Some of us are just hoping for the game to get better and move more towards where we wanted it to be. But have still moved on to a large extent and are now just keeping an eye on things just in case. Someone in another thread described it as an abusive relationship where you keep asking someone out and they keep not saying 'yes' but not saying a hard 'no' either ....

CptLoRes Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I don't.. The overhanging wipe threat and NQ breaking my ships with their faulty element collision detection was the final straw for me. But before that the game had already been reduced to a do the MU round and logout again deal, so it did not take much for me to say quits.

Novean-61657 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 My game loop pretty much ended the 14th of April... But before that, I did 'projects'. And depending on the project I did the different ingame activities to achieve that. I've done a lot of manual mining, after the auto mining, a ton of auto mining (project to get 25M of Natron at outer planets for fuel stations) Building Space and planet stations as infrastructure, getting the quanta to buy the space elevators for travel between the two. Doing mission running to acquire quanta to fund those 'projects' Creating infra structure to do that mission running, mining, building, etc. effectively. Manufacturing stuff effectively, sometimes for sale, mostly for my own use. I want to design a couple of specific ships, but at least half my time the last year and a half has been spend fixing the sh!te NQ 'broke' after their patching, so designing ships really hasn't happened yet. There was some pvp... But that was just me being shot at (and sometimes blown up), darned pirates! Pvp for pvp sake is not my thing, pvp for defense (currently not doable) or getting access to resources I would not otherwise have access to (like plasma) would be a future possibility... Maybe...

Gillimus Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thanks to everyone for your replies. It's comforting to know that i'm not the only one looking at the current state of the game and starting to ask myself, "why am i doing this?" Love the concept underlying the game - build anything! explore! shoot people! - and flying a ship in DU is one of my favorite video game things ever. I hope they figure something out.

CptLoRes Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 And that has been NQ's problem this entire time. Since after pre-alpha they have pretty much been at a stand when it comes to actual game progression, even with 100+ employees.

Zarcata Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 current game - log in - run around in my base to run to the MiningUnits - calibrate 1-3 MiningUnits - ask myself, what am I doing this for, if they wipe everything? - log out and turn on Netflix or another game. one day later: - log in - see if my factory is still running and pack various elements like tanks, engines, small stuff into the ship to fly with it to the market. Somehow you have to earn quanta... think during the landing approach,..what am I actually doing here? currently I'm on market 6 and hope I log in before the lock period expires...but what for, if there should be a wipe anyway?

Great game so far: Looks good after all, looks very close to DualUniverse. What I miss are other planets, space and the possibility to play the game infinitely long and with thousands of players together or with each other. I don't like solo games, so different difficulty levels don't appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have with me is that if I were to "pause" DualUniverse now to play another game, that if I were to enjoy it, I wouldn't come back. No matter what game I stopped playing, I did not return for a second chance. Rokkur and Samedi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
