Tau Ceti Issues - Beta Test or what?

[Topxxx]

This is really ridiculous, I got in game took 2 1/2 mins, Then went to land an I go inside planet never actually landed I was still in orbit inside the planet. Kind of a white ball could see jumpships could do anything. closed the game and can't get back in in either client or browser.

I have played this game a long time and put money into and do believe this is the worst I have ever
seen. They really need better Dev that know what there doing. And of course there will be no compensation for all the headaches that have started since Tau Ceti open.

The developers have learned from what they have done wrong in the past. So now they can repeat their mistakes perfectly.

juvenile responses aside...

Sirius was a mess when it first opened. And only through constant complaining/feedback we have um..., what we have today there.

No blueprints and ships because they made this without thinking up anything new. Just like with Sirius things will change drastically over time as they do come up with something and fix bugs.

Complaining is feedback and that is a good thing. If you don't want complaints alpha and beta test this before you release it.

Wait I guess this month to month changing thing is new. And I would like to see an explanation about it but, don't think I ever will.

Emmey NPCs are too strong. And what is with all the stuns and orbital strikes. I could see if getting stunned was like with a 70 ship drac'. You have made ancient ships useless.

The cryo amounts are on par with a next system after drac kind of thing. Sirius was supposed to be something apart from the normal star systems. Why would level 85 ships be so weak in the new system?

Unfinished random ideas that's all this is.

Hi,

I leave around here my impressions of Tau Ceti, at least from what i've seen so far in Tau Ceti story missions.

My impression is tecnologically seems simple designing missions: Transport to be accompanied, when it reaches a certain point a wave of attackers, transport stops and you must kill attackers before continue, but the missions themselves are very difficult to complete, you need a good support out to focus on the mission, well my conclusions about I've seen:

1 - Looking to do missions without having to spend much time on them
2 - High difficulty, so they just have to think of few missions and players must spend much time on them
3 - Almost indispensable requirement to have some kind of membership and cry protection

Result:

Sunday night, only two fleets in Aurora server trying to do missions, the rest of the players don't go to Tau Ceti. People are bored and hateful of such difficulty.

As should be (keeping the chapters system):

1 - Easier, shorter and more missions for each chapter, and not impossible missions for players who can't afford memberships.
2 - Being able to gain experience and level up
3 - More cryonite from pirates on the planet (the mission ones are fine)
4 - Ability to find new technology to improve our ships

Ultimately I think SplitScreen "has stretched his arm over the sleeve" (a spanish expression don't know how to translate), this is a system thougt for increasing the income of the game and what they will find is that people are going to get tired and will leave the game.

Greetings!

PD. Sorry for the translation system, it also don't work very well

Could it be a coincidence that one of my buddies found a planet on Sirius very strong, and there is 4 Sirius BPs on it??? Or maybe its work of the devs to quickly arm us to be prepared for fight with Venar pirates. Thank you devs, and can we have some cool ships with it?

I have been listening to the pilots in my clan since the release of Tau Ceti (those that can reach it that is) and most of them feel the difficulty level of the enemies is a bit much. The missions are fine but the amount of damage that is dealt to those doing the missions makes them just about impossible to pass. Given when Sirius was released there were bugs that had to be "ironed" out but people were still able to get things done(get bp's, cryo, and xp). As it stands ... I believe there is MAYBE a handful of people that have finished what missions are available. The idea of actually trying to do the missions in a squad is impossible as I have personally seen on one mission the whole area fill up with conquest ships ... all with their rep fields running. Let's not forget that those that have passed all the current missions... had to use mass gravitrons just to do so... and had membership/boosters too. Those that do not have these resources most likely will not make it passed these missions...

So pretty much it's like this... many of us feel that the pilots are overpowered/outnumbered by the mission enemies. There is no decent compensation for our continuous podding. More information on this "voting" would be nice as well. And we all DO need to have a little patience while things are "revamped" to the proper level for all of the pilots to enjoy...

I also agree that if WE... the pilots, do NOT say something about the issues we all are experiencing... then nothing will change.

I enjoy this game immensely, even pay to play, and wait patiently to see what is going to happen next....

Hi

What's the diffrene between Sirius an Tau Ceti ? When you arrive to Sirius you can purchase a new armor. In Tau Ceti, you can't do that. You must play some misions to have a new armor.
Tau ceti's pirates, are easy to kill, but our problen is the armor. If we buil the starbase we could buy a new armor and could be easier play in Tau Ceti.

Sirius was a fleet team-work system, so if 5 or 6 peoples play missions, all fleet members could take BPs.
In Tau Ceti, is a fleet team-work individual system,so if you would BPs, you must do missions whit your fleet help. If you don't do missions, you can't take BPs or ships.

My fleet in Aurora server was the first to do all missions (the 4th of this chapter). It was difficult but not imposible.

Bye

 

[handsanitizer]

this game just sucks now... we begged for a normal system but there too stupid to listen resulting in 4 or 5 f my r85 clan members quitting including me. There so worried about new players and don't give 2 looks at there old ones who pay for this game for years, I really hope best of luck to splitscreen but your not going to make it far like this.

 

[nachoninja]

What has happened? Are the forums jacked up too??? Why has my post been merged with others. It has nothing to do with the other posts that it has been merged with and now my question has not even been answered. Who screwed up this time???

