Deluged Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 This is a MMO. The space update is not. The update belongs in the genre of arcade shooters. Why do we get all the development time and money spent on something that has nothing to do with being a part of a MMO. Its like, need a break from the MMO? Jump into a cockpit - less space toy and float around shooting anything that looks red. Its really a bad update guys. Is this best you're creative minds can come up with? We are treated more and more like moron's who will buy anything you're selling. No more subbing. I've been in this game since early head-start. If I play after sub runs out in a few days, it will be on a free to play account. After the hundreds and hundreds of dollars I've given this game , and stupidly spent a large amount at the Cartel. I'm taking the "I'm a sucker" title off my back . The King is naked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icebergy Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 So they added something to the game that wasn't catered specifically to you and you are quitting because of it.

Bachannal Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Why is 12x12 space pvp not appropriate for an MMO? Because the OP thinks the world revolves around them I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangrar Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 yeah thousand of players going into combat fighting eachother in space, yeah that's totally not an mmo.... while we are at it lets call STO an arcade game and see what their players have to say about that... Seriously though, this thread, 2 thumbs down, 2/10, it would have been 1/10 but Christmas is coming so I feel generous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedibantha Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Can I haz your requisition?

JohnRoy Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Massively Mutliplayer Online Line Role Playing Game... Well, it's 12 on 12, all Player Characters, you gain experience, and level up an imaginary character that you control and stays consistent throughout the game... Where's the element that is different? Furthermore, it's a tab targeted mouse clicking combat system. How is it any different from how regular PVP works? I guess the aiming is an arcade element, but certainly not so out of bounds to make this Tekken or something, I doubt an arcade shooter player would recognize this as an arcade game. And furthermore, this isn't just an MMO. It is an MMO who's purpose is t reflect Star Wars. And if that is the goal, then this ABSOLUTELY fits in, and is, in fact, necessary, and long overdo. And why wouldn't you want an MMO that gives you something more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta_V Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 - When this game adds traditional MMO features, people complain that it's just copying other MMOs.. - When it adds features not traditional to MMOs, people complain that it's not like other MMOs. ...sometimes I really hate the internet.

Atamasama Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 So they added something to the game that wasn't catered specifically to you and you are quitting because of it. Congratulations, you won most selfish person in the history of ever. There's nothing selfish about leaving the game because you no longer want to play. That's just sensible. On the other hand, I love Galactic Starfighter. So while I disagree with them, I think they still have the right to their opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svarthrafn Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Its like, need a break from the MMO? Jump into a cockpit - less space toy and float around shooting anything that looks red. Yeah, that is pretty much exactly it. I'm happy to have the option. Now instead of logging out and loading up a different game, I play a little GSF.

Dkrewe Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 From the Wikipedia article on MMOs here is the definition of an MMO: "A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet. Many games have at least one persistent world, however others just have large numbers of players competing at once in one form or another without any lasting effect to the world at all. These games can be played on any platform, be it the personal computer, a game console such as the internet capable PSP, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PS Vita, Wii U or Wii, or mobile devices and smartphones based on such operating systems as Android, iOS and Windows Phone. MMOGs can enable players to cooperate and compete with each other on a large scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. They include a variety of gameplay types, representing many video game genres." Now the GSF addition fits this perfectly. If you are somehow emotionally wounded by the lack of PvE content in space then cry on, though others will just laugh at your tears. This is like any warzone in the makeup of the pvp field, just in more dimensions of movement. Also, aiming is a necessity of any flight-centric portion of a game. If you can't understand that then A) you are not a true gamer or B) are just looking to complain about something in which case C) pathetic. Now I am putting the burden back on YOU. Explain to me how this is not an MMO and stating it is unlike the rest of the game features does not disprove that it still fits the MMO genre perfectly well and renders your complaints invalid.

