Years we have been asking for improvements and new content in lockdown , but do not put anything.

We want 1vs1 , 2vs2 , tourneys for guilds , personal etc..but nothing at all.
All content is boring and entered the same as always
Superbrawl was more funny ... why we cant get superbrawl back ?

When removed the Energy was more fun lockdown , now with that Energy guild how Jempire just can lose vs Twenty One or EoS , and EoS dont play more ld .

Currently the few Guilds left in lockdown play less each day and this is very boring-

.
So I do this message . We need to do something, do not play anymore gvg until you put or tell us that they will put new stuff.

We can not do this alone, we need the support of all the unions. Jempire too .

I am personally looking for me another game until things change

Greetings to all.

Guild to be involved :

Twenty One

There's hardly any good players left, and the same stuff over and over again just gets boring.
Not to mention hardly any guild play GvG anymore.

OOO should bother less with reskins and more with actual improvements.

EDIT: Dude, it's not even near christmas yet.

I would really hate to see the introduction of deathmatch modes and what have you. The currently existing point capturing mode where I can make a difference without being a damage-hog would end up a ghost town.

This doesn't just apply to

This doesn't just apply to LD. We need new content in PvE as well. End-game players have been playing the same stuff for years now. Accessories and UVs can hold our interest for a little while, but without anything new to play, it's easy to get bored with Sk. Just look at how many end-game players have been quitting recently... the Bazaar is littered with quitting sales. Once I finish my loadouts, which may I mention I'm not going to bother heating due to lack of radiant crystals, I'm likely going to go play a different game with my friends.

I'm not going to stop playing GvG completely unless I don't feel like playing. But if things don't change soon, and that means no delaying of updates all the time or wasting updates on dumb costumes or accessories, I am considering quitting the game. It's a shame... the gameplay and plotline had so much potential.

Hi Darkcub, just dropping by to give you my 2 cents:

EoS isn't a LD guild by any means but I think I can speak for the guild when I say we had more fun when energy revs weren't there.
As for your thread: yes LD needs a lot of improvement, but I don't think we need to stop playing it for that to happen.
A good game designer should listen to their player base without us having to do such things as a strike.

I love LD even now so I'll still be playing, but you have my +1 for the fact it needs some improving. Best of luck!

Since they are on a map making spree even new LD maps would make me very happy :( I am easy to please.

- Haven themed map so I can feel like killing people around the pond and have snipes to chase with Striker Jet. Maybe even blow up some snipes with bombs.

- Guild Training Hall themed LD map, so it kinda looks like a sparring arena. Plus unkillable training dummies EVERYWHERE to throw off everyone's autotarget yayayay

How about... turning Lockdown into a MOBA game? Ehhh? You like that idea?? :D
Each LD game, everyone starts at level 1. Throw in neutral clockwork creeps. Kill creeps or opponents for more gold/levels and become "fed". Proceed to snowball the game.

Yeah no to the MOBA idea. If I wanted to play something like that, I'd just go play something like that.

Even then it doesn't detract from how funny this thread is. Why didn't I think of going on strike in a video game sooner.

I've been playing this game for a long time,since the steam launch and at first i thought the game was fun. Now before you read what comes next you need to know that I did spend money in the game when I thought was ok to do so.

My interest in the game started to decline a little after shadow lairs came out. why? because the fact that you had to buy silver keys to open a box that had the smallest of chances for you to access new content was ridiculous, but that was ok because everybody on their brother of course disagreed with the idea (some people spent money big time just to get armor that in game is lets face it, is not that useful compared to other pieces of armour that are obtainable by regular crafting) and so OOO decided to change it so that you had to pay 1800 ce to access new content.

Im not getting into detail with OCH. If you were playing the game you know F2P players were upset by the fact that you HAD to buy OCH in order enjoy the new content.

I thought PvP was going to be what held me from not quitting the game and well, it did for a while, but I did not have the patience to grind for a book to get a helm which now has become a pretty important and common piece of armor in lockdown, and when apocrea came out i thought the gear that came with me was easy to obtain, silly me you had to get 4* heated weapons ready to go for crafting, then they removed CE revives, which it is the most P2W feature I've found in all my online gaming experience, and it seemed surprisingly balanced for lockdown players to not have that feature implemented. Unfortunately for players who don't have a lot of ce to spend to revive, that feature came back. lockdown has changed in such a way that now my gear is rendered pretty much useless unless I pay to get that gear or grind my snipes off to get enough CE to buy it,

OOO is a company and I understand they need money, but this game needs a lot of work in the sense of balancing the line between F2P players chance to actually use their skills rather than their wallet to achieve certain goal SPECIALLY in the PvP environment.

examples ( Tribes ascend, Blacklight retribution )

I will be playing this game when new storytelling content is released or PvP isn't P2W anymore, until then I wont be playing.

LD came to be a game based on no skills but money pretty much.. Now is not all about uvs but who can rev more witch makes no sense . instead of being an exiting game to improve skills its all about having a good wallet on your back or eitherkilll yourself doing runs..
No wonder why all the old players are quitting..

could have easily used me as an example too. I have great UVs, but I'm just an average player. I hate to think of what I'd be without UVs. A pro can waste me anytime.

Anyway I noticed it as well, I mean, it's almost sunday and yet only 7 guilds have even played GvG.

I think that's odd, and I dislike it because I love GvG.

Tier 2 Lockdown also includes a 100% chance of encountering nothing but this in addition to less viable loadouts.

Plus the apparent "strike" is over anyways, it seems!

Good-Spirit

Other guilds will always GvG here and there.
The few low key guilds I've been in would do it occasionally even when knowing we'd lose. It's just something fun you can involve 6+ people of the same guild with (counting spectators).

A strike to end GvG is kinda like the U.S. postal service when it started losing money. They just up their rates hoping that'll increase buisness... logic ftw?

I came to post in your topic because I will tell you this. I know how you feel. I'm a player that wants pvp to be more interesting. So if you do actually take time to read my forum topic, I'm one of those players that want to make GVG more fun, more enjoyable, more competitive. So please take time to share your thoughts on my topic as well.
