Yes people getting into games not knowing what they are getting into, and then "demanding" or "hoping" for the game to change to suit their needs and wants, is and probably always will be a problem.
You as a backer clearly know what you are getting into. Me.. i started a week into beta, and am a bit more fussy about where NQ actually are going with the game, but i generaly try to figure out beforehand if a game is for me or not and only opt in if im fairly certain its gonna be something i enjoy, so i feel like i know what im getting into too
My vision is pretty much what you describe, players getting together and creating content, citys ships and fun, sandbox (reminds me of SWG before all the sony imitating wow crap)
The biggest fear i have for DU, and that is the reason i entertain the ideas of wipe no wipe, compensations if wipe and compensation to new players if no wipe, is
What will happen if the game des not grow as much as NQ wants?
F2P?
Ingame store?
F2P with ingame store?
F2P with ingame store and subscription?
I want the game to stay sub based, NO f2p, NO ingame store
None of the above for me atleast, the game being a subscription based game is one of the key factors for me.
I saw this game from the start as a niche game with a limited but strong player base, and main reason for me not joining alpha was above concerns and NQ talking server tech for huge player numbers
Current state of game, the upvote stuff, lack of clear roadmap, no comms on forum, bugs, exploits going unpunished, random TP for players too lazy to play the game, reps for crashed ships due to lack of skill ect thats going on in discord... all of this is a concern to me in regards of player numbers vs what NQ deems profitable, and how they will react to that
and that is the main reason for me thinking wipe on launch (with or without compensation) might be the best way to greet and keep new players at that time... sadly
