Star Conflict OBT v 0.8.0

Mercenary Center Patch Discussion

this patch killed it for me…absolutly hate it.

I have played since maintenance got off. 

 

At first I was confused, but thought that I should step back, come back later and try to play it for real.

I have done just that for the past 3 hours, and honestly, it is as bad as I feared and exactly what I had expected funnily enough.

 

Things that I knew were gonna happen and actually did:

Frigates can be made unkillable(The “guard” frigates) it’s funny, 2 v 1, and they couldnt even break my shield. Have had the same happen against others, cant even get close to killing them solo or with 2. and if it is a guard ship with an engineer with both hull and shield buffs active, yeah…see you later in 5 v 1 to finally kill him because you might as well turn away to try and kill others.

 

Things that I knew were gonna happen but actually turned out way worse:

ship roles! I figured it would be as before, with ship bonusses and specials switched around a bit…but the module restrictions together with the new ship tree are a TERRIBLE combination. To get a combination of ships that is actually worth it currently i have to spend several TENS OF MILLIONS of credits! 

Not to mention ship progression is completly bogus currently, dead ends everywhere, completly different ship roles that you NEED TO BUY before you can progress, meaning all your previous work to get your other ship fitted was for NOTHING.

 

Things that actually got improved:

Loyalty! It got a mediocre buff, but it looks quite good! Already found a document and it was a nice boost as well! so good job on that.

 

Currently I am really sad I spend money on this game and will probaly come back over a long while to see if it got improved any, but i fear for the worst…

 

 

edit: also, yeah…the new engineer wall that protects thingy? yeah…I have yet to see it get killed…it says it is of “limited strength” but when i have fired at it for a full 20 secs and its still sitting there happily ever after…SCREW THAT.

142

Wow. Did anyone ever told you about punctuation signs ?

Let’s not forget proper English, anyone reading that lost AT LEAST 20 IQ…

143

It’s stupid because with this “patch” what they needed to do was de-couple special modules from specific ships.

 

Because now I can’t have an assassin warp ship which is so stupid. At least with interceptors if it’s a covert ops ship, it has plasma web, which I hate. If it has plasma web, I can’t use my Orion unit.

 

It’s not just stupid because reward bonuses are messed up on ships that moved tiers, but I can’t even match my playstyle any longer with the current situation.

144

I like the new changes, just have to grind a bit to afford the new stuff, but overall the module and ship rebalance is good. except for the part where they changed some modules to different subfactions meaning loyalty grind is wasted :confused: otherwise it’s nice

145

Why was there no soft wipe with these changes? you have fundamentally changed the way ships work don’t you think that warranted one? Yes you would have had to work it out but dont you think  it would have alleviated a lot of the problems players are having?

146

Drones offer around 400 dps each. That is 2000 Dps.

The other abilities do 5k, and are permanent and cannot be destroyed. Plus they get 20% more damage.

This makes drone still underpowered vs the other frigate damage abilities. So its fine.

147

No modules should have been deleted without refund.

Please check the Modules in your warehouse, not in the equipment tab!

Remove the mark on hide equipped and check all Tiers, because some of your modules may have been ranked up to the next higher Tier.

If you lost any Gold Module without a refund, create a support ticket.

Well i have checked my warehouse tab as i dont check “STRIPPED” equipment on the equipment tab unless there is one hiding away… plus how about an answer to that mathematical post??? I have tried opening a ticket only to keep reading “YOUR SESSION HAS EXPIRED” wth??? i only opened it now…bug city perhaps?

 

Please read my post above as i am very clear on what the problems are.

 

Many thanks

148

I hate the new Ship Tree… Ship Roles is fine, but the new tree makes no sense at all. The previous tree was good, so why did they change it ?

149

some of your modules may have been ranked up to the next higher Tier.

 

Perhaps people didnt want thier modules being ranked to the higher tier?

 

Because, you know, maybe they would have bought the higher tier version if they wanted the higher tier

Its been a good 4 weeks for me and I’ve stuck around in spite of loyalty nerfs, various hidden nerfs, price increases and most of my friends leaving because of these changes. I almost have enough gold for a month of premium. The reason for staying so far was the fun I had using my ships and tailoring them to my needs. That is no more and so is my will to play this.

And another joins the club! Last few patches there were a lot of people raging, as could be expected…But now a ton of people are clearly saying they have had it with this game, which is a step worse.

152

Something like 75% of the game is Happy with the changes.

25% are very upset. I think this is acceptable because it nerfed a lot of those “ZOMG OWNED!” Builds.

 

Some minor changes need to be made to skills, and the patch is in the right  direction

My ship and all modules I had equipped to it (complete list on previous page) were up’d to T3 so everything is the same still, but I simply can’t equip it. I am rank 7 with techs and rank 7 with Jericho so I should have all the rep needed to equip parts. I’m now completely unable to play this game now due to having an unarmed ships and not enough in-game money to buy equipment for them anymore.

Ship = Templar AE which used to be the strongest T2 ship now its pretty much the most pathetic T3 ship I was able to outfit it to be a medium range battleship with extremely heavy shields and simply unable to do so now

 

Please bring the previous ship / equipment system back.

Well, it seems that for a game that is trying to battle such other titles like X-Wing and EVE online, they dont really learn with the success of those game DEVS.

 

EVE online was the only game that i know of that the DEVS deviated from the gamers requests and followed their own path to later on come to publicly apologise for these mistakes and return to the community requests… After all we are the ones testing the game intensively and put all our expectations on them to improve following advice of several players…

Honestly, i think im done with the game too if it remains like it is.

157

I think it’s wise to keep in mind that it’s possible the devs are testing a new server for the sector game a side from the new balance patch. At the moment it’s not much different than playing arcade mode.

 

thanks to the update some default Items are now, pretty useless.

with the patch they should’ve made it possible to replace them. Now I have a Fox with no modules. Had to buy one, it came with two.

 

I bit inconvenient, but can be a game changer, depending on the modules.

158

I can’t get configurations that I really really liked playing. As a new player I didn’t really have super strong builds, I just had it how I liked playing it.

 

I can’t get a microwarp engine on a covert ops ship. I liked my covert ops modules but now I’m screwed because of instead of just federation ships getting the stupid plasma web, all my ships I like get screwed by it.

 

The problem is

Recon = Microwarp

ECM = Tachyon Cocoon

Covert Ops = Plasma Web

 

Invisibility = Tackler

Diffusion = Command

Overdrive = Gunship

 

Drones = Engineering

Phase Shield = Guard

Torpedo/Sniper = Long Range

 

And you simply CANNOT move modules across those. You have 2-3 choices to make in your tactical modules now. Your customizability is complete crap now. Just choose the best faction for that type of ship and cherry pick the best ones.

 

On top of that you have to sink millions of credits to buy ships that you don’t like playing just to progress your tree.

 

All this for a pathetic sector conquest mode which is just glorified arcade.

 

 

So no, it’s not a step in the right direction. It’s sidestepping at very best.

159

“£15 for a ship? I’m thinking no”

 

quite expensive. I’m not even going to bother pulling out my wallet for a ship.

I’m new to the game, I first have to see if whatever or not spending money would be a waste of money.

 

This is an inherent difference between free2play games and ones that normally buy.

 

 

[update]

 

Managed to play some more with parts, I’ve noticed that I can’t equip the modules in my warehouse that I should be able to equip.
