Moving to correct section

 

thanks you can also say your opinion TrustIsEarned

 

What we have is a catch 22 situation at the moment there are a lot of posts saying fix the game before any more events are added but as soon as an event is postponed then come all the posts asking why the event as not started so it becomes a no win situation for the dev team. There are plans for an event to run with the European football championship's with national flag ship design's for all the nations that have qualified for EURO 2016 I can guarantee that should there be a need to postpone the event, all the were are my ship posts will become we want our event. The launch of the 2 new proposed ships should be held back until the critical issues have been fixed and be given a good test run as open beta to weed out as many possible issues before being rolled out.

 

In my opinion the best way how keep players and get new players is stability and functionality of the game. So if events mar the game and cause lags and mistakes (chat, and an equipment etc.), BP shouldn´t adding any events or new things to the game. What is it about? They add some new things and game run very poorly, so players can´t play.

Yeah I know the game must develop, but they should add new things with a longer pause.

I remeber time, when ranks were broken. Every players from one company had rank Basic Space Pilot. They added a lot of new things in short time and really big problem started when they added group gate. They repaired ranks half year. So I think it will be unpleasant if it repeated.

 

my opinion is fix all the current problems, then introduce events/ships etc, why not employ more people to get the job done?

 

I would like to see all the broken stuff fixed first. Events are coming back to back, its crazy. The last two overlapped, mainly due to issues with the first one causing an extension but still. They have already promoted another event and with the tie-in with a real world event, it will probably be hard to say "We are going to wait on this one." But past that, they should really hold off for a while while they fix all of the issues. I never make one but I have to catch myself from commenting when I see there is not a CBS anywhere. I find it odd how an update can terminate a staple to the game. Maybe we need a team to rewrite the entire game since new employees don't seem to know what the old code does, and therefore can't stop contaminating the formula. But in the end go in this order:

1. Fix the game, and make sure it is fixed and not just patched.
2. Write events and fully test them out.
3. Write instructions that are clear and precise and publish to forums with an announcement that it is there in the newsletter.
4. Start the event the following week, on time, as in on the published date and time you announce it will start.

Updates should be the same. I realize a lot of updates are to fix issues but most roll in new features, and problems. We apparently need a better method of testing them in alpha, and open/closed beta. While things are being found there, not all of it is communicated in a way that says "Hold up there, that don't work, just lost all of my lasers."

 

I M H O, there were so many people wanting the Crafting/Assembly System D O pushed it into the game before it was ready. They had to do the Ship Customization Update because of Real Life Events that are tied with some of the Upgrades included (Euro 2016 Tournament, Game Ship Expo) and as such again forced the RUSHED launch of yet another poorly executed Upgrade.

I believe that D O needs to SLOW down the modifications to the game and catch up on the Bugs/Glitches that have already been placed into the game and return our game to the playing standards we had at the first of the year, before adding another UPDATE to the game. This means the NEW Ships are on HOLD, NO EiC (until all issues are cleared up), No NEW G G's, No NEW NPC's, NO NEW ANYTHING, until the current KNOWN ISSUES are completely removed from the game. I also believe the TESTING of NEW items needs to be done on a Complete Game Server, (not just bits and pieces like Beta Site) and needs to be run for several days (if not weeks) to find issues with the system (under normal game play) a few hours to look at what is coming is not giving us a complete picture of what is happening or what bugs may be in place.

 

Game is fine in my opinion and all it needs is aliens beyond Kristallons. Cubes are the only thing worth shooting at the moment. Kristallons simply do not pay enough compared to the time it takes to kill them.

Sibelon 400k to shoot = 32u
Lordakium 500k = 64u
Kristallon 700k = 128u
1st New alien 1,1m = 256u
2nd New alien 1,6m = 512u

(for comparison Cubikon 2,8m = 1028u so Cubes would still be most valuable but 2nd New alien would be a good option)


BP should add these and immediately the people who are 80% UFE would start playing again since there is a way to get uridium now.


Bugs don't really bother me at all and events are not really events at the moment. What is the point of having an event if you can earn more uridium by killing Cubikons than doing the event stuff?

 

My opinion: I am disappointed, the progress per day for reaching Ufe is too slow (I will need about 1 year, if I collect Palla every day...) the prices for the best equipment are increased, but not the Uri rewards from NPC. Therefor Non -Ufe can't earn so much Uri even in empty maps.
The time for going from the base to your wanted maps is sooooo long after you get popped. But what do you do if you could escape from enemies successfully? Waiting at the gate/ checking one other map? That's a waste of time too. The situation of the old days was better.
There should be more updates all about the balances. Also fixing bugs are important, although every game has some bugs, the number of bugs here in this game is too high...they need to be fixed faster than 9 months....
During this update work the devs can add some not very special events (some sales, event boxes, GOOD quests) to soothe the players a little.

 

I want the game the fixed ,we have plenty of customizabile and estetic stuff , why can't they fix the actual game ? improve the game play , and listen to what the players actually want damn it , they keep introducing small stuff we want and they screw us over with useless aesthetic updates , we've been asking for server to unite , save the configs and transfer it to a diff ship,more sep in skylab , easier and more ways of grinding uri since if you want more players you'll need new ways for everybody to grind since most of the npcs are useless(you ask why people kill eachother and the same company just to shoot a cube ? well this is why , the cube gives the most uri and kristallons are useless since that's just a waste of seprom ,make more npcs that give more uri and make the game more diverse and easier for everybody to grind , the ways of grinding and getting uri hasn't changed at all but now there are so many more requirments to being full elite )instead you just milk us of money with no actual pleasure , I know so many people that quit this game in the past few months because we ,players, rarely get a say in what's gonna happen

 

New hangar update will help newbies a lot. It brought a lot of bugs, but spear/aegis/citadel are cheaper now and they are now given 3 of each day instead of 1 in auction. This update is good step, however assembly is big dissapointment.
