Topic: Feedback on grumblings
Hello
I just thought I would let the 'powers that be' know about the 'grumblings' I have been hearing about the game in its current form and direction its going.
some of the following I sympathise with ... others ...well everyone is entitled to their opinions right?
1) the game is empty - I think this stems from a combination of factors
i) Holiday slow down
ii) Natural temporary drop off after initial rush
Personally I think that this is normal and the the game is doing great... but thats just my opinion
2) Dev's not using limited resourses of the small Avatar creations staff in the most effective way. 'People' seem to think the first patch should focus more on POS and ironing out kinks in the game (e.g. Enemy's entering 'conquered' outposts) rather than adding things like AOE weapons.
I'm not sure on this one. Some feedback from the devs on proposed additions to the game would be nice ... a hoped for timeline.
e.g. Patch1 AOE, Patch2 POS, patch 3 Terraforming etc .... prob not practical but would be nice to have a sense of direction in the game.
3) Bored being forced to mine to get NIC ... lots fo combat guys out there seem to think that they need to do 'carebear' stuff to get NIC. My opinion on this is simply be more organised. In Perpetuum teamwork seems to be vital. If you want to specialize in say combat you NEED other players who are happy to support you, and they in trun will NEED you to defend and patrol! This is not EvE, the warrior is not a Feudal Knight who is independantly wealthy. The Economy seems driven by the Industrialists. War is Expensive! Which is exactly how it should be!
Maybe the more experienced players should get more active on the forums and help the newer players find their place before they become too diverse in their EP's?
4) The forums.
A) Its quiet in here. Forum activity reflects the game. If its quiet in here then its quiet in game too. POST POST POST. Reply to people. Don't be passive, Even if its just to say. I agree. or maybe... I think 'x' idea is okay but the Designers should focus more on 'y' idea.
B) Be creative. I for one would like to see more detailed info being shared around amongst the players. In nicer formats. Exact break downs of NPC dps ... how much chem ...how much kin. this kind of stuff is available in EvE so why not Perpetuum. Are we not as creative? I hope thats not true!
This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about:
http://eveinfo.com/missions/138/eve-onl … te-campers
I know this is for mission running. but why cant we have something that has this info for say 3rd star Cremators?
I'll add more as and when I hear more.
