I thought the year of gameplay improvements would have fixed some very, very annoying bugs, but no. MISSION: Shubin Interstellar Manual Mining This mission in Stanton takes time, a lot of time. You have to find: - Aphorite (x80) - Dolivine (x100) - Hadanite (not easy) (x25) The search time alone takes between 30 and 50 minutes if everything goes smoothly, because Hadanite can sometimes take a very long time to find. Then there's mining, using ATLS GEO which is well-suited for it, but it still takes a huge amount of time because scanning each stone is extremely slow. If I add it all up, it would kill any desire to play. But the most FUN part of all this, the summit of the mountain... It's when you arrive to hand over your hard-earned resources, a good two hours in total, and I'm being generous, and once the elevator goes down, the mission takes your resources and that's it, nothing else happens. You're screwed... So sorry, but for an MMO, it's crap. You're not ready for permanent death, and frankly, I don't believe it's possible because for that, you'd need a bug-free, absolutely perfect game. Sorry to those who tell me it's normal because it's an Alpha, I've been playing for several years and simple things like this, things not working, really dishearten me. Anyway, I logged off and I'll be back in a few months. I'm going back to playing games that actually work.
