    Bollox reacted to le_souriceau in How would you have fixed DU ?   
    Too many lies. Its FUBAR at this point.
     
    Only intrigue is to wait out what be final stroke of this drama -- I still waiting some "metaverse" ultra-cringe news, like now DU becomes google earth with own crypto and you can buy plot of land to build some voxel shit on it.

    Bollox reacted to le_souriceau in DU is Going Free to Play...?   
    Well, its what some people seen in one way or another for years (with more evidence or less, relying on gut feeling, experience with game industry), some were better in formulating it, then others. All this discussions, about economy, wipes, population. At core it was about is NQ to be believed or not (obviously - not).
     
    Early whistleblowers, like Blaze, had it hard, with more conformistic players attacking them.
     
    Now its pretty clear to almost everyone, but some super die-hard fanatics.

    Bollox got a reaction from Takao in What next for DU?   
    update? 
    this game shud be rebuilt from the ground up to have a chance to deliver 1/5th of its promised featureset.    DU is a mismanged mess that never shud have seen the light of day in its current form. 
    im sure from the steam sales they hoover up a few more victims to keep this charade up for a while, but give or take 3 months and most of those people will quit, and then wut??

    Bollox reacted to cerveau in Will You Stay After The Wipe?   
    When Beta started and that now broken promise of "We will not wipe again" was made. I stopped playing all other games and went full tilt into DU
    and invested myself wholly into it (for the 2 years of beta) full gung ho mode because this was it, its started, the game world is now persistant
    Currently I have tons of ships, tons of quanta, 90M TP etc blah blah.
     
    Now after the wipe  IF I come back,  all Ill do is pick a Haven tile and leave it at that.

    I wont play this game again. 

    3000k hours of your life scammed away with a false promise and you still think about playing this game. Its your choice, but loyalty like this make such behavior from companies possible. 

    But i can understand it

    .23 wasn't really a big deal after schematic prices were lowered, if that's all it takes to lose you interest in the game then don't bother. Even if .23 never happened, people would've gotten bored with everything else and left. There still lacks an incentive to stay in the long term, other than the creative building part

    Joined in the first Alpha played hundreds of hours with and even was interviewed by the mouse @le_souriceau himself for his gazette back in the early days (under a different name) and I honestly thought this game had hit the sweet spot, but then it all just went to shit after 0.23 hit and combined with a total lack of progress, nay intermittent downgrading, the game became all but pointless. Only a single member from our org of about 50 players still plays anything more than the skill queue mini game.
     
    such a shame. I still stare at all my old screenshots from the NDA Alpha period and reminisce about what could have been.

    DU failed as wider content social game a la EVE (at least partly), degraded into ultra niche thing for several hundreds of stubborn nerds, who enjoy it as sort of voxel/lua editior. This is not viable commercially.
     
    Can they turn it around? Unlikely. Time window for that if not gone, become immensly more narrow.

    I just love that all the hard work I did traveling to planets, putting resources down, building up buildings: will just now be abandoned because I don't want to pay fucking 4mil/month in taxes in a god damn space game.
     
    I literally just got my bill for the annual property tax for my house, so it just feels extra ironic. Why the hell should I or anyone else continue to play this "game"? Name one fun aspect of the game that still exists?
     
    Fuck taxes.

    No one is disrespectful to the devs, many do have a thing or two to say about NQ. The two are not the same, even when some within NQ who mostly are messengers anyway seem to take it all a tad too personal. I have no doubt the few actual gamedevs NQ employs do what they can with the material they are given. It is the decision makers who seem to not really get it.
     
     
    The game released in early access "Balpha" last year and many playing are paying a monthly sub to play the game, not to test it.
    Most of us who choose to back the game early to actually help in testing and progressing the game have long since stopped playing and even left.

    Bollox reacted to joaocordeiro in DU suffers from an identity chrisis since JC got sacked. What kind of game are they even making now? Anyone?   
    And what was the great, well defined identity this game had before JC went out? 
     
    I dont think that DU's issue is missing an identity. 
    I think DU's issue is not providing sustainable joy for most players. 
     
    A fix of most issues, would be adding NPCs, avatars and ships. 
     
    Maybe that would confuse the identity of the game even more. But it would make it sustainable from the emotional point of view.

    Bollox reacted to Fembot68 in ELEMENT STACKING NOW PROHIBITED - NQ FEEDBACK PLEASE   
    I have quit the game as have everyone else I know of.  This game has been dying since .23 and they are making another PUNISH THE PLAYERS initiative that very well might drive the last nails in the coffin!     During .23 you lost more than 40% of the player base on the first day. why did NQ not learn from this ?   O well this game had so much potential which is now squandered.   
     
    Here is my feedback for @nq    You have been and are tone deaf.   The reason so many of us quit playing the game is you kept nurfing engines and mining.    Then you add all these animations that cause even more lag without giving us a way to turn if off!    Stacking elements is the only way we had to not create huge engine walls.  if you start deleting peoples ships without warning including the ones NQ promoted you will only loose more players!   I am so glad I don't play this game anymore because NQ is going to kill it.  Here is for the VOCAL Minority in the game.  Keep it up and help NQ kill the game.  Most of us have moved on now so we don't care.

    Bollox reacted to joaocordeiro in Add game to steam for more players   
    Nope, subscription based games are not impulsive buys. 
     
    Anyone that likes space games and is willing to pay a subscription is already aware of DU's existance. 
     
    The reason this game does not have more players its because of the state of the game and bad reviews. 
     
    Adding this game to steam(at this stage) will create:
     
    Development overhead. 
    Less income from each subscription. 
    An obligation to have a return policy. 
    Several new contractual obligations. 
    A new place for bad reviews to be displayed. 
    A negative feedback score. 
     
    How will any of this help?

    Bollox reacted to joaocordeiro in LEGION has won DU   
    This is a symptom. But its not the real problem. 
    Legion is only the current "face" of the problem. 
    If they are defeated some new "face" will be here, oppressing players exactly like Legion is. 
     
    The real problem is the lack of strategy in DU. 
    There are no "strategic points" to defend. 
    Legion is free to send their entire fleet to any location in the system without suffering any consequences. 
    Even in the pvp zone, there are no consequences on retreating. 
    It's not like the retreating party is loosing an important strategic point. 
     
    The game strategy is resumed to one metric. More = win. 
     
    This is the perfect scenario for a hegemony to grow. 
     
    The game is the problem, not Legion or the players that dont want to fight Legion.

    Hilarious! All pvpers in the game except a few russians are IN LEGION, you guys destroying the game and giving eachother high fives for being 10 ship on 1, like u have skills or anything. Most legfion pilots also some of the worst pilots ever cant even intercept a target going straight.
    If u Legion had any concept of fun or selfrespect they would split into 2 groups and have fun battling eachother. Now u have zero content and make posts about how good legion is. If a another group comes to challange u then just make allies again, 
     
    Reason im saying this is I highly doubt there will come another big group into this game, also u guys played long time u know all the tricks and meta, if new group comes they need 8 months just to build up a base
