I'm not leaving the game entirely but I'm only using ME to craft and then hopping off. I will continue to do so until the developers fix this game. Everyone who had a decent brain and isn't some fanboi/parrot can figure out the REAL reasons behind this patch.
I made my decision
"Everyone who had a decent brain and isn't some fanboi/parrot can figure out the REAL reasons behind this patch."
I'm not sure what the real reason is. I'm disappointed in the update, but I don't think it was the developers deliberately trying to rip us off. Though if the really are comic book villains and that was the plan all along, I wouldn't be surprised either. The inability to sit down and chat with them about it really makes it difficult to say definitively in one way or another. Also, no offense to Eurydice, in a situation like this a PR person just doesn't cut it. I would like to see a little chat thing were one of the devs took an thirty minutes to and hour to actively answer questions from players. That would make this a lot easier.
This rambling has been brought to you by a psychology major so expect it to have little value except for the attempt to make you rethink your opinion.
Psychology eh? I hear that's always a hard major..
Anyways, I'm not saying the developers are evil masterminds or anything like that but this patch is honestly not good for the game at all in any way, shape, or form, yet there are people who seem to think otherwise and can't see the truth.
@Providence, I'm not leaving just EXTREMELY limiting the amount of time I play this game. I'm still not happy and I'm not about to get over it anytime soon.
The patch is designed to limit you further into grinding and spending money for what little content there is, it's just not right.
No PR is NOT going to help and I'm not going to listen to it, I'm not stupid.
A developer interview would be fantastic but they would have to questions DIRECTLY from the players TO the developers.
Kinda what I am doing. Also remember PSU pc? Perhaps Sega told OOO they should hold back content untill it's more lucrative to close down the service. lol
Phantasy Star Universe.
I started playing a year or so before the service closed, played me a newman force with some psycho wands and lv41 techs (and a cast for gun and meele routes; also protranser was sick fun) in anticipation of the supplemental update (which was rather new on the japanese servers at that time), then I left waiting for that, then the service was closed when I checked back!
Just shows sega is rather aloof when it comes to online games.
Also tried the xbox360 version for a while but it's just inferior to the pc experience in many ways to me.
@TiVVV34
You should check out the sc's of PSU2.
It's awzomeeehhhhh <333
You are really overreacting. And I'm not really sure you had to post this on the forums either.
Hey how the hell did you get outside of me!
Good. We never liked you.
you mean PSO2?
yeah I'm waiting warmly for that. Thanks for the reminder.
@GodofSkype1 :
"I'm not stupid" : I've got some doubts there...
"I'm not leaving" : That's a pity !
"Everyone who had a decent brain can figure out the REAL reasons behind this patch" : It seems you are not one of thoses...
"I don't think it was the developers deliberately trying to rip us off" : How to develop and maintain a game without money ?
"I'm only using ME to craft" : lol, have fun !
"A developer interview would be fantastic" : Do you really know what is a developer ?
"the devs took an thirty minutes to actively answer questions from players" : You really don't know what is a developer...
"patch is designed to limit you further into grinding and spending money" : is that from your "decent brain" ?
"this patch is honestly not good for the game" : they did, so it is, that's all.
OOO knows their game and players community better than you all, they don't need any advice from you, child.
They know what is good or not, better than you all. They get more experience than you all in game production.
Your post is like your nickname : ridiculous.
Child, just leave Spiral Knights !
Bye, and have fun !
Ah if only trolls really were this easy to get rid of. On a related note I'm glad to see the price of CE slowly declining in the energy market. Seems like the patch is working well!
Yeah, incredible how much it takes to get rid of some people =/
To quote Shoebox (from a different thread): TIME TO QUIT AND COME BACK IN THREE HOURS.
