Cryptic has spent the last two+ years adding stuff so folks like Thomas can fly around in PvE going wheee and have a blast. Thing is, adding that stuff turned folks like Richard in to Rock Stars and folks like Harold in to Gods.
Not everybody's a Harold...there are folks that simply won't be able to play.
Very true. There are a subset of players that look for ways of maximizing a set of abilities to the point they're so good, it's a pain to deal against them.
Heck, every time they release something new, I check it out to see if it benefits my favorite build.
Example: Those bugged UR RCS consoles. They will get fixed probably on Thursday, but until then, it's a way to go around with the equivalent of 6 science consoles or 7 of you go the part gens route and get the UR science 2x partens one.
Since I started playing this game (f2p launch) there was almost no update to PvP. Anything else just doesn't bother me that much or even sucked...
New featured episode -> don't care
New PvE ground queues -> don't care
New PvE space queues -> don't care
New Fleet Holdings -> don't care, but will have to do it to be able to compete in PvP
New Crafting -> rofl, does anyone care?
New DOFF UI -> fine you even killed doffing for me
New Boxes -> hate that lottery, but you may need the lobis and new shiny ships
New Grind.
New Grind..
New Grind...
Now, lvl 60 and new shiny T6 Ships are coming, and we all know that we (the PvP'ers) gonna need them. So there's a new dil/zen/ec/$$/time sink.
But what do we get in exchange? We're doing all of this just to be able to actually play the game in arena, but is there anything besides "beeing able to play" that we gain from any new patches?
PvP still means a lot of fun to me. Right now it's more fun to me than ever before cuz I just started to build up a new premade team for the first time of my life.
But am I willing to keep grinding and actually working just to enjoy some moments in PvP? There's nothing new to come - at least there was nothing new since season 2 or whatever...
If I had the choice between freezing the game in it's current state OR moving on with the upcoming content in hope there will be a PvP Season one day, I'd instantly freeze it just to make sure to have a product that I still enjoy and stop the grinding for good.
huh, im not the only one that feels exactly this way
also, **** pine trees. any that remotely endanger transmission lines should be ground down to their stump
