Who would do such a thing..

Have they released anything from the July roadmap post?

Very right.

Been playing mostly scifi for over 10 years and getting tired of it. Killing some goblins and elves is nice for a change.

Zoom said he wanted more smaller factions. Even on the off chance that Betas will have space for two factions, it'd still be terrible compared to what it could be.

Why not show the possible divergence after the distance on the artifact window? A la Name 3000m (+- 150m).

You said we'd never conquer Domhalarn or Bergers and we proved you wrong on both occasions. Regardless, if Betas continue to be sparsely populated wastelands you can rest assured we aren't even going to play much since other games have a lot more to offer us.

In any event, only suckers love hating. Let's see what Zoom has to say.

@Zoom:

With STC we held everything. We were the all-powerful 60% left with everything and the rest of the game were the lazy and unorganized ones left with nothing. During Steam launch we lost all the outposts to the new 60% and fell into the lazy rest of the game bracket left with nothing. Even to this day people left playing are hitting SAPs daily and guess if the largest entity is holding every single outpost or not.

Problem here is that starting a life on Beta is supposed to be the next natural step for corporations looking to grow beyond Alpha, but if even second-to-largest entity is unable to live in, or even capture and hold a SINGLE outpost from the largest, how are the smaller ones supposed to do that?

Do you want the game to be Pets&Landlords Online or do you want it to be something people find worth playing?

Not true for rewards like better industry bonuses, outpost auras and other perks only useful for entities actually using an outpost.

I think the big issue is they do full deck balancing changes and then throw it aside for years to come. They need to either balance by small tweaks only, or be prepared to do small tweaks along the way since it's impossible to get it right the first time.

Current meta has nothing to do with the theories Syndic keeps spreading to his little chickens. He's a pathetic little man that feels the need to make up stories about others to feel better about himself.

Real reason is that balancing patch made everything more generic.

Nerfing Robotics bonuses made all the specialized hulls less specialized and that opened up a window for Seth MK2 that already was the strongest and most flexible hull in the game to suddenly take over the roles of other robots. Neut like an Ictus, jamm like a Vaga, shoot magnetics like a Mesmer.. sounds familiar?

If you still want to blame Burial, the spreader of love, appreciation, non-judgement and happiness for anything, then blow a ***.

You want people to believe we're responsible for the balancing patch.. because of a quote from DEV Alf in a thread about possible changes that didn't even make it to live.

Your argument is your own quote from the same thread about these same changes that didn't even make it to live, now claiming it's Heavy Online because people no-longer run around in EW mechs.

Silly and pathetic.

Pre-patch Castels/Troiars and 800m short-demob Zenith were IMBA AF imo. If they did the speed change they promised, added stacking penalties and removed viability from using heavies as EW platforms it'd already be way better.

His point is he still hasn't found a way for anyone but his friends to recognize his brilliance.