This is the wrong place to complain about community feedback. If you don't like it don't browse a community forum. Lol.
now to the fun part:
-""I'm not stupid" : I've got some doubts there..."
please become a decent person
-""I'm not leaving" : That's a pity !"
see above
-""Everyone who had a decent brain can figure out the REAL reasons behind this patch" : It seems you are not one of thoses..."
at least he's trying to make a point with his colorful language, and he's not directing it at particular individuals.
-""A developer interview would be fantastic" : Do you really know what is a developer ?"
Cryptic
-""the devs took an thirty minutes to actively answer questions from players" :You really don't know what is a developer..."
See above
-""patch is designed to limit you further into grinding and spending money" : is that from your "decent brain" ?"
not sure why you commented that. It's part of what the patch was intended to do. Nick said so. Become a decent person please.
-""this patch is honestly not good for the game" : they did, so it is, that's all."
assuming a developer is a market researcher and always in touch with the community needs, as well as the ingame economy, is factually ignorant.
-"Your post is like your nickname : ridiculous."
Your post is like your nickname: Mildly entertaining.
They needed more money, so what? They sure earn it if you ask me :)
Also bye
@GodofSkype-
Hey Man,
I may not understand your frustration too much with the game but i guess to some extent. Everyone has there specifics on their way of playing.
Im sorry its been a bumer for you man, really. i personally like the game, and im exciting for new stuff even if it does seem like it may have alot more cons than Pros, but i always say this. theres still room for improvement on this game and we gotta try to look at the bigger picture, what ever that is.
im sure these Devps will come through. but in all. there will always be players who have their likes and dislikes and that can never stop.
but yeah man, do what you gotta do man to make you happy. just know that things can and will get better. if you ever need anything to make your expeience in the game a lil better (that is when ever you get on) try finding me in game man. God Bless you Dude!
In-game: Zeist
I could of sworn I said I WASN'T leaving, but I just won't be playing that much. Oh by the way whoever it was that was snarky towards me..I got over 7000CE I don't HAVE to use ME I just am because I've lost the will to play the damn game because this patch RUINED it.
Thank you Tiv for sticking up for me. I swear idiots these days, need to lock them up and throw away the key...
Ahem, anyways I stated that I would still be around on the forums and sometimes in the game, you aren't going to get rid of me so easily. Basically I am here, but not here.
@Geist This latest patch really killed it for me and it turned it into a grind fest, the biggest appeal this game has for me was RTC and no grinding, and then they dropped the ball and released this patch, the increased in Alch costs was the do in for me.
The rest of you nay-sayers can keep on playing but I know when good thing has gone sour. The total player base is like at an all time low. Maybe they will fix it in the future but as of right now, it's broke.
OH and apparently Delacore quit or something, I haven't seen him around the forums at all. There goes your 300 a month OOO.
Not a troll Iamah. I am a valued and respected member of the community who will rip your heart out when you least expect it or rage about something. I have offered many a helpful item and advice to complete noobs and forum members alike. I have been here since official launch week of the game and I'm actually quite popular.
Oh btw You are a what? trollface.jpg
I am a valued and respected member of the community
Clearly.
I wasn't talking to you tivvv but to the OP
oh, you're a troll all right... an unconscious immature one, but still...
Nope
@Shoebox, what's up bud, welcome to our side. I seen your fantastic realization post, if only some of the OTHERS would get on board.
Did I sign up to a gang or something?
Do I have to wear colours and kill people now?
"Everyone who had a decent brain and isn't some fanboi/parrot can figure out the REAL reasons behind this patch."
Loose Change: Spiral Knights edition. It was all an in-house conspiracy to destroy the player base, so that they could go to war with foreign nations to gain control over energy supplies.
@Shoebox nope, just keep not playing or something just don't buy CE. That's pretty much what we are doing. I'm not even playing in fact Terraria has gotten my attention. I love that game!
@Cactus LOL
*googles terraria*
LMFAO HAHAHAHA. Knock yourself out mate
Terraria is actually a pretty darn awesome game.
Yeah? Doesn't really look quite apealing(and I do love 2d gameplay in general) to me. How is it compared to Spiral?
