First off- *note since i don't know current top membership name, i'll call it by its old name, elite*
I actually agree 100% is too much. At least make it 95% at the very least. Why?
-High levels just grind away at lower systems. This was usually prevented or restricted by the smaller e around there. Before elite member ship allowed you to stockpile e and periodically go to a higher planet to refill. Now elites can just grind there forever.
-Contrary to belief, it gives an advantage in PvP. Not only at the self ressurecting part, but conquests. I have enough e to do fill up and fight in a vega conquest nonstop without an e break, but if i so much move into an antares cq i would run out of e. Now imagine sol. Regular people fight until they run out of e and have to abandon or escort the cq ship to an e field to refill. Elites will trail and shoot at the now helpless normal people.
-With all memberships except elite, you have to at least be vaguely know where the e fields are. With normal you absolutely have to know so you can plan your trip back there. If you don't know e locations or don't keep track of your e level, you are stuck in hostile territory basically unarmed. This also applies to the other 2 lesser memberships. Elites don't need to care, notice, or plan trips to e fields.

Second point- DO successful?
Let me enlighten you on how DO is successful.
Fat money boy cranks out $300 for best equips. He picks on random noobs. Some noobs in their extreme blind anger crank out $350 to beat him. Fat money boy goes to $400. Meanwhile, the former noob realizes his bad mistake and takes his anger out on other non-elite noobs. Those noobs crank out more money. A few noobs use their now elite equips to try some PvE. Majority still kills noobs.
That cycles goes on and on and on and is how DO is successful. Since PG isn't forced PvP like DO, i suggest you don't aspire to become like DO.

and what if i bought e???? does that make it unfair???? i used to buy 1 to 2 million e a month thats just as good as unlimited e for a month, isnt that still unfair for grinding and cq and pvp??? as i said before it seems the only people that are crying about this are the free to play players that seem they should get just as much as the paying player but not pay a thing. simple as it is if you dont like the new memberships dont buy them if you dont like the game now dont play it. Iv paid for this game for 18 months now and its about time splitscreen listen to what we the paying players want for once and not you cry baby we want everything free players. if you wanted unlimited e then buy it if you cant buy it just thank your lucky stars someone is or you wouldnt have a free to play game at all

The Energy Save is much more fair if you ask me,

I think it was unfair that low levels used less E then high levels, now everyone that wants can have the same things, it doesn't matter if you are high or low.

If you ask me the new memberships (ultimate)makes the game as balanced as it should be!
Do you like PG? Would you like to play for the next year?
Then accept this because SS have to make money so the can still devlope this game!

damnit
you are stupid, stop whine and go get a job! I'm 16 and I work for my money!

P.s don't buy the low memberships then...go for the ultimate!


Heriiwax, stop naming people and behave as should!
This is an unofficial warning due to your namecalling.

Wierdly it was not the ultimate membership that I was complaining about it was the other memberships.

The basic membership is the same cost as before and now gives only one item not all the items that it did before, that to me is a rip off.

I know people in the game who used to buy a lot of e anyway so for them the ultimate membership has saved them a lot of money, sadly though I think SS will see a lot of people NOT buying the lower memberships or any memberships due to them being not as profitable to the player as they once where.

We cannot all afford to buy the ultimate membership and get unlimited e, some of us need to fund mortgages, children and other things.

I would love to pay for the best membership but I do not have the money, I wont pay for the memberships I can afford if I feel they are a waste of money. Those that can and do well good for them

Don't forget that the lowest membership is not standard membership, what was 4K gold, it's enhanced membership what was 10K.

No one has thought that with the new memberships you have to collect LESS E. Before you played the same time as you play now with the e from membership, and then refill. Now your refill time is WAY LOWER( half of it was, because if it did X2 your e cap, you had to collect X2 e).

No it does not give an advantage when self ressurecting. You got to suck up does E orbs to have E to self ressurect. And it costs about 5k of E everytime.

What ever they have renamed it to its still costs the same and now doesn't have skin, e-generator, buddy cap increase and clan membership increase. All these cost extra and you still use the same amount of e before filling up 2x e increase = 50% less e usage.

The e-generator always seemed to give a nice boost when you logged on, so I never took that long filling up anyway.

using 0 e is a bad idea in my opinion(not that it matters :( )

why:
cause its the main activity in the game even with membership it didnt make the gap between free players and the ones who buy membership to big sure they could store more e but still overall you spent the same amount of time shooting and refilling (you could shoot longer but spent longer to refill)

e generator was all right it ment less time refiling same bigger e cap

now you can stay in 1 spot all day shooting and not use 1 e except if you self mat

money wise
this could go either way
reduced sales of instant energy with more memberships


but whatever float Splitscreens boat i honestly couldnt care less if they did this or gave members 1million e every minute

i kind of like the idea of unlimited e, but did SS really have to make all the other stuff seperate? why not just keep the buddylist and clan size boosters packaged in there, that way it'll be worth the 16-66k gold for a membership which currently only saves e. the way it's set up now, i'd rather just buy e shots, personally. 16k gold's worth of e can get me enough to last a week

I think it would be better if the skins didnt get removed. Atleast make the skins now do something to your armour to help instead of looking good, looking good isnt an advantage to killing the Mantis arent gonna say "oo he looks good we wont attack him"

Well.... For the grindin part of this issue the answer is lower instance cap. I think the cap is too high now even though I don't know how big it is... Lol

I agree but it won't change unfortunately. It is set to 50 for previous systems and 30 for draconis for now.
