But he is not blaming the other player....at all. He is blaming the design of the game. He has done Elite before and knows he is capable of contributing his share, but due to power creep and design, he was not even able to provide his share or any share at all. That is a design problem. He meets the requirements to join…
Yeah, the time-gate leaves new players feeling far behind. A way to "catch-up" would be great. Once a new expansion comes out, just remove the daily limits on the old reps and leave it there on the new ones. The new ones are still gated so that people can't get everything day 1, but those of us new to the game can just…
Yeah, just do away with the middle ground though and things are fine. Normal to learn the ropes and then Elite for more of a challenge. If the other people think people are beneath them, that's fine, form a group and use a private queue, no need to associate with the rest of us if that's how you feel.
I have felt in many games that having 2 levels of difficulty is already too much, but works well enough. 3 levels just makes things far too tedious. People will either progress through each difficulty, getting bored with the same content by the time they get to the third, or they will just pick the one that has the best…
People complain about RNG. About never being able to get that piece. I remember back in WoW Cataclysm days, this one Off-Hand that I wanted. Never ever dropped. 6 months of raiding every week, already moved beyond that tier, still no drop. Guild stops even running it anymore as there is new content out and no one really…
The problem is, none of what you really listed is Sandbox content. It's written missions. Totally different. Not sure you know what sandbox really means if you ask for sandbox things to do then ask for more scripted missions. Minecraft is a sandbox game. There are no quests or missions. It's simply a system where you can…
But they aren't really being treated as second class. You are going to get all the same stuff we get. The problem becomes the fact that they cannot just quickly and easily patch the game on console. Those patches have to go through Microsoft AND Sony before they can be implemented. So they have to pick and choose what they…
They may have seen it sooner and just chose not to say anything. If they did say something, what would it have been? "Sorry, we messed up, but we can't fix it until the next patch." If they posted that in the news or facebook or whatever, how many people would actually have seen it? 10% of the player base? What good would…
He was talking about the "even more" comment. So you obviously already think the game is too dumbed down or you would not have added even more. So he is asking for proof that the game is already dumbed down.
and it's not just that mistakes happen, it's that it's not something that they can just immediately fix like in PC either since all patches have to go through even lengthier processes to get pushed to XBOne and PS4. They will likely get it fixed in the next patch or two, but they can't just make a quick change the same way…
That's not showing discretion at all. He said the insult he wanted to say then said he probably shouldn't say it, even though he already did. Not sure how that's showing discretion. That's just being insulting but semi-politely.
I don't know that it's really dumbing it down. It sounds more like what people are suggesting is something very similar to the Gambit System in FFXII. Would be pretty neat I think, though obviously instead of calling it Gambit System it could be called "Standing Orders." Makes total sense too. If I was captain of a…
ain;t got the balls to play on console? WTF is that even supposed to mean? We don't have the balls to play on a dumbed down UI with a dumbed down control scheme? Maybe it's you who doesn't have the balls the actually build a PC and play without the dumbed down UI and control scheme.
First, did you realize this thread was over 6 months old? Second, the thread is 6-months old and the game is still here. Did not die, continues to grow. So where are those huge losses in players and money?
Things happen. They'll get it, and all the other content that only PC has right now, in to the game eventually. These things take time though. I still don't see how spending all the time to port the game over to two different consoles and letting you play it for free is TRIBBLE people over. Enjoy what you have, the rest…
You know what they say about wishing right? Wish in one hand, spit in the other, see which one fills up faster. That said, I wish they gave everyone in the game free lifetime subs and enough Zen to buy everything in the store, for free.
So taking all the time to port this great game from PC to console and doing that absolutely for free is TRIBBLE you over? The content there has not even caught up to PC yet. It's a different platform, on different servers, with different content available. It's basically a different game. It has not been out for 7 years…
Yup, this guy gets it. All those other ships are just different versions of the same person. Each of us is unique and all the others don't really exist. It would be impossible for all of us to exist at the same time in the universe.
Ok, so you skipped the tutorial, but still, you get my point. Every single player in this game is just a different representation of 1 person in the Star Trek Universe. If you follow that line of thinking, which I know is difficult for some(oh the debates I have had with my best friend on stuff like this), then no, it…
Well, except when you go there for that meeting with all the ambassadors and have to escort them out and it's a fight to get out. I sure fired my phaser a lot on DS9 then.
No, obviously the other 4 people are just random other captains, but there is no way we all gained command of a starship because of the death of one captain. It's a game, so there is weird stuff like this to allow for multi-player content. It's just weird because it's a game. I mean really, for some of the reputation…
Well, that's where it gets a little complicated, because it's a game. You do realize that not all of us actually exist right? I mean, why do we ALL need to do each and every mission. In the real world, only one person would be sent to do the mission. We basically all represent just one person in the universe. For it to…
Ouch. Though I have to say the same thing about Paris in Voyager. I know a lot of people like him, and I don't really hate him either. There is just something about him that makes me want to punch him in the face though. Can't stand him and can't really explain why either.
Sending top secret messages across space where they could be intercepted is more logical than storing them at a secure location and making you come to it? If you say so.
#PCMasterRace....hurr durr j/k In reality though, the game is still just too new on console. Remember, stuff has to come out on PC first, then get ported to console. Also, I think due to Microsoft and Sony, giveaways outside of their systems are a little bit harder to do, because they want to maintain complete control over…
Don't worry. I come from other MMOs where stuff like this can be much much much worse. I've got thick skin and am pretty used to it. In a fairly similar situation, for another game I actually took a week off work for an expansion release, played 20 hours a day to get to max level before the vast majority of people, then…
You're welcome. :) The only reason I found it was because my wife and I play together sometimes and we were on different instances so I changed instances to get to the same one as her as it just feels cooler flying across sector space side-by-side. Much to my surprise, after changing instances, I was halfway across the…
