn them off for various reasons and that is fine. But on a PvP console only server it just ruins the game completely. Particularly for small and solo tribes.
I experimented with turning these options off and was gobsmacked. The game looks worse than ASE and dense jungles being lit up is ridiculous, ASE had darker, more shadowy environments and better hiding opportunities than this.
Please rethink this approach. I refuse to enable these options, it's absolutely pathetic. Can't we just play the game as it was intended? Surely the devs can't want this? I know I'll find a way to survive - within the rules - and even though others may cheat but I'm beyond disappointed...
