So which are those broken mechanics in your opinion that are killing the game?

(Ville: how about not spamming this topic?)


From my perspective, spark teleportation is a very broken mechanic:

...promoting power projection of large groups, to spark teleport to any island without effort, to bully away any players or corps out of beta? While they can hold all outposts, without any effort or commitment...

Sorry but we refuse to see spark teleport as an issue. Or if it is, it's at least equally helping the game.

I cannot agree. It is killing the game for many players, for above reasons. The islands are to small for spark teleports. The alpha Islands may have a better teleport network, or better highways, to compensate the spark teleports removal, or maybe as mentioned, the introduction of a skill based remote buy/ sell orders system.

Spark teleports, the way it is used on this size of the world for pvp, is just plain exploiting the mechanic and it would be ignorant not to admit to this.

Where are all the secondary tasks left, which you might also call "creating sandbox content". Tasks for players to keep them motivated actually playing the game, like gate guarding, scouting, organised fleet movement from one island to another if you want to attack. idk, but those tasks have all diminished with ST.

I just thought I write down a piece of my mind.

I was so looking forward to the steam release.
Population was picking up nicely.

But this game is just dying. You now as everyone else does, it´s not because of the lags.

It´s because this game has seriously broken mechanics, which prevents any pvp by any new players/ corps.

How long does it take for the Dev´s to understand, that they are just promoting power projection of large groups, to spark teleport to any island without effort, to bully away any players or corps out of beta? While they can hold all outposts, without any effort or commitment.

I believe pvp could be very exciting and the game has what it takes. But this is game is ruined and we all know  by who, it´s by corps like CiR, -77- and PHM.

In the forum, all post are directly hijacked and are trolled, from those very players.

So how do you even expect, anyone will have fun, goals, or stay in this game any longer? It could be a good game, but as long those broken mechanics are out there, to promote those power blocks, there is not much point in even trying to play.

It´s a reward less fight against windmills. So I guess, CiR and Co have killed the game, due to that the Dev´s not doing anything against those power projection mechanics and for the many who have already left, it´s sadly time to move on.

Carry on trolling. That´s all what this forum is about anyway. The rest will probably sadly move on to other games.
