I have also posted this post in the General Discussion forum, but it doesn't really fit there, so I will also post it here in the Praise, Rage and Rants forum.

I have just about given up on this game. I was really looking forward to Draconis, thought it would be exciting, but after its release, things have gotten worse, WAY worse! Is it just me or have the BP drop rate in Draconis gotten lower?! It takes me I don't know, about an hour or 2 just to find ONE simple blueprint! The Repair Droids are completely useless now, and the Draconis techs prices are ridiculously high! Cryonite in Draconis is pathetic, and is now extremely hard to grind and to level up! Now I will be taking a break from PG, and I will probably soon completely quit if this game if it doesn't change! I might visit from time to time, and might come back when things have gotten better than it is now, but for now, you won't be seeing me around. I too have found another game, waiting for its release. And playing another game while waiting for that games release. You'd better change SS, or you will lose a LOT of players!

Back in 2009 things were much better than what PG is now, people were happier. Yes there might have been some bugs back then, but it was a bit more easier to progress through the game, and I didn't see ANY rants on the forums!

About the old CQ system, it was MUCH better than the CQ system now. Because at that time it wasn't all about how many people were at CQ. Now, the CQ's are pathetic, in the old CQ anyone could enter the CQ, even people without clans, people enjoyed, and could come at any time while the CQ is on, and could leave at any time while the CQ is on. Now, the CQ's are all about number, because now the most people at CQ win because a clan with 40 members at a CQ can easily take out the other clans CQ ship, while the clan with the least number of people lose the CQ due to the other clan with a lot of people destroying their CQ ship within about a minute or 2. Another problem with the new CQ system is that now people who aren't in a clan cannot participate and enjoy.

Please remember that this game is called "PIRATE GALAXY" for a reason! People should be able to come and leave CQ's at any time they like! Clanless people should be able to come and go from CQ's at any time they like! If this game is called "PIRATE GALAXY", then why is there SOO much restrictions?! There is no restrictions according to a pirate. Pirates have no rules, they do anything they want! Pirates come and go at any time they like! They kill anyone and take anything they have. Pirates do a lot more, and if you continue adding restrictions, then why not change this games name to "HAPPY GALAXY"?! I don't see anything to do with pirates in this game anymore! and now when you pod a player, they lose nothing! completely nothing! back in the days they had a small chance of losing a BP(or rare) to the enemy player! now we lose nothing! We should atleast be able to lose a tiny bit of cryonite!

Another problem now is the: "you can get EXP from mantis that are 8 levels below or 8 levels above (or in between)", I do not agree with this! If a lvl 60 kills a LOT of mantis drones, then yeah fair enough he shouldn't get any EXP. But if a low level kills something more than 8 levels of his own rank, then he should get the EXP, because it makes NO sense that a low level killing a high level mantis and gets nothing in return!

Something else that needs to change is that higher system ship being able to do white missions in ANY system. White missions aren't story missions are they? It wouldn't do any harm if they could do white missions in any star system. Now, the final problem, is that engineers can't repair you from out site squad? I'm sorry but I do not agree ONE BIT of this. The engineer class have their name for a reason! Now they are completely useless, I think they should at least be able to use their materializers to materialize podded players. Otherwise they are almost useless.

Another problem is, whatever happened to the starter pack in the item shop for new players, I think it should be returned to help new players get into the game, along with the accelerator booster and the prober booster.

Another problem is the new Vega system storyline, I think it should still be like the old storyline, because the old one gets the new players used to the game story lines, and the old one also requires more teamwork than the new one, the new one is actually easy, I could do all new Vega story missions WITHOUT being helped until I got to the Aurora missions, and on the PTR I could do all of them solo until "Behemoth battle", ALL in a lvl 3 ship!, same with on the live servers!

I am sorry for this huge wall of words, but I just had to say this! Delete my post if you wish, but what I say is my opinion of this game and which way it is heading, which I think is going down, we all have our opinions of this game. Like I said, I will visit this game from time to time, and might come back If things are better, but not now. This is the reason why I have given up on this game, and for those who will still play, good bye and good luck!

Good Bye all.

I wonder? Has anyone taken a count of how many complaints have been posted to this forum since 11/24? Seems to me that 80 to 90% of this company's customers are making complaint. Why aren't they listening? And, if they are listening, are we so insignificant to them that they do not feel it necessary to respond to us in answer of our complaints?

I hate to say it...

But the SS take over sucked.

The only thing that stayed the same was the awesomeness of the GM / community team. Most of the major updates and changes to everything in the game have failed to improve and caused more problems then what they intended to solve.

I have gone back to playing Gamigo games. Because they are good. I hope I see a few of you there too...

I hope we will ever be able to get back to gamigo.

Sure Gamigo had problems, I rememberd a few months ago we complained we all wanted to be SS when Bigpoint players also could change.

I had high hopes when SS started to take control of things for themselves. I will say, the GM team did improve a lot, but that is down to Astraeus and Delloda, not SS.

As for overall game play, things have gone downhill. Shame, I really used to love playing PG. Now, I look at the icon on my desktop and cannot be bothered. I was actually playing solitaire the other day instead of logging into PG.

