Dear MA here's what grinds my gears. Since people created that thread a month ago and people has shown considerable intrest in it including Mindark employess who read the thread and shut it down claiming it's out of content. The following question kept popping into my mind. You thanked us for our criticism and sugestions however nobody adressed our issues or even ashured us that all of this will be adressed . Most other MMOS have roadmaps and plans each year however in Entropia Universe everything comes to a supprise. So here's the question are we actually start getting at least some information about what is actually going on ? Naturally im shure people have more questions for MA so everyone that has some feel free to ask them in here .

Is the Unreal Engine 5 still work in progress or the project has been frozen?
Is there's anything being worked on to resolve the issues people have with Mayhem
Is Loot 3.0 Comming or will people just continue to hemmorage ped as they do every year.
IS the crafting system getting any rebalance ?

Please try to at least start some communication with the playerbase that should be the role of your community managers !

All I want MA to do is restore player confidence. They need to take a step back, ask the big questions, and answer them.

They NEED to do that but they're not going to. Shutting down that thread was terrible idea. Took them all the way to the end of MM to address the Christmas Ring 2024 because they weren't present at the wheel. Not even going to get into the coming by the desk comment.

Everything you are seeing is that player confidence in the company is beyond the point of no return (for some).

It's not too late if they are willing to have some serious introspection. We'll see.
 
Unreal has got to be coming, MA have issued the tokens. When it does, it's likely MA will reinvent the game again, with tons of new content.
 
I and my memory... :D
Forgot to comment about roadmaps.
I like to see at least something that bring up ideas of what might come for a gameplay p.o.v,
but not new type of items if they have a big impact on the economy since that might be
misunderstood by players and they act on wrong info.

MA has made many promises over the years, that weren't ever implemented. Even after receiving payment they don't care about customers (player statues, LA additions, etc.)
 
Another infamous case of case closed. Question is Should mindark employees even have any authority or power to amend edit or close threads?

Last of what I'm aware the forum was run privately and not by MA themselves unless things have changed?
 
[Moderated]

The state of in-game stuff is now rather imbalanced, which is a bad sign for an RCE, in which balance and potential is more important than in other (MM)ORGs.
Roadmap? As long as we can safely predict that the most accurate comment about the future is 'more broken promises', than even having a published roadmap may do more harm than good. That's obviously not good either.

I think MA need to deliver on one or more of their past or current promises before roadmapping anything new (that hasn't already been mentioned by them)!

i think the game has a chance of a epic comeback but will rely on MA. and new player retention/interaction, issue is most people see the game as a casino system, if that narrative can be changed then i can see the game exploding in a good way

TheNun's Honest Opinion: Entropia and Unreal Engine 5

Some of you might find this Sunday’s blog post a bit dull and serious compared to my usual tales of Lootius, events, and lighthearted fun. But that’s just how it is - sometimes, even I have opinions I want to express on a personal level, which don’t feel right for a forum discussion. Not because...

That's in every single MMORPG though.

The truth is that there is just way way way more competition out there than their used to be, and a VAST majority of people don't give a shit about making money in a videogame.

There is, but the enviroment in a RCE attracts narcissistic people even more if we look how they are wired.

Narcissists often exhibit a strong preoccupation with materialism for several reasons:

  1. Self-Identity and Status: Narcissists tend to derive their self-worth from external validation. Material possessions can serve as symbols of status and success, helping them maintain a grandiose self-image. They may believe that having luxury items or wealth enhances their social standing.
  2. Validation and Attention: Material goods can attract attention and admiration from others, which narcissists crave. By showcasing their possessions, they seek affirmation of their superiority and desirability.
  3. Emotional Regulation: For some narcissists, materialism can be a way to cope with feelings of emptiness or insecurity. Acquiring possessions may provide temporary boosts in self-esteem or happiness, even if these feelings are fleeting.
  4. Control and Power: Material wealth can give narcissists a sense of control and power over their environment and others. This aligns with their desire to dominate and be seen as influential.
  5. Cultural Influence: In many societies, material success is equated with personal success. Narcissists may internalize these cultural values, leading to a heightened focus on accumulating wealth and possessions.
And this is just a "small" part among all shitty traits they have.
Everyone have some traits of narcissism so not as bad as it can look, but if they also have healthy self awarness they are able to
realise when doing something dumd or stupid and most importantly trying to change their behaviour, which most narcissistic
poeple never do, they turn 180 degree and blame others and so on instead of have any kind of accountability.

You might be giving too much credit to the other MMORPGs, big or small.

See every gacha, cash shop etc. ever lol. And they don't get shit for it. I think that makes them even worse than us. At least we have tangible things with value to care about. Not "But my skins and "1000 year old dragon girl" titties. Fuckin freaks
 
Given the experience we have regarding deletions, I've been suggesting for a while already to use the Wayback Machine and its plugin (link below in the signature) to preserve what you created with your energy or deem valuable for any reason. If this isn't gaining any traction, then there is no help for it. (I fully expect this post to vanish, so...)

People will literally throw hundreds, thousands of dollars at this absolute shit and not even bat an eye and have nothing to show for it. 😅😅 pokemon pocket be making hundreds of millions from packs alone and the game has 0.1% the content entropia has for flash in the pan mechanics.
The bar is set pretty low for massive success, entropia merely needs to become well known and hyped and MA can see the successes countless other games see. People have money to burn, let them!

I'm so off when it comes to those things so have no idea what they are. :D
 
Playerbase wise people are slowly starting to unify tho we have many different people we can all agree on one thing - game needs to change if it has a chance to survive !

this is just barking up the wrong tree. blaming the players is a dead-end. no players, no game.

Wrong players creates less players also. So you think its ok with piss poor behaviours and having no accoutability for
what people do?

I wrote that in first post about this: the playerbase need to change, not MAs job to do that, thats up to each
individual.
 
I would split the playerbase into 2 camps. THere are those who worry that changes may affect their investment and they can loose money .They found their comfortable corner and say everything with the game is fine so MA dosen't do any changes. And theres the die hard fans of Entropia who care enough about the game to see things going downhill and constantly is asking MA to start fixing their product. And then there's the players who counted their peds sold everything and left because they saw that continuing to play cost too much. However none of the people that playing the game are actually willing to fight for it besides making an angry post in the forum or quiting. Im guessing playerbase is affraid that if they protest they may get their accounts locked and loose their investment.
 
I have been through 3 graphic/Gui updates
30 percent of my time being pissed
30 percent of my time making it work again.
30 percent of my time being happy.

I will admit this last time I just quit playing hard and let MAs vision play out.
Iv had to eat crow before so I have tried to bite my tongue this time during phase 2.
Its just the length of time to get it right and just to break it again wears me down.

I am very happy about the graphics.
The colors are back and the game looks great.
I had PC problems last year and finally got my rig working again.

The inventory lag has almost dissapeared.
I don't have Graphics lag, I have internet latency problems and my client is crashing while flying in my quad.
From an old thread I tried turning off the sound and I can make it across the server boundries in space.
I noticed a change last BIG update when the lag moved to the GUI.
It takes up to 1 min sometimes for zones to load.
Never had that kind of lag before.

Now that it looks great I know I will have to recycle my soul and frustration to continue to play after the new Engine.

I love the game as it was meant to be.
I love the game as the work of art it is.
I will stick it out again to see the next version.

Happy Trails on Cyrene....
