No denying the lack of foresight by the development team on many many attempts and no denying the pet trolls that roam the forums with nothing constructive to add, just looking for the attention they must have not received during their childhood. Reading your comments puts you on the fence as far as I can see. If you have something to add or deny, please state the development of the game that I have missed. If you are just commenting for attention, then please take your seat on the little yellow bus with them.
Do the devs make mistakes? sure have, will they make more... thats a given.
First off your OP comes off as moaning & given the tone & content of posts you have made in the days leading up to you making this thread theres really only one way to read what you said: That you are upset with what the DEVs did about walls.
Should you be a little upset? i guess so. For that i dont blame you or any others that might feel the same way. Did i feel a litte peeved? yep i to spent money & now ide have to work to maintain it. but was it a surprise? F*** NO.
Heres the difference between what some sections of the community have said after the nerf. Pre nerf they put their fingers in their ears, yelled at the top of the voice & ignored the obvious. Many also fought tooth & nail on the forums defending walls as they were. And while this heated discussion was going continued to build walls at an astonishing rate.
IGNORING the simple & basic logic so many were saying. Walls had to & were going to get nerfed. When the server got a restart due to the situation on KENT.. that should have said to every one "Walls are OP nerf incoming"
Are nerfs unheard of in MMOs? not at all, in fact they are a regular occurrence...
Your first post reads like a child who is still throwing a tantrum. Its reads like a moan post. << i know say'n this is harsh but its just how i see it mate
My personal recommendation would have been to write a post & give it a day .. re-read it & make a slightly less whinny post.
But if in all honesty if i turn the troll of in me (it can be done ) i get 100% what you say. And this is what my thoughts are:
To the DEVs:
I love this game. you have built a game which has the possible future of being one of the top MMO sand box games there is. But you must stop rushing content onto the live server like you have & do. with probes & walls we seen a gross lack of foresight.
Many players can only take being messed up for so long.
What happens to perpetuum in the next 6-12 months will make or brake your game. What you do With PBS & just as importantly HOW YOU RELEASE IT. Are of great importance.
Us players i believe understand the rushing half baked content to us is a bad thing. And so it taking an inordinate amount of time in releasing content.
I encourage you to continue to engage us where possible on new content not only thru blogs but also on the forums. Give us your vision for the game over the next year. We know not every thing you say will happen. But as it stands development seems haphazard.
You have the support of your customers... & i dont just mean the ones subed now. Many former players want to see this game succeed but they could no longer wait.
Never stop communicating with us
True Pros make a Podcast to influence the Devs minds,
The rest of you guys are Hacks
PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?