Brilo Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Its like, need a break from the MMO? Jump into a cockpit - less space toy and float around shooting anything that looks red. Have you even seen Star Wars? This isn't just an MMO, it's a Star Wars game. "Never tell me the odds". "Stay on target". "Use the force, Luke". "They came from behind". "I don't know, fly casual". Crap man, that was just off the top of my head, and guess what they all had in common. Immersive space combat is a welcome addition to any Star Wars game, it's sad that you aren't enjoying it because a lot of folks are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verain Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) This is a MMO. The space update is not. The update belongs in the genre of arcade shooters. Why do we get all the development time and money spent on something that has nothing to do with being a part of a MMO. Presumably so I'll resub. I assume there's quite a few like me. Its really a bad update guys. Is this best you're creative minds can come up with? This is the kind of thing I bought the game hoping to find- 3-space fighter jets with star wars weaponry. It's not exactly X-Wing versus Tie Fighter, but in some ways it is much better. Plus, holy F railguns!!! No more subbing. I've been in this game since early head-start. If I play after sub runs out in a few days, it will be on a free to play account. After the hundreds and hundreds of dollars I've given this game , and stupidly spent a large amount at the Cartel. I'm taking the "I'm a sucker" title off my back . Quitting because of a cool space game? I mean... what? Ok I guess! The King is naked. But is he sexy?

Spatology Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 There is very little to no "role playing" value in this content update. No story, no plot, no character development. If the question is: Does this falls into the "mmorpg" genre of updates? I would personally have to say no. If the question is: Does expanding on a typically poorly received portion of a game make sense? I would personally say no. Someone out there will like GSF, since its copypasta of a popular FTP dogfighting simulator. Will the majority? Will it create a lasting positive revenue influx?

Why are ques popping? Why are people still playing? I will tell you why, because SOME of us LIKE IT.

If the question is: Does expanding on a typically poorly received portion of a game make sense? I would personally say no. Someone out there will like GSF, since its copypasta of a popular FTP dogfighting simulator. Will the majority? Will it create a lasting positive revenue influx? 1) No roleplaying: this is a battle. If you wanna stop in the middle of a battle and talk all dramatic then you have no idea how battles work. You don't RP in WZs either or the limited amount you CAN do can also be done in GSF. 2) No story or plot, sure. Its a capture this node for use in the war. Same as current WZs. However, there is a LOT of ship development over time as you earn the points to upgrade and make it personal to your playstyle with your choice of crew. 3) Yes this does follow the MMORPG style of games because it is a SUPPLEMENT to an existing game, not a whole separate game. Do you complain this much about WZs too? This is just showing the part of the game previously pushed to the back burner which is that there is starfighter battles going on above the planets you have been questing on. 4) Poorly received part of the game? Are you joking? Every past SW starship game has been received VERY well and if you mean the whole starship thing where you flew your own starship on set paths then this is not EXPANDING on that and has really nothing to do with it. Sounds to me like you are again hurt about their not being a PvE aspect to GSF. Bioware at this point has seen fit to only share with us the space aspect that includes the actual battles and struggles for resources and control points, not a permanent explorable space world to zoom around in. You missed that by quite a few years (SWG). Does NOT mean that this is terrible unless you are trying to force everything to what you want instead of enjoying it for what it is (space PvP battles) like the rest of us.

Ridickilis Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) I'm enjoying it. I do feel it's missing the RPG element of mmorpg though. Could be something already in the works if/when they add pve content if this is a sampler. I had mentioned pilot skill trees based around the three F buttons (weapon/shield/engine), perhaps they do something based around three squadron story lines that have their own unique play style and skill tree. I also noticed in preferences under hotbar keybinds we have more than 4 slots available. I don't see anymore than 4 skills yet, so that makes me wonder if there are more coming from somewhere else down the line.

They're letting us find wacky little bugs (like the ability reset) and flaws in the game mechanics before full release. I for one am ok with that if it means I can help make GSF be even better than it already is and have a smooth(er) release in February. There may be aspects about game mechanics that I think are flawed or could be done better but I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
