... I'm bored.

[SnakeLancerHaven]

Disco has become boring and the events ain't saving it. I said this over and over again, it gives a small spark of activity and then it dies because on regular times the average playerbase still stays around 30 - 50. This is a realy good example how disco crumbles down into pieces slowly, because I can say the same shi* happened to me about 3 - 4 months ago. I became inactive as hell, I think the only time I boot Disco is probably for the events and that's not even all of the events, only the ones I'm interested on, maybe (or if people spam me to log lol). Other than that, that's like a solid once in 3 weeks logging ONCE IN A MONTH even. We've talked about this in Discord already with Dime, I've shared my opinion about this and I just find it sad to see that people still come in with "It's just the Disco Final Nail drama but disco is still alive" lie that many freshlings including veterans keep telling themselves instead of facing the sad truth.

At this point it's just Nostalgia. I've worded some of my concerns on the official DiscoveryGC discord and all I got was "If you think it's easy to do, do it yourself" kind of BS or after we had a solid discussion for 30 mins suddenly Durandal decides to shift the conversation and goes "Hey how about you start by logging? There's an EVENT!!! WOOOO!!!" effing starting the same shi**y cycle from the beginning. This endless cycle of people joining one event and then just go forumlancing for the rest of the week, if even. Sure it's sad to see people going, but to be honest after 3 years I can safely say dude there are better and more active communities that provide more content in other games than Disco. Which brings me back to Nostalgia, still having contact with your friends in Disco is still part of the Nostalgia trip "Oh player A and B are still playing Disco, that's cool!" which you could easily apply to another game because almost every game is fun with Friends. And that's where disco is right now, it's only fun with friends around which we get to my inactivity after Leon (aka Voronsky) left I completely lost any motivation, disco was no fun at all and all the other folks in PG etc. while they have entertained me good (probably the only reason I kept logging now and then) it was not enough to make me log everyday or even every weekend.

People may have not left, yet. But they sure became inactive as heck. Is that seriously a positive in your eyes? When people start to log only on events, I'm sure there's a flaw here and stop blaming the game itself. Sure it is old and I realized it after I finaly got my new PC that there are way more awesome games with better graphics and mechanics obviously out there, but I never seized to see potential in Freelancer which other games don't have. Just it needs a serious work, we've brought up things like letting players drive their factions future a billion times and all we got are "You just try to turn this into EvE" kind of reapetitive arguments. You don't realize, we gave you the oppurtunity to take off the Story line Deving from your shoulders and just move along with what the players want. <- with this you wouldn't even need to do any advancements like new ships, new systems whatever the fu** you tried to rub our eyes (and in some cases anuses) with in order to stay. We wouldn't need graphical advancements, more mechanics if we had the very base function of our Factions actually mattering in the Universe and being able to advance our own stories (as we say this is a RP server). To be honest the comment of "Your factions are not Canon" by Durandal literally killed alot of members motivation in VI (the old members), that's another reason Leon left (funny enough that after I got leadership suddenly all the requests including the Coalition Transport got denied or put into a very low priority list, some people already know what I'm talking about because cash was involved).

NOTHING matters at all in this Game. Nothing you do changes anything, there's no progression. We effing acknowledged long ago that this Engine is hard to be worked with in order to implement stuff in that would give you in game progression then why the hell are the people in charge not basing a universe around serving the players, kinda just being like a guide or making things happen (as obviously you have the power to come up with updates and changing stuff in the game). Serve your playerbase, give them the Sandbox they can play around with (RP and Story whise).

PvE has been brought up too in the past, but here we go again those are fixes we talk about which wouldn't be bad if we could freaking craft our own future as a faction, they would all become secondary to low priority, eventually. While I understand that you fear that people would leave if their factions get completely obliterated by ganking faction, I want to freakin ask you, what changed in NOT doing that right now? Hanging on on those last 30 - 50 players or the ones that only show up for events? We always asked for a change, not rubbing your own shi* against the wall over and over again. You've taken over the Server, you booted out your only other team you had left working with you and now you're just going down the rabbit hole. Can't say I'm surprised as I saw this coming either way but people had hopes and that was definitly crushed after a couple months of the takeover.

And I m pretty sure I haven't listed most of the things I typed on Discord because I'm short on time here kek but I will put them in here, or if necessary even open a new thread. This is ridicoulus, how many of the complaints have been ignored in the past? Remember the wall of text from Omicega and others that were bringing out solid facts of bias and corruption within the Staff, how many people have opened threads and brought up that you should stop fooling us and for once, god dang once listen to our requests and offers. It starts to feel very weak when you just shut down EVERY idea just because you don't like it or because you're incapable of understanding what we're talking bout, because obviously you've been stuck in this dark corner for decades instead of visiting other communities and playing other games seeing how things are done, grabbing ideas and inspiring yourselves.

I was lucky actually that I got banned for 2 years so I could visit other awesome communities and awesome people along the way instead of being stuck in here with the same repetitive shi* over and over again.
