What's new

The Bungie trap.

L

lance

Well done SS, you have fallen into the trap that Bungie did with reach... I would have thought with the recent failure of that game you would think twice anbout doing exactly the same thing?

What is this trap? Only catering for the die hard players. You actually listened to the people who wanted it harder because they finished too early and so were waiting for draconis on the week of the sol release. A little advice.... No matter what you do, these players will always finish really fast... They play so many hours a day that they can put in the same gameplay in a week as i do in 3 months. There is nothing you can do to stop the addicts finishing the game super fast.

The new system has been built for these people.... You have attempted to stall them whilst you think of your next system/game. It hasn't worked, the addicts are already on the last Sm's, but what it has done is ****ed off a lot of the people who liked the game, but did not dedicate their life to it.

If youve noticed, Halo Reach is only played by the MLG and try-hard gaming group, its been deserted by EVERYONE else. This game is going down the same route. People like a challenge, but theres a difference between a challenge and something thats just plain annoying.
In my opinion.... Post if you agree or disagree with any of this...

PM 2.0 is bad.
Draconis is bad.
The mission reward system sucks.
The CQ system is a ******* ***** **** **** **** **** **** **** melon.
The clan alliance system is bad.
The CQ reward system is bad.
The repair droid sucked (idk if its been improved)
The SM's are uninteresting.
Draconis seems unfinished.

I remember the days when people were vaguely friendly, and helpful... Yes these players do exist still, but i see a lot more

"stop stealing kills"
"these are my harvs"
"cry stealer"
"will someone help me with (easy mission)"

The community doesnt seem as genuinely friendly as it used to be, and as you said in your "on behalf of the Gm team" post, You have a lot of complaints... I swear that there never used to be as many complaints because the players were satisfied with the game.... If you are getting so many complaints the perhaps you should consider that it probably means that you are annoying the players, which will cause them to leave.

So... A word of warning... building your game around the "hardcore" audience never works, especially if the game was never for them in the first place. So, good luck to all the people who are struggling on with the game, it is no longer worth my time to play.

This WAS my favourite game, ever. Mainly due to the mazing communtity and support from GM's, but the last few updates you guys have seriously shot yourselves in the foot. Ill be checking the patchlog occasionally, but untill a decent update, bye.

ok just to say to most of the players out there,some of u guys asked ss to make the game harder saying it was "too easy",well when i started this game and it was not easy,i only joined a clan when i was in gemini to get some help with missions and so,guys ss did what u asked and your punishing them for it,really i dont mind these updates,the repair seens decent enough now and easy in pvp,so guys think about what you are saying and then talk

I quite agree with Marcs25, after the collective teddy and a few dummies where thrown out of the pram with threats of players leaving , not going to play anymore etc, it is really funny to see said pilots still tooling round in PG now rank 70 and above in draconis ships. Why are you still here?

Hypocracy at its best :mad:

that is exactly my point. Only a few players wanted it to be harder, and it seems that only they were listened to. I have no idea how well the repar droid works now, i only remember the first update of it. Ill test it today at some point.

its just the way u look at it u can say it became harder.

i like to see it being harder more teamplay is needed to get your stuff done i think that is good in a mmorpg game.
even if u dont have much time u can play and have fun maybe u cant get in end game fast like u wanted but hey with teamplay u can get anywhere.

so u can say they done all bad but if u look at it in another way u see teamplay is what they want u to do.

after all it is a mmorpg and u play with other ppl u dont have to be able to finish all solo then it could also be just a solo rpg...

greetings jixao.

who wanted harder game, answer is simple, ppl who are using bosters.
Its like doing sm in ship from higher system - easy.
Why SS listened them ??, they didn't, they just wanted to make game harder and stop ppl to finishing it fast,
Such ppl were only excuse to do this. You know how they are fast in developing new systems, but as owner of topic said, they dont understand difference betwen boring/annoying and hard game.

Sol difference for most of ppl was a little to high, especialy for those who arent playin entire day, day by day, draco system its just unplayable. Second, prices and drop rate. Not hard players, to buy ship need to grind month, or more, who will do this so long not playing only shoting stupid harvs...

at first i didnt like draconis to that was just because i failed at doing sms and i died alot.
but after a week i found out how to move without dieing and sms became easier to.

it just takes time before u know the map and u are able to play good and can do what u want.
but why should a game stay easy.
its good they made it a little harder so u can teamplay.

In Gazica its possible - for hard/middle players, but hive is....

There are pilots here who do not have boosters and are surviving quite nicely thank you. I'm one and quite happy to carry on playing. You adapt or die .

Correction: You adapt or switch to game that has no item shop, better graphics, better gameplay, and almost completely skill based competition.

I know a game like that. I'm going to buy it.

Interesting...
What u said is very true.

Lol I noticed this in Sol.SS tried to make sol too hard, so the ppl would not finish it in a few days.But they failed, in a few days, ppl had finished sol already.

The same thing in draconis.They made it even worse than sol but there is a difference here.In sol it was a challenge, in draconis it is not a challenge anymore.Its who has membership and boosters.Personally I like challenge.Why?! Because the more challenging something is, the more fun it is.

Simple isnt it?We all play here for fun, not to finish systems in one day, no to be the first in ladders, not to be famous players who broke records etc.Only fun thats all.FUN!!!

With this new ''system'', which btw is UNFINISHED, there is no fun anymore.Solo players are forced to leave the game, free players are forced to play in teamwork and have a very low chance of succeeding, those who pay are forced to pay more becayse these days not only u need membership and cry protect but u also need boosters sometimes.

The only ones left to enjoy the game are those who pay insane amounts of money.Thats all SS, once again u failed to stop ppl, but this time u killed the game!!!

Btw I wouldnt be surprised if one day I came in the forum and saw in official announcements that the game was closed.

Dark Lord
