Heh, 3300 users online right now, when in the past I repeatedly saw 5k or more. I smell a pattern ....
No, don't turn this into a debate of that figure for some shred of an attempt to pull the basis for my opinion out from under me.
Fact is, I never CTD in the past. Now it's constantly and at the worst times. I thought something was wrong with my computer ... then I read this. I mean, c'mon. This is a step backwards, not forwards. Several steps backwards. LOTS of steps backwards. Right out the door ...
Can't do anything now when the thing is just sitting there, waiting to go to warp? That's a cancel-my-account-now-button right there. Instead of fixing the bug of taking forever to go to warp while I'm getting ripped apart by pirates and NOT being jammed, they INSTEAD complicate it and make it more painful.
This patch is in the negatives in my rate.
Oh and the general attitude of anti-whining is so... mid 90's newsgroups, that it's painful to watch. Please shut the F up if you have a problem with negative comments.
Jesus H, folks, persecuting people for their negative opinions as a method of writing off those opinions is pathetic. Some people are happy in this game, others are not. Just because you are happy doesn't mean you get to sing la-la-la and tell all those who aren't having fun right now to stop "whining" ...
Why? Fact is, nearly every single criticism I see on these boards has some real facts backing it up. You may not understand it that way, but that's because if you did, you'd have that negative opinion too. See how it works?
A lot of people aren't happy because the game is CHANGING ... it's changing so fast, that it's pulling the rugs right out from under them. Entire tactics obliterated, ship configurations ruined. Time and time again. I don't want to keep up with the changes. I like to sit down at a game and learn it and play it. Find my niche and get good at it. I've played this game since beta, and I LOVED it then .. I LOVED it in the beginning ... and now it's changing entirely and I'm not finding myself able to have fun anymore.
Then, to that... I get this whole "Well then you just aren't suited to online gameplay because blah blah blah changes TWICE as badly." <--- More anti-whining. Tell me, how constructive is that? It isn't. At all.
This game is heading downhill very rapidly...
Don't think the sky is falling? HAH... tell me how much ammo you've sold lately? What market is there for frigates? When was the last time you went on a mission?
Better yet, what all *have* you sold, besides everquestish rare items that cause everyone to run to the baddest pirate out there for that one special drop. The very concept that the creators of this game TRIED to make non-existant. Yet here it is ... and it's all that the game is about now.
Facts stand, negative or not.
