After poking around on this forum for not long at all, I gotta say I’m rather viciously unhappy. I was already unhappy about the state of PVE and I’m even more unhappy about the attitude that seems to be in this forum. Specifically that of the administrators locking topics because they’re ‘related to other topics’ or more accurately, because you want the community to shut up so you can not address the issues apparent in PvE gameplay. It isn’t Players versus Environment, its Players versus Players Versus Environment.
The fact that a group of tier 4 ships has so much trouble surviving is issue enough, that Frigates are pretty much required is another fat issue. I don’t want to float around in my slowest ship in PvE, PvE is suppose to be the area where I’m free to do whatever the hell I want. Run the ships I want with the builds I want with the pretties I want on it, and still be relatively successful.
Even successful, -ALONE-, but this is not the case. If you’re alone in an interceptor, you can make a wonderful game of surviving for a while. But in capture scenario’s, there’s nothing you can do. If you’re the only one left, you can’t generate enough capture to offset the amount of ships that are CONSTANTLY hounding you. And if you run off to get them away from the capture point, it doesn’t even matter, as the AI has been configured to leave a ship behind and capture it back.
Bottom line is, there needs to be changes. I don’t have an issue with PVP balancing, it is what it is in every game that has PVP. That said PvE needs to be balanced to, it needs to take into account the individual who merely wishes to wander as he wishes doing as he wishes. Now the game doesn’t have mining, whatever, it has a crude freeroam search and take sort of thing.
But even in the free roam, I am not free to roam as I wish or kill as I wish. Enguaging a group of your stupid alien ships that are retardedly touch and dish out impressively unhappy damage, doesn’t make me happy. Its infuriating, and while I can avoid the ships entirely and go about picking up my randomly floating about stuff… Cat and mouse isn’t any fun when you aren’t the xxxx cat.
TL;DR:
PVE IS UNFAIR
PVE IS UNFUN
PVE CONDITION - (((WILL PERMANENTLY PREVENT THIS MAN FROM THROWING ANY MONEY AT YOUR GAME.)))
I love world of tanks and war thunder, but only World of Tanks has my money. You need to STEP. UP. YOUR. GAME gaijin. What you THINK is right, isn’t right. What is successful is right, and if you successfully convince me to stop playing this game every time I pick it up with issues like this, you are highly successful at failure. True there are others more patient than me, that seem happy to continue to play the game as it is. But I’m not, and these words aren’t coming just from me. I’ve heard them plenty often enough before, and while the PVP elements of the game are turning into a well polished gem, the PVE side of things is suffering for it.
If you’re going to include it at all, do it right, or don’t do it at all.
