We SERIOUSLY need something new to do in SK, besides the occasional new gear and new boss - we need: the Core OR an OBJECTIVE!!!

Hey, I've been playing the game since practically the last week of beta. I started playing without anything when the official opening came. A few weeks ago I (finally) got my 5 star gear and leveled it.

Now, for my question, what are you supposed to do after you've beaten every boss and gotten the gear you want?
There isn't anything to do, besides kill monsters for fun, try to get some other gear, or go on runs.

I know the team behind this game is small, but still can we at least get a window of when the core will be open(ed)?
I don't see myself playing the game anymore if after 6months of the games official release (Which would be October), the core still isn't opened. I appreciate the new (and awesome) gear and the 2 new bosses we got, but still. We need a goal to work to, besides trying to get cool looking (and strong) gear.

We need an OBJECTIVE a reason for our existence in the world of Cradle...

Nick, or anyone from the team, couldn't you at least say when the core will be opened, or give us a goal or objective to work towards. Just trying to get achievements and bada** gear isn't the thing that's gonna keep players for months, as people are always looking for something new.

I knew this is just like the many other threads in this form, but please, someone from the team, give us at least a time frame of when we can expected the core. The new gear(s) is getting kinda boring and the new bosses are nice, but most people will only play Vanaduke and Jelly King anyways...

I hope to get some kind of official response.

I don't really need an objective in a game to play it.
If that game is fun I play it.

And even if they add the core, after 1-2 weeks you would be bored of it again, wouldn't you.

hit the nail on the head.... nothing OOO could ever churn out will satisfy the ANY audience for extended period of time. it's sad when people can't appreciate what they are given

even if u were given an objective what happens when you reach it? you will make a thread like this asking for more more more

edit: happy now?

Just to say

I'm not an American. I'm from Europe, Switzerland to be exact.
The reason why I'm in the english section is because this game started in English so I just stayed with my friends who all speak English...
I just made this thread because I'm yearning for something new, as that will keep me over for like 2months or so. Bosses and gear are different.

Don't generalize a certain audience if you don't know where the one your talking about is from...

I would personally like to

I would personally like to wait a while on the Core and let them keep adding in bosses. It adds to the story line of Alpha squad and what happened.

Also when they do make the Core, I hope it will be so ridiculously hard that just about everyone who complains about difficulty will be posting on the forums. I want something that is a big challenge to where I can't get past it without somebody there to save me. Firestorm Citadel x 10. Rocket Puppies, Hoardes of Undead, the works. If were going to have this almost spooky mystery of what happened to Alpha squad, it should either be something that is a extremely challenging puzzling set in a cool new world in the Core, or a place that is so hard getting to the end will be almost impossible with the amount of enemies you have to fight. T3 Rocket Puppies are a pain, so a ton of them would sure make it hard with a legion of undead protecting them.

Of course I don't want this to happen for a long time, as soon as they open the Core it is like saying here is the end game go get it, which is bad.

I think PvP is the one thing

I think PvP is the one thing that would keep people coming back for more. Especially if it includes ranks and such (leaderboard?)
And of course, it would have to be good PvP. :p

brian there is no way i could

brian there is no way i could know where you or anyone for that matter is from, simple as that. in fact i assume everyone is from the same country until proven otherwise because ive tried playing online games where servers are overseas and that causes horrendous lag for me so i refuse to play them so i assume its true vice versa.

naturally i am wrong since several players on this forum insist on playing a game that is ruined by the presence of lag and nag to the company to bring it to their country but never the less i cant help but have that assumption

as for you....clearly this game isnt for you if what you are wanting is something to keep your interest for a long period of time. OOO can do these things but not in the time frame you seem to think is right. Either learn some patience and enjoy what we got, or go inactive and wait a few months for new stuff to come out.

I still think PVP is

I still think PVP is absolutely going to blow. Adding a Leaderboard would be good, because that would be the only thing to keep me coming back for more. Otherwise it is going to be the same thing over and over. Guild's fighting with objectives as to how to win, like Capture the flag(Capture the Sprite?) would be a lot funner than regular PVP in a Arena.

OK, Ok. i get it.

Yeah, the core will be nice to have.. i dont know since when it has been planned to be open, but i will love to see whats up with it (or down, better said).
I know there is people that has been playing this game for a while and they have got to the place where "they just get tired of the same". It will be nice to have something new... also more like a story (if possible). Since the objectives that are given in this game are reward less (which i don't see why?!) well, objectives wouldn't matter. just reach it, get the achievement and blah! (though it will be nice to have a reward for everything we do, at least killing the bosses or.. something. getting the recon modules (what i do with them??? they should do something more than just being there). Well, i think im getting out of the subject.. but yeah.
It will be nice to have the core open, or a rewarded objective, also for achievements.. that case people will do more.

first of all most people here goin off topic

and 2nd i AGREE, the maps all are very similar, ther should be more FREE to enter maps and towns n such, some areas to explore where u dont have to go through the same maps over and over again, more unique creatures including NPCs, more functions, more variety, especially to the items weve collected

only true adventurers will discover every map available..when they manage to keep going without falling asleep!

a goal we already have, its just pointless..put minerals into new gates -.-' its the KEY to the core, lmao

special levels would be a nice distraction too ->[?]<- currently wayyy to short in all aspects, making it outstanding compared to other lvls WITHOUT imbalancing the money rewards would be great, but yeah..short while after such a thread would pop again :D

Don't forget

Of course more objectives and less repetition would be better, but the game is still new (somewhat. it's only like, 6 months old or something right?) and with the way the new Ironclaw Munitions factory is played - I'm sure they're working on it (traps instead of monsters and such).
Give OOO some credit guys, they do updates and add-ons quite a bit, and just because they're not mentioning anything huge, doesn't mean they're not working on anything.

I for one, would be happy to wait for OOO. They've done a fine job so far, so I'm not going to complain - and IMO if you've played all the way up to 5* equipment, neither should you - they've kept you here long enough for you to achieve that, there's obviously something you like about this game enough for you to stay with it.

Play a different game if

Play a different game if you've run out of content here...then when new releases come out come back and play the new stuff.

Why does everyone seem to be stuck on one game and only one game mindset. A game is not successful based on how completely it can consume your life. Enjoy this game, enjoy other games, enjoy life...

I personally have a lot of fun with the game. My objective is basically to get all the gear, and become wealthy without having to pay for the game. You know what I want? The one simple thing I really want to happen to this game? I want the lag to be fixed. 90% of my deaths/damage taken are due to lag.
