THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A COMPLAINT THREAD. IT IS HERE ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION AND OPINION
Most common
Normally when I see this, I just want to smash through my desk with my forehead. Keep in mind I'm not saying these aren't valid, I would like to finally see some proof of imbalance before hearing their concerns. We get it. We've already heard this more than one million times. You're obscuring the voices of the other people.
IMO these aren't as bad as balance. Yes, I know you're all strived for new content, but has it ever crossed your mind that they're working their butts of 24/7 and planning new things for the future? How about YOU try making your own MMO and keep coming up with clever ideas. If there's one thing my dad has taught me, it's "Be happy with what you have, not what you want to have." And it seems to get even worse when they make prize box promos, or heck. Even look at the comments on the new starter pack on Steam! (as in click here)
Another thing includes is that it wasn't the content they wanted (i.e Grinchlin Assault). I can understand your concerns, but if you don't like it, don't play it. Ever cross your mind? No? I didn't think so. Which relates to another fatherly saying: "Save your breath. Why not just say your last words while you're on your deathbed?"
One more synonymous example is that I used to be a comedic ad-maker back in my first community. It was fun at first, but I was running out of ideas and eventually gave up the business. And I was even quite popular as to get recognized in-game as well.
One last thing includes people outright throwing their PCs/Laptops across the room in suspense of upcoming content (see the 9/2013 development thread). I mean, what's the one thing uncle Gaben has always said to us?
Most recent/uncommon
- Waiting for stuff do die is boring? Really?
- SK will have a bad future
What would a game be without some sense of realism, huh? There's not much to say. The NEXT threads we'll be seeing is the amount of spirals in each tileset. Be not too much or not enough. X.X
This can be synonymous to all of the complaints we've been hearing, but I won't be ruling this out.
I wouldn't draw a conclusion just yet. I play games simply to kill time. If I see something wrong, I'll report it via F2. I can't really speak for this one because I've never really seen any of this (except a bug where you put up your shield literally 5 millaseconds before getting hit and you STILL take damage). Again, not ruling it out. I'm just saying it might be to early to draw conclusions like. Even with the evidence provided, that's his point of view, and I'm giving mine right here. Not forcing it, sharing it.
Age-old topics
- The old UI vs the new UI STILL!?!?!
If you remember around the second anniversery event, SK revamped the user interface. As of course, many were flustered and maybe even quit. This is probably one of the most narrow-minded things I have ever seen. I understand your anger, but don't take it so seriously.
It took me literally 10 seconds to adjust myself to this. And you know what I did next? Went on about my business reaching Vanguard without a hitch (well, except fiend levels of course. /lol). You know what you all did? Quit the game, sent death threats to OOO on the forums or support tickets, or even went to their HQ with an AK-47 and got arrested (okay, maybe that's an overstatement)... Well, maybe not all of you.
Heck, people are having fangasms just by looking at someone did here (Hey look, I can point out posts with the # thing!).
What you all don't know is that back when my Azure armor was my only 5* armor, and I kept going to FSC from the Tier 3 terminal (Yes. I was smart enough to NOT asked to be raised among FSC and have an unbalanced SK life. And that's using the word properly right there), I was actually getting quite bored similar to how I am at this very second. Dreading logging on, no motivation to get anything done. When simply BAM! New UI to the face. I was actually awestruck to see them do something this nice. Basically, if it weren't for the monster cakes and new UI, I would be less good (for lack of a better term) than I am today.
Change is life. Weather you like it or not. As long as it doesn't harm anybody as just a simple cosmetic things, it's alright. Heck, I've been living in my ghetto neighborhood for 15 YEARS Since I was born I lived there. It was my home. Quiet, bright sunny days, friendly neighbors, then we had to move to a different house closer to my dad's new workshop. Did I like it? No. Did it take me a month or 2 to adjust to sleeping to the constant pace of cars driving by so close and loudly? Yes. Do I still think about my old place? Yes. Do I complain about wanting to live there again? I would have been grounded a long time ago (TL;DR: No.)
I hate to be the one asking this, but are the forums really at their worst when something big is about to happen weather if we or I know it or not? Similar to the weight of this boredom and new UI timing (though this never happened with the battle sprites)? Come on. The gunner update is bound for this month. Shouldn't we all be getting orbs and crowns for recipes?
Keep in mind I'm aware that I could be wrong on some of these or missing a few.
