There is absolutely no reason to miss having those books!

There are many players who have no interest in sinking noobs, and routinely let them go. But when they are forced back into an arms race to get CM's to get the books they want/need there will be a lot fewer that are inclined to do that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit the nail on the head, players will be forced into patrols and will get slaughtered.....just so they can get permits to craft 1st rates. Such an absurdly bad system that didn't work the first time. Everything in the latest patch is simply just grind content designed to keep players busy without providing any valuable content. Folks will stick around for a month or so and I bet we'll even see decently high pop numbers, but the front line system, winner take all mindset and absurdly high BR ports will eventually kill it off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think about it for a second: Noone will have those books! Therefore noone needs them to be competitive! There is absolutely no reason to miss having those books! You clearly do not get it 1. No one will have the books for a few weeks, yes, but soon some will and some won't. Their will always be haves and have nots and newer people playing catch up, whether you wipe the books or not, so why bother? 2. Some players (like Hachi above) are not prepared to grind again for no reason and we might lose them, we might lose some good player also 3. New players will get farmed for cms to replace wiped books, this does not benefit new players even if they think it does. I'm not upset about losing toys, or even having to regrind, I will do it, I might even enjoy it to a certain extent, but there is no point to it, it's just a waste of time, it achieves nothing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was this a thing already that they are two separate characters? Also, will we get to keep the Pandora EA gift? At any rate, I'm looking forward to release! #BringOnTheWipe They been seperated from your steam account since the last big wipe. Though I would suggest since they are going to be two seperate servers that they should allow for them to be merge again. Just make the xp and stuff redeemable on Peace. Than from that point on the xp you gain on one is shared on the other or something like that. That way is some one wants level up on peace they can. than go to war and do some PvP. I honestly don't plan to level up all 5 chars on WAR, just giong to pick on and do some solo PvP play as I'm pretty much burned out with this game and some many better options are coming out the end of the year and next year. 52 minutes ago, Angus MacDuff said: Yeah, our undercrewed Ratts against 6 1st rates.

James Thomson Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 1 hour ago, RedNeckMilkMan said: Do you think game balance is someone with 10 hours being able to compete against someone with thousands? I'll give you a hint: No game ever made has done this because it's not feasible and downright stupid. Do you think Port bonus Snow VS Standard Snow fight will end different way when you both have 1k hours played? I talk about this needing a balance, and the books. This is waht most new steam flood players will first struggle. The new flood of players just want to try out the game, not join clans to get ship bonuses. I want balance so standard ships can have at least some chances against bonus ships. Ofcourse play time cannot be balanced and the more advanced player will have edge, but does he need to have even more edge? No he wont. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeRoTR Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 My only frustration is developers breaking promise over and over again. I do not care about books, I can understand level start etc., but I do not accept being lied to ... ! In my view it is not even breaking few promises (which is already damn unacceptable) but it is lying... If they did not LIE, many would stop playing the game, game would be with very few players for the last months, so they could not test some of the aspects. So many people tried to grind the books for the last months cause developers promised the book knowledge after breaking their previous promise. So they grinded like idiots, cause they did not know the truth. Yeah it worked, developers were able to test few more stuff due to these idiots. And here they come with a nice news, you are not keeping any shit !!!, Clean start ! I can except clean start or anything if this information was given timely not TWO WEEKS before the release ! I do not accept these kind of behaviour, I do not trust these people anymore, this is my frustration. I did not grind, I did not do shit for last few months, because it was already aimless, and I just logged in and talked in teamspeak, did some stuff for my clan, that is it. But I know some people took it serious and grinded hard, I am sorry for them. At least there could be some nice explanation, and some f.. apology for the player base. It may be harsh for the development team but this is what I think and feel, I believe there is FREEDOM OF SPEECH existing in this forums, I am not insulting any of you but I am deeply sorry for you guys. Hope you earn some good money and keep developing this very promising game to an acceptable standart and not run away ! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan name/tags are wiped if ALL players in that clan have been inactive for over 1 month? A 1 - time reset. EDIT: Also Clan tags costing 100k real or whatever.... I can get that in 1 cargo mission - it'll take me 20 minutes. that's not a real limiter. Edited May 31, 2019 by Teutonic 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use the ransom I'd charge for it to fund our first three shipyard upgrades. As I said, all players in a clan - if they have been inactive for more than a month the clan tag/name would be wiped. I'm sure someone would ransom the VCO name too if they could. There are unfortunately players who like that stuff and relish in the fact in getting more people to dislike them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
