Bunny's Rant

Not at all Bunny - EuC always welcomes valid Critique, and to be fair your first instinct was to defend the VU process and recognising it's difficulties.

In pursuit of progress it seems they may have made a few errors in judgement that will again annoy people and erode the player base. This is not good for anyone that remains in the game.

Please - everyone - your honest thoughts are very much appreciated.

 

Oh I get it.I do not understand that allusion. Should it be good for anyone that remains in the game?Wow you are very polite.

All of them?

 

I fully agree, my clothes will stay unrepaired

 

Why?:
said fully agree your clothes will stay unrepaired.

 

I ain't repairing my clothes either. 2 pec is not much, but it's the principle that counts.
Don't think I would've deposited anyway, but after this I am definitely sure MA won't get any money from me. Unless anything changes.

It's interesting, MA must have known people would get upset by these changes, otherwise they are plain stupid. However it's possible they underestimated the discontent. But I still have a feeling they will get away with this, seems to be too few people actually willing to completely boycott their normal activities (eg hunting, mining...) to make a difference.

 

I don't play for a very long time but from what I had heard, you used to repair clothes using tailoring residue. Maybe now that they are repaired in the Repair Terminal, it won't be that bad. Of course it is stupid to charge dressing but it is much easier to repair clothes now. I'm not the best to comment but those are just my :twocents:

Please tell me if I'm wrong.

 

The new VU has made the laptop obsolete - so we now only have one machine in the house that can play EU... so one of us looks like boycotting the whole thing for a while :(

 

I agree, MA will run off more folks with this new concept. I know I'm not going to repair my clothes. Espcially since I can't see what the hell I look like! It's a shame now I have to run out and update my pc for the sake of a game I marginally have time to play. Maybe this is what they want to do run off those who don't deposit as much and since there are those ubers and regular depositors who won't be bothered by something as trivial as a 2 ped charge for repairing clothes. Then MA probably figures who cares about the little guy that barely deposits. Just think about it there are millions of players or so it appears, and if say 50 thousand quit, big deal. This is just a thought and my mini rant and my issues with MA and just when I was getting ready to start playing again. BOO!!

 

Way to go Bunny! :)

I couldn´t agree more haha :D
I´ve also sent a protest to MA.
This is the worst VU I´ve ever seen.
I am actually thinking about leaving this crappy game.
It will be something I do with big tears in my eyes, coz I´ve
had so much fun here, but there are limits..

2pec penalty to repair clothes...
...this is supposed to reduce lag they say..
Uhmm.. That is a direct humiliation that they believe
we´re really that stupid..

As it feels right now, they are pissing in our mouths
and expect us to just sit and swallow!

I am still giving them a chance to get better, but if this madness
continues, I will definetly retire from this game.
I won´t repair my clothes, and I wont spend a penny in this
game until I see a change for the good.

I am furious, but I still have some hope left.

 

I'd rather play naked then. . . . . .

 

WooHoo!!! :D

I think Bunny was referring to the ingame avatar clothes. ;) :hehe:

 

I´m a little more patient here , dunno why and wondering about myself

I´m unhappy with this otherwise good VU and know why, this seems more logical for me :)
Here are my points :
- You have to repair clothes to full condition to have a good look, the clothes looks like you expect. This is acceptable for me.
- They changed the appearance of clothes like they think its good. This is not acceptable for me. This is an attac of your investment and in now way acceptable. In my issue they ruined the look of my prancer storm color jeans, they look total crap now (visible in the VU before after threat) and i have filed a support case about that and will see how they handle that and if they bother about my investment.
- They implemented a decay for putting things on , this can be acceptable for clothes (no i´m not a MA supported player) but never acceptable for armor pieces they have their own decay bound to their funtion.
- They implemented an additional armor piece, this is not acceptable for old armor, i cannot understand why i should have less protection from a complete armor set wich protected me well since 2 1/2 years.
- They changed again the user interface , some things are good some crap. What i cannot understand is the change to more difficult handling including the remove of the right mouse button function. This shows how unprofessional (in my opinion) MA makes such decisions
- The worsest change is the view into the future. I knowed it since long times ( Marco has promised that ) and i bet my **** that we will see decaying clothes depending how long you wear them and maybe what you do with them and you will need food for the simple surviving in the universe.

Thats all from me atm,thanks for reading.

Forgot some words about avatar changes , here it is.

- They gave you the chance to recreate your avi if you asked for it or not. I can live with it . I think the real thought behind the fact that the avi´s looks different between the creation process and the look ingame is to force you to use the before most useless surgical professions. That is not serious commercial habit but its near reallife

 

Yea, I'd play naked in game LOL!!! hence I wouldn't pay for the clothes, hee hee

 

i have had to turn my setting right down in order to play, now everything looks crap.....

i still have the use of my right mouse button???????? has everyone turned theirs off?

and what is the extra armour piece??????




finally i will also play naked if this is the new thang ;)

 

I'm pretty sure you can't switch to aim mode with your right mouse button? (Same function as the spacebar) That's what I meant. The right mouse button is still used, but now it opens up the action menu.

They have added foot guards to the armors. For now your old full sets will still provide full protection, but after VU 9.1 you will need foot guards too.

 

The extra armour piece is footguards.
They wont give any extra protection until next VU 9.1

Silly piece of armor I have to say..
It will look more complete and better while having them on,
But that is the only good part if you ask me..

Now poeple who have had a full set of some armour need
to get footguards to get the same protection they had before [after VU 9.1]

 

WHAT???? Armor too? I didn't know that!!! ARGH! The game just became very difficult!! Maybe if enough support cases are filed, they will change that as they did with the 50% condition limit in TT weapons in a Previous VU. I'll try and remain optimistic... as long as I can... :-({|=

 

News from Mindark, originally posted here

Alright, a step forward, at least they show that they can listen to their playerbase.

They added a delay of 0.5 seconds because of the reduced fee. I would totally agree with a 10 seconds delay to get rid of the fee entirely! This shows they did do it for the money...
