I have to Agree with the Original Poster and Saii. I didn't intially agree with the many posts bout how how things should be more traditionally fps like however, this current build has shown disturbing gameplay that would easily kill the game for new players.
Alot of this will be solved by the skills and time for the current whipe to be over, but most of it won't.
Packs of Teams. Before they could easily be countered by one man. Most players.. are not that skilled.. as the best fpsers'. So when the best players get randomly dumped on one team. While normaly not a problem, the new cash ratios have kinda fubared this. A pack had settled on a hill, my players were just lamb to the slaughter attacking it. This could be easily countered by a dropship.. but cost.. Again if these guys are the best and getting the best gear.. every single game.. It easily becomes a one-sided battle.
Same Battle. Sniper hides and makes use of unpassable, h ard to move around rocks on a mountain. Easily Spawn camping and killing everyone with minimal effort. Again, Dropship, counter.
The rate that you make isk on the losing side, is not enough to afford these dropships. And Winning is far far higher reward than it needs to be, when alot of games the opposing players get utterly slaughtered.
To be blunt, not everyone is skilled. Thats just how it is. The Edge the enemy has cannot be that huge. Even if its an Eve Universe. Fps'es die when the losing team gets almost nil fun.
I can say there was a great moment, a team of three of us took out a large group.
I've had a chance to play with some of the big names in FPS, and I'm not that great, and I've gotten worse with time soo.
I'm watching these current battles, and its like seeing people stuck in pods not moving, while tons of Strategic cruisers just pop them...
This becomes a serious issue, you can see this in some.. lesser games.. that dont live that long.
I play EvE, I've played Ut2004 for a decade and still do, I've had plenty of time to play other fps throught the years. I wont even bother mentioning the others.
I look forward to seeing the next build, but I'm seriously disappointed. Graphics wise the game is fantastic now, but the huge maps are just plain sniper matchs one on one. So most of the time when I spawn, I'm not sure what I'll be doing now, for this build.
Isk Rates need a serious Adjustment, I question the current as being not well thought out.
Gun range is nice but on these maps its just cutting spawn camps down.
Maps need more cover, less problems moving. Extreme wide open spaces are somewhat an issue. I really love Biomass.
Instant Battle finder... I'm thinking its always better to have players find the matches. I hate this thing lol.
