Promote the DLC / Pirate ships.

Since T4 is populated, I have never came back to T3, except when players are so scarce than a corp squad won’t find a game ever, or in case I have to help low tier players.

 

T4 is great, and I’m looking forward to have T5 populated as soon as possible. I need to level up moar ships!!

 

Concerning what Neo said. Premium ships are not better than standard ones. In fact the only reason to use premium ships is to farm credits and free synergy.

Yeah but some premiums have some really sweet bonuses and fill ranks that you can’t get otherwise. I don’t get it, if they want it really simple, why don’t they just make a copy paste of ship stats/combat bonuses from premium to an accessible corresponding spot in the normal ship tree. 

I’d buy a premium just for the sexy skin + fast economic advancement (credit/synergy + no repair). I’d still buy it. But it’s a bit wrong that you don’t let players have the same ship with same combat bonuses, also in the regular ship tree. And it would also resolve the eternal “P2W” dispute when it comes to premium ships.

This has given me an idea… To the leveling board!

forgot to swap out my PVE anchor when hitting PVP launch. picked it first for realistic mode saving my better ships after the initial drone suicide.

no fancy moves. not even a good inty pilot. average DSR 1,200. you can make a portrait using oil paint. you can do it using pencil. as long as you know your tools and the limits you have to work with, you can make great art. it is the pilot not the ship. it is the artist not the brand of paint he uses.

 

If bumping up T3 DLCs up by one tier helps the game population I’m all for it.

This module, ship, slots talk. It is just that. Talk.

What are Dev team’s opinion on merging the tiers down to only 3 tiers to improve waiting times ? Or do you firmly believe 5 tiers is still the best structure ?

 

Negatively. Two adjacent tiers have too big difference in power, and merge them in one battle is not a good idea.

 

sigh.

 

anyway … it doesn’t take much to restat all the ships to make them work. it’s just a tedious proposition.

I played yesterday. It was midnight EU time and 600 players online.

 

Someone please redirect me to the server where “T4 is populated”.

 

I couldn’t even find a T3 game.

It used to be populated but haven’t played PVP myself in weeks because I cannot be bothered with the queue times atm.

Not sure if “glad” is the proper word but, I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way.

 

I seriously tried to fly T4, after 10 minutes gave up to go T3, after 4 minutes or so got a 6v6 game with 1 bot per team that didn’t last long enough to even score a kill trying the new Sharpnel.

I think certain players lie about T4’s popularity to trick more pilots into queueing in the hope that will get some players there…

I played yesterday at 20:00 CET time. Plenty of T4 and even T5 games.

 

Maybe you should check your gaming times…

So 23:45-00:45 is a bad gaming time? 

 

bad enough to have 600 players online? don’t think so

Well, as at right now, 1625 online, nobody in T4, I’m not gonna bother queueing for something like that:

Will check again at 20:00 if I have the time.

Slightly better but still nothing that would make me queue:

T4 is PVE tier.

You might have hit the spot :smiley:

 

T4 is PVE tier.

You mean queuing for t2 / t3 pve ? Coz for t4 pirate bay, it’s the same long waiting time… While t5 start real fast :smiley:

Yeah, pass midnight GMT, it’s time for pve… past 1:00 am, you can log off if you don’t want to wait for 10 min to play 3v3 games.

Question on the behaviour of the devs about rearranging tiers

Negatively. Two adjacent tiers have too big difference in power, and merge them in one battle is not a good idea.

 

sigh.

I don’t think it will be that tedious. The ships doesn’t need changes in stat to make that works, maybe some ships will need to be adjusted in rank to fit a better ship distribution in each tier and a smoother progression (as all ship of same rk have similar stat, I guess the devs have a formula for it). The gap beetween rk11 and rk15 in raw stat is pretty small in reality.

So, my suggestion is to upgrade all the DLC ships by one Tier.

Right. Probably the pay-to-speed-up-crafting module. Sorry, I got overly optimistic for a minute. Don’t know what I was thinking, hoping for something nice.

I can’t give info about that but it’s not pay to speed up crafting either.
