Loyalty

You guys do realise they are compensating for lost Loyalty with the patch on Thursday?

 

This conversation is becoming an echo chamber feeding itself separate from reality.  

 

It will be an especially great time to play.  

How much of a masochist are you, so you accept putting up for no progress license time wasted for 1 week. Also with knowing new players get 24hs license now, thanks for that one too devs, as if they dident had already so many reasons for not staying. If after all this facts you don’t see the money grabbing move then im sorry for you.

“Yeah I know you used to have a pretty wife, and now they forced you to masturbate with sandpaper instead. But it’s going to be much better tomorrow. We’re getting finer sandpaper!”

 

I’m “live and let live” kind of a guy, but I would appreciate it if you didn’t assume that the rest of us are hardcore masochists like yourself.

lol, but in all seriousness, the only reason im here complaining so much if because i want this to change i dont want to have to leave. I think that’s why many of us are so angry, because we care for the game.

You realise you are getting compensated in the next beta patch?

 

See you online.  

where did you get the info about compensation from?

where did you get the info about compensation from?

they add it on the patch note after the outcry we did on the patch day, changes nothing about forcing us to bear with it for 1 week instead of reberting to the old patch.

I’m getting a bad feeling about this all :-/

Because you didn’t read the patch notes.  

Just grow up guys.  

In other news, original patch 0.7.10 notes talked about “upgraded” reputation gains, while hotfix talked about increased.

 

Both offered something around 10% of loyalty gain in comparison to 0.7.9, decrease of about 90%. I’m almost afraid to see what “compensation” will be.

 

 

But I suppose not falling for obvious bait and switch language makes me stupid, and I should “grow up and just swallow it”.

They are fixing the problem at the earliest opportunity without breaking the game.  

 

What more do you want?

 

At no point did I say anything about your language skills, I understand your posts clearly and I appreciate you making the effort.  

 

It is unreasonable to complain when the devs responded within days saying they will fix it and compensate.  

They’ve always done right by us before.  

This is a beta, there will be problems.

Nah. Game development doesn’t work like that mate. Between version control (ie. they can roll back this specific change with one command in a few minutes) and the fact they “broke” it in a lot less time, I’m calling shenanigans on it requiring more than a week to fix.

My bet is that they’re just using this time to gather statistics to figure out how much grind they can get away with without killing their game.

Game development does work like that.  

 

They hold back bug fixes for a major patch.  

Weekly is quite normal.  

 

Releasing early breaks things.  

Like this version was broken.  

 

And they doubled the Contract reward within a couple of days.  

 

This is a brilliant turnaround time for a released game, let alone a beta.  

I think making drastic changes like this should have been for a closed Beta. People’s opinion of what a Beta is and what is done has been warped because every company is doing open Betas. Now it’s just an “early access” thing and not a refining tool. Too many companies, like this one, skim the line between “released” and “beta” as an excuse to turn a profit and alter the game with no consequence. They get all the customers to buy things and if something goes wrong they can just shrug and say, “It’s beta. We’re still fixing things.”

 

To be honest with the amount of F2P and “Beta” games I’ve played I’ve seen worse and really wasn’t expecting anything else. I don’t know why everyone is so shocked. Yeah, it sucks, but I don’t believe for a second they’re trying to “balance” the game. It’s about balancing the profit.

 

Still having fun though, regardless of the scams/changes/fixes.

New Loyalty system is $#!@.

 

Previously, it was possible to gain Loyalty rerliably in all game modes.

 

Currently you’re doomed to either waiting more than you play in realistic mode, or slug through a dozen f-ing Combat Reconnissance matches(which are the OPPOSITE of fun) with no gain at all, once your only missions available are the Beacon related one, which do not translate into other modes at all.

New loyalty system is very gd, or it will b when its finished. Todays patch increased the frequency of contracts, now if they just increase the amount it will b a gd system

 

everyone is not lookin at the big picture, previously it was far to easy to gain subfaction rep

Gonna make you a bet: They’re not going to drastically change or increase subfaction loyalty gain from here on out.

+50% loyalty income this week.

This not solve the problem…

yes. This is not a solution. Just temporary compensation before the actual new contracts system come

I am a supporter of the devs, but to stop a lot of kids from rage quitting a bit better compensation might have been good.
