Forcing players to restart the RNG-grind for the new weapons has really driven home the point that you don’t care about players’ time or enjoyment of the game. I had completed that grind for my existing weapons, and was having fun playing the game with weapons I was happy with. I had almost forgot the months of checking the shop and millions of dockets it took to find a great base stat item that would be bricked by consecration.
So, thanks for reminding me of what I have to look forward to every time new weapons are released. It has allowed me to uninstall. Maybe I’ll be back in a future update.
P.S. The core gameplay (everything that happens during missions) is amazing. You’ve done a great job at introducing the skill trees and listening to feedback around them, every update there has been a huge improvement. Everything is getting better, and it all makes we want to play the game. But the weapon system is just too big a letdown.
Imagine saying the reason why somebody doesn’t like the system is because they just aren’t spending anything. I spent literally everything I had trying to get a single knife blessing. millions. I have nothing left. Not playing any more. Finito. Have fun in your casino.
Literally, I burned like 3 million for nothing and some 30k plasteel (still have over 130k…)
Obviously I’m just miserly for expecting that to turn into one decent weapon instead of literally lighting up 2 months~ of gameplay proof of grind money for zilch. The emperor protects and all that.
And how much did you want? And how ambitious were your wants? How many classes do you gear up? I can say, on the forums only, there are literally hundreds of people who spend millions for nothing compared to the handful that seem to think it works great. I dunno if these people play one class and only ever touch 3 weapons or something.
Do you think everyone has full control over everything? What if I bought a game with the PROMISE there would be less RNG? If I am to take matters into my own hands, isn’t that giving feedback on forums and leaving reviews, to create pressure for change? Just as you would to place pressure on politicians?
Also, no one has any true control over anything. Free will is an illusion. Hard determinism ftw.
Incorrect. Your perception, internally and figuratively, is at the mercy of the laws of physics, your genetics, upbringing, circumstance and external stimuli. Baryonic matter leaves no room for things breaking causal chains. The past is pregnant with the future. You can’t change the past, so you can’t change the future. Every future state of the universe was set in stone at the moment of the big bang. It’s the current scientific paradigm. And the best metaphysical position in philosophy.
That aside, even if I narrow the scope and focus on lived experiences where it seems like we have free will, it’s also not useful.
Maybe I am getting physically assaulted. I guess I should just change my perception to enjoy it huh? Starving due to war and conflict in my area? Let me tune my perception dial. There’s a reason people feel things and to be authentic you can’t just change it. I can’t just be asexual/aromantic because I choose to be so. It’s not a choice. It’s not a matter of perception. I am an organic machine, taking in sensory information and executing organic commands. That’s it. And guess what? I dislike my time being wasted with RNG. Trying to change my perception on the matter would just cause cognitive dissonance. So no thank you.
