Dear Henrik Nel
CEO, MindArk PE AB
It was the 25th September 2018 when we last heard from you. 2019 has been an interesting year with a few tweaks to the system etc, but mostly the usual Mayhem events and a few new items.
I guess I write an open letter to ask about those legacy items, things that are still on the back burner that the playerbase wants to see completed.
Such things are
1. Space - when will we see new ships and upgrades to space its self to bring it up to speed with other space themed MMOs. EU lags far behind in the abilities for players to navigate space, skills to use certain spacecraft, space mining, player controlled warp gates etc etc
2. Taming and stables - We have pets that do a few things and stables that do very little. Pets should really be given some functionality. Such as being able to spawn more than one at once, use them for advertising like in the old days, give them attack features to assist in hunting etc
Stables need a purpose. They went on sale years ago and still don't have much purpose.
3. Land plots - This is Calypso specific, but the development seems to have stopped. We build Snugs, grew basic crops. What happened to the bigger buildings? What happened to an economy where farmed fruits could be used in many blueprints?
4. Hangars - Again Calypso specific. They were returned to players, but have no function other than being pretty houses. Surely you could at least adjust the animation for Privateers to appear to enter the atmosphere like a quad, then pilot flies the privateer to their hangar and land it like a quad. This would at least allow a better planet based transport system
5. Items in loot. Crafters used to be able to craft and supply the EU population with a variety of goods. Unfortunately the drop rates for many ingredients for BPs is rare to say the least and crafters can't make anything.
6. Dead planets - Toulan, Next Island what is the plan? Rocktropia and Cyrene...what is the plan?
In your last letter to us you had indicated that for the rest of 2018 and Q1 2019 it would be a repair of certain systems, which you have been doing.
For the rest of 2019 and 2020, what can we as customers expect to see both in system content EU wide and in terms of specific planet legacy item repairs (Stables, Taming, Hangars, Land Plots etc)
Fellow players this is just an open letter, an open request to the CEO to reach out to the loyal playerbase to show us where the game is going over the next 4 quarters 2019/20.
Keep it clean and ask questions on what needs to be addressed that I may have missed.
Cheers
