new update the death of pg

[serebus]

Im not getting the "u found 1 of xx bp´s" cos i have already found all the bp´s in all systems but still need few goldies that im not bothering whit finding on the PTR (not in Draconis on my Askone pilot yet, prop never will) but i say this for the 20, time im having real problem steering the ship, right now that is my only consern ill worry about droprates later.
If i cant steer the ship i have know hope of playng, therfor not worryed about the rest.
I like this game alot, really, the good and the bad, but i dont under stand WHY CHANGE THE STEERING, i have never heard anyone complane about it........to be continued.

 

[HyDroxYl]

I will advice everyone to start looking for another game. I see no future for pg this way. 3 people on 10.000 like the new update.

I think you guys are being way too judgemental and saying you hate it way too easy. YES the bps in the higher systems are in too many pieces but they can adjust it quite simply. Plus bp drops ARE more frequant on the test server than usual and so are the cryonite drops. The only thing wrong with it is that there are a few too many pieces to collect.

and what you're saying about teh steering is total rubbish, you just don't like that fact you're reduced to nothing more than a newbie in a big ship cuz you have to now learn the basics again just like the other new guys. Not to sound rude or anything but ya sound like a bunch five year olds throwing a hissy fit over not being able to ride in the push chair.

The update is good so why don't you just button it and practice the game rather than constantly whinning. It's a change, now get used to it. It just needs a little tweaking.

and i ain't a noob just for liking the new features they are showing in the game I just happen to be able to use them and get on with it.

Using ab has become impossible murphy. And btw you and pbhuh are the only 2 ppl that like the new update on 10.000 players.

your version of impossible must be pritty much everything then, you're talking to a guy that just ABed through the hidden route tunnel on Technotoria twice, and went through the lustra and commerce central maps from start to finnish just fne, and I used abs. only times I ever had a problem with steering was when it started lagging out on me so you can sorta see why I'm having trouble with just how 'impossible' the steering is.

Right now i'm on the moon in an R45 storm. and am at the second E field right now. ther isn't really that much difference in my performance from when I play on the current live server to now so all you're proving is that you're one of 10,000 people that clearly don't know how to fly a virtual fighter.

And now I've gotten to the rank 53 snipers on the the moon. I mean other than the BP frags the steering is the other reason you hate the update right? Or is there even more you wish to add to the list?

Steering isn't bad.. I never said it is, it's kinda weird but it's nicer than the one atm

Exactly

 

[Nanopizza]

This is going to be the end of pg...well the end for me anyway...if they do that im gonna start lookin 4 a new game

 

[pbhuh]

I am gonnna proove for once that this new steering isn't worse, I get my mighty stam s- ship with the draco drifter and gonna try it both in the prison of mantis hive and on technatoria by the tunnel, if i fail, then yes the steering is bad, but i won't.

ridoi, i can survive very long on hive and the prison is one of the most save places, however i often get podded by red noobs that think its funny to gang a rank 60 ship.

 

[HyDroxYl]

pbhuh of course they gang you. rank 60 ships should NOT be on hive. If you dont like it, go on gazica and play there like all the good players did, as you think you are good player cuz you can survive on the hive.

 

[pbhuh]

look, pirate mode should be for fun, but its not fun when you get ganged by rank 70 pilots.

lol, that's why I went round all the hardest map, just to prove I could O.O I went right upto the top of earths hill too and I didn't pod once on any of teh maps I went on... Lustra, commerce, Technotoria, mars, the moon and Earth. I didn'tpod once on any of them, infact I might even ave done better than usual even with the lag

C.T. as my friend, clanm8, and fellow player . . . I will respect your opinion of the changes forthcoming. For myself however, nope . . . not gonna happen. I hung around untill this update as I had brought all the player issues I could think of to the CEO of Splitscreen in hopes that they would see some reason and return fun to the game. They have not done so.

As for the changes . . . unless you really want to hunt for BP's for extreme periods and then grind for weeks at a time to add the lower level BP that you were fortunate enough to get because you were farming harvesters and they and their intercepters drop the same BP's over and over, then you will need to pop open your wallet. After you pay your membership so you don't have to gather "e" every 15 minutes of play, then add "boosters" for "cry" protection, BP so you can convince yourself that you actually are getting more BP's than the next player, and the "cry" booster in hopes that you actually see a difference in your cry collection . . . You are looking at $50.00 to $60.00 per month USD on the low side. Too rich for my blood. GOOD LUCK Splitscreen!

