I’m going to weigh in.
I think there are three mighty problems wih Star Conflict right now. The first issue is the denial of everyone’s skill and the comparisons people give unintentionally. This is mostly down to the arrogance of the player base that revolves around an elitist body whch is unable to evidently solidify itself. ArcTic has done the complete opposite, openly challenging players and delivering his promise despite the cloud of red he seems to have dispersed. Unfortunately, this has also created a seeming jealousy towards the better endowed players of this game who are in squads with players who are either not as capable as the higher echelons, or players who believe, somehow due to their elitist attitudes, they are considering themselves above teamplay.
The second problem we have is that there is a growing denial. Since the game hit 1.1, everyone started to disappear into other games. Planetside 2, Elite: Dangerous and several other games have been released. This will consume the player base of such a limiting game such as Star Conflict, which the developers persistently refuse to expand to give the player base what it is they are still asking for. The ability to trade items, an open space with a dynamic commercial market and element, more bases to dock at and further exploration into the functions of the game.
Finally, and this is the one I am going to address the biggest…
There is a huge, underlying conspiracy that the developers do not listen to us or account for anything we do. There id a conspiracy that somewhere, the Russian players of Star Conflict are teaming up against the rest of thr world to somehow spite us with this game and use the low ping they have against us and that they are delibrately maming sure every time you get a connection, they are on an unplayable Russian server where only players in Russia are able to get a good ping, that the US server is deliberately faulty and the European server will lag because they made sure they picked a server in Hamburg, where they will deliberately create problems connecting. This needs to completely stop entirely. Of course the servers are going to favour teams entirely composed of Russian players, because (shock horror!) you are playing a team of eight Russian players and half your squad is European. Don’t you guys think that Russian players have trouble playing on US servers too? They might complain as much as you do if they’re playing on a server eight timezones away on the US server. They encounter the same problems you encounter.
As far as I am aware, there is no secret coding the developers are trying to hide from you. Sure, Skula and Error might need to definitely be hoofed in the nuts several times for not being as sensitive as we wish they would be, but do you really think that they just sit around doing f… all? The whole point behind this is that basically, stop being drama queens about it. This is a computer game and not your real life. I, too, have spent money, but I’ve spent it with faith in the system and community I am happy to be a part of. If you really didn’t see anything good in the horizon, maybe you should have saved your cash before accepting the horrible truth: you will never, ever in your life, be able to say you have played a perfectly balanced version of Star Conflict. Your connection will always suck and you will forever be unable to resolve this issue. The developers will keep trying and trying and it will forever be a struggle against the conflicting opinions. All you need to do now is just accept this brutal fact.
That will be all.
