June - Twitch

I don't know, if it's the right section. But here is the summary of the stream (key points), although it's kinda late:

Server merge

• takes time

• have plans what servers are merged

• from 60 to 20 servers
• no better information
• avoid merging servers across the world
• needs long (maybe 5 to 6 months), because try to make everything works smoothly

Seprom exploit

• first ban wave, remove also Credits
• complicated, equipping Seprom to lasers, that’s hard to get the figures, luckily they have smart people, that can view the numbers
• there will be big announcement (removed stuffs, banned players)

downloadable client

• not until server merge
• still in the plans, but there are not work for this

scrap in shop

• players really want it
• can’t confirm it, don’t know

buying posters (in real life)

• want to give them away as prices

bots

• "on-going battle", never stop
• bots are annoying, affects game play, hard to stop
• big step against bots coming soon, which will happened in the next months

lag, server issues

• changes on biggest servers (global Europe, global America) last weekend [stream was on the 28th of June], performance increase, less complains now
• they are working on connection issues

quests

• cause of the problem between strong and low players
• quests should catch multiple players
• trying to make level 6 and level 12 quests during every event with e.g. new LF4 and more of that

[random stuff]

• bring structure
• more PvP and PvE areas for level up
• don’t unbalance things
• we should give questions to the moderators and ideas in the forum, because the moderators will give them to the design team for next Twitch stream
• more bug fixes

Chinese server

• no, but there will be a Japanese server

“missions that are cancelled”

• important issue
• more about that in an announcement

new LF4

• no changes for the new LF4 (even no upgrades for them)
• focussing on other stuffs e.g. server merge instead

more time between events

• they need the time for improve events

Domination

• clan battle station are going to be “tougher”, its HP are increased by 50%
• mechanics:
  • 3 hills in each battle map
  • after capturing nobody else can capture it for 2 minutes
  • get points from battle station
  • =>dominate the map!
• some changes
• 7 new, “very epic”, big, permanent quests
  • e.g. killing a lot of players
• no set day, but it maybe begins in July
• Domination should be more attractive and be harder to defeat =>exciting

Next “War bond” event (perhaps I mishear?)

• event after Domination
• introduce somebody new

random stuff

• they can’t spoil new stuffs
• introduce new quests, because according to statistics we love quests
• events for low level players, e.g. they need to long for Vortex of Terror
• more events, which allow new players to get cool stuff

next anniversary

• don’t know [no spoiler]
• but still looking for the future

JPA jackpot in bonus boxes

• design team will talking about it

lagging hangars

• dependant on your amount of ships compared to equipment, every time use a piece over and over, there are recalculations for all ships again
• complicate to fix, but they are working

increase 2D performance

• no, they want to increase overall performance

Questions:
PvP dependant on the rank:

• on the plan
• more fairness
• (other?) huge changes maybe after server merges and performance issues

changes for pilot sheet?

• not right now, because not many people use it
• changes would make maybe only 5 people happy
• now you only get something you needed and then you are not using it ever again

Disassemble feature?

• they must check the impact on the game economy
• it isn’t prioritized, server merges first

Increase Seprom production in the Skylab?

• [big] NO

Titles

• big changes
• working on it
• after server merge
• perhaps cool titles with cool names

Moving equipment more simply

• they agree, it will gonna happened
• after server merge

Server merges in 2017

• perhaps
• they believe that

log disks other resources and better drop rate for scrap

• perhaps after server merge
• after long checking

PvE maps

• perhaps are considered after server merge

Getting ammo easier?

• Some people have too much ammo

Level 16 drones can’t be destroyed?

• They don’t know, perhaps surveys for us would help

Any information about scrap yard?

• Scrap yard= recycling not-used equipment or sell it back, upgrade stuff like crafting
• some people have too much stuff
• but no idea, how it will gonna look

Balances for Tartarus and Spectre?

• they will rebalance it

New chat system

• very close
• releasing soon
• before server merge

Vortex of Terror too difficult?

• This gate should be a high challenge
