Pretty much. On that note, I wouldn't mind if they just grabbed the bottom left corner of each map and dragged out the top right. Just tripple the size of everything.
Can't believe there's 29 pages of this. Anyway, I'm heartbroken to see the most enthusiastic person I ever met ingame lose faith. That's a bad sign if there ever was one. I've had periods where I can't for the life of me find any enthusiasm for this game. I have my guild to keep my going and they are a what keeps playing. Trying to improve upon their skills and be the best squad leader I can be. When I'm alone all I can do is practice my accuracy and my other skills ingame. Finding enjoyment alone is difficult if not impossible. I get where you are coming from Algernon, I really do. All I can wish for some days is that launch will be a better day for all of us. Regardless, this community needs you. You are one of the few people still keeping your faction positive. There's salt and negativity in most of the community but I never found any with you or your guild. Don't become part of that.
And that's what's happening with all those angry neckbeards lobbying for more this or less that Anger that the game is going to be great without their omg so precious advice Still not convinced about Eldar butts tho
Completely understand what you are saying and agree. My personal opinion is that we all expect so much from this game, so many features are promised yet it takes a long time for all those things to be delivered. I very often read the argument of "work in progress" against any complains or suggestions. That argument wears a bit after some time, there needs to be actual progress. The thing is that the development of EC requires time, much more time than we all like to admit. I still catch myself getting angry about unfinished, unbalanced or unpolished content and have to remind myself that its just a game, i want to have fun and it is still Alpha. It is a human trait to see only the bad things, the key to not falling into salt and angriness is to stay calm and keep purging the alien, the mutant, the heretic. Or whatever it is you do these days. Have patience brothers, heretics and xenos. Have patience and put some trust into the devs.
Haha, context my friend! I was referring to a portion of those that DO melee, not the amount that melee in proportion to other builds. English is a funny language though, I do not fault you for misappropriating my meaning.
@Svempa, @Cplex I still do not understand how you guys fail to see progress in this game... In the last 4 months they have added: three factions (partially), 5 weapons and a dozen relic skins, an entirely new itemization system, initial advancement tree, 3 maps and revamped 2, and various bugfixes and small balances. Addiitonally, and I have said this many times to people like you who are "losing hope": THEY DO NOT SHOW US EVERYTHING THEY HAVE WORKED ON. We have no idea how much stuff they have partially completed in their offices but are waiting for another tweak or two before shipping it off to Games Workshop for approval, or how much stuff is waiting in their Inbox to be approved. We just don't know, and we can't make a rational decision about it without a great deal of assumption. That is what you guys are doing, assuming everything we've seen is all they have. I remember in one twitch they said they mapped to entire continent before the PikkoServers failed and it wasn't open world any more. That means that they could segment off parts of the map, throw some buildings and spawners on it and we suddenly have more maps to play in a short time. Fixing maps and guns so they are balanced will not happen before release. It never does. Balancing games usually takes years. You can put numbers down on a spreadsheet and say they should work and be balanced but it isn't the same as actual in game meta. We can get close before release for sure.
Guys arguing whether melee or ranged top the score charts. If I wanna outscore my team by thousands of points I just go full on armor hunter, and this is at a point when the Tac Melta is really bad. Taking out enemy tanks and transports with a quick melta bombs and 1/2 melta shots is really the best way to get points (or Lascannons if you gotta do it from range, but melta bombs and resupply cabinets are the most efficeint way to take those hard targets down). Kills I am of the mind its really a matter of skill: JPA is pretty easy to top the scoreboard for kills with, but then again so is Plas Cannon or Sorc/Apoth bolters. Shit, I reliably get top 4 with plas Tac, especially if I am playing with a team. The next patch should be interesting though. See how things change.
I perceive progress as something towards a complete game (which was promised), i agree to your statement that there have been many things added to the game. It is all still is rough draft of what is to be expected. There are still bugs that have been there from the beginning, fps issues, balance issues, etc. I see all that and i accept that fact, it is Alpha what can we do other than testing? It will all improve BUT it takes time. I thought i made it all clear, time and patience is all we need. I dont fail to see progress, its just the fact that people use the "work in progress" as an excuse for everything. Sorry if I failed to make that point clear. Next, where exactly did I say I'm losing hope? I activly encourage people to have patience and stick with the game, just as I do. I want to have fun, like every single one of us. At least that is what i hope. I also said it takes time to add stuff and you saying "...they do not show us everything they have worked on..." you just agree to my point, "...We have no idea how much stuff they have partially completed in their offices but are waiting for another tweak or two before shipping it off to Games Workshop for approval, or how much stuff is waiting in their Inbox to be approved..." again proving my point. And where do Svempa or I make any assumptions? I even admit that it is Alpha and thus flawed, that we have to remind ourselfs of that. Again I am on your side, our viewpoints just might slightly differ.
