Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kuraki: Constantly tweaking item effectiveness is a poor way of getting me to spend real money on one. Yep. It’s one thing to tweak the main game, it’s a little more shitty to tweak content on passes that you buy monthly. I may buy a pass for a particular weapons strengths and for them to turn around and nerf it is extra shitty. |

I have all the warbonds and a set of premium armor (the pumpkin engineering). Haven't spent any money beyond the initial.... just pick up the SCs visiting the POIs around maps, and the SCs you get from warbonds is enough.

I’m also don’t care for people who don’t even own the game stirring the pot in this thread. Something else I don’t like are pedantic asshats. So there’s that. What I am fine with is the game literally being free to play aside from the initial purchase. You don’t have to buy anything. You just play. Hell, don’t log in for a week or two and have some credits sitting on your account from everyone else completing major orders. I really don’t give a shit about nerfs and buffs. Do they suck? Sometimes . However, there’s plenty to choose from. If you paid money for a nerfed gun, that’s on you. |

At the same time paying for the game never equals free to play, because money spent, regardless of IOT never, ever, equals “free”. Micromanaging of gameplay is the ultimate indicator of a narcissistic management team. It shows it’s not about the players playing the game, but instead about how those micromanaging the game think it’s about them controlling how they think you should be able to be able to play the game. & if that game play, however creative, unorthodox, or entirely following game meta, which was entirely based upon the painstakingly made & thoroughly tested & vetted coding, is entirely unacceptable to those trying to micromanage said gameplay. Yet at the same time they refuse to admit their failings, while simultaneously throwing out constant changes because, ultimately, in the end of every step, their actions show, undisputedly, that they actually have no idea what they are doing. They simply act reactively. It’s the antithesis of good programming management. I’m of the mind that if you’ve made a thoughtfully made game, considering a multitude of aspects & variables, accepting the various applications & utilizations of the invariable system you diligently set forth, calls into question not only your competence of development, but also that of review & further implementation. It’s a sign of not only initial, but continued, failure. |

Paying for things and keeping them is one thing. Attaining the new battle pass or whatever you want to call it for free is another. Yes, there are micro transactions. What game doesn’t have it? Shit, I played world of tanks for about a decade and they charge 40-60 per premium tank which is ludicrous. These genuinely are micro transactions, ones you don’t have to partake in. You can choose to do so if you like but it’s not 100% necessary to play or attain the new stuff. If they do start selling skins, fine. I don’t really care; that’s their prerogative. Selling weapons and nerfing them? I’d be very annoyed but honestly after playing other games I probably wont be partaking in paying for more pixels. The ceo has already addressed the nerfing and that he too feels it’s an issue and that he plans to address it. Yes, I give ArrowHead a lot of leeway but I will call them on something like the PSN linking. They screwed up and I feel like Sony had a hand in it as well. Seems a lot of mistakes were made by everyone and it all came to a head. I do want to see some of the serious bugs fixed before they give us new content. The crashes and screwed up reticles are something that shouldn’t even been an issue but here we are. honestly couldn’t be a dev. The amount of bitching and whining from every corner of the player base would drive me mad. Reminds me of Faruza Balk in Willy Wonka. But I want it noooowwwwwww. These guys are a very small company working for a global cabal, Sony. I honestly don’t think they were ready for release and are trying to play catch up along with giving the mob what they want. I’m trying to be patient for once in my life and I want them to succeed because it really IS a fun game. |

Yeah, the idea is the same but it’s not a top down shooter. All new code had to be written for this. Still going to give them a little more time before I break out the pitchforks How long did Bethesda work on Starfield with how many people and how big a budget…..and it still crashed like a motherfucker on release for quite a while.

