A man starts digging a hole, only to find that its not what he wants, so he digs some more, and still, not satisfied, now the sink hole overshadows his original Inspiration, but continues digging, cause there is only one way to go.. * sigh*

Likely people cannot take you seriously due to the hint of rage.

But your arguments are good, except for the Shadow Lair one. I am not a fan at that, they just need to make a way to have some type of "Shadow Lair Pass" (That doesn't work for an entire party, just single players) purchasable with real money.

Their little shorty video about this game made this game sound so much better than it is, "always changing" and such. We no longer play in Cradle anymore, we play in "Mission Land".

This game is dumbed down, and you better believe it regardless of you not liking the formatting and rage the OP used.

Supporting HoH is for antisocial players that prefer hello kitty island adventures.

"But dont give gears easy for ce"

By this, he doesn't mean make the game easier, he means get rid of the Supply Depot. The supply depot just makes this game even more antisocial with less trading + player interactions.

Sadly we cannot get rid of missions.

Lol btw the title of this thread is funny. Sounds like OP has touretts or something xD.

Missions?

Lol?

One becomes vanguard and just starts FSC one after another. CE price reaches the sky, dumbs knights remain dumbs, they see much less things and people than before, so we know each other much less than before (so developers have the idea of the party finder... srsly??) and so on and so forth.

Missions are good for becoming vanguard but then they should be not playable anymore. So people would go back to the arcade, not only to buy krogmo recipes and to deposit minerals (which also has lost its sense).

That's my opinion, at least.

I think one problem with the arcade is that it isn't as profitable as grinding FSC. I tested it out a few weeks ago: on one day I spent my ME on a full T3 FSC run. I got the usual 7k-ish crowns from the FSC levels but the Stratum 5 levels only gave me around 1400 crowns (if it even was that much, I can't remember exactly atm), making the run give me a total of 8 and a half-ish crowns. Then on the next day I did a KoA run, got the 7k-ish crowns and still had 50 ME to help lower tier friends with two missions, craft a two star item to sell or do what most people do now: another run of KoA.

I'm not saying that KoA and FSC should have yet another crown/heat payout nerf, but at least do what some other people already suggested and limit the missions so they can only be done once a day and then force knights to either do different missions or go delve into the Clockworks.

Oh yea, also maybe boost stratum 5 (and maybe 1 and 3 too) a little to give some more crowns so they don't feel like a complete waste of energy when compared to the heat/money payout of strata 2, 4 and 6. (disregard this if the differences aren't so big when strata 2, 4 and 6 are normal levels and not bosses. I haven't compared the payouts of a tier run with no boss to a tier run with boss. Might do that soon though). On that note, maybe also make strata 2, 4 and 6 with no boss give some more crowns too.

Or nerf the boss level payouts again and make the community foam with rage while brandishing their pitchforks and throwing various office supplies through the air.

Also, more related to the actual thread, is anyone else having trouble updating the game? Because the updater went from "Validating" to "Downloading Data" and I've been waiting for it to finish for almost an hour :c At the moment it's at 97% and saying "85:12 remaining" and it's slowly increasing the time :c

EDIT: actually, updater changed right after I posted. It said "We were unable to download the necessary files after five attempts. You can try running the application again, but if it fails you may need ti uninstall and reinstall". I hope this is just some problem with the servers or something, because it'd be pretty lame if I had to reinstall the game :x
