The spark, the feeling, the excitement of the game.
I don't enjoy playing anymore, feels like a neverending grind that has no purpose. Skill don't matter, eco doesn't matter. What's the point? No stories, nothing new...
If someone has advise on how to get my spark back I am open to suggestions. I can't even push myself to hunt during migration.
I don't mind throwing away money, it's not the issue. I think I don't want to give it to mindark anymore tho, not only because of the gameplay but they can't keep promises. I know this has always been the case, but I guess it adds up.
There must be other people who've been in this situation.
What did you do to get back on track? I'm not ready to give up yet on Entropia after almost 14 years.
Bee
(i did read the whole thread, i feel any of your perception)
I DO FEEL YOU BEE.
This game had a weird attraction to me, Mixed feeling of having a chance to make some money while fucking having fun in any situation and meanwhile my avatar getting stronger in all situation, i was hooked.. gambling and building!
Everything did seems to have a reason, skills toward higher chances of reaching fame, toward surviving your opponent/ beat him in pvp, stronger avatar the better.
Meanwhile milking my wallet, fair enough i could have been in other place spending.
I had 1 sellout after SGA, huge hunting loss to a youth, hard to take, RL needs combo, avatar been stripped, took few years off. (avatar was 200hp commando unlocked, a goal met, down to 130hp).
Today i sit on 280hp, i do feel i dont need to skill anymore, i dont need more hp, i can use anything that handle anything, matter of fact i hardly do log in during my free time, nothing is worth smashing (im online during my work shift where i have time available out of valuable free time, it is what it has become, game waste of time), i still carry some concern about the game and how it can evolve, it became social experience, i wish this dude or that guy or this girl is on, else it's boring..
250hp was a goal, its on my rearview, hunting for big value loot is a myth and exausted i got.
Yes in my free time, i do not even attempt to go to log, 1 or 2hours that i may have playing, has became not enough, you do not reach anything but an ammo drought, no thrill, nothing special, greens line coming in.
(i don't want this post to turn into personal experience sharing typical talk about self).
Alfonso might say i'm a pussy right now, i'll keep it clean for this forum standard..
Anyway you pretty well summed it all up, no deep story, no living world, twin peaks should have been a fucking crater already after it was hit by a huge beem of light, during last alien invasion, that involved new species of aliens and technologies.
Flight to calypso using regular spaceship became way harder with the alien concentration around the planet.
Space travel are highly unsecured ever since, relaying on larger ship is a must.
Idk, add real ongoing event, where success reach to something and defeat put you in a damn situation you must solve.
I agree with killahbee right now, i want to say that eco-system is fucked up, new comers have only 3 way in, sweating , depositing or find a sugardaddy, noob rig was even taken off...
Revive this up, make it hp-limit/ skill limit area. allow the seed to grow in a self secured environment where they can feel they actually win something.
There is plenty field you can explore when you finally stop considering this place as a CLD getting your monthly fee.
This game lack the instant thrill of what you promoted it to have!
I sadly have no idea to provide you to enlight your spark again, it is a sand box, play in the sand like us kiddo, i built a nice castle by the rig.
I constantly tried to give ideas to help the game out, but when main activity leads you no where, this is where you start to find ways out of it. Free to Play.
I'm into my 12th years ingame. I been soft in this post, a pussy.
(SIDENOTE: (12years) People hardly keep relationship this long, or keep a job this long, realise what you have in your hands, a never seen before idea).
