ok, as this is my 401st post, i am going to post all the things that i think are wrong with this game. Some may seem unfair, agree with me or disagree, i dont care. I have recently stopped playing, here are the reasons!
So, lets get things started!
First off on my hate list comes the subject of boring story missions. Since gemini, the story missions have been getting progressively worse. Wait. You make me do a story mission that requires me to EXPLORE A PLANET???? what kinda of mission is that? what happened to the epic hold off fam doom while the rest of your squad escorts the vendetta? The story missions have just got uninteresting, and the plot is so cliché it makes me sick...
Second up we've got the lovely topic of bp drop. I miss the days when the bps were hard to get because of the mantis strength and not because of the rarity. It used to be fun grinding bps, and used to take about 1 hour 30 mins to get all 8 bps... now ud be lucky to get 1 in that time.
Now, this is kinda related... DETONATORS!!! i hate the way its like "ooh you might be close to killing me, oh your so close! no wait *******! i just blew up in your face! hahaha now you get no bp or cryonite drop! how annoying am i!"
You get my point.
Now, we have the cryonite drop. this is just silly. The ONLY way to get decent cryonite is by grinding harvs that are lower levels. but you had the WONDERFUL idea of restricting this. Again with my amazing impressions "hey look the next ship you've got to buy is like 240k, but you cant possibly grind this! ha! good luck in your sol ship in the next system!"
Another thing, since gemini the planets have just got boring... what happened to the stark contrast between technatoria and commerce central? gemini is a beautifully designed system... the rest just lack the inspiration....
The ships in gemini are *******, the planets are epic, the missions are inspired.... What happened to this? where did it go...
Mizar was, to say the least, dull... as is sol.... the missions in sol are REALLY hard without being remotely interesting... it just irritates me to see such well designed missions in the past and none in the future...
My next mission related rant: INCOMPETENT AI. Its fine when you have an AI with a repair droid, but why does it use it when its on full health? and not when on low? the decisions they make are illogical, and especially when you have really difficult escort missions and you literally cannot let the AI take on 1 mantis by itself....
Onto another topic... CONQUESTS. It didn't need changing and yet you changed it. Now its stupid and annoying and the focus is wrong. Killing players is so much more fun then killing a cq ship... it causes so much lag too. hate it, the old system was so awesome... I am again thinking about the good old days on desai which i spent so much of my time... It saddens me to see it ruined.
MISSION RESTRICTIONS!!! I dont CARE if im a higher level then the system, i WORKED for it!!!! surely i should have the benefit of easy missions in vega if i spent 30 days WHICH IS A LONG TIME getting to sol.
Reward your higher level players, dont punish them. That is not a good motive to work on...
ANNOYING MANTIS: why is it that you have to give the mantis that drop the blaster bp aim scramblers.
you waste so much energy looking for the most important bp. It defeats the point, and makes it extremely annoying looking for these bps. I have managed to miss 16 shots in a row on an avenger. That is just over the top.
So, rant over, until i can find something else to rant about. Id just like to say I loved this game till gemini, then you started bringing in unwelcome changes... mizar sucked, so did sol.
Update:
Heres a few more retardations that i need to point out.
MANTIS COMBINATIONS! you have officially made it even harder to grind bps then it already is by forcing players to kill mantis they dont need anything from because they are in the same spawn point. This doesn't make it that MUCH harder, but makes it MUCH more annoying because you cannot grind what you want.
DEATH SQUADS! the death squads in sol SUCK! WHY DID YOU GET RID OF THE CUSTODIAN?? part of the fun of mizar and gemini was that you always had to be on your guard from death squads stunning you. Now, because the signor has such a short targeting range, you can avoid them really easily. In mizar, taking on a lvl 40 ds on my own in a stun ship was pretty difficult. In sol i can do it with my eyes closed and my hands on 1 and a tab button.
PAYING REAL MONEY! Wow! if i pay £30 on a free to play game, I get my drop rate for rare blueprints boosted from 2% to 4%! what a worthwhile booster! (im not called lieutenant sarcasm for no reason)
Boost it really high if your going to pay that much.
For example, a membership to xbox live is £3 a month, and that is way ore useful then the £30 one here.
LACK OF HANGARS! ok i know it doesn't make sense to have hangars in sol and draconis, but if so why did we have them in gemini? and why do they orbit the cq plants? THAT doesn't make sense does it? it is really irritating having to waste 500 cry and 2k e just because you podded once.
and finally; LACK OF GRINDING SPOTS! You have put more places to level up then you have to grind cryonite. It is ridiculous. For example in the epic failure of a system aka sol, you have 1 lvl 45 harvester spot, on mars. Yet there are 2 lvl 57 harvester spots and 2 level 60 harvester spots on earth. You think we WANT to grind higher stuff?
I might not even be back for draconis, I cannot see how it can be better.
So, for those reasons, im out. this game has turned hideous from an amazing concept. good bye, and for some of the players, good riddance. The only good thing I have to say about this game is the gm team, who are the best I have ever come across, which, considering how many Internet games I play, thats saying something.
So, have fun endlessly grinding cryonite for that unachievable parsec, have fun being to scared to turn pm on because of the unbelievably high cryonite drop when you pod, have fun talking to little kids who think they are more important then you, have fun ganging up on players, and have fun being anything but a pirate.
Ill see you all on a decent game, it was fun, sometimes.I would have named this thread "GOODBYE" but, recently, it hasn't been good.
Even if this is a rant, mind your language, there are still existent forum rules, even though you are leaving, there is no need to use foul language in posts.
I also change the color of your font cause it was not readable.