More Problems!

The bounty.. Now why does it have to be warscore!? In my opinion this is ridiculous. This is a pirate game! We should be getting Cryonite instead of pathetic warscore that is barely of any use to us, since Cryonite is the main currency for this game, It will make things a bit more interesting and will make players a bit more alert if they have a high bounty. Plus, if someone has a bounty on his head in real life, then they would place MONEY, on his head, NOT things like sweets! And now, the warscore is like the 'sweets', it is of no importance at all.

Again, this is called 'PIRATE GALAXY', I myself think the rule of not being able to help lower system players in a high system ship is ridiculous, same with the tech limit rule, for goodness sake this is a 'PIRATE' game, not a 'HAPPILY EVER AFTER BLA BLA BLA' game, again, PIRATES don't have rules (or not much anyway), hence there name. So what if they whizz through the story missions? Again pirates don't have rules. so why with so many ridiculous restrictions?

The repair droids now don't even deserve their names! Sol 'SUPER' repair droid.. No.. doesn't work good AT ALL on Sol ships anymore. Draconis 'DEFINITIVE' repair droid.. Doesn't seem so 'Definitive'. Either make the repair droids repair more.. OR.. reduce the amount of health or armour or whatever you changed, and change it back to normal.

Now Draconis is not a challenge... ITS TORTURE! With our repair droids being almost completely useless, Sol ships can barely survive on Gazica. And same with the Draconis Sniper, as I tested on the PTR it seems to only have a tiny bit more HP than a Sol Tank, and thus dies as easy as a sol ship!

Now a HUGE problem is gathering cryonite, WHY should it take us like week just a get a ship with armour, and like 2 more weeks to equip the items? this is pathetic, boring, and ruins the point of this game, the point of this game is to fight, and have fun, NOT grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, all day long just to install a blueprint that you want onto your ship, this ruins the purpose of this game!

Energy... SO SMALL AMOUNTS! It's like we fight for about 5 minutes, then have to charge for 10 or more minutes, even when you (SS) Have upgraded the collector to make it collect more faster, it hasn't fixed the issue of Energy. I have looked in a patchlog and it says that the energy capacity will be increased, I am happy that it will increase, but what DOES still bother me is that will it just increase by a bit? Or will it increase dramatically?

I really do hope SS do something about these problems or there will be chaos. Again, my opinion of which way the game is heading(downwards). Please do something about this SS.

Good luck all.

Tyrannus.

i agree with this, i remember before i stopped logging in that i was having trouble grinding a simple 10k cry for components to put on an ANTARES SHIP! (i was grinding all over the place too because no planet had sustained cry drop rates for very long...pros, molikar, mars...etc.)

-what you write about draconis, i could write about gemini. -even in antares i had a pilot that simply couldn´t get the first repairdroid on terasa to drop. -i think it´s a part of the sick programming that when you are new in a system, absolutely nothing will drop for a period of time. -also it have come to my knowledge that some new vegapilots don´t get a refund on selling their old items, because that they are not aware that they can sell it. -what was wrong with the old item shop, with an automatic refund?!? -i often yell out ingame, CALCULATING BUNGHOLES!!! (and i guess that most of you old players know why;) -they (ss) are constantly fiddling with our items and the overall balance of the game. -newly my geministorm just couldn´t hold it´s own on prosperous, and my geminitank was not shure to survive a meeting with the very first deadsquad there. -some have been eased out, and thanks for that. -but they (ss) are more and more acting like doubtful persons, and the mantis they just have become. -i´m very sad too that they (ss) seems to only being ruining their own creation and wasting our time to infinite boredom. (infinite boredom = name of the last system?;) -but i am shure that we (the brave pilots:) will continue to hope for the best, as long as we can:)

I agree with all what is said here.

The game has changed a lot, in a bad way, and it changed its players too.
When I first started the game, ppl were very friendly.I remember grinding in prosperous with 4 other players, at the same spot and none of us said a word.

Nowadays all you hear is ''this is my spot'',''dont steal my kills'',''these are my harvs'' blah blah blah.
A few days ago, for example, I went to molikar.Found a good spot but without even shooting the harvs, someone came out of nowhere and said my to get out of there.OK i left, and after half an hour searching the planet, I finaly found a free spot.After a few refills, I was out of e again.10 mins collecting e and I came back to find someone shooting the harvs.Ok, np, I can agree with that.But no, this guy claims he has 2 days there and he wants me to leave.

What im trying to say with this story, is that ppl are not friendly anymore.They only care for themselves, forgetting that the game is for all, and not only for them.The grinding too, is a big problem for me.I dont know how does ss expect us to make the cry, if I can hardly make 10k without having someone come where im hunting.I would share my spot with someone else.But when 2 or more guys come im forced to leave as I cant ask them to leave.

There is a good idea in ideas section about making planets for grinding only.For me, grinding is the biggest problem atm, I want that to be solved.I dont care for hard missions as long as they can be done.I dont care for losing cry, as long as I can get it back.I dont care for paying, as long as I get what I have payed for (for those who are curious, Im a free player, but I wouldnt be so if the game was worth it).

Regards
Dark Lord
