Yes, another thread against the DLC. Woo ^_^ I expect a tonne of TL;DR, I don't think I shall be saying particularly new anyway.
So, I got Steam when TF2 went F2P and got SK for the hat. Then I stayed because I love the game, and, believe it or not, the payment model. For the vast majority of you who don't know me, I am an economics student.
Of course things have changed, so that kind of ruins my enjoyment. I can't be obsessed with the payment model any more.
I should make a few things clear here. I shall not be quitting (of course, who cares?) and I am a F2P player (even less reason for anyone to care, because I am completely worthless).
I kinda see this as the beginning of the end for SK. I will say this, OOO has fantastic service. Eurydice (apologies if I spelt your name wrong), you are amazing. The GMs, well, the only times I've needed them, have responded in three minutes. No matter your stance, that is FANTASTIC service. Nick, I think you need to update your forum avatar to have less hair. Remember to take frequent breaks sir.
However, despite having awesome service, you guys have a habit of splitting the community. A house divided among itself cannot stand. I do question why you have done this. Is it that this game isn't profitable? If so, I apologise profusely for being worthless. I suppose I should do anyway. Does that mean that the game might be closing down? If its to make more profit, well, I assume Sega is a PLC. At the end of the day, all we are is a way for shareholders to make money. I guess the only effective thing to do is buy Sega out. Although, I don't have a few hundred billion yen.
I do say though, you don't listen to our suggestions. I'm not a believer in democracy though, but I am also a gunner, and I used to frequent the suggestion forums. Sure, most of them were rubbish, suggested by people who had little idea what they were talking about, but some things need amended. And though some may praise the new Antigua lines, especially the AP, I believe it's by non-gunners using them as a backup weapon, rather than specialising with them. The point is gunners are without a piercing weapon that goes up to 5* that allows them to move and shoot. The part about moving and shooting is REALLY important btw.
But yeah, I shan't be quitting. I'm in a long distance relationship, and SK is something we enjoy doing together, and we're not going to give that up because of this, even though I am extremely saddened by this turn of events.
But hey, I'm worthless ^_^
Suggested by like dozens of people? :P
Maybe they listened to the wrong people (by your lights), but they did still listen. And hey, maybe the Magnus lines will get a mobility buff at some point, or another pure piercing 5* will be introduced.
The way forward is to move forward, not to cling to old compromise solutions. (Although I do feel sorry for the people with Fiend bonuses on their APs. Ouch.)
