Yes to buying Faction Bots ... Would I buy a Vanguard Mesmer for 45000 tokens, hell yeah!

Vanguard (black) bots were rewards for winning the first (and only) tournament, they're a real tangible PVP achievement that shouldn't be given willy-nilly to carebears and RMT farmers, especially since only Devs know how many tokens have been exploited by carebears while nobody else was playing.

Re: Devils Advocate

I would say specialist bots & mech that have specific bonuses & attributes to them would be the way to go.

Use the same models we have now but say more tanky version of a Baph / better masking / detection / speed / ect ...

Keep tournament mechs as unique items in the game

True Pros make a Podcast to influence the Devs minds, 
The rest of you guys are Hacks tongue

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ? tongue

Re: Devils Advocate

The devs should take note and see that Steam launch is a HUGE opportunity that they wont get again. I think they should seriously take a look at their game and get to the root cause players dont remain sub'd and focus all their efforts to fix that problem. What good is getting all these players if they cant retain them. It will be another Eve exodus all over again. I cant even spell MBA but if your business model is centered around a product that generates its revenue by repeat business and that product isnt getting its customers to continue buying after their first purchase then something needs to be fixed. Follow bots, RSA nerfs and vertical walls should all be on the back burner.

Re: Devils Advocate

Again, this is hilarious.

Somethings gotta change, but not this stuff.  So we have to stay with the status quote for the sake of the game.

Even tho, thus far, the status quo doesn't seem to be working out so well. 

I gotta say the Dev's are either laughing there *** off, or crying in disgust.

Re: Devils Advocate

We could have special bots that are somewhere inbetween common ones and black bots. Or I dunno, other class robots.

Problem with the Black Bots (tm) is that there is only 10 of them without any way to get more, so you rarely see them even on Alphas. DEVs could just send posters or toys with the nearly the same effect.

Have a productive day, runner!

No one mentioned staying with the status quo, until now. lol It is hilarious.

I hope players stay long enough to worry about the changes currently in the works. Havent seen many do so thus far but you never know.

Re: Devils Advocate

Game just needs players.

Most of the people who left when the game was popular left because there was just beta pvp and nothing much else.

Most of the people who left since then left due to lack of a playerbase.

They need to ignore silly quests, and focus on getting new players active on gamma, and make it worth while for them to make little robot houses ect not that the community would allow that before devouring them and their little robo-homes.

Quests wont draw new players in, getting new players to be able to take part in gamma without getting ***, and allowing them to terraform, create a base, and have something to do...that will draw people, and keep them in.

Id like the idea of a protectorate per island on gamma, then allow for new players and small clans to occupy the island...some sort of system that would make it worth while for mega alliances to protect little people living on the same island as them ect.

Gamma is where this game shines.  Running missions...not so much.