 

[Mysterion]

Hahahahahahah some guy from Kalgan with pilot name Tanis leveled up to 87. hahahahahahah how he could do that. Maybe they turn on this level up system, so now all can level up.

Nope, I was trying yesterday the 4rth mission of Venar and I didn't get any level.

That mission is INSANE, I was on a two pilots squad and in the last part there where more than one hundred pirates to kill on the base, we where more than two hours trying that mission, and I gess we needed at least two hours more to finish it, I never have 4 hours to play continously, I got energy membership, I can't think how to kill all that pirates without it.

Splitscreen the success of the game not only depends on the pilots who spend money on the game. There are other games with lots of people playing 100% free, and they don't get stuck!

Also I've been playing an other game (not a space ships game) between draco and sirius, on that game the sm where easy if you had the right level and equipment, for complicated achievemets there were the called 'Raids' and 'Mazes', also there you could only get inside by a filter of level and equipment level.

There is a limit on entertainment and difficulty, you choose to made a INSANE difficulty on missions and now I don't really want to spend more money here, I'm planning to move to another game (where I got old mates that already leaved the game), if the things stay like that, move your way SplitScreen nearly all old players I know are tired of this.

 

[Mysterion]

Hey man dont do this, Adrana will lock this forum like all the rest if you continue to hate. Now tell me what we are about to do with this cheater Tanis?

 

[Adrana]

No Mysterion, there was no breaches of rules, and I must agree imo Tau Ceti has been created to only be able to overcome the missions in the best ships, equipped with mostly ancient items, the rest who has never found yet a Punisher, or has a Dominator, has to grind to get a new expensive ship again for to do them, or go crazy trying to jump from ancient planet to other, what can take months, for to find a Punisher.

I have seen only with that, and Domi you will be able to do all 4 missions.
I myself have given up, and I am not seen in Tau Ceti cause it is useless, I don't have a Domi, nor a Punisher.
So imo this is quite unfair for them who haven't found it yet.

All I hear is lots of struggle, and people getting very angry cause they cannot overcome the hardness of the new system, and missions in their ships they have bought, and equipped, yet Hybrids, but yet useless.

This is my 2 cents to Tau Ceti.

As for this player Tanis with level 87, please take a proper screenshot with timestamp of this players profile where you can see name, and level.
Send it to the Support, and file a ticket of suspecting cheating.
The forum is not the right place to spread suspicions, nor are you allowed to accuse anyone to be a cheater, unless you got proof, still not in a forum post. Not right place.
I am sure if properly reported with screenshots as proof this issue will be handled.

I haven't seen that fella so much online, but it's the usual lvl bug, it's were your states get's downgraded to lvl 1, and at that time you can increase your lvl higher, it's nto a cheat, it's a bug, and it's the dev's responsibility to give this pilots his states back, I am still waiting for mine...

 

[Mysterion]

Hahahahhaha you noob, you are trying to sell us the story that someone can level up to 87, by doing whites on Draconis?? Hahahahahha

 

[Last Martyr Elixz]

the subject of tanis is off topic and nothing to do with this subject. How ever those of you who play the game knows you get level xp off missions regardless of level if these missions are done for the 1st time. If your level 85 you get level xp from all these new missions for gazica leading up to tau ceti and you can also get xp from white missions if you have not done them yet and are level 85 currently then you have the potential to get to level 87 of the xp from all the whites in every system in PM and not in pm. I myself have done not 1 white mission in game as saw no point in them but will give it a go now also to confirm.

You cannot get more exp after the max lvl, even if were able to complete all the wm's inthe game which is atm available you won't get enough exp to level up, with booster or anything, you barely got any exp when you were lvl 74, almost 0, and at lvl 85 you won't get to even lvl 86 and level 87 is unthinkable, the only excuse is a bug. And in draconis after level 75 you won't get any exp from WM(I think, but who knows I might check it out).

Hahahahhaha you noob, you are trying to sell us the story that someone can level up to 87, by doing whites on Draconis?? Hahahahahha

Mysterion, he can defend or express his opinions about stuff even if he doesn't know much about the case, but it' doesn't give you the right to call him a noob and use "hahaha" to laugh at how he thinks about the matter., some might handle it, but other will get angry...

 

[MrPostman]

To that "Tanis" topic:
The official answer from the support about this pilots current level 87 was: "It is possible now."

So even when no one knows how that is possible, or no one else can level up, support says that it is possible (and they must know it, right?) Therefore gcronnie hast to be right with his thesis ....or the players account is bugged and Split dont want to admit it.

 

[Last Martyr Elixz]

That pilot is indeed bugged, I have seen his states, this as happened to many pilots here in Askone to or are you telling me a pilot with around 4800 kills can be level 87?

Even asked the pilots clan.

 

[MrPostman]

Interesting Interesting.

Ok, as I want lvl 87 too to get a higher energy capacity and support said black on white that it is possible now: how can we (not bugged accounts) can get it?

 

[Mysterion]

Do they realy want us to believe that we can change the future of Tau Ceti by voting??? Future of Tau Ceti has already been set up. Its not possible that you create 15 more missions, and let us choose desired 5? Whatever we choose, that 5 will be. Only the picture will change.

And no Adrana, 2 mysts and 1 constructor can pass this 2nd mission, but still is very hard.

 

[Raider1968]

Tau ceti looks pretty dead atm, on askone that is, not sure about other servers, hope it doesn't remain that way.
