Game Development: Prelude

[Shadow7168]

Well, this will certainly fix some things, and I bet there's going to be quite a few more people come next server restart. Here's hoping for the best despite the naysayers. All I hope is that the next update won't be titled "Invasion of the Bots"

One question though, are you going to change the quality distribution for the map? I've heard some people want the highest q to be in the middle to encourage competition.

pay2win

Technically speaking, you don't win for paying. In particular, you don't win more by paying more. If anything, you don't win if you don't pay, but that's a different thing.

"Significantly reduce the size of the world with the new map."
I think one of the best features of H&H w8 was the gigantic world where you could find your very own place, in 6 months in w9 new players will find a base every 0.01 steps

It would be more in line with previous worlds, rather.

this is your biggest mistake in life

You keep taking features, or adding features that really define haven and hearth and replacing them with standard MMO features and chores, that and the game is boring and ugly and costs(ed) far too much for its current state, is why you're losing subscribers/players.

Hm. So I'm a hermit, not much past the 50 cap and unlikely to ever hit 125. I sort of feel like I just wasted my money on a 3 month subscription since it will now do absolutely nothing for me, especially when starting from scratch. I'm not sure how I feel about all this.

Games in Alpha, or eternal alpha arent concrete, you should always keep in the back of your mind a drastic change can come, this game is experimenting to find its niche. Your sub will carry over to the next iteration, to what I think will be a much healthier world.

for too long we have lived for the sake of experimentation. and not to see pay2win

Depends what you consider "winning"
Dont be mad that your stolen clay wont provide tokens now.

Ermm... thank you for your fervent support?

You know, it would really help if you try to explain what is bad about it and how it could be improved. Bashing with no constructive additions doesn't really add a whole lot to the thread.

then its pay2play? :I

You could indeed argue that it is, but arguably in a softer and nicer way than the current pay-to-play scheme.