The mechanics of the game have changed little from HD1 to HD2 Same weapons and stratagems against the same enemies. If HD1 had good balance, then why wasn't that carried over to HD2?
HD2 players: One of the tires on my car is flat. AH: We noticed the issue and to fix it, have flattened the other three tires. |

I’m saying it’s an industry wide business model so I’m not surprised. When people stop buying they’ll stop doing it. There’s obviously a market for it. If people are willing to say shut up and take my money the companies will gladly do so. I guess the reason I don’t have as much an issue with their micro transactions is that I don’t view it as predatory. There’s no FOMO. The war bonds are attainable (slowly) but still there to get just by playing. Hopefully AH can right their ship and soon. |

There is talk of doing live test servers. That might be the ticket we need. Real feedback from real players |

I came in late, & quite honestly it’s one of the finest games I’ve ever played for what it costs. It’s so immersive, completely open world, & do what you want based that very few games could ever dream of coming close to it. I still fire up saves every now & then just to skip around to new systems, do some pirating, maybe a little mining, hatch a new egg, buy some new ships that pop up, play around with freighter layout, or whatever. |

I think the most amazing fact about NMS is that even now, almost 8 years after release, there's been substantial updates for it. Massive overhauls of crafting and materials, combat, new ships, new multi-tools, a new race, and more. And all completely free from Hello Games. The story of it is a very good lesson for any dev of any style. |

I’ll say that I found out what “Jump the Shark” was all about when I jumped into a random black hole & ended up 1/2 across the galaxy. Took me almost a month to get back to close to origin systems. How crazy is that. Then figure in the other galaxies & it becomes an even bigger & even more overwhelming game. |

Having played more, I deem the Pummeler as awesome. Great for controlling mobs and interrupting abilities.... chews through ammo is the only downside and takes a bit longer to kill some things.

Yeah I'm all in on the Pummeler + Ballistic Shield against bots. 3 shield devastators? No problem, just tank the hits, keep'em stunned and put a couple in their face. Berserkers? Fuck off with your chainsaw arms cause the whole lot of ya are stun locked. Love it. The damage, ROF, mag capacity, # of mags, 1 handed operation and low recoil, together with it's AOE stagger effect make it quite possibly the best "balanced" primary in the game when it comes to invisible stats vs visible ones. If the Tenderizer had a similar stagger effect with either just slightly higher DMG, ROF, mag cap, or # of mags, with it's medium armor pen being the tradeoff for requiring 2 hands, it would also be awesome. Instead they over valued some invisible stat and it's nothing but a slightly worse Liberator. |

@Kuraki you’ll be proud of me, I’ve not been using the grenade launcher lately. I’ve been having fun using the expendable rockets.

The personal order last night was aggravating. I had guys dropping the mortar as we were being overrun by bugs and then being finished off by their own sentry. It seems like I spent half my time standing outside of range tossing reinforce left and right. Next objective, they do it again.

Terrible personal orders like last nights I always clear on a low level kill mission, and make it friends only. 15 min later, done and back to the helldives.

Looks like the CEO appointed another ceo so he himself can look over the development department. Maybe they’ll be able to add some new map styles and quit nerfing all the weapons and make it fun again.
I haven’t played in close to a month. At least before the new battle pass, but hopefully he gets things straightened out and I’ll start playing again. |

This game was working good for about 40 hours of playtime and then I go to hop on with my friend a couple weekends ago and it won't boot up. I try a couple more times and popped up with a memory issue error. I looked up some fixes online, none of them worked. It isn't a hardware issue because other games run fine on my pc. The game just broke. I went as far as uninstalling steam and redownloading everything and that didn't work either. I have an email in to support to see if it is a common occurrence still. We shall see if anything gets resolved. For now it is Ready or Not and Ground Breach.

The last update finally cleared up the lock ups I was getting upon logging out, but now I get random disconnects during missions.

I'm thinking 2-3 weeks. They'll probably do some story stuff first while we eliminate the bugs or bots further, and slip in some hints that something is coming before the big reveal. |

Breaker incendiary
Nade pistol Impact nades Orbital rail 500kg Guard dog (laser) Gatling sentry Battlefield pickup Stalwart Was a level 7 egg hunt on Meridia before it was ghosted. The squad wanted supers and were scouring the map so I just stood and fought every breach for fun Also got relatively lucky with the charger/titan spawn rates. I only had to deal with 2-3 chargers.Rover probably accounted for half of those kills and only killed me once

My son takes the guard dog and we pair up. It works pretty well. |
