They made self pinning a more overpowered strategy than it was, invalidating most efforts to try and remain full, and making alien any notion of retaliating. If a new player finds themselves being farmed and they do the "best thing" and sp immediately when they then try to farm oppo from pin, they might then think that their success rate is constant just like on parties, and when they see mostly losses, they think they will always lose. But it's not true. Self pinning being the most OP strategy sabotages all chances of success. It allows many farmers today to harvest cf's from multiple opponents because none of them eat hits, they just take a few warning shots and keep themselves bothered, maintaining SP. If they actually want to fight and stand for themselves, and stifle pirates, they could (and they could do it even more often if mb wasn't as OP as it currently is) . All it would take is to do the old-fashioned thing. Regen, bury cash, and wait for oppo to get greedy.
For years and years they have come up with these party player updates and the pvp base would get nothing. We'd email them, and we were told our updates were coming and we should just wait. We got nothing. We waited 5 years to have a pvp hunt maybe 3x a year. This is what we got in exchange for cat cafe, nonstop party hunts, ridiculous misc stat items that can only be obtained by party players, peace tags, mangled party mechanics. Our game was destroyed so these noobs could hand their paychecks over to ata. It's a cult now. They're paying to be in a cult. So that their ata overlords may notice them in a discord chat and throw them some scraps. It's sickening, and most of all it's sickening that ata LIED to us. They lied and strung us along, telling us to wait our turn, and taking our money to build the monstrosity they have created now. SHAME
I want more PvP updates Hitting parties is only so entertaining smh We had that zombie PvP hunt (I did the xc lb) which quite frankly, was pretty disappointing in a multitude of ways. Somebody’s 3mcs alt won that, btw, ‘cause they didn’t account for stat buckets for that at all or think that through in any way lol.
I found them. It wasn't fun. It was depressing. Wow things have changed so much. I'll get a forum ban if I post them here. 😑
This still bothers me but you've stopped posting and I don't want to tire you by bringing you back but it's got to be said. We don't just blindly believe in that without any evidence ... How would you even know or suggest to know that there was overwhelming support when a.t.a totally conceal all that data?
I just checked the Code of Conduct for forums and they specifically mention this. I think this may need amendment for cases when the issues being discussed are about specific updates, and no personal information is visible. Like often we don't even know which developer we are speaking to, and there is no way to identify them unless they disclose that. Thus the only personal information which could be compromised is the OP's, and within reason, it is their own perogative to prevent sensitive information from being publicised.
The devs have nothing to hide, so why are they against us posting ss of conversations with support in forums? They got nothing to hide, so they shouldn't be afraid.
In a snack wrap, points were made from both sides of the spectrum. I was here before the update and after so don’t @ me.