*googles terraria*
LMFAO HAHAHAHA. Knock yourself out mate
I can't trust you were smart enough to get the right thing so here www.terraria.org. That's what we are all playing.
If you did get the right thing, well you did far better then I thought you could, and if you are laughing at it, well you just lost a lot of respect from me and the others. This is a bombing indie game with TONS of potential, and it just recently got an update, and *gasp* it didn't break the game or piss off its fanbase.
Yeah? Doesn't really look quite apealing(and I do love 2d gameplay in general) to me. How is it compared to Spiral?
*facepalm*
It's NOTHING like Spiral Knights. It's its own genres of games together. You should read up on it before you are so fast to shut your mind to it.
Reminds me of castlevania abit (with of course it's own added features). I played a lot of mmo's personally before, even the major ones like WOW and guild wars. But as of now, no other game has kept me interested as long as spiral knights.
I don't know if this terraria game would have the same impact as spiral knights but i might try it out. :)
Well at least you stopped closing your mind to it. It's pretty addicting, I'm not going to lie.
It's just Minecraft turned flash game.
I'm not gonna try it but definitely looks interesting. and I'm living on ME even though I have more than enough ce.
Skype, I suggest you buy some Max repel from the pokemart. They are charging in so quickly on you! Haha
Aah minecraft... will they ever hire a character animator?
I don't understand why this is so hard for people to understand.
If you don't like the product, don't pay for it.
There's really nothing more to it than that.
I'm a little upset I've read as much of this as I have.
but um...oh.
"Did I sign up to a gang or something? Do I have to wear colours and kill people now?"
who cares? i dont have the credit card (i do have cash) to pay for CE, sure im let down when i just got 2* before the patch, but the game was too easy, and 4* can be good enough for JK (i would think since its 17)
whats up with all the hate? he just said that he's gonna be online a little less. hell i think most ppl are online less. This patch was just a slap to the face and its demotivated me and many friends.
"I don't understand why this is so hard for people to understand.
If you don't like the product, don't pay for it.
There's really nothing more to it than that."
A lot of the anger comes from the fact that people have bought the product and now think it's been messed up. I've spent $190 on this game so far so I'm not just going to up and leave that investment in the hopes that something productive happens. Which seems to be the safe bet, because the devs have to have something nice coming along to sedate everyone. Even if you don't hate the changes they were a bombshell right out of left field (to mix sayings).
"whats up with all the hate?"
This is the ironic part. One of the earlier posters was going on about how GodofSkype(I won't add the number because I don't like seeing them in net handles) needs to do some growing up, in the most childish manner I've ever seen(let it be known that I've been working with children a lot this year due to schooling). The hate needs to be toned down on both sides, but it really seems to be overflowing from the pro-patch people. Which is in complete reverse of what it was post-patch(not to say it isn't normal).
I'm not sure if they've fixed the ridiculous increase of energy needed to craft each item, but if they have I might stay active for awhile. If they haven't...well Skype, I think I'm going to do the same thing you are. It just doesn't seem worthwhile to play because the high-star binding update really killed my business. What good is a craftworks if you can't craft anything anyone wants? And the mentioned "un-binding shop" seems like a huge cash grab. It makes me almost reluctant that I spent any money on the game to begin with. Oh well, I guess in time we'll see where SK goes.
Everyone here saying that they're leaveing are staying hahah. The game is just too good admit it guys. ITS JUST TOO GOOD. I mean even as a single player game, the way the game moves, the way the player hits, the equipments. They could use the mechanics for a storybased single player (ala zelda) game and it'd be a great game for the top view RPG genre. Zelda could actually learn a thing or two from the combat in this game.
The mechanics work, the controls are nice, everything about this game is well deisnged. Even if you stop, mist energy will pull you in end make you love the game once more bwhabwahbaw. This game is evil, but awesome.
'kay, bye.
