How many of your suggestions over the years were implemented into the game?

the things i have suggested as "features" have hardly ever been implemented.
some things have been implemented, that may sound similar, but at core are completely different.

most of my suggestions are based on what the DEVs have stated in their blogs and in chats what they want to have. I didn't suggest the features, but made suggestions how to implement them with their possibilities. For example the gamma highways...

or that one thing, that was impossible the one day (to be precise, before the anniversary tournament, when the "arena" was presented and zoom was collecting feedback), and suddenly was implemented a few weeks/days later: Player deployable and destructible Walls.

during that feedback i came up with the question "why don't you use the plant system for destructible obstacles/walls in that arena".

The problem came afterwards, because someone thought such a feature must be released to the playerbase with nearly no restriction. no build-zone around spawn points (teleports and outposts), the 3-neighbour limit and a rather hefty price or slow grow seemed enough for that certain someone.

Contrary to my request to have build- and destructible walls in predefined locations around the outposts to allow outposts owners to fortify their locations (under intrusion 1.0 rules that was)

Some failed MMOs trying to deliver so much different content that it provides poor quality on all areas shown below:

PVE leveling content
PVE endgame content
PVE raiding content
Battleground PVP
Arena PVP
World PVP

I provide this list to show which choices they can make because tackling them all is almost impossible even for the richest of publishers . I think Perpetuum with such a small dev team, should make a choice on at the most 2 areas and make them really good. The 2 areas that the game has been developed more is World PVP and some leveling PVE.

I think it's time to make some hard decisions and divert resources on other areas that covers a larger demographic. I know they have covered PVE most this year and still to PVE is boring and a grind fest taking too much time for the players to see any rewards.

Could it be time to lose World PVP as this often clashes with other areas, and makes the whole system quite hard to balance? Real question would be what can Perpetuum become, that can bring new players?

Right now it's same old development rebalance after rebalance, changing stuff around does not get anyone hyped about it. Tell you what, no game is balanced!

The marketing part of the game is heavily underdeveloped. I know it sounds boring, not as cool as an improvements to PvP/PvE, but without it there won't be many players, because it pushes people off. We're losing a large part of clients on a stage where they haven't seen a product yet.

It's not requires a lot of money and dev time to try a different sales model at least for a limited time. For example, make the game free, with premium stuff like booster, give the current players a booster for a few months. If it won't work, revert the changes, without deleting any new accounts to not damage the reputation.

Price for buying the game which you may delete after a few hours is too high for some. BUT the price for 50% booster for a main account in the game you like - is cheap. Think about it. It's much more easier to buy a booster for some months than buy the game in a first place.

Marketing doesn't mean anything if your game sucks.  Look at League of Angels. That piece of junk has probably the largest ad campaign I've ever seen in a game and still nobody plays it. Why? It sucks. 

You're starting to figure it out though. Player loss has a very low impact on the Buy 2 Play business model.  Typically B2P games will capitalize on ongoing player participation through a vanity item cash shop (robot skins). The red flags are when you see B2P games and there ISN'T a cash shop. That usually means the population is too low to warrant the expense of creating one. Which in turn means players have no reason to keep playing.  Which indicates the game isn't fun.

So we gonna await a winter miracle or will be done something real? Perp is a robot that freezed at North Pole. There are nobody around and only nuclear explosion will warm it up.

EvE's online decreases everyday. Because of wrong way model they have no new players inflow. Many (old) players goes out too.

yesterday i was talking with someone in german chat, and noticed a thing that has bothered me a long time now.

Perp is a hybrid of game, combining elements that are fun, but in an unfun way.
for example, the npc grind and walking around is something that i would enjoy more if i could control the game fully with mouse only (aka RTS style).
Then on the contrary, the PvP experience suffers from a very bad "camera", 2D HUD and contradicting game mechanics (twitch Elements like LoS and WASD control, but then no-go CC elements like all EWAR.).
And then, you cannot even look "uphill". 

even the robots modular system is like someone took the battletech universe, and tried to combine Inner Sphere specialized Mechs with the clan omnimechs into one thing that is both, but then seperating it into three artifical "factions" for the sake of having factions at all.

btw... what was this topic about anyway?

Turn perpetuum to RTS?.. Worst idea ever. Should be playable by one account.
Multiaccounting is a bad something.
