Have to agree with Celebro, they should have done was have a better tutorial in the main open world, Just basic doesn't need to be to in depth.
The "noobie" island however might have been a nice addition to the game as a "virtual test island" say similar to what planetside 2 has with the virtual test continent where you can try out all the fun stuff & test things out.

Damn Kiwi
But I would love to hear from Zoom why the "balance" patch never reverted & why they still choose to ignore the unanimous condemnation of it.

Maybe you guys missed that part in the blog, but time-based EP won't go anywhere.

Any bets that new players will QQ over vets who were able to get EP over time doing nothing. But they (new players) have to grind EP?

Any EP bonus for walk? (odometer)
bonus multiplier when on highways ?
I repeat again: it is not in the EP. No new content. Over the last 5 years have not added anything new since the start of the game. There were only rebalance. It loses interest of players. Ask all of their old players - they will confirm this. If a person is bored - he would never will do all these things. Listen to us at least once, do a good deed - add new content and you will see the result.
Give the players an incentive to play. I have a lot of the EP, like all veterans, but we get bored playing. We have come new players, but no more online, since you lost your veterans. Give a lot EP for beginners, they also leave because they get bored. Vicious circle.
You are trying to lure players with promises of wealth (EP). This is absolutely wrong. I already talked about this many times. People should choose your game. But it should be interesting to do.
Wow damn even chemist is making sense! There is nothing wrong with time based progression, neither is there anything wrong with grind based progression. But neither of these basic systems of progressing your character will result in this game gaining a longer term stable population.
In all the years I have played & kept a close on this game one of the big factors for population decrease is people getting board. New content must always be getting rolled out in a timely manner. If you dont do that then you end up with hardly any players & 5 idiots arguing over past glory on the forums.
People need to feel like they are progressing thru the game at a pace that doesnt feel so slow that they will have to spend years playing a game just to be "competitive".
But even grindy games can suffer from this not just time based games. The key is to allow players to hit "max level" in a reasonable time frame. That way people fell like they are useful but you must find ways to extend the their play time once they have hit max level. Most games achieve that thru pve content like questing ect. & thru high end gear.
Even with the EP changes the content is to severally lacking to meet the demands for what will be needed. What high level gear there is will be available to easily or yet again lack in variety & depth.
The simple fact is this Perpetuum will never again have a viable population. To many things need to change / be fixed / updated or added to the game. The DEV team is dedicated but they are is to small & under funded to do this.
Please I would love to be proved wrong... but I doubt me & many others will be.

Bro. The forums are probably the only reason I still play.
The forums are the most active part of the game

Re: Last ditch effort (15 replies, posted in General discussion)
Why would anyone buy this game? The engine is old & custom built & in need of a overhaul.
As others have said it would be better to start fresh with a new game.
TBH any "mech" mmo would be a smash hit. I hardly have time to play games these days but even I would chip money into a kick start for a game like that

Re: Playerbase (36 replies, posted in Q & A)
.... At least own up and admit to one of the biggest mistakes, robot balancing, which I can still not bring myself to understand what it was all trying to achieve.
The playerbase was unanimous on the decision to revert back, but they never listened.
^^ THIS 100% Balance before was good all that was needed was a few small tweaks & maybe a buff or 2 for bots / mechs that were under utilised.
But really the current lack of players is a culmination of many things. Most things stop at the DEVs feet. I think Perpetuum has always had a very good community for helping new players by enlarge. You'll always get a people who will be *** but as a whole I think the players have been as accomodating as you can expect in a sandbox game like perp.
The only real mass Quits I've seen have been due to the DEVs
