[SC] Latest Test Server Too Radical and lousy

I heard about the new Test Server, and what I hear it's a lousy game play and Hanger Management

Anyone who agrees with this, post their thoughts here where I say "Do NOT Implicate these changes into the game!"

 

the hanger system is a lot better this way just take some understanding

 

Firstly the test sever was open for over 24 hours giving all players a chance to test the new feature, to judge anything by hear say is at best a fools errand and to say do not implicate these changes with not having seen at first hand and testing them as no logic.

 

I say that it is stupid to open a PETITION thread on something in progress when they have a FEEDBACK thread running for those who actually took the time to TEST and voice their opinion. I also do not like the proposed changes and have made my voice heard in the FEEDBACK thread and even received replies from RickDekard as to how they felt about them.

 

All i can say is that i dont want all designs classed as ships, its already tiring to reequip hangars when you need to.

 

Well they have not given us the whole picture YET. There is something called "Favorite Hangars" which is part of this update and it may be the resolution of this issue in itself. IF these are what I anticipate, we equip these hangars as we want and then assign the ship to it and they automatically get equipped as assigned.

The need to classify the designs as ships comes from the players wants to assign "Skins" to their Ships along with the actual design, so using a Surgeon but Frosted. The fact that people do not know what is a "skin" versus a design is why they feel the need to separate out the designs into ships. Bear in mind this was just a trial of what they have so far and may not be what we see. For all we know they may take the suggestion to have us select a ship type (Goliath) then the ship (Surgeon) and finally the customization (Frostbite) all in one hangar basically like we do now except the customization doesn't allow for a design also.

I am also against the in-game Hangar system as I do a lot of AUCTION work and do not want to have to go into the maps to equip my won items, but I may not have a say in this either.

Again, with the TEAM watching the FEEDBACK thread you would be better advised to voice the opinion there instead of creating a Petition thread to boycot the entire process because you do not like one facet of it. They are watching and reacting to the feedback we are giving and even making comments when the suggestions have been legitimate and need to be addressed.

 

Wasn't able to log on, but saw a green BSG green crossing the middle of the screen over and over Cylon doesn't welcome you I have no idea, but my question is does this require reassigning equipment or not? I apologize if this out of line.

 

At this point I do not have enough equipment to see if it would auto reload and with the test being for "Customization" don't know if that portion was even available during this test.

I do hope they have a TEST soon where the entire system is operating like it is supposed to and we can actually see what is coming. Equipment was strictly Customization, Assembly had cargo issues so you did not know if you were getting any new ore or not. I even got locked out of the game because I tried to change servers and it sent me to the log in page instead into the Test Server and had to have Support re-direct my account to the regular servers.

 

I liked it. There are some things they could tweak, but not having to buy hangers is going to be a plus. Some people will never be happy regardless of what DO/BP or any other MMO dev does for or to a game.

 

Good for the NEW players but what about those who bought the hangars before they went on sale (paying more for one Hangar than the entire 10 cost now, or those who took advantage of the reduced price this last 6 months)? We have also seen something called "favorite hangars" with no knowledge of what these are going to be. Yes I know advancements happen, I know you pay for the privilege of having something first, but I started this account just before the price reduction and feel I got messed up spending the Uridium I collected to find I could have used credits if I had been aware of the change coming shortly after I started and been Uridium ahead instead of feeling ripped off from my experience.

The biggest issue I had, other than not being able to access it on my account, was seeing that even with the changes being made the Customization of the ships is nothing more than what we have now and the time being invested in this part of the update seems to be wasted, whatever ship you have can only carry ONE design, whether for increase or looks it is still limited to ONE design.
