• • beta player recap the road to failure

  • EvE works becuase there is a well balance economy, pvp, pve.  People don't have to PvP. That is why a fishing ship would ve been a great idea.  You can build a serious economy just on fishing.  This will create a community of chatters, and group play.

• • beta player recap the road to failure

  • Background:  When POTBS was introduced to the MMO Community, all of us EVE pilots were very happy to see a game that will compete against EVE.  During Beta Testing this game showed alot of potentials.

    The reason why POTBS is great:

    ship to shore, Walkable character
    Ship based game with customization
    Ports contention battle

    what we asked for:

    Fishing economy, similiar to mining... but an economy culture beside a PvP or PvE.
    Manual crafting, pointing and click just won't work. current system is too easy!!!!
    Manual resources collection economy.... point and click will not work
    Huge maps, This will give more random on PvP. (in EVE it takes hours or days to travel from one corner of space to another) 
    Social card game, chess, casino or what ever in tarven.
    More Ships types, i.e fishing, rowboat, small boats. (When you think about POTBS has only one type of ship, combat ships)
    DONT RELEASE THE GAME UNLESS U CAN DO THE ABOVE ITEMS... i remember all of us yelling at FLS,... that POTBS was not ready... 

    why this game failed:

    1) Didn't listen to us.. i think FLS didn't listen to a single beta tester. If you read the beta tester forum.

• • it's not worth anymore for me... read this before u play. i beg u!!!

  • It is funny to read fans of EVE defending their position...   I swear EVE players don't look in the mirror before typing a reply... so, if i were to summary their talking points on EVE:

    It is the new players fault for being a noob and stupid.  Deal with it.   You are going to die, there is nothing you can do about it.

    Am I right?  Seriously, if you analys their replies, you will see that you are no longer playing your game.  You have to do XYZ in order for you to be safe. WHY DOES NEW PLAYER HAVE  TO DO XYZ in order to be safe? So far we got a few replies and all of them have the same underlining theme.   Question to anyone that wants to waste 14.99...  Go read their forum on "War'Dec" and noobs killing.. You will get the same theme message.  

    Hey, it is your money....

  • words can't xplain how insane it is for new players to start.  you can read  all the fanboy threads.. but even fan boys will be hard to explain this simple logic.  This is what you are paying 14.99 for:

    More experience players can kill you anytime.  If they can't, they can do the following things:

    1. war'dec you (granted permission to kill you anywhere) 
    2. Sudicide attack, (attacking you at their lost)
    
    you can read all the explainations, justification, and EvE's "love me" threads.. but the bottom line, if someone want to kill you... THERE IS NOT THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.. what does is this mean? imagine you spent 1 mth working for cash to buy a nice shield, sword, armors and spells, but out of nowhere some more high level player just gank on you.  Once you are dead, all items are gone and so is your 1 mth hard labor!!

     

    it is your 14.99... you are more than welcome to throw it away.  EVE older players are looking for more noobs to kill.. please  be a victim!!!