I'll admit to being a fool, in my belief that Splitscreen was going to listen to the players and put the fun back in the game. But, I am not so much a fool that I see any part of this new game as playable by me. Just is not an acceptable product any more in my opinion.

Splitscreen will continue to produce the product they are presently and will acquire a bunch of noobs that have no idea how much fun this game used to be, and they will find it a cool game to play. It is a shame that they will never enjoy the fun, the intensitiy, or the player interaction we have all had the pleasure of enjoying. As for all my friends, enemies, and other associates . . . Tis been my pleasure getting to know you, and I wish you good fortune in the future.

To my friends at Splitscreen, I also wish you good luck in your future. But, I will never forgive you for the destruction you have done to this game. Do you know why I can pay for games like Star Trek and not ever think twice about the expense? It is because my membership cost a whole $15.00 per month. Did you ever think to lower the membership costs to a level that players found acceptable and leaving the game alone as fun to play, as your marketing method? Of course not. But, doing so was recommended by numerous players. Oops, my bad! I forgot you guys do not listen to your customers . . .

Unlike most here I only have a rank 9 ship on the test server. I spent 4 hours looking for rockets for my ship. In those 4 hours I got all 4 pieces of the blue rocket and 1 gold piece (gold needs 3). That's it. I can't see how Tech Mish's will be from now on. They wil take FOREVERRrrrrr As hard as bp's are to find in draco right now, I cannot even guess what it will be like tomorrow.

It seems like I'm 1 of the very few who like the hover ability. I love to be able just find a dark cornor and park. If it is decided to take this out plzz concider adding an "ancor" button someplace so those of us who wish can click it and park.

About the new stearing, well I'm out of that fight. I use the "W" ket to fly and stear with my mouse. So works just the same for me as it did before.

All in all I've never spent a dime on this game and had asked Santa for a membership for Christmas, but put a hold on it until after the update to see if it will be worth spending or if I'll need it on a new game.

Good hunting

ahh no worries Richards :O The player interaction thing has been bugging me too O.O I still think they need to fix the CQs to get anywhere with that. Even though I like some of the updates they've made of like none of them address the interaction issue. It's kinda boring now cuz the player interaction just isn't there any more. I've considered leaving because of this. Hmm all the good players are leaving O.O Not good

 

[Astraeus]

Player Interaction in the Game is a matter the Players themselves can actually Resolve. In the Game as in Real Life, How you look to others is all up to you. If Pilots were Friendlier, more constructive with each other, more helpful with each other, less whats in it for me type of attitude, Then the Player Interaction would be a much more Positive thing.

I have seen over the past 6 months , many Pilots taking the attitude of "What can I get out of this" alot more so than "How can I go & help others & work on getting what I need" type of attitude.

Though most everyone knows this, for those that dont, I, Myself am also a Pilot in the Game (Please Do Not ask who I am as I will not say). I am always there to help others when I can. I see lots of Pilots wanting to only get what they need & move on. As a Pilot this is very saddening. I remember the Old Days when a Fellow Pilot when asked for Help or Advice willingly gave it to you. Now there is a handful of Pilots willing to do so.

Bottom line is this & was written long ago: "A man that has Friends, Must show himself Friendly". Think about it. If you need help ask for it, but in return 2 words are appreciated & will help restore Player Interaction within the Community - "Thank You"

I understand where you are coming from and to an extent you are right it is down to the players and I to have noticed the 'what can I get out of this attitude' from many pilots but to another degree Split Screen really aren't helping matters. A large part of the fun with player interaction was the CQs, I'm assuming you're an old player from what you've said so you know how fun they used to be before they brought the new one they got in. Players work together for a common goal they share but to be honest SS just aren't giving the players that goal. There has to be something to help a clan glue together and something to fight for, or against and just as with the old cq system SS kinda threw that away. Unintentionally I'm sure but still that's what they did.

I know for a fact that if they fixed up the CQs a bit the players would flood back easily.

i continu my pilot in askone since 1 week...when i reach antares, with all the best blue BP, i tried to get the armageddon on avengers...after 2 hours killing them 1 by 1 hardly, one guy came around and hit with me..he already had the rare blaster....i said to myself...fine he want to give some help.....after 10 min the armageddon show up...i start to collect it...he jump on it and took it before me....how that is...what kind of player can play like that!

i was thinking the askone server was better than the trantor one...but now i doubt it...everywhere the same.

i heard it still need around 20 BP in draconis wit the new system!...well i will play askone server till sol and probably stop playing after that..loll
