Dear Frontier,
I know that I am only one of around half a million players of this game but as your developers are waiting, with baited breath for what I have to say..... here goes.
I am gooing to rage against the machine in a non coherent way, taking my frustrations out with as little correct use of the English Language or sensible argument as I can possible muster. imightevengetsoangrythatiwillforgettousegrammaralltogether!
This update 1.3 thing...OMG, where do I start!
IM(absolutely no H)O! and no LOL
Can't! STRESS! how! angry! I! AM!
It is such a grind, I mean 400 billion stars, all different, thousands of civilised systems, a fluctuating commodity market, a constantly changing political scene....Yawn
Then there is the new AI! I used to be able to fly in to a RES, blow them up one after another, and then fly out. Now I actually get my ASP handed to me if I am not careful. An Elite Vulture beating me, really. I'm a MASTER. Why change it when it worked fine as it was. Fly in, blow up everything, fly out. Rinse and repeat. Simple.
Exploring...Boring. Cant think of anything more dull than the potential to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before. That will never catch on.
The game isn't exciting at all. No surprises and everything is predictable.
I hate Griefers and you must ban them all. the other day I am minding my own business trying to dock, fly, park, mine, trade and I was caught completely by surprise by a Griefer who wanted some of my cargo or he would blow me up. I didn't give it to him so he blew me up! Come on guys, you can at least include so kind of local police enforcement for when these guys do something wrong as no one would do this kind of thing in real life! The only good thing is that I love the Pirate paint job I can put on to my new ship but, come on guys, no more surprises!
Your new ships are rubbish. I hate this game but have played it enough (barely) to own an Anaconda and all you release in this update are a bunch of small ships for a few million... really? Another thing, whilst I am on ships, how come when I was playing my way up to my Anaconda there was nothing to buy between a 300k cobra and a 6million ASP? come on guys sort it out.
And now on to POWERPLAY. OM absolutely completely G!
I used to play the original wireframe, 22kb game with no problems at all. I was truly allowed to blaze my own trail. With this new one we are constantly being forced to take up the powerplay option. With the original game I could 'blaze my own trail'. Fly from one station to another trading in commodities and trying to make a profit to upgrade my ship. Every so often get attacked by pirates, where as now, in this new game..... well nuff said.
But being forced to play POWERPLAY, what's all that about. OK so I can still play all the elements of the old, pre powerplay, game but what if I want to take a side in the political world of Elite? What if I want to help out my favourite leader and benefit in the rewards that are being offered. Then I HAVE TO PLAY POWERPLAY, honestly, really guys? What if I dont want to? eh, what then. What if I do not want to not play like this?
And what is it with all this being a company business and wanting to make money? Come on guys lets drop the greedy 'it's all about the money' thing and just hire more developers to make this game more like the game I want it to be.
I know a thing or two about developing a computer game, ok so none of my projects have made it to market and I am still living with my mum at the age of 40 but really! come on guys, this Game really needs a dramatic change or I am off.
Yup thats right! I shall crash my Anaconda. Python and Lakon 9 into the side of the station, give my T-Shirts and Books to the charity shop and sell my game account on eBay where the person buying it will get an immediate ban from Frontier, post a negative rating on my eBay account, ruining years of working up to my 100% rating and then I will be back on here to give you all a piece of my mind!
Shocken-Orr OUT!
