[SC] I'd like to see you try

The paying for items has always created their own issues, the "I got to get that right now" players were always players who would create issues inside the company as they failed to understand the game, until someone popped their bought FE ship because they had been killing same company noobs without knowing the rules of the game. And now D O is trying to exploit this attitude as a means to keep their revenue stream flowing, since so many wallets have started closing or left the game.

They Moderate because they like the game, they do get insider information, and they get to flex their muscles by editing/banning players for a time. Actually they do have the benefit of being able to play more than you think, as they are not monitored as to when they are actually on the server/forum assigned to moderate.

But YES I agree having each member of the Dev Team start an account on a POPULATED Server and play it to the level of 16 with no cash influx, to the game, and no one knowing who they actually are (in other words they can not all join one server and play together) trying to build their account to FE+ (all 10 drones some LF-4's and equipment {LF-3's excepted} upgraded to level 16) status before level 16 (about 6 months of hard work), meaning they are working hard for the Uridium and equipment needed to be strong in the game like a FREE person does, we all know doing gates is the best way to get the LF-4's but does nothing for the 2 drones (this is the luck of the chests), but Zetas do give keys so grinding them helps with the possibility of collecting the parts needed for Zeus and Apis. They can not play the account while at work and can not violate any rules applied to a normal player, nor can they create any type of advantages so they can collect only the best boxes/chests for their effort. Their progress is posted in "Dev Tracker" using surname (not game name), the Ranking page and Pilot page (game name removed) is linked directly to the surname in "Dev Tracker" and they are encouraged to post personal experiences to let us know how they like the game they have developed being a FREE player, playing like a noob, and dealing with the stuff we have to deal with, not the "alpha site".

 

Funny how my comment got deleted. So I say it again. "we all know that doing gates is the best way to get the LF4's". Just by saying that you expose your total lack of knowledge of this game. The same lack of knowledge is the reason why a newbie stays a newbie forever and comes here in forum to complain about their lack of knowledge.

For those who understands the game mechanics it's no problem playing a free account. I recently started a free account because of this thread. The idea is to point out that it is no problem to play as free and being able to get a good ship. And that account is in GE1 which is the most populated server.

 

Agreed knowing game mechanics does help to a degree. Tbh it takes all methods Quest, Keys, Kappa Gates an a bit of luck to get LF-4's. You have to search for them actively and passively.

Have to also agree that you can get a good ship for free. Unfortunately a good ship wont cut it these days. you need to be 80%
UFE to stand a chance in a fight. To be more active in PVP you may even need to have for premium.

 

I remember the old tunnel of terror. (German forum: ) One Employee of D O try this gate (he was FE without Lf4), he didn't like the gate, too boring especially the UberSobelons. Then they introduce the ammo reward and decrease the amount of life for activating the cooldown during the pumpkin fest. I hope they will do this in the next big event again. *hustle* Crafting system *hustle*

 

You kind of miss the point here. Youre a seasoned veteran of this game. And so are many others. Of course you can build one a little easier than your average Joe. I want to see a dev, cm, or whoever who maybe hasnt played it a whole lot give it a go. Or maybe somebody out there who has a friend who would like to live stream and try it out. I think it would be interesting and fun to watch somebody play and hear their thoughts on the game. Many issues we talk about will come up sooner or later. Maybe people will see first hand what those issues are, maybe some explanations can come out of it. Who knows???? This post wasnt written because I think the game is too hard. It was written because I think it would be interesting to watch and see how things turn out. And maybe some issues get resolved.

 

True. For a new player it's confusing.

One change that could help new players would be that when repairing your ship at the spot or to the nearest gate it would first use repair credits and if dont have any then uridium. However I understand that people go for premium to be able to fix for free so it's something bp would not do lightly.
