I'm at a total loss for words to express how disappointed I am with this game right now. Are the game designers trying to do something about malicious piracy? Maybe start by stop encouraging such behaviors? I believe the new "storm breaker" mission is labeled as "exploration", right? Then, how come they allow players to camp and kill people who try hard to finish the mission despite the bugs and lag? We are just chilling with two of my friends and wish to see the beauty of Pyro's storm, A team with one Polaris and Idris-M appears and starts to attack anyone near the facility. 3hrs of 3 people's effort down to drain. That's it for this game I guess. ============================= 6/23 Edit =============================== Thanks to everyone for your discussion. The original post is merely a complaint out of disappointment. It is now necessary to make it a bit more constructive after sleeping on some thoughts. Note, my intention is not to blame any players for their behaviors, but to let CIG know what's going on under their designed game event. Alert! Subjective opinions ahead: This is Pyro, a lawless, violant system by design. All sorts of PVP should be expected and players should take their own risks going there. lawless ≠ out of control. If this game design is intended to let players kill without risks and punishments, why call the players "citizens"? Any new events, from laser mining to storm breaker, in Pyro are now becoming baits to lure people around for PVP. I once thought it might be cool to do missions while watching other players to harm my interests, but in this state of the game, small to medium groups can hardly accomplish anything in this kind of event. So, what is the point of new missions and new gameplay when eventually they all become PVP? This event is for orgs, so get more crew or join a org and fight back. Is this what this game is heading? An individual player or even a small group can't survive any global events, even if it is designed for PVE. I simply wouldn't enjoy this mission with that many people. I just want to kill a worm, not claim a free ship from the exec hanger. The game is still in developing state, come back when it's ready From where I stand, this game is now being co-developed by the players and CIG. You can’t keep selling ships while brushing everything off with the excuse that “it’s just an alpha.” I can live with incomplete gameplay loops and bugs, but I can’t accept mission designs that wreck the experience and still haven’t been tweaked over the last two patches.
