Dev Blog (July) Feedback

Greetings spacepilots^ ^

We have a new Dev Blog posting for you all and we would like to hear your thoughts and feedback from the blog.

Regards,

 

Sounds great, can't wait to see.

But I hope that that event will also be rewarding and help players to get uridium faster, that should be the number one priority.
If I can earn more uridium by killing cubikons than by attending to that event I am going to return back to x-6 very soon.

 

Somewhere, in a parallel universe, the devs might actually use the forum themselves.

As Darkomaani mentioned the rewards will need to be good.
These big company events are designed with server such as GE1 and GA1 where all companies have decent big clans with plenty of UFE so every company can put up a good fight.
In small server it tends to be a death-ball where 1 company is so much biggest and better equipped than the others that in the end, nobody plays it because playing with nobody to shoot is boring. Big rewards would change this at least for the small servers.

However I can't wait for the prospect of spending uridium and time to try and carry my company and get nothing because I was just unlucky to not be in the company with most members ^^ *cough* influence *cough*

 

For me this sounds also great, but i think that this "new mechanic" is not so new what community is saying. Let' see: we have already spaceball, invasion, TDM, capture the beacon ect. and in every event companies have to work together to get the victory with some extra reward (more xp, hon, uridium, or cargos for next day).

And what i readed in unofficial page (like every hour), you Okapi32 said (with a lot of codes, i didn't understand much ) that capturing domination gates would make link between secured gates and shop; making a little discount to players. Say if i'm wrong .

But yea, it's only couple of days left to this event. let's see what there is that time . Hopefully something what Darkomaani. said; something what is worth to do.

 

thanx 2 okapi for sharing the info for us to show us what we got coming

 

Yes you are right, if you capture multiple headquarters you will get discounts in the shop, as for what in the shop will be discounted ... it could be something good like boosters / rsb, or it could be something bad like x1 ammo xD

However you have to actually connect the headquaters to get the discount, so on a server like yours where your clan has control of the server it will be fun, but for people who aren't VRU ... they won't see many discounts thanks to Cry

 

So wait, this is an event basically to dominate a map am i right? so like x-6 maps etc idk please explain

 

"It would literally allow your faction to conquer the neutral sectors of the Galaxy"

So probably maps not assigned to a company

 

so 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5 (4-x maps)?

 

Yeah either those, the pirate maps, or new maps.

No idea

 

This in pirate maps (especially in 5-3 and 5-2) would just create more disrespect between players.

 

Just quoting the maps that are neutral, I guess we can't really judge until we see it.

But since it's bigpoint, I predict it will be bad.

 

There are no neutral maps...just in Hades gate.

 

About neutral maps, those are 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4 and 4-5. Why? Because those maps are no-man's zones. Just like achievement, Builder (Install a module in a Clan Battlestation found on either map 4-1, 4-2, or 4-3 (only possible during a Domination Event!)).

 

NO...those are BM aka battle maps not neutral zones. Let's wait till July 26 because this is off topic for the OP and give our assessment then.

 

It could be just poorly worded by bp

 

They are not owned by a faction therefore have neutrality. Neutral doesn't mean demilitarized.
If they are making achievements for domination which tell you to build CBS in battlements then in the blog they say you will be needing your modules for part of the event ... its pretty obvious that the neutral maps they are referencing are battlemaps.

 

Pardon me for interrupting but would it not of been simpler to just remove the advanced jump cpu and on the spot repairs from the game and put the bloody fun back into battle maps which was taken away by the introduction of those 2 updates !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

OK got it, but uh...still got that just shoot the hull/base to destroy the CBS problem which to me is a sham since, we couldn't when the HITAC came on just shoot the mothership....NOOOOO...we had to shoot modules on the HITAC before getting the mothership. The same should be for the CBS. Blow up the modules before the hull can be destroyed. The hull/base should get a instant shield. I have no idea why every NPC has this function yet WE the players don't.

I agree in a way, but with all the fire power you will never get a chance to go to the uppers since there in only one/three entry points (one per map the three battle maps). You will be sent back to x-1 map over and over aka pushing 5 times before you can get thru one player - what if there are 5 ships...that means 25 pops before you can go up. Don't forget about the trolls in 4-4 after you get past the 4-x maps lol. At least you can go to x-8 then after one pop.

 

Well solid eye even though the company im in has not been succesful in this new event so far, i think the next time around everyone will be better prepared and the score will not be so lopsided. Cause once the 4 maps are dominated getting them back is much harder than getting them in the first place, hmm wonder if domination could be broken up into multiple events in multiple maps, spread the action around next time? just a thought
