Please provide fair information for the whole community

Dear Devs,

There are always rumors about what the next patch will bring, when the expected wipe will come, how exactly the mechanic will be implemented...etc But what it's unfair is that some players have that info and use it to help/boost/cheat they nation/friends... We have clues that this is happening... If it's not true... sorry. If it IS true...do something, please.

Indeed, thats why I'm not ensuring it, I'm aware they might be just rumors... but if the situation I tried to describe is happening, if there are "special" players that have access to an early version of the game and then they are providing that info to their friends/nation... It's not fair for the community.

There will be no wipe - please stop listening to rumors about wipes. Wipes if happen will be announced 30 days in advance. The next wipe that will happen (dont know when) will only reset all ports to neutral on pvp servers, nothing else will be affected.

 

Also. 

No one knows anything special - even mods. No special information was given to anyone. 

As usual keep expectations low and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Basically always expect the worst something like this "this game will fail as all indie games. Ship combat is good and will get better, the rest will only get worse"

 

ps several old timers (most of them also volunteer mods) were asked to test the bugs on two new ships before the patch, to see if they are not broken and can actually perform before given to testers. We found lately that users dont like broken things during alphas (strangely).

Everythinh clear, thanks for the answer.

And no, I dont wont to think the worst hahahaha gor for it, make it better. Alpha (actually beta) are for bug huntting... They are expected, if a tester doesnt catch any bug he didnt earn his salary, I know it hell well.

Nice that you are someone who understands that If i read one reddit or so there are so many people who claim that the dev´s should extensively test the features before bringing them to the whole community, lol they dont want to understand that we are the main testers.

buildings will be safe until the asset reset (if it happens)

Don't know why, but every time you say that, my expectations rise. Think it's the "might" in there, I always imagine you saying that with a grin on your face.

Very glad to hear this.  I was told by 'someone' who shall remain nameless, that there was a private forum, that a complete asset wipe was coming in June and it had already been decided.

 

This puts to bed that rumor.

Many thanks Admin!

it would be nice if they gave patchnotes and a roll back capability then......ie leak patch was stupid and anything lost was permalost.....if they would tell us what was in the patch as advise us to be careful in combat rather than letting ai ships sink 1sts in 40 seconds on first combat....and then rolled back so people can continue their merry way then all was fine but no they perma sank ships that took days to get built and  sat around for 2 days saying we like angry people on clearly issued design..

 

 

i am all for testing but if we say something is badly broken don't sit around fro 3 days figuring out how upset we will get then patch and not roll back.

 

it is a two way streak respect the tester by giving them some idea of what they are testing and dont take a dump on their efforts whn you know you screwed up....ROLL BACK BAD PATCHES

 

 

most other games have a launcher with patch notes....iknow this is a small team and stuff but seriously they half ass a lot of shit and we put up with it...

 

 

great game,  good polish on lots of stuff but very little care to things at times......UI needs some love so it doesn't suck....can be a bit craf but sucky crafting sliders need a lt of work....ask them to make large carrages from raw every day for a week and see if they think the ui is acceptable.....it is rude to ignore things forever

Mhh. The thing is, the only way they are gong to know that something is badly broken is to roll it out to us 'alpha testers'. It's all well and good getting a few devs to fight each other, but in order for them to see how things pan out, they need to test it on the masses and gather feedback and stats.  They got that, listened to the forums, and fixed it.

You say you are all for testing, but really you want someone to test it before you test it so you don't lose anything.

 

That aint how alpha's work buddy.

As for roll backs. That patch had a lot of changes. Would be silly to roll back everything just because of one issue. Personally, I think we did our jobs, gave feedback and they fixed it. Bravo us
