[SC] came back form a break so many things have changed ?!?

hii some of you may remember me I used to post allot on the forum too, my game name is ruler-of-worlds I am playing GREAT BRITAIN server as MMO.

I joined this game about 7 years ago played for about 4 years straight and quit, came back now and started playing Siriusly again, beside all the new stuff their is which is absurdly expensive I am really disappointed about the playfulness of the game, i truly want to continue playing this is one of the best games I have played but what I am most disappointed about is the low amount of players and the apathy I feel in the game "mood".

their was a space ball game today, besides the VRU no one else palyed it, back in the day each company had hundreds of ships fighting over it.

anther annoying thing is cubes became private, if you go and shoot a cube people get angry at you some will try to shoot you down.

for me big part of the game was helping noobs out, they cant be found, if you are lucky their is 1 or 2 noobs in the intire lower maps.


I dont understand if the server became so inactive why arent BP merging serves its really takes most of the fun in the game away.

 

Because none of the really important problems ever leave this forum, one day when the server shuts down and the bosses ask what the heck is going on? why everybody leave? makes you wonder doesn't it? LF4? BIO? SKYLAB? CBS? UFE? COST?

 

Hi mate. I'm the same I have recently come back to the game after a 4 year break. Under a different username. And I must say it has changed a lot, gone are the days of mass hunting sessions, and mass cubeing sessions and when FE was all Lf3s and 8 iris drones. I remember when if you hit 15000 with x3s you where a force to be reckoned with, but now they have ships hitting 200K+. However I do like the way things have become more progressive and that you have something to work towards (UFE). Only problem is I'm spending so much money on uri my wife is going to kill me one of these days.Lol

I do agree that more needs to be done to encourage more people into the games, you hardly see anyone in the lower maps

 

I was a paying player and used to buy Uri to get myself Greens, today their are too much to get I dont see myself spending money on the game.

I am still having fun doing quest and hunting in groups, but its not the same as it used to be.

even if I buy now 1m uri thats wont be even 1/10 of what I need to get FE again, its crazy.

if I try to imagine myself being a new player, I would feel hopeless, heck once I understand what I need to get everything I wouldnt spend a penny.

you need roughly 20 mill(maybe more ?) uri to get full elite these days.
just to get a decent ship you will need 5 mill, and by killing aliens it will take a life dedication.


their is a simple solution.
why not make alliens give 10-15 times more uri ?
that can solve the problem on its own.

 

dont need uri to get fe

 

Yeah cubes became private, why ? Becuz u need milions of uri only for ammo.

 

The only players that have stuck around are using the game as a Social Club or have spent so much money doing Galaxy Gates to get UFE (hercs, LF-4's and Booty Keys/Apis drone/Zeus drone) or regrettably, have found cheats that are undetectable to BigPoint to get unfair advantages. The Free Player has left the game as they have gotten tired of be popped all the time. And the FE players who don't want to BUY their UFE status struggle to find a time when they can enjoy the game the way it used to be.

As for the Cubes it used to be ONLY Wallet Warriors could solo them and now almost everyone can SOLO the darn things and thus is not willing to share the rewards (which if you look at ammo expenses, are NEGATIVE Uridium generating) which comes down to Rank Points ONLY.

 

I dont understand why BP are killing their own game, it might still be making lots of money but if it was easier on new players more paying players would have come and more existing players wouldnt leave.

its like shooting yourself in the leg ?!?

 

Hello Ruler,

Welcome back, I also play GB1 and VRU if you need help give me a shout, my ingame name is A-Motorboat. (I know we're different companies but it does not bother me.)

Rick a member of the dev team has been doing producers dialogs where he talks about what he is going to do to help newbies, so fingers crossed they sort something out before christmas...

 

hii Motorboat, great to know someone is doing something about it

I allways supported simple solutions.

when I first started playing you needed quite allot of undrium to get full elite, but if you worked hard and maybe bought a little bit of uri you could get it.
since then more and more undrium equipment was introduced but the means of getting uri remained the same.
you need to get maybe 10 times more to become FE or maybe close to, while killig elliens gives the same.

sure the existing players might be paying that but no new player will join because it simply impossible to get these stuff.
a game first need to be fun for players to pay for it.

a simple solution would be making alliens give more uri (X5 or X10 as much).
maybe adding restriction about killing low lvl players in the lowe maps.

could also add a few lower map with no killing zones.

 

It's not as hard as you are making it out to be. I made a new account a month ago. With just premium rebate and boxing Doubler I now have 2 havoc, Hercules, 2 lf-4, Apis and all iris, spearhead aegis citadel and goli with sentinel. Auction/trade gets you far, as does boxing and space ball and pally fields.

 

Try as a totaly free player on a difficult server like ge1 + luck is an important variable . To get FE is easy , to get ufe is hard .

 

I have on ge1, totally free as I don't have spare money for this game often. Many big clans to help you become fe easy. Find a clan with good diplomacy and a leader who knows what he/she is doing. In that sense there is little need to protect and what's left you can be protected by your clan and friends. Luck is a variable, yes, but one you can overcome with repetition.

 

Also considering the OP said he used to spend money on this game I doubt he or she will have issues getting $10 worth of subscriptions.

 

The biggest issue is finding a GOOD clan that is ACTIVE and has a GOOD reputation and helps members regularly. I have found this hard to do as so many CLANS are just individuals that do what they want when they want and could care less about other players. Too many have multiple account players with ALL accounts in one clan. On USA West we have one clan of 45 that is believed to have 3 members and the rest are additional accounts for these members.
