This game is slowly being ruined :(

[Krait_79]

Look i understand you need to attract new players and not make it so difficult that they give up in frustration but conversely you need to give experienced players something.

Bounty hunting has been dumbed down. Systems are so safe it's boring and no doubt with all the whining about losing everthing because people can't be bothered to make sure they have enough for insurance, we'll end up seeing more safety nets thrown in.

By all means help new players but please give the rest of us something to get our teeth into, because sadly with the direction this is heading my enthusiasm and interest is waivering.

Tl:dr - stop dumbing the game down for all of us.

Consoles are slowly killing PC gaming - very sad, but there is a certain inevitability about all this.

Me too I think they were putting something in our food.
I have been considering playing 'insurance free' if I die I take the free sidey.
I remember the 'game over' days of old

ummm... the game has been OUT for less than a month. If you burned yourself out during the Beta and Gamma phases, I believe that's your fault. They haven't even had a chance to get back from holiday yet... how can you already be expecting content updates and balances when the metrics/logs arent even old, nor comprehensive, enough to warrant major changes or balances.


Give them time. Give them constructive feedback.

that wasn't a release version, release was on the 16th of December and until then it was a public beta.

i know what you are saying but think of it this way, once the new players get out and about and start to get large bounties on them how much fun is it going to be for us players who are used to the more hardcore play styles to collect said bounty?

as a bonus if you kill the right cmdr you get two lots of entertainment, one watching them go KaBooooooom in game and another watching them go kaboooom on the forums complaining about their death [insert evil laugh here]

I lol'ed +1

but I do agree with OP, the game is rather easy but I am sure they will balance this as they get more players involved.

 

[Geers]

Oh goody. More "game is too easy" whining.

It doesn't make you any better than the "game is too hard" people.

Hence the dumbing down approach , I sure if ED had evey app available and known to mankind in game, someone with a PC would make a app to see the others apps, It's just what PC gamers do

I cant get my Consoles to work ,
PC gamer , push any key
Consoles players where's the "AnyKEY"

If there are both "game is too easy" and "game is too hard" complaints then maybe the difficulty level is about right....

The OP is asking for new content he is asking for FD not to dumb down mechanics and make the game so easy and consequence free it loses all meaningful gameplay

... for us players who are used to the more hardcore play styles...

Umm this statement and your PVE Group Mobius Signature doesn't fit, does it?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Emil Garrak]

There is the option to play without flight assist and rotational correction..

Not at all - we can group switch when we want to - different choices of play mode and style using the freedoms offered to us by Frontier's game design.

i'm still subject to the same game mechanics if i'm playing in the PvE group as i would be playing in open, the only difference is i can predict what another cmdr will do when we meet.

for the record i have been in open for the last 2 weeks as i'm off on my own trading well away from the groups home systems and it makes no sense for me to play in a group where i won't be seeing other players, if i was to do that i may as well be in solo. i do make the effort to travel for group events though but due to a server problem causing the group to be unable to accept new members none have been organised recently.

I'm hoping the brutality level is being saved for Ironman...looking forward to seeing what they do with that.

That's not the point. My point is the game needs to cater for all skill levels. At the moment if a few people complain then thing's get made easier leaving the rest of us who didn't have a problem being short changed.

 

[Bokugo]

I would like it if you got interdicted by stronger npc ships more often depending on cargo. And I think interdiction modules should be more effective based on class/rating. Like a top tier interdiction module should be an almost guaranteed success regardless of skill level. I know this means some bad things but this game does need to be more dangerous imo.
