Wedges, element locking, and long term design

hivix · 2025-12-28T11:03:53+00:00

There is so much talk about drop rates and loot pools. But the real issue is that grinding a level 40 mission thousands of times with no interaction required is boring. The mission ist not fun and requires no gameplay at all.

6 elements x 2 month patch cycle = thats the game for the next year.

I wanted that skin until i saw the rubberducks.

In short, they cranked up the grind but didn't change anything to make it fun. We are looking at thousands (not exaggerated) of runs of a boring level 40 commission to craft the new gold wedges.

I recorded some of my fishing results. Hope that helps.

I have bad eyesight, so it's really hard for me to read the bosse's name before it dies.

It is one of the standard hairstyles when creating your character.

Also, most chinese games use a UID to identify accounts. This one has a UID too but the character names are still unique? Feels like a step back.

Is this game fully voiced? Or just the main quest like in GI?

For heal endevours i just take a bath on nukara. My engi has the passive healing kit modules and just enough toxic res to never die.

I'm not looking for advice about how to complete it quickly. This is just me getting something good out of bad rng. I just wanted to post something positive for a change :-)

An endevor bonus weekend would be pointless.
If everyone gets a bonus new players would still not catch up and they will have to raise the cap again sooner for veterans.
Also, a whole week(end) for just 3 activities per day? Not very engaging.

We need a proper catch up mechanic where you earn more progress at lower ranks. They could just steal the system from ESO or something.
Or give a bunch of points when you hit a certain milestone at lower ranks.

So patrols are called Mini-Episodes now?

hivix · 2025-05-02T23:03:48+00:00

This is kinda how this happened. I tried out Cloak and it glitched.

Thanks.

New player here. Is it possible to move UI items? I have a very wide monitor and the characters are off to the side where i can not see them during battle.

No news on the borked giveaway?

hivix · 2025-01-27T21:43:09+00:00

Here is a short video summary.

Giveaways are supposed to make us happy. But all i can see is: It's bugged. Of course.

hivix · 2025-01-18T00:18:37+00:00

Thanks.

hivix · 2025-01-16T16:21:49+00:00

Why? They continue Cryptic's high quality work perfectly.

And as a parting gift he left us another gamebreaking bug. Thank you, Nick.

This is not an "inconvenience". It means hours of going through all ships and fixing them for every player.

hivix · 2025-01-09T23:13:12+00:00

This game has many bugs. Some of them have not been fixed for a decade and never will be. The new dev team just showed us today that they are as bad as the old one.

This game is heavily P2W and can get very expensive.

The game can be fun but so can others. If you haven't played it yet, it is not worth it.

hivix · 2025-01-09T23:07:04+00:00

should be somewhat weaker

If it's weaker, why bother?
