  1. You can't get complaints about non-newtonian physics, if the people in it have not graduated high school.
  2. I already wrote it here. It is nothing more than stroking the ego phallus. If you want to get the attention you get on twitter or similar social media about how great you've built something and then get likes, go for it. But then you don't have to be surprised that you now have Landmark in space. With the difference that Landmark still had pvp... And Dhara hits the nail on the head: it's your own fault if the game can't keep players. It was laughed at back in December 2019 that pvp has no influence, now everyone is demanding it. And NQ listened to the wrong people.
  3. I thought you meant it as a joke... but after googling it, I was taught better.
  4. An EVE clone with missing features, poor performance and with cool building possibilities in its current state. Fixed that for you.
  5. Someone's had a bit too much of the Kool-Aid. Sure, sure, the world has gone haywire since last year, but boy, whatever you take, take less or share at least. But to make a quick bridge to the original post: o7
  6. I had never had any problems with KS. Factorio, Subnautica and other games I supported came out later on Steam. But if they try to sell me apples (AvA) and after 3 years I have to learn that they want to deliver oranges (CvC) instead, on the grounds that it is cooler, then I have a problem with that. It was never communicated that change and hit the community out of sudden. And now we're standing here, because of some decisions. ?‍♂️ The only real thing they could have done was to be accommodating and offer refunds when they decided to change course. I can't get that time and energy back.
  7. It was promised that AvA would be worked on first, as CvC was a stretch goal. This was made unmistakably clear in the KS video. The reason why I am here in the first place, by the way. This is not a false expectation. What happened: NQ: I can do AvA! Me: *throws money at NQ*. NQ: *Makes CvC* Me: *Pikachu face* NQ: Sorry I didn't meet your expectations. It certainly wasn't my fault that NQ isn't capable of doing AvA. Edit: Here is the video, even with timestamp.
  8. Strictly speaking, she is a community manager, which means that she is the bridge between the brand and the playerbase. I know where you're going with the PR term, but to me that would mean that she's just doing PR and not trying to help the community or organise things that are for the community. And that would not be the case with her. But I think we agree that she certainly talks to the team and the CEO and has done a wonderful job in the past and now. Again, where is this assumption coming from that I'm saying she's not working with the team? In no word was that mentioned anywhere by me. Again, you are interpreting something I never wrote. I wrote in my linked post that there is a change that is noticeable in the last 2 weeks. But this was not the point of this discussion now. My statement was, that neither the CEO nor JC have commented. But you still have to give me your proof, since you claimed that. Good question! We should note that for the AMA. In a way, the backers were the driving force. Without the backers, you wouldn't have been able to see the potential player demographic for Dual Universe. At the end of the KS campaign, we were at about 600k euros, with another 3.5 million coming from investors. We didn't reach the stretchgoal for the bounty system, but it was guaranteed to the backers. At that time, when it was not yet 20 million euros, the players were always thanked, in every video you heard the thank you for the support, etc., etc.... I would have shown a little more gratitude now. But a tacit exchange is certainly not one of them in my eyes. When I compare DU with other Kickstarter mmorpgs, NQ brings up the rear for me in terms of how it treats its players. 2 weeks does not make you forget 4 1/2 years. And everything else, as written in the other post, only time will tell.
  9. Let's go through your statements before you start trying to defame people here again. Correct. As mentioned here in my post, I appreciate that: It is perfectly okay to disagree with someone because a view is subjective and accordingly cannot be wrong. On the other hand, it is different with objective things, because everyone has the same facts on the table. Since I have not read anywhere and there is no statement from Naerais that the CEO has done or said anything, this is speculation on your part that you are trying to put on the table here as facts. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could post a source here. My wording from this quote is not a fact, which you want to interpret here and pass off as a fact. I wrote that the CEO did not approach the player base 1 month after taking office. Neither did JC. This statement, just like the action, is true and obvious to everyone. From my life experience I know that such changes are usually communicated. At the latest when JC has been the face for so many years. See the departure of Jeff Kaplan from Blizzard Entertainment as the most recent example, who took the time to still devote himself to the players. That's where the subjective expectation came from. A demand, on the other hand, was never made in my statement. What you read and interpret in it is not what I wrote. As I said, it is perfectly okay to disagree. If you think you've won a prize with it now, I don't begrudge you the feeling. Nevertheless, I would recommend a lecture on objectivity and subjectivity.
  10. I'm not sure how you go from a statement to a joke to no arguments. I thought I'd keep you company for a bit. But enough trolling. But to return to the topic at hand: Of course, it's your own fault if you believed in the vision of a scientist who showed you that server technology worked at the time. Nevertheless, you have learned something and in retrospect you also see what kind of people they are now. You draw a conclusion from it and take something with you on your way. And that's also totally okay. I like to take the time to point out such grievances. There are no arguments for me, because in the end everyone decides for themselves what to do with the statement. Everyone should be able to muster a mind to make up their own minds from things.
  11. Do you know the joke about the implementation of the npcs in the near future? Nevermind, you won't get it.
  12. Of course, this is not necessary. It has a bitter taste when money (I'm Ruby Founder) has been invested on the basis of a person's vision and the person wordlessly steps down as ceo and you don't hear anything wrong him. Especially when a company has always preached to be transparent, this is simply a dick move towards the people.
  13. It has now been 1 month since the change in management. Neither JC nor the new CEO have managed to say a few words to the players. You know, something you would expect when NQ preaches that they are a small team and you are a backer who has been following the whole thing for a few years. But nevertheless, the real MVP is Naerais.
  14. I'm going to hold on to something positive, so that no one gets the idea of calling me grumpy: Thanks for the cool post. NQ has communicated more in the last 2 weeks than in the whole year so far. Please stay on this course. It is important that you stay on course with this communication. And for the moment, it's right on spot. We'll see how it looks for the future.
  15. Well, nothing new, it's always been said that way.
  16. Space Mom always said "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"So to NQ: Keep the communications coming. I am loving them. To sceptical players: Keep saying what you think. This is the only way to make the product better. To the fanboys and white knights, I have nothing to say.
  17. I would like to take this opportunity to say that next Friday will be exactly one month since phase 1 of 0.24 was released and player's still wait for the mission system.
  18. I agree with everything you say. It just doesn't make sense where the journey should go now. What is currently shown does not work in its state. In principle, the game would have to be tackled from scratch. The only things you can take over are assets (meshes, textures, sound...). The 20 million euros are gone. The question is to what extent the new management is willing to save the game. I am still actively following Ashes of Creation and from the original 30 million euros that the CEO invested, he talked about having to revise upwards and invest another 10 million euros. I hope that NQ will slowly but surely make a statement about the situation.
  19. I couldn't have put it better myself. The change of the ceo certainly opens up many possibilities. Of course, that also leaves a lot of speculation, but what you say also has a lot of truth to it. I am clearly convinced that we are experiencing the final nail in the coffin, that we are no longer getting the game that was advertised in the KS. DU will survive with this action. The only question is, what will change? My speculation: DU goes F2P, avatar and element skins are coming to the cosmetic shop asap.
  20. It's not my job to convince people. But for those who don't see a flamethrower, rocket launcher or C4 Explosives aka Avatar vs Avatar as "much different", then I'll set the record straight for a moment.
  21. And you can snipe people out of ships. (Here shooting to a tank fuel)
  22. It has Avatar vs Avatar and electricity...
