Dear MA...this game has finally become unplayable for me.

Money deposited = Income for MA.

"Cycling PED ingame" has nothing to do with it. If you let your deposited PED sit on your PED card forever - doesn't make a difference. They made their money when you made the initial deposit.

MA might turn a profit in 2014 because they have been cutting their expenses like crazy the last few years.

You disagree with me 100% and then list new content what needs to be added (taming, melee amps...), I'm confused...?!

- First of all, you don't seem to have any clue about difference of PP and MA.
- Ahhh the loot... the fact is that at the moment Mindark/Entropia isn't doing good financially. They can't lower their cut.
- And without new content less volatile loot system leads to low MU lose-lose situation where none of "serious" players are happy.
- And what comes to loot distribution (which I think would be good thing)... old dogs don't learn new tricks if they aren't forced to it.
- New textures may reduce lag and increase server stability.
- MA can't fix wave looting of items if they don't change whole system what they have used for almost 10 years.

I disagree with u 100%.

Its exactly what they need. 1 Year of no new shit, just a year of number crunching and going over the bugs and ironing them out. No new planets, no new continents, moons, features. just fix what we have, get the game stability where it should be, balance out the loot pool, distributions, and all the other thousands of things the players have complained about..

Not what MA things the players want changed.

We don't need new textures on mobs.
We don't need new mobs
we don't need new areas
we don't need areas redone
we don't need new guns/items
we don't need new whatever else

what we do need is
bugs fixed.
Loot system actually balanced (fix this wave looting of items crap)
Remove exploits from the game or officially accept them as strategy. (A comprehensive list needs to be published and maintained by MA officials)
Get taming online ffs
Get the Melee amps in place
Get the content out that PPs submitted the last 2 or 3 years that has never surfaced.
Fix the bugs that the bug fixes and above caused.

Fix text and missions.

Get support supporting and not copy pasting.

Then those of us who were very avid depositors MIGHT start to deposit or reinvest again.

I say all of the above because its what I believe is needed, you can agree or disagree but In my 3yr of damn near 12-18hr a day this is what I think.

all they want is your money, your not their family member or friend, they owe you no favours.

But i agree, and have been saying it for years, fix your fucking game before adding more that no one asked for, i couldnt give two shits that kim is proud of him team because a snable or feffoid has consumed the past 28 days of there work. Or that they have no added trees that move with the wind. Or my avatars face looks more real.

You add more stuff or change things, and break things that where perfectly ok then acknowledge you broke them, then do nothing about it, or even give a hint you will fix it, this on top of the pile of broken stuff.

But hey guess next VU atrox will have longer tail, sharper teeth and a louder roar, and all playerbase will be happy for 5 days.

And we can all tell calypso dev team how great they are.

Yes i know calypso dev team are not MA, even thou they actually are.

I'll try breaking this down to you in the simplest level possible. We will try this again.

- First of all, you don't seem to have any clue about difference of PP and MA. how did u come to this conclusion?

The following 2 are pure conjecture, not fact based whatsoever

- New textures may reduce lag and increase server stability.
- MA can't fix wave looting of items if they don't change whole system what they have used for almost 10 years.

if you hunted more you would probably have understood what I meant about loot distribution but obviously I need to clarify for you because what you said:

- Ahhh the loot... the fact is that at the moment Mindark/Entropia isn't doing good financially. They can't lower their cut. I didn't say anything about lowering or raising loot.

- And without new content less volatile loot system leads to low MU lose-lose situation where none of "serious" players are happy. I never said anything about volatility.

- And what comes to loot distribution (which I think would be good thing)... old dogs don't learn new tricks if they aren't forced to it. We don't need new tricks we need loot to be actually balanced, and when I say that I mean

We do not need 90% of the mobs to drop the same TT fodder. If MA takes the time and maps out what mobs drop what and adjust, you can make it a necessity to hunt several different types of mobs to get different things needed. When I started playing most mobs dropped 1 or 2 oil types max (except the high lv mob like prowler stalker) now days any one mobs will drop 4 or 6 different oil types. No need to change mobs for other oils to craft, each mob has got all the same crap inside just about. This does nothing to create incentive for hunters to kill mob x y or Z.

