So much wasted potential....come on guys.
It's a god damn space squid, a cosmic sarlacc, a bloody mouth with tentacles.
It's a space squid with a back story of where it came from...fluidic space...that's brilliant guys.
But why, in all that encompasrs cephalpods, do you not have tentacles that grab ships or a maw that eats them...
Just god damn it guys...were you lazy? do you not have the expertise? Is the game engine that poor to not allow torpedoes that act like tractor beams(?
I mean, would it be so hard to have a reverse tractor beam for the mouth, mixed with the Voth city ship power source conduits crushing effect?
I mean...you have everything in game to make this work...you could've been creative and have the reverse tractor beam repulsers be the tentacles animation of pulling them toward the mouth...players have to kill/sever the tentacle before the maw closes and crushes the ship
It's just a let down. Wasted potential is an understatement...
It's immobile too...wouldve been relatively easy to do a copy paste with untargetable turrets that spam reverse tractor beam repulsers...
Guess it was easiest to have the art team draw something up, render it and throw a bunch of torpedoes and beams on it...
/sigh

Because honestly the planet killers mission in Dyson is the worst and most horrible thing i did in the year ive been playing. Not only the planet killers emselves are well, poor designed and really stupid, but the mission itself is, well, really forgetable. And tedious. How tedious, god. 20 guys trying to aim anything, well, we got it since the planet killers died (the three of em before 6 minutes remaining... ) but i think i never had the time to shot anything. Mostly because of the lag, and because of so many ships in the screen. It is the typical mission where yo do nothing, and you win. Because the other guys did the job just fine with their scimitars and their power creeped ships. If you dont have a dps powerup ship, just forget about trying to kill anything, its just impossible. Too much lag. Not only that, the design of the whole mission, including the planet killers is, well, really poor , showing a really lack of skills. Seriously.The planet killers dont even move, they dont even have mobile parts, that i can see, i mean pff.
It is another fail. Period.
Still we see that the common "Planet Killer Tech" works perfectly fine and without any problems in the Mission where they destroy assimilated Kessik IV in barely 10 seconds.
In the end it is just a show off of the devs to the players saying "Look, we have this giant new space squiq invented for you guys!" ...nothing more than the Mecha-T-Rex Voth pets.
Somewhat? It's a long mission with nothing to do but shoot at stuff.
Come on - it's just stupid and lazy!!
Yea, that mission should end once the planet killers are gone - I cannot understand the Voth coming in
Its a time gate plain and simple. Thank the guys earning 1000s of marks an hour in the ground zone. Cryptic learned from there dumb... instead of nerfing the ground zone a bit... they will just time gate the space zone so the same can't be done there.
