So, I havent played in a while, but reading patchnotes it seems that this game isn't worth playing anymore. Let me explain - I have no more than 1-2 hours of playtime available. Divide that into few games (SC, Witchers, Darks Souls etc). Now, how the hell am I supposed to advance in rank, with rep and loyalty gain being what they are. And it doesn
t even matter if I buy the license or not.
I’ll give it a try once it updates, but if its as bad as everyone says it is, then whats the incentive to play? Sure, its fun, but when you`re stuck playing t2 all the time without hope for t3 ever, not to mention t4, it gets boring fast.
You can’t hope to unlock anything with 1-2 games a week.
I don’t think it’s reasonable for you to expect to be able to.
I’f you’re only playing this once a week T2 should be able to remain fun without getting repetitive.
microtransactions exist precisely for people like you, who want to play higher level without the grind.
Well, its few games later and:
-300 loyalty contracts have to either have cooldown removed (so they can be completed each game) or loyalty doubled
-rep gain is meh ok, acceptable but could be better
-loot sucks, needs to be buffed by at least 100% (it’d still be lower than before)
-we don`t need mail about completed contracts
-we don`t need mail if we only get non-usable loot either
-we don`t need a report that we got mail, flashing icon is enough
-report function in-game is nice
Still, this game is pretty much dead for me, too low playerbase for realistic games which are most fun.

If the game is fun then why the heck do you allow yourself to be bothered by small details? You are a casual player why the heck bother? get yourself a premium ship or the sort and enjoy the game.
I’m casual, but Realistic mode is the one I like the most. What fun is there to play against the bots? Also, in case you didn`t notice, its the small details that make casuals like me come back to the game. Game with least amount of annoying stuff is usually the one we come back to most often. Hardcores will come back to the game whether it annoys them or not.

Ur complaining about progression while playing 1 - 2 hours a day / week? Thats the point.
Yes, but whats stopping me from pointing out annoying details? Thats the purpose of this forum after all.

This i agree, everything else imo is fine the way it is. And currently contract system is helping more to players who play less, so you shold not really be complaining about it.

naaah. the progress with contracts just sucks. really. i play several hours a day (~200 hours in total right now) and i don’t see how i could ever get blue t3-items only with contracts. i don’t even think about blue T4 or even T5-items…

The mail thing i agree, the rest well… lets see how they balance the game. ( altough atm sucks for me because i want to get my hands on t3 blue guns and i can’t … :crazy: )
No more than 1-2 hours? Mmos aren’t for you.

Maybe you dont like the actual game then?
So you’re a casual player, T2 is exactly for you. Its giving you a pretty large chunk of the games content too.
T3 is where people start to actually organize in squads w/ voicecomms and roll proper gang setups (w/ heals links etc), also T3 is where them closed-beta duders come down to farm pubbies. T4 i’ve not seen myself, but looks like squad-only territory where at least right now playing solo is pretty rough.
As a very casual player, why would you want to play there in the first place?
You’ll get frustrated over people who put more effort in and probably leave or proceed to whine on forums.
Re: Loyalty
I’m playing p casually and i’m making steady progress towards “all 6 factions to rank 8, 9 when i really want the corresponding blues” as a background long-term goal.
It wont be achieved tomorrow, but im in no rush obviously.
If i get bored halfway through i’ll just stop playing.
bullshit
contract thing is beyond xxxx, so artificially stunted
they could have shown some subtleity instead of just moronically setting long cooldowns on any contract that is worth a damn
even the crap contracts, 450 loyalty ones have a cooldown, so you always, ALWAYS have ‘empty’ fights where you don’t earn any loyalty
Realistic has never

I’ve played the game since Mid March and I’ve only played ONE game of realistic that had full 12 v 12 without bots, the other times was filled with bots and 3-5 players each side.

especially if you need modules to fullfil contracts. but my fed-frig doesn’t have any guided torpedo or plasmaweb or other crap. and switching weapons for contracts is BS, too

If you do contracts for your own race then they will match the weapons / special powers of your race. If you work for other races but don’t want to get their ships, then yes you will be at a disadvantage, but that’s your own fault really.
it’s my fault that many useful implants that i need for my frig are from other factions? i didn’t know that i’m a dev and can make such decisions :o and hey, where’s my money then?
From the “casual” perspective, before Operation Fuckup tier 1 was awesome. The weapons were straightforward, the abilities were straightforward, and there was just enough variation in ship types and modules to make it interesting. Tier 1 was, to my mind, the ideal tier for people who just wanted to drop in and shoot things for 10 minutes and then leave.
Now that they insist on mixing tiers, Tier 1 no longer exists. You have to play tier 2, it’s just a question of whether you are flying a ship that can actually do xxxx.
Split tiers need to come back. If they did, I could see myself actually wanting to play again.

another thing i can’t agree with: T1 was already bullshit when i started with Star Conflict. no useful heal-modules, unbalanced abilities (especially the guided torp) etc. when i reached T2 it was like heaven.
