Official Activity Q4 2025

[Serpentis]

Urgh.
This whole thing seems to just get a bit nastier and bad the longer the server keeps going.
At this point, it might just be a good idea to go back to former working versions.
At least when it came to gameplay mechanics.

But, I mean, the Dev Team, I am sure, are trying to do what they can to make Discovery even more fun.
But, alas, looking at this thread...
Yeah..

Well, I think as darkwind mentioned, surveys and such, before changing major (or important minor) changes to mechanics.
Sure, not all will agree, but I mean, if this is the current tension of people not being happy with changes mechanically. Something needs to happen.

And, of course, the agression people have towards each other has become.. Eh.. Obvious?
At least when I played, it was at least an attempt of it being hidden. (joke)

No, but really.
The thing I think needs to change the most, is the Fun Factor.
Like, make each way to play the game, fun.
Even if it means losening up some rules and pushing harder on others.
Make it worth to log in, no matter which role.

PvP is a primary focus, yeah? People want to pew pew, so, when the other player factions can't play.
Add more battlezones or whatever they were called. I was never was able to try them myself, but wanted to.
But, make it worth their time, and fun.
Make it possible to start one (I have NO IDEA, mechanically how any of this works,..) yourself, through a station mission thing? *Shrugs*

But, give people more reasons to stay online, even when the primary source isn't available.

The same goes for those that don't want to PvP, do the NPC battlezones or whatever.
Give them something to do that doesn't involve getting pwned by the elite PvPers.

Give the Smugglers a reason to stay off the lanes.
Add maybe NPC ships that guard the lanes, that will shoot ze red enemies.
No idea, but can NPC's "see" any illegal goods in a cargo hold?
Maybe increase the value of smuggled goods in exchange?

There are ways of using what the game already has, to great affect to change things for people to just have fun.
Use the NPC's, no matter how dumb they are.

In the end, fun is what everyone wants to have, and it reaaaaaally doesn't seem like people are having that much fun.

Like, 60% of what I see is a lot of negativity.
Which, in the end, isn't good for anyone.

Anyway, I never read the entire thread, so this might just not have anything to do with anything, but, I skimmed and saw people arguing a lot about mechanics and such.

Okbai!
