Topic: Stop wasting resources and time on gamma

Change course.

QoL features, new mechanics, new PVE, new missions, new bots, new whatever. New - not rehashed.

Key word is MONTHLY CONTENT PATCHES.

Also, remember when we told you 3 years ago you have a huge problem when it comes to communicating with players because you turtle-up while developing and we end up with months of silence and nothing? You're doing it again.

Totally agree. *** gamma, nobody gives a ***. PVE, QOL etc etc

~MONTHLY CONTENT PATCHES~

and for the love of god sort your communication out.

Re: Stop wasting resources and time on gamma

Personally i want to see Gamma finally fixed & put back in but no matter what your view point is The Silence on what is going on is a killer.

I would love to see monthly content patches but i seriously question if they have the man power to do that & work on long term coding for larger projects at the same time.

Gamma has taken far to long to get sorted out. It should have been ready to be put back into the game a few weeks after steam & we could have moved onto other pet Peeves!

Ps. making only comments in random threads about what ever isnt what I call as good communication (its a nice start) but regular DEV blogs or Video blogs can go a long way to keeping your customers happy.

Re: Stop wasting resources and time on gamma

I guess each time you blew up a nub crossing into your islands and he welped in despair and quit you would have said something like htfu or get over it, well it looks like your games just done the same... so.

Many of us have built clans/corps/alliances etc from the ground up through thick and thin only to see a game die, it's knowing when to move on that is the most painful (esp while you still have members left), I do hope this game isn't in its final heartbeats but I think some of you more established guys need to step back and see the writing on the wall (or the lack of it). Not sure where the blame should really rest tbh, Steam and Amsterdam didn't save the game, I'm sorry.

I don't have a clue what they are doing or should be doing. They have several fundamental issues that need addressing and each is critical.

Way More Islands
PVE  & Mission update
Transportation Network & Remote Industry/Market mechanics
Gamma

I doubt they have much choice now except to finish Gamma as it appears this has been their sole endeavor these last few months. Think they're kinda screwed no matter which priority they focus on.

Too bad they're so silent, though. Leaves much for the imagination in a bad way.

from the last responses, they are currently fixing the turret AI and eventually something else that crashed their TEST server so hard that it is offiline for several days now.

the things you list have been criticised since early beta. And when you look at it - its like your saying the whole game is in a critical condition. wink

Re: Stop wasting resources and time on gamma

Game is in critical condition or so appears for long time now. I guess with the sub gone Devs have little incentive to listen to vets *** about game development on the forum.

Time will tell.

In the meantime isn't everything about Jita these days? Has he saved the game yet from the evil clutches of CIR? Derail and Discuss

they could listen to the few new player that care to express their experience with the game, if those few wouldn't be supressed by vets with "learn2play" and "grow ballz" posts and such.

That's such a suppressing story. Your views as usual only reflect the extreme negative.

Revenue could become an issue very soon. I don't remember last time I tossed some euros towards Perpetuum but used to do it monthly with a handful of accounts.

New players from Steam could be generating enough revenue to keep the servers afloat, or not – time will tell that too.

Re: Stop wasting resources and time on gamma

Back from holiday but still no Gamma. Not that we need it right now, but at least when it's finished they can focus on other more important stuff that can attract new players.

RIP PERPETUUM

You wouldn't be so hard up for content if you showed at least the smallest amount of respect for other people. But it's okie dokie! Keep *** on everyone you can to get your jollys off then complain on the forums about why you have no more people to *** on for jollys... viscous cycle and all that.

Meanwhile, I'm having tons of fun in games that don't suck!

Youre starting to sound butthurt Smokey. That path is a hard one to get off from.

Syndic is right. If the devs limited resources can only concentrate on one thing then I'd rather have the suggestions above. I'd hate to see them release another broken Gamma and then we'd have to wait another year to see anything else worthwhile.

If you even remotely cared you would be PVEing on alpha while playing other games and not complaining about content.

You mean PVE while putting up with the grief tactics employed by your alliance? After the first Lobo loss that got a little dull.

We can sit and complain about ships sinking, or we can grab bukkets and try to shovel it out, your choice.  I prefer to play a game and actively participate in its history and lore.

Re: Stop wasting resources and time on gamma

Who's gonna care about the history and lore when they suddenly switch the lights out?

Re: Stop wasting resources and time on gamma

This is a topic that could get the discussion going around in circles.  With that said, here is my take:

In a twisted logic sort of way, getting Gamma back is like getting new content, except it's just a revamp. 

I think this would be good.  I was in A.S.S. corp and had to take a long hiatus due to work demands.  Before I left, as a corp, we were heavily involved in building up the Gamma base on Novaya Trava (IIRC).  That was immensely fun and provided a focus and direction for cooperative game play.  I particularly liked the group beacon pit events.  But whether or not we mined, harvested, or blasted NPCs for recyclable trash loot, most resulting resources went to building up the base.

I think the return of Gamma islands would allow this again.  I just hope such a land grab would not be dominated by the power blocks... I agree with those who have said that the Gamma issue should have been resolved before STEAM, which in my way of thinking, makes it the highest priority for Dev time.

I remember seeing 15 dudes in GC.  I got this feeling as long as there is players and a few monthly boosters this game will keep chugging along.

Perpetuum is not backed by million dollar investors looking to triple their return.  Its backed by the blood sweat and tears of a small group of guys who work tirelessly to improve on a fantastic game.

Its easy to get snarky and impatient but a sandbox is what YOU make it.  There's so much to do in game you just have to apply yourself.
