Lets Talk About PIMD

Here's the problem. The people playing PIMD during the warring phase didn't make ATA any money.

So the game moved with the demands of the market.

The engine used for the game was, broadly, the same as ATAs warring games; Yet ATA built a game about college life - and tried to force fit a college storyline over a warring engine.

Hence pupils are bigger players than tutors - that wouldn't happen in the real world.

And you make money by fighting - again, I have never seen that at Harvard or Wharton.

But what you do have is a load of people who want to role play a college life, and get married (really? Why?) and have PIMD relationships but in game and in 3rd party messaging and photo sharing apps.

So that's the direction the game was taken in.

I remember when people were "farmed" for having plunder wars, and now you've just got cat cafe instead.

I don't get it.

Hey Jerk - looking forward to you taking this post down and locking the thread 

 

2 years is not enough to go back when clubs were always warring each other lol.

 

Weekly planned wars, by my recollection, were 4-5 years ago

 

I'd say 3-4.5 years ago maybe even 2.5 (it hasnt been 5 years since Pimd was released until december) is when we'd have frequent club v club system wars. As soon as you finished one, people would say "we're headed over to so and so to help them" so you'd head out to another war. We'd have like 3 wars a day lol. There was always a war to choose from in campus buzz.

Ahhh back when i had no job and wasnt in college. That was the life

 

I think the pupil and tutor thing should be swapped. So I think we, instead of buying tutors, should buy pupils? 0.o i dont know how to explain this. Lol :lol: what I'm trying to say is some people tutor more than one person, so tutors have more than one pupil. It can also work with pupils having more than one tutor but it just makes more sense to be for the pupil to be weaker and have less intel on a war game. ? This kind of makes more sense in my head.

 

Well by simply saying: "a pupil is the student and tutor is the teacher" that basically sums it up lol.

Our pupil should be our tutor since their "job" is(was) to teach us and guide us.

 

Jopo is right I'm almost on my 3yr mark. Hell a group of friends & I just used to be called war merc's. Wars were around so much I could go buy red bull n stay up for days just jumping from one war to another.


You know I dropped way more money on dns back then. More than I put out right now on even hunts. Ata is just making more hunts to get money faster. They just got greedy that's all.


In all honesty tho most player slow down in playing or quit after they lcbc. How is ata going to keep pimd going when so many are getting bored with hunt after hunt. Hell ata can't even keep up with gd ideas for hunts anymore. It may not be next yr or so but soon pimd will be gone. Just face it.


The difference between a party & wars is big. A party you will get bored of because you hit the same damn bars and/or follow the same flippin patterns. Wars you don't do the same things. You fight with a team of great players and for the most part fight against new ppl on opp.


Nothing about this game is really like a college. Tell me how any of our hunts is college related bcuz its not.


Ata has made this game to grow & be bigger and better than the next player. How does just hitting parties & collecting items prove you are the best? It just flat out doesn't. So the direction ata is taking pimd will leave players bored with this game.

 

Okay  makes sense.
And thanks for summing that up. :lol:

 

what is war ?

 

Soon to be lost or a forced out way of playing the game by ata.

 

:lol:

 

I have one question how do we earn extra credits? :-(

 

Someone sum this up for mehh.
