Just a couple reasons
- “Team” based play.
MY performance stats & progression rate rest in the hands of other players.
That’s it.
I shouldn’t really have to say more, but I will.
I recently ended up soloing Fire Support. All 3 “teammates” were taken out by the first set of Turtles. I got myself to the Cruiser, destroyed all 4 engines, had it down to 3%, 2500+ meters out, in a Phobos, before I was taken out by a missile. I had almost 90 kills. I was lucky and LOST only 4000 credits to ship repair and ammo refills, and only got around 1300 synergy. It’s pretty infuriating to waste 15 minutes on no rewards. If you can name a single game that leaves your progression in the hands of others, I’d like to hear it.
- “Rewards” system.
What rewards?
When your team fails, you end up losing credits. Name another game that does that?
- Destroyers.
OP. I’m not the first, won’t be the last.
- Lottery boxes.
The chances of getting whatever it is you’re buying it for are 0%. Forums confirm this.
- Important materials (Neo/Ber/etc.).
Nonexistent. Forums confirm this.
- OS at rank 6.
Instead of letting players get a feel for the game, it’s mechanics, and gameplay, you dump them into it and hope they can learn it in a short amount of time.
Not sure how anyone thinks that’s a good system.
- Enemies in OS are OP until rank 10+.
Even if you did still have OS for low ranks, they would never get a kill, thus, never progress.
- Forced to play ALL ships.
Before you say you don’t have to, walk away from the computer, find a wall, and put your face through it.
I’d love to see any of you go through a single branch, AND participate and win in all types of matches, including SpecOps, Conquest, and all PvE’s. You can’t.
- Ability to buy ranks.
You start by buying a license. Then a T1 prem. ship. Then you buy a bunch of GS. You use the GS to buy OP weapons, ammo, and modules. Now you gain… 500% more synergy? You play with the prem. ship, win a bunch of synergy. Turn the synergy into free synergy. Max out all your other ships. Congrats. You paid for your ranks. You have no skill.
It’s pretty easy to see why the game has only a few hardcore players that didn’t buy their ranks. The gameplay is fun and exciting.
But on the other hand, the stolen chance of progression and ignorance to playerbase is off putting.
there are games far worse that this. And still people spend hundreds of dolars in them. But if you have not tried any of them, you simply have no idea. If you really think SC is this bad, try out APB Reloaded. You ll see what I m talking about.
