Comments on new patch

[Razzorkill]

I just want to say that the new patch made the game better, I like the looks and the ability to scan, bps, cry and energy : )
Making new cq times and not as often is good it was too much having all cqs in a row everyday..
I like that the cryonite drops are now based on technology and not lvl makes it better for a rank68 like me : )

But however the chances of winning the ladder is 0, I was hoping the warscore system was changed back but nothing was done...
And my kill counts is not increasing on mars, I remember back in mizar times my kill count even increased when in gemini, so how come it don't increase when its in the same system as my ship?

And there is some bugs that happened though I only played for 30 minutes.
My repair droid and afterburner was not repairing or gaining speed it was running but nothing happened..
And the graphic bugs is still there, a pyro set me on fire and I was on fire until I logged out.
As it said in the patchlog, minor bugs fixed.. was neither of these minor bugs?

And can someone tell me why my Blueprints found amount was increased from 522 to 530?

The only problem I have found is with the game controls, I use the arrows and numberpad to fly and fight. the numberpad no longer works and I have to use the number row on the keyboard, not a major problem but it s very awkward to fly and fight using different controls.Apart from that nice job.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! IT'S HORRIBLE! Put it back the way it was! Curse you SS and your constant meddling! :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: And it makes my game lag!

(sry for that, just had to say it)

EDIT: Now i've calmed down, I can explain the pros and cons.

PROS: No collector colldown is nice
Vega looks much better
Having chat up all the time is a bonus
Nice visual style
Starter ships look awesome

CONS: Interface seems more user unfriendly than before. Not good for trying to get new players in the game
To get to orbit you have to press a button for it to come up rather than it being always there
Buttons are unclear+small
Game runs slower than before
Avatars are v.cheesy

All in all, I give update 5/10.

 

[nebulaman]

the new update is a triumph!!
the hud looks much sleeker and smarter, and i like the ability to choose an avatar. i havent really checked out the new vega system, but the starter ships look about a billion times cooler than the old ones did.
good job SS, you did something right for once
and emporar, i think the lag might be your end. my game, as ever, goes smooth as a greased pig ^^

My game lags a little too now.

Sorry to say this, but this update may just be the update that makes me leave PG. The icons for all is just to bloody small, i can't see them, which makes my gameplay absolutely horrible. I don't like the fact i have to click to get the option to land, orbit, or so on. then choose what i want to do. I don't use my keyboard i play with the mouse all the way. 2 clicks to be able to land or orbit is a bit to much.

My 2 cents on it all
Crassie

 

[godman]

Crassie i agree with you i don't like the new HUD it maybe looks smarter, but all of us are use to the old one (or atleast me)

 

[BucaneerBill]

Crassie I think it always took 2 click to orbit or land, as you always had a second box come up asking if you were sure I think. My comments on the new patch are that its good, especially the collector, except the avatars are dodgy looking and I am getting some lag. Maybe my connection though.

 

[stimo]

can you bring numberpad back plz i was pod 2 times because i puch on numberpad and that is not funny but it a good lay out only bring numberpad back on ptr you could us it

Yes bill it took 2 clicks. But i could see clearly where to click to orbit, not a tiny hardly visibly button to get the option to do so. My point is that it's not clear what to click on, and when you can't even see the buttons clearly it makes it even more hard to know what to do. I really liked playing this game, now i don't know maybe time to rethink.

[poseidon]

Crassie u only use your mouse to play?? Now i can see how this interface can be annoying. Not the best suited for clicking, this update is alot more keyboard friendly. Specially with the new hot keys. f5=orbit, f6=land, f7=dock and f8=inter planet jump. When it comes to lag, it seems to be better than before so i dont know why its lagging for u guys.

 

[Emporar]

Just played at peak times and there was NO LAG AT ALL. Wow. How strange.

And with quality at medium.

The avatar icon is nice thing, but I wish there was a warning that once you choose one face you'll be stick to it. I wish they have resources to add a custom icon maker to next version. It's great the avatars follow the visual style of the game.

Collector's scan option will be usefull.

Changing the chat text presentation place from upper right corner to lower left brought PG closer to generic way this kind of games are.

I'll miss the old style anin-1300

All in all I like the new game and interface. It's not too drastic a change and as with the previous updates it'll take maybe only couple play sessions to adapt.

I'll miss the old style anin-1300

Don't worry, the old starter ship and lvl 7 ship are still in game..AS RARES

...which i can't get. damn damn damn damn DAMN

 

[Razzorkill]

And it isn't rank7 anymore its set to rank3...
Colonial lifter is like the old starter ship rank1
Colonial jet is like the old armored transport rank3

tbh, within a week of playing, ull have memorised exactly what each button does without having to look. It will take a bit of getting used to, but it will eventually become something that you will not have to consciously think about before you do it.

EDIT: ok woah. this is going to take a bit of getting used to lol. Looks very nice, but this is weird. I downloaded the game especially to see this update. It is better than it was, but the icons are not very self explanitary, like they were

-don´t forget to make experiments with the screenresolution in setup to what suits you the best, and remember that the gameclient gives full screen -and i simply don`t understand how somebody can be happy with a useless avatarface?!? -the fact that we could see what ship our buddies were actually flying, was pretty usefull. (if you ask me?