Whats that? No you say... Why did they create new components like mechano, cable adapter, etc, when the components we already had were tt food. They should have lowered the drop rate or specified certain things to drop from certain mobs. not everything lv 10 should drop tier component 1 for example

lets says only 5 mobs on caly drop tier 1 components. This forces there to be a niche of hunters that go and hunt that item and can sell at decent mu without much problem because the market is not flooded, and lets face it, myself nor Stryker or many other people wanna go camp Berry's for example. This is exactly why android gears for DClass amps had and still maintain having such a good MU. Its a great item to be camped by lower lv players or players for profit. There is no reason why all or most loot cant be done this way.

Its all about distribution and balance and drop ratio's.

if you need I can go further in depth.. Shit, for a fee ill rewrite the system myself but then I couldn't play cause I would know what's in the loot lol.

I suggested a very long time ago. MA should make the loot pool of each mob known to players. An Official, this is what is in the loot pool of this mob from young-old prov-OA and Prowler -Stalker assuming the pools are different at different levels because it is also apparent that for some mobs there is no different in pool at all.. Warrior elite and exterminators drop the same shit warrior gen 1 drops for example.

Loot needs a use. that is for certain. Too much of the same crap drops (overproduction) yet there is little or no demand. If you were going to work on a system, it would be loot distribution and maybe BPs to use more of the EXISTING loot not fucking make more loot.


Lastly my suggestion of melee amps and taming.. First, Im keeping in mind that there is a large player base waiting on both.. That's more money coming in as well as making good on promises.

Second-for Taming its not new content its redoing content that was their then removed and bringing it back in a better condition. (They keep fucking with things like the landscape and texture instead of what the players ask for)

Third, melee amps are already possible as per last vu if you look at the new amps on monria you can see the ability is already there, they just haven't done so for melee yet.

FallenAngel said:

you may be laughing but this is far from a free market, and most of these so called "capitalists" dont want a free market in the game when it affects them, they want "state" protection of their gear or land or in-game niche, hand outs and "welfare" from the "state" specifically for them, they want the "state" to change "laws" to suit their interest.
its quite funny how much state protection these so called capitalists want, when its for themselves, while accusing everyone else who wants something changed of being a socialist, as if that is a bad word.
from what i see these people dont seem to want a real free market, they want a feudal system of patronage, with lords and ladies and kings and queens, and peasants who know their place, and stay there, that are seen but not heard.

I've been playing a lot the past two days (I tend to take many breaks lately due to being busy IRL) and I got to say I didn't experience any real issues.
Even though I don't have the best internet connection at the moment, I did not experience any lag (aside from the occasional 'failed' message) and enjoyed my playing time.

I do agree that content and mechanics aren't updated enough, but I certainly don't think the game has become unplayable.

Still loving EU after over 8 years of playing and I hope for many more years to come!

The point is that it's time to implement "client friendly" features that have been overdue for years. I can always count on being outdamaged by European teammates if we have weapons of even remotely similar DPS; it's been that way for years. It's time to decouple the rate that repetitive things happen from the round trip network rate.

These measures won't resolve the issues with the servers, but it will make the customer experience more fair and less frustrating.

These are just two obvious things that should be implemented that would make a huge difference:

• when autouse tool is activated, the autouse should be serverside, not client side, and remain active during desynchronization of up to a few seconds. In the past this had the potential undesirable side effect of wasting shots, but now that untargeted shots don't use ammo, there's no more hangups. This would give everyone the true dps their weapon should have, and smooth out the little hiccups when engaged with a mob.
• When server/client synchronization is lost for more than the few seconds that autouse remains active serverside, the mob may not attack. It's only fair if the player can't attack that the mob can't attack.
