Star Conflict OBT v.0.9.11 Discussion

Update 1 is on the way, in this update for SecCon we have lifted the rank requirement to 7th. As well as fixed some bugs. We continue our work on improving the SecCon, don’t worry.

 

Good job. Looking forward to it. 

Its only a screenshot, but: Its not taken during SQ. In SQ the T5 queue-bar is exploding. The Region is set to “ANY”

Based on what we see… there awere probably no players for your que, they were either all in SecCon or somewhere else like PvE or lower tiers.

On a side note, anyone else noticed an explosion of “looking for corp” in general chat since the SQ update? 

Not sure what a corp is going to help all these new players, if you can’t even squad anymore, and with SQ being… well, what it is:)

Will there be any change to how squads work in normal PVP right now?

There was no SQ going on at the time. If it was, we would have been queuing for SQ instead. All our reports for standard pvp are based when there was no SQ active.

 

No players?? The bars are exploding!

 

Check game time: 20:40. That is GMT+1. Pretty sure SQ was not active.

Exactly. There was no SQ, enough players queued for T4 (cant tell me those were all queueing for PvE) 

T4 and above just does not work since the last patch - Ive hardly played since thursday due to not being able to get a game. Waiting simulator is crap :facepalm:

 

How do the ‘Devs’ expect people to synergise T4 ships in order to progress to T5 if we cannot get a game with them ? Its utterly xxxx

Thank you very much gaijinent and star-conflict for the 24 hour licence given with the update 0.9.11.42888  ^_^ 

Another question: 

What about the synergy vs credit discussion regarding SecCon? Will it be changed in near future?

We have gathered your feedback, yes, thank you!

At the moment I cannot say what decision will be taken regarding that moment, but as soon as there are news I will try to inform you on that.

Sector conquest should give us FREE SYNERGY along with a normal credit reward. (it has been mentioned in the poll already and has been upvoted a couple of times for people to see. Just mentioning here again.)

 

Also, I have noticed that normal Q times for solo play is also affected. 4-5 minutes to wait for a simple T3 match? And 5-7 minutes for T4 and higher? Not good.

Have you considered economics in your bold text?

For sector conquest, i say: Remove faction dependancy… At least untill we have 20.000 playerbase.

 

For normal battles: Someone said on some post there, that we wait a lot just to fight the same persons, over and over. Thats entirely true! I usually play with my brother, in a 2man squad. Waiting times varies between 35 seconds (RARELY) to 4, 5 minutes. Not ALL that problem but, thanks to zapp i can see the queue, and sometimes it has ppl on it and the battle wont start. And when i see the queue for T4 makes me really avoid at all costs progressing further than T3 for several reasons.

 

Among them, here are some.

  1. Finnaly i have a few pieces of good gear for T3, and if i go to T4, all i will have is rubish. I wouldnt mind to start playing T4 with MK1 modules, but i would expect at least the correct modules fitted to those giant pieces of garbage costing absurd amount of money. Then theres the synergy issue, to level a T4 either i bore myself to oblivion doing pve with the garbage modules fitted in untill god knows when im able to get synergy and creds enought to buy the next ship until i reach the final T5’s and ONLY THEN focus on buying correct gear. Or i try to venture myself on T4 PVP that from the looks of it, the queue times must be absurd and with the crappy default modules will be impossible to win battles and gain good synergy… Basically, to move from the T3 that im used to, that the queues are already not good and synergy/creds gain is already a pain, to go forward is just a hell of a nightmare. Just think about it, to fill 4 slots with T5’s with diferent kind of ships i would need about 100milion creds just buying ships. To get that asuming i never get defeated on PVE and that im able to finish always in 10 mins and get around 350k creds, it would take me 47 hours straight to get that kind of money. 47 hours!!! I would commit suicide before that. And to get the synergy i bet the time would be even higher.

 

  1. There seems to be such a small number of players flying T4’s that seeing that just makes me sure that i will not get games to synergise my ships, not to mention that ill be fighting sporadicall T5’s along the way with my standard fits that comes with T4 ships.

 

Basically the game destroys our will to progress due to so many dificulties to progress.

I don’t know why so many new players want to reach T5 so fast. You really want to fight against full purple, elite experienced ESB and IGU so hard? A few months back, nobody wanted to play T4, everybody was just staying in T2 and T3.
 
Even back in the early 0.9 when T4 queues were short and games big, I only started flying there when T5 came around and they started mixing T3 with T4. Because you were mostly in same games with R11s and R9s, might as well fly R11s than (R12 was mixed with T5). T4 was the new T3, and Aces started pouring in T3.
 
Now it’s obvious tier mixing reached its intended purpose: to make players want higher tiered ships, because they are facing them all the time, and blaming their loss because enemy had better ships (not always the case). So now everybody wants those T4 and T5s, but you never ask yourself what what will you face when you start flying in those tiers. 
 
At least in T2 and T3, you get games, but with last few patches, it’s not worth bothering anymore for T4 and T5. Unless you like watching the clock tick and fighting 3v3.
 
Now, T2 is the new T3, and higher tiers are… empty. Even myself and some others fly T2 now. And this is exactly what devs didn’t want to see: veteran players plowing in lower tiers. They tried to prevent this by integrating these “systems”, but they achieved just the opposite, a total failure. I like my short queue times, so I play wherever action is left right now.
 
So new players get raped in T2 and T3 by veterans, because veterans can’t squad, they can’t play in higher tiers, so they go low, and new players get completely raped in SQ by veterans in T5 ships too. What a lovely situation.

I don’t know why so many new players are obsessed with getting to T5…

Please, watch your language.

Fixed it to “want”.

? I dont see bad language there, Antibus.

Maybe obsessed is a bad word in Russian. Some things just get lost in translation.

 

And lol, that image pretty much sums it up. Had a 22 streak in my duck hunt yesterday, not the best, but it was a good haul :slight_smile:

Because it was removed.
