Topic: The Ugly Truth

I think its painfully obvious that the dev don't care about this game.  How about we have the war to end all wars so i can quit and go play another game.  I have around 75 seth mk2's and 100 mk2 arty's id like to blow up so i wouldn't have wasted all that time for nothing.  I would say lets just start brawling over saps but that's boring, as we already do this, but scheduled bang is even worse.  Any suggestions? before the trolling starts no im not gonna walk them into fleets to die or give them away.  looking for real suggestions.

P.S. idk about yall but the current state of the game is *** boring as poop.

Re: The Ugly Truth

I disagree.  The developers are probably bogged down with RL stuff.  The problem Rovoc is you've hit the glass ceiling.  You've won some Pvp engagements and you've lost some.  You've been in an alliance that's controlled the game world and has owned nothing.  So your brewing for new content.  It's natural.  So what I'd suggest to you is to go into Team building.  Take new people under your wing and guide them.  There's still stuff to do.

Host a tournament. Play flagged hide and seek. Put a bounty on your head. Challenge people to duels. Do open-to-all NPC farming give loot away. Furiously masturbate while spinning in station. Keep an archive of scanned fits like Ghandi. Play Whose Online filing cabinet like Race Drones.

Sandbox.

You can always bomb walls at Karapyth, probably soon on Solarfield, it was fun when I did it smile

<GM Synapse> please don't abuse our fresh players before blowing them up. And for god sakes, don't do that after it!

Well we did try and have a four island free for all with no saps and lots of fights but you lot were not interested. Now we are back at square one, the games population has halved and I've no idea what to suggest. The last attempt was pretty much the best chance I've seen in years.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

Re: The Ugly Truth

Population halved because veterans couldn't print NIC thru beta missions.

Re: The Ugly Truth

i've stopped actively playing, because there was nothing to do that was entertaining.

- gamma fights are depressing if you don't have millions of free assets and multiple accounts, to do all the stuff necessary. let alone all the hauling through beta necessary.

- beta missions.
you do them to earn NIC... the payout was great, but logically the prices of stuff on the market followed accordingly, so after a few weeks, it felt exactly the same as before - and the risk vs. reward balance bas back to high risk, low reward.

- PvP ?
boring, since in 90% of the engagements i was hired - i was assigned RR-Support. I usually do not even show up on killmails...
and even if i am assigned a DPS role...
Its so f**** boring having to run min-maxing heavy mechs.

thats as entertaining as playing any game with a cheated end-game weapon from start to end.
no leveling, no variation.

last but not least... the lack of grafical improvements.
Things like Deferred Shading, normal mapping, procedural displacement maps, Ambient Occlusion, particle and softbody FX... and for god's sake, scaleable UI.
Its all engine work, not 3D artist...

Re: The Ugly Truth

@Ville content What can i do?  PVP *** getting old blowing up the same old people.  PvE i already have 4 black bots, beacons are a complete *** waste of time 15minutes for 10k kernals *** that horse ***.  Gamma, i had an entire island to myself so im done with that.  New bro's ok... ill hang out with the new spies oh but wait no one ever lasts because of said content.  i already have a my war chest so im done mining for now.  What else is there for me?  Bottom line is devs would much rather take content away and change the game rather than help make the game better.  Case in point dev zoom would rather work on static npc spawns than something meaningful.  Idk about yall but im at the limit of my patience with this game.

Re: The Ugly Truth

On the spy issue why would anyone bother? Joke haven't put a spy in a corp since STC were still worth fighting

I invite you to ETHOS if you are bored or dont know what to do.

You guys are interesting.

I have stuff to do every day, I see like 1 year work still. (And in that timeframe there will be some development for sure.)

Agreed.

It is the rare individual who comes back to the game time and time again. But no one who does does it for the PvE.

I hope to God that Syndic reads that; hopefully after I get home from work so I can pass out from laughing at his reaction.

Mostly agree. They do tend to get bogged in minutiae, development is and has always been exceedingly slow, but I've seen worse. Having recently read the Blog post from July last year, their roadmap is to make the game even less accessible by making huge red NPC caravans roam everywhere except Alpha 1 right? I also saw the poll where Loot tables were #1 priority by vote.

I've been at mine several times and yet here I am again. PvP is the reason. I've watched huge windfalls of players come and go several times. There is a slow trickle of new players from Steam these days. I don't there will be any more mass influxes, and frankly, the game is even less capable of handling them now then they were several years ago thanks to some of the more recent design decisions.

Re: The Ugly Truth

That's ok, i felt the same way in EVE before i quit.
Lots of blogs, videos and updates, but it was still the same to me, nothing really new, nothing interesting left to do, terribly boring.
I guess you just can't play any game forever... roll

You'll have to give specific examples which involve things that your corp can do that no one else already can/does do to try to poach people - especially people getting disenfranchised with the game and development pace themselves.

What's sad is that you would make recruiting new people in a game where its so important to its survival with behavior like that. Are there no depths you won't sink to in your efforts to ruin the game? Are spies the only way to feel safe in a 6 vs 6 fight? Pathetic.
