Oh my god, the PRICES. This is madness. Better brace yourselves for what is coming now…
I’m gonna board that train, upgrade prices are ludicrous, MKII gear quite a bit more expensive now than it was before the patch. My main gripe would be the 112k vouchers to upgrade one t3 item from Mk.2 to Mk.3? Really? So before the patch one could purchase all the Mk.3 gear he unlocked through loyalty level for any of his ships, and now with the vouchers I got from lvl 9 loyalty, I can upgrade a whopping 2 items to Mk.3… From this level of farming required am i to understand the devs expect players to have max synergy t5 ships before we are able to equip our t3 ships? I wouldn’t want to sound too harsh but these upgrade prices are shameful.
The upgrade to Mk.4… is really steep, tho you have mentioned the drop rate of artifacts has been increased so i guess i won’t go into that until I’ve played for a bit.
I think that was also the amount of time it took me to earn enough credits to afford MK3 items. I used to be filthy rich a few updates ago, millions and millions in the bank with nothing to spend them on. It seems that’s not possible anymore (I guess buying ammo killed it).
Maybe this is for the better, since my progression used to be limited by credits these past weeks. Now you need credits and loyalty and you earn both at the same time. We’ll have to see how this plays out.
That depends on playing time. I compared my own for that.
these HUD improvements, dot, cross, big cross, are hilarious. Would you mind adding the option “old hud [x]”. This is all I am asking you for. Please, do me and many others this favour. Just remove the comment signs from the old code and add an if else line. If you cannot do it, I do it for you.
Have you dropped any as of now? When you do, you will see that it is more than 2.
Not yet - Still trying to figure out whats changed exactly etc (That was just a joke) I will mention again though - why have the speed implants been reduced with no mention in the patch notes ?
I really love the changes to the HUD, I just wish there was a way to compress it all together.
The last time the HUD was changed, the information got spread all over the screen. Later it was brought back to center again.
Now it is back to being all over the screen. The Speed and healthbars feel too spread out. I don’t like how far my eyes have to wander off target to gain access to information that I need to know immediately. Where those items were located before was much easier to use, and overall made the HUD feel less of a hinderance and just a seamless experience.
Again, the new HUD has a lot of amazing features that make it easy to get more information quicker, but somehow everything has become spread out as a result. Please tighten it back up. Thanks.
Okay Antibus I felt I had to create a forum account to say this. As a game developer I know you guys want to make money, hard to put food on the table otherwise but the way you have done with the weapon upgrade system requiring so much faction currency you will discourage players. As a relatively new player I feel that the amount of grind I’d have to put in would be insane to get a weapon upgrade (to level III), Your players are your content even the free ones as players draw more players if you reach a too low number you won’t be able to have proper matchmaking, look at tribes ascend. There was plenty of players and people got tired as time passed by due to their draconian P2W decisions (same things we see here essentially (I’ll elaborate on this soon)). As they released a patch to make the progression twice as fast they regained a ton of players but at that point it was already too late as they had gotten marked as a greedy company at that point. I hope we can have a better dialogue and from what I’ve seen so far you’ve responded to most questions and remarks considering the patch so my hope is you will read this as well.
Regarding the long grind, currently at T2 I’d need 30 000 faction vouchers to upgrade my weapon, a win mostly nets me 600 vouchers. That means I’d have to win ~50-60 matches to get my upgrade, the average player would then need around 100 matches to get an upgrade. Right now I just barely scraped in enough vouchers for 1 weapon in my playtime, that is 8 hours played with more than 1.0 winratio. I hope you realize that this is quite insane as you require more and more vouchers as you progress.
Im missing Xenon Lamp T3 MK3 for example and much more
Some of the modifiers are discontinued, so if you have been to battle with these modules, they were not auto-refilled after the battle. (We have informed you of that - that all modules you had will stay with, but after you use all of them you won’t be able to buy more).
hahahahahah them prices. now there will be SUPREME gap once u make the transition between ships tiers.
every1 will have full blue/full purple from previous days and u will have 0, unless u save all your loyalty… oh i forgot u need xxxxTONS OF LOAYLTY now
atm i see no reason why to even progress further in tiers. best will be to stay in your current tier and just parasite on players that just got there.
