from a high lvl coiner ex coiner or what ever point of view

B_B..arghh · 15 May 2018, 9:16PM

ok kix this is my point of view from a "end game player " for 6 / 7 yrs bp took over from xbox on my gaming fun , for 5 yrs i had weekly vodka driven rampages , i used to flip sometimes at what you implemented but soon got over it , i used to pull ppl into the game , i used to help them develop and spent exactly zero mins on xbox ! Even the damm scourge raid i enjoyed !
you have turned a very addictive game and very enjoyable game even with its ups and downs ! into one constant chore to even log on ! i used to come home from work eat while i was playing , drink while i was playing and play when i should be sleeping :-/ even when i spent 1200 gold in a night i used to enjoy it !

current game

I dont rush back from work , i dont spend 7 or 8 hrs hitting bases , i don't check my base at work , i don't recommend ppl to play , i dont rampage for hours and when i log on the first thought is " what have kix screwed up today "

That must tell you something !

B_B..arghh · 15 May 2018, 9:28PM

oh and did mention support !

i used to get a reply within a matter of hrs every time , now if im lucky enough not to get a so called expert who couldnt tell a bow to astern of a ship never mind a game ! i am lucky to get a reply within a week !

i send a ticket before a post on the forums of a glitch with a target or event i now get a reply of " issue has been fixed one , 2 maybe 3 days later or maybe a week no compensation no nothing ! not even a sorry

6/7 years on one game is Massive. It tells you they did really well to keep you on board so long.

B_B..arghh · 15 May 2018, 9:51PM

and its not just me , look at activaty last raid , talk of fm targets , talk of unbeatable bases , talk of repair times , talk of build times , broken promises etc etc

slickR · 15 May 2018, 10:21PM

Great post. they have ruined this game with all these different cycle chit just a ploy to make you spend ore money on the game never ending cycle of spending and spending like a mouse on the wheel chasing the bait. this game isn't fun at all the greed of Kixeye along with sub-par development the game is so bad you never really know if ANYTHING is working as intended and that's sad. lol they just throw dodo against the wall and hope it stick's.

rayden · 15 May 2018, 10:35PM

nicely said my thoughts exactly...I do almost as you do..I also love how they throw the keeping your fleet stacked bug in there during raids or TLC so all of a sudden your nicely stacked fleet all of a sudden stops just when your out of range of attacking fleets and you get hammered got to keep your finger duct taped to the up arrow practically..

VvVvVvVvV · 15 May 2018, 10:44PM

It is a very addictive game. It could be awesome if they actually, even just occasionally, did things that were FUN without costing an arm and a leg and chunks of genitalia.

I'm sure there are other games out there that provide a similar experience, but I really don't feel like starting over somewhere at Level 1. It's a shame to leave behind years of work, plus the satisfaction of (mostly) understanding a massively complex game.

I play to stay moderately active, hanging around to see what they do with the HTML5 version. Things in this version are nerfed stupidly fast, don't see any point to pushing to get new stuff when it'll be obsolete in less than a month. I'm not optimistic the HTML5 version will be an about-face from this debacle, but one never knows.

But what I do know is that they've killed any fun factor this version of the game used to have.

well repair times are like 1/3 of what they were when you were truly addicted, even less for PvP. it sounds like you were playing a lot when basers were a 1.5 day repair, your dock was a 4 hour repair and didn't auto start, buildings were also a longer repair too.

what B_B..arghh said I use to do the same I was a real keen BP player I got all my mates playing it
and we had a lot of fun. Now all my mates have dropped off and I am not far behind them.
Putting up with Kixeyes lack of communication and straight out lies has got to much for me

Bob_62 · 16 May 2018, 11:53AM

Who cares how long this game has been around..I'm sorry but there comes a day when you've got to quit spiking the homecoming football and start smelling the toast burning

I am amazed at how much people are not allowed to have an opinion on here. I have been here since the game began practically. I play for a while, and quit. Then for some stupid reason, come back. I like the game... I used to love the game... But... It has become too much of a chore to keep up and the cost to do so has significantly increased. The last raid series and this one are the best Kixeye has produced in a long time.

you mean the days when i coined the borbas grimshine and flt with a 6.5 hr repair each lol , for it to be nerfed in 48hrs lol or the 5.5 hr berserker repair per hull :-/ but damm we had fun then ! most fun flt i ever did was a 5x triton thud fleet lol from its first release i did the raid 4x with them hit bases , got res , bps from drac bases . mind you orange hammer heads where fun , remember the first time i got hit with dreadx flt with shock q on , holly mother of black rain lol

chopsy · 16 May 2018, 3:56PM

very well put. I also put down the xbox controller for a while except for when a new Fallout would come out now and then. Now when I see how much it would cost to keep up I think about how many Xbox games that would buy me and how much more fun they will be (because they test those and don't hate the players!)

chunnder · 16 May 2018, 4:52PM

Bad luck Bort your trolling didn't work, better luck next time lol

american crusader · 16 May 2018, 5:58PM

Wish the mods would remove the troll posts like they’re supposed to : (. Dude had a valid point and it resonates entirely with me I’m in the same boat. Borts post is not cool. Condescending fan boy attitude.

chopsy · 16 May 2018, 7:53PM

they're happy to shut down threads that make a good point against Kixeye but obviously it's in their best interest to have a troll who's on their side around. probably actually a CM's second account

chunnder said:

what do you mean trolling? my statement was factual. perhaps you should learn what trolling actually is lol.

the 4 hour dock repair that only started from when you logged in was how it worked for years.

pvp repairs were over a day. if you failed a base attack as a non-coiner, you literally had to wait over a day to try again. as a coiner you paid 48 coins.

build times were 20 days for a single ship for a long time, with no tokens available. even a seawolf was hitting 10 days. these days as an example last month i built 6 ships.

even ships moved at 1/5th of the speed they move at now.

if the game was still like all that, it would have died years ago.

There is a big difference between old and messing up a good game. The guy is giving his opinion and you come back to defend Kixeye. He makes very good points that a lot of people can relate to. You just want to troll him and get the last word.

Toshiyuki Morikawa · 16 May 2018, 9:58PM

The way I see it is that there were other problems back then, which people were more inclined to ignore/accept. That doesn't detract from the fact that there are issues now, but anyone claiming "the old days were great" should take off the rose colored glasses. Remember the great cargo hold disaster, losing a fleet or more because of that screw up? Pretty sure the CS person gave me enough gold to get like 1 ship back. Huzzah. Or farming salvages for blueprint pieces/res because they meant something back then?

Yes there were problems that made a lot of people quit but there were awesome friendships made that kept people in the game and I remember all those sec battles that lasted for hours when we all had fun, in those days we protected our base hitters in fact unless you have seen that awesome sight of 50 odd fleets travelling to battle you really don't know what this game was about.

Bort has always been a ball boy for the real players. You can tell he's a little Winnie for kix. Very pathetic life he must have. I feel sorry for him.
