I wanted to re-open this Thread for Civilized Conversation.
It is imperative we get a Range overhaul for Suppression Gas as a close to first priority because nothing else being "Prioritized" is actually having any progress made on it. Right now, since the lack of players populating the servers with their spirits alone is not enough.
I mean seriously what exactly is being Prioritized? Serious Exploits are not being fixed. Exploits that have been in game Several years. Some thought to be fixed and really not. There is an office of Anarchy Online team members and 1 Works on the Engine. From what I understand there are 2 code-monkeys working on the code, and a team full of designers who are stripping content we paid for from the game and possibly working on an expansion for new content that has nothing to do with why people stay and play Anarchy Online. At one time it was all about pvm, in the days before Shadowlands.
Now it's all about PvP. Bringing back a community of hundreds of thousands again is easy, because they are all waiting for the new engine and following PvP content. As has been said by many players, the Engine won't stand alone. You need a precursor PvP expansion (SL Towers) and (Balance) Add that with the RK1+2 Merge and everyone who has left, will be back.
THEN and only then, work on some fabulous PvM Expansion with much content and new items, so people are Actually Excited about grinding and farming for their new items for a useful purpose(PvP) Unless your going to be Uping our Level from 220 to 300, any new Expansion you put out that is not more pvp and towers, is going to be useless, as all the 220's in Game can already defeat it and for what? more items? for Pvm? there is no gain there.
Oh you can say whatever you want, you can rationalize how what I just said is a bunch of BS, but take a survey and find out for yourself. Send all those inactive people a simple e-mail that ask the questions of what I just mentioned and a free month for their time. Does Funcom even actively participate in Market Research? There is a proven system that does not only work when you release a game but much after a game or product has been released and during your product or services lifetime. Market Research, it was your friend.
It's quite simple, why don't Funcom focus harder on what game made it's company what it is?
You take care of your car right? Your Home? Your Lawn? Your Children? You utilize your Education to get further in life? Watch your pennies and the dollars take care of themselves right? When your parents get old and their health fails, you don't just let them rot in their dilapidated home do you? Where they can't take care of themselves? They made you, now it's your turn to take care of them?
It's alright though, Once this brief curiosity about The Secret World Passes, as it did with Dreamfall, Age of Conan Etc. We watched them fade out of existence. Anarchy Online is about the only game that Funcom that still has a name and sparks interest from how long ago now? While their newer games eventually failed and became nameless.
My rant being said, Nothing aginst FC or anyone. Just rationalizing in a civilized way WHY PvP supression needs to be changed. That being said.
Let's have some great Intelligent debate and Insight into this topic. Let's tell Funcom without Trolling each other or FC why we Know what's good for this game is what it is, and why We the People who continually play, know more about the topic.
Thank you all for reading. This has nothing to do with me, It is about all of you the players and I look forward to hearing Intelligent Conversation from all of you on this subject.
