DEVs should get what they are working on done first.  Remove sparks and see what happens.  I think that will be a significant change which should be assessed.

It is you that keeps posting in EVERY topic that beta needs to be changed to YOUR point of view.  It is your propaganda campaign that is pushing for these changes without knowing what the previous changes will do.

That's exactly the *** problem, dude.

Your best prognosis is everyone not on your side becoming more active, allying up i.e. 'organizing' and continuing this two-sided game charade.

Once one side is gone, which will happen eventually, the game is dead again for months/years.

How the hell do you think the game will grow that way??

Crayons Part two:

-Restraint.  It takes what we did for you in STC.  Backing off onslaughts to give you time to grow and get bigger. 

It takes diplomacy: 

Who do you think Burial talked MQX and Zwiss into recruiting Merkle and Lucian Night into STC so you'd stand a chance???  You didn't think your leadership wasn't pushed that way for a reason did you??  Lol. 

You HAVE TO ENGAGE IN A DIPLOMATIC MANNER IN THIS GAME.  It's not "bending a knee"  Or being "A Pet".  It's about conservation of the food supply and understanding that if you want a game to play you sometimes have to do something that violates your core belief in control.

What You and your CEO won't get it through your head.  Is if you wanted to be treated with respect you have to act like reasonable adults and stop insulting and engage in a diplomatic manner the community.  Or your going to get treated like the black plaque and anytime you do ANYTHING in this game you'll be met with extreme force.

And it's really *** funny coming from me.  But I ain't got time for trolls and complete disrespect anymore.  I got time to play a game and not act like a *** 100% of the time.  Regardless, the choice is upto you if you want to play ball or not.  Regardless we and my comrades will be doing something constructive like trying to build a community of enemies and friends.  Regardless we have fun.

I personally convo'd MQX and told him to push to get Merkle and Lucian into STC.  I did it on 4 different occasions.

2 of those occasions was before they joined M2S.  Ask him yourself. (MQX)

When STC suffered a huge lose at Karapyth, I told Zwiss(We talked quite often and many of the CEOs in different corporations regardless of relations do.) I told him he needed an FC, RG was on bad relations with Eharmony and I told him he needed to gain an FC and then there were numerous other communications behind the scenes.

And as far as the game is concerned, it won't grow unless there is content added to keep veterans entertained or advertising to gain fresh blood to the game.  That's as simple as that.  Nothing to do with recycling OLD content.

Ville, you want the status quo right now because if benefits you nothing more. Having more SAP opening in tandem will create bigger fights, well, actual real fights not the one we have now. Big fights are what made Eve popular, not 3v3 fights. Quality is better than quantity.

Population is low for many reasons but this game centres around PVP and politics the most, it's the player made content that made this game great once not PVE, there are other games that are much better for the PVE content.

Almost everybody that like these types of games know about Perpetuum already. You know why most of them don't come? *** player politics and corps that want everything for themselves and the devs have NEVER really done anything to counter the 2 sided alliances.

Crayons Part 3.

THERE ARE NO REAL FIGHTS IN PERPETUUM.  Unless both sides feel they can win.  You want bigger fights?  Log in and help your alliance take Norhoop or defend SI.  And your wrong.  Quantity > quality.  You can't force quality fights BECAUSE PLAYERS WILL ONLY RISK ASSETS WHEN THEY THINK THEY CAN WIN.  And if they can't win they just dock up or go do something else.    You can force quantity with Ghanks, roaming and interdicting logistics.  Those are the fights to have because they escalate quickly!  Real quickly.

All you people QQing on the forums!  Please login the game and see how it's played.

Fixed it for you.

I logged in this morning betas were EMPTY!!

wow, you actually logged on. nice job

First you tell us how *** the game is.

Then proceed to berate the Dev's and players alike.

But, please, still log in and play the game.

I feel like I should be rolling my eyes, or laughing.  Lets go with laughing.

Now that this is among our plans, have a bump.

What to discuss:
* Pair up intrusion times, so selected outposts/SAPs will always open at the same time
* Makes controlling multiple outposts much harder for one corporation
* Possibly make intrusion times public for everyone, remove intrusion scanning - feedback needed

And another idea to ponder that I thought of already after the blog was out:

* Activate all 3 SAPs of an outpost at the same time when an intrusion starts
* Each of them still have a 1 hour timer, but all of them can be completed by anyone
* The final stability change will be calculated from the 3 SAP results
* Just examples:
Owner completes it: +5 stability
Enemy completes it: -5 stability
Timeout: -1 stability

For example if owner can complete 1 SAP (+5), enemy takes another (-5), and noone bothers with the 3rd one (-1), stability will change by -1. If the owner can complete all 3, stability will change by +15.
