Very disappointing

[WildHoney]

I bought twice a BP-booster. After 6 hours on line i've got 2 BP's and one of them was stolen by an another player. The other one came down while i was podded. I fly back from the hanger using a hyperjump and guess? My BP was away! Same things happen with cry. It has cost me more than 120.000 energy and i've got nothing!

Then there are Repogrub's: just when the assissin is at the point of dying, there comes such a creep and gives him live. Then you can start all over again. It's too much for relax playing. I'm very disappointent!

For example: you buy energy, you shoot Mantis and then you get some cry. You can say that you bought the cry. Then you die, fly to the hangar, 'pay' energy for reparation, then you must fly to the orbit, then to your destination ( in worst case 6 or 7 minutes) and when you arrive on the planet your earned( and lost) cry and bp's are gone! If you don't buy energy then you can collect it, but look at the time that you need to do that. Is this a 'waiting" game? From Vega till Mizar it was not a very big problem but on Sol it's a much bigger problem.

As i've said in an another post: i play a on line game because of the possibility to play with other people. I dont play a game on line for waiting.

I know that you must do something to come on a higher level, that's normal. But this is not funny anymore.
It's my feeling that it's no longer a nice game but a way to get as much money as they(Spliscreen) can.
I'we spent enough money but i wont buy anything anymore.

So becarefull out there!

True. The game has been more and more difficult. In the next system, there will be rank 1 drones at lz, but they will have 10 behemoths coming down as escorts if you attack them aswell as 3 invisible immortal repogrubs, in the end, you get 3 cry from the drone... uf you're lucky.

The difficulty level is well balanced. It's a step up from mizar and It was not made so people can race through it, get bored and demand we make a new system immediatly. High level players demanded a challange and that is what they got. Many people have been able to play through many of the missions so far and are enjoying the challange and complexity of it all. Sol is a high level system with 50% more missions than Mizar and 50% more complexity. If you are finding it difficult, you can play in squads which is more fun anyway!

Blueprint drop rate lower very slightly between every system as it always has been but nevertheless, i have seen from many player histories that they are encountering them at a normal rate. Many have even found the rares already!

We, at Splitscreen are certainly not "all about the money" the game can easily be played without buying gold, albeit, at a slower pace. We are a small team working with a small budget, we do require people to buy gold to help us pay for the expensive running cost of hosting and developing a mmorpg. If you want to get high level, fast, you can buy and use gold as you wish but it certainly is not mandatory. There are many games out there that force you to pay money to play at an adequate level, I am very pleased to say that Pirate Galaxy is certainly not one of them by far.

Yes, i understand and i am willing to buy gold, but i dont want to wait 6 or 7 minutes before i can play.
I don't want to be fast at a higher level, and i dont want to race trough the game. I just want to play.
ANd when i buy a BP booster i dont expect that they will fall every minute, but 2 in 6 hour is not much!

And yes I like the challenge at the Sol system and i always try to do the missions at my own. I don't care if it takes a longer time for my next level.

But now i have another problem: this evening i was shooting a lot of assasins and x-testers ( level 56) somewhere in the middle, but i didn't get any xp. Would you please be so kind to look at my account ?

I wish your team a lot of luck. KIndly regards.

I'm not really complaining... bp drops are low.. but, well... acceptable. I fully understand you, but be careful SS! don't make it too hard!

Please do not swear in the forums, This is your first warning.

Hi every1,

Come on guys stop complaining.
I think that SplitScreen is doing everything to keep the game running.
Every online game has bugs so its fixed. maybe not at a level we players demand but so be it.
Paying costumers expect to play in a bug-free game. They believe that is their right to get what they have payed for. True but complaining about almost everything that in their opinion isn't working properly! Why buy it in the first place? Why not asked around what the effects of the "x" boosters is?
The GM dont have all the answers but they are doing their utmost best.

I play this game for some time now and i like this game more and more. The increased difficulty factor is well noticed; it get harder to end whites and sm. Get podded time after time. I learn and in the end i do succeed but i play this game because i do like to play it. I have done most of the whites and sm on my own and i am working my way up to get a better ship (lvl 45 ships). I am getting there but on my own pace; i am not running through all the sm and white to get to SOL. I will get there eventuelly but no that fast.

The only thing thats bugging me lately is the terrible lagging but i am not the only whose experienced this. So i wait; log of, wait a few minutes and log in; most of the time the lagging has reduced but hey why keep complaining about it. The GM read the chatssessions and experience the lagging for themselves.

I play this game because i like the game; dont buy gold so my levelling doesnot increase that fast but i am getting there at a slower pace.

So SplitScreen keep up the good work. Well done

Now... 7 bp's... 1 hour... what the mantis have happened?

The issue simply comes down to money. How much money will the game have to cost before you give it up? I played a moon mission the other day that others were able to play alone, at least a dozen times without completion of the mission. Each attempt ended in my being podded, back to the hanger, 110 e to repair, 100 e to return to the moon,and so on and on.

Imagine my surprise when immediately following system restart when few players are on and lag is less, I completed the mission with ease. SS has simply put the player in a bad spot, at an unreasonable expense, under conditions that do not provide quality play.

For CQ on Saturn today, I attempted 5 landings. Not a single landing allowed me to play the planet. Framing, lag, inability to navigate, inability to target, and the fact the enemy was able to pod me before I ever had control of my ship, leaves me more than frustrated. More than one I was podded and my ship health still showed above 75%, and I still had health showing when the "rescue" interface appeared.

I am a paying player, elite membership with boosters. For most of the game I have seen no evidence of boosters working. And, a few boosters appear to be nothing but "sucker betts" that you will never know the performance of or not.

If you calculate the monetary investment the player has to make to retain a level playing field in the game, you will not be pleased. Like I tried to explain to the folks at Gamigo, they need to be aware of costs and the effect on the regular consumer. I do not see my completing SOL at this expense . . .

Hopefully when we roll out the USA server things will improve for our American friends like Datajam but restarting a new pilot may be daunting. We are in the process of completely overhauling the first 2 systems as you all can see from Vega 2. New graphics, new missions and hopefully, good fun!

 

[sbatten]

If and when you get your USA server up and running, I would not be at all opposed to starting all over and moving to that server
