1. We don't even have BNW released, which should have happened one month ago, but for the bugs.
2. We have no ascertainable release date of PVP other than "soon" (Which has been stated for 2 if not 3 updates now
3.IF/when/IF/IF/IF PVP EVER shows, devs have shown they cannot run a single addition without a host of bugs, which takes weeks, months, ???s to address (if ever).
4. While we will not have PVP this year, much less stable PVP, the characters we have earned and developed have been steadily nerfed since august, IIRC.
The time to adjust character performance/balance should have been AFTER a STABLE PVP platform had been released, not months before. Devs are playing wargames on a vaporware module and neutering our characters in the meantime with no benefit whatsoever to ANY participating player at present. There is no advance warning or discussion about these ideas... simply a unilateral augmentation of characters for their simulations that cost us performance and invested resources now.
I really do not understand the thought process of these people at all. What was the point of this update? This should have been a bug fix and "Maybe" the release of a new character that few of us even have the slots to accommodate, while fewer even stand a chance to receive it in the first place.
The furthest we have come to date is a brief Halloween module (which but for a bug that granted me access the other day is gone) and two sets of promo characters. We are all bored with the game, logging on for the benefit of trooper support...so we can earn badges... to buy things for characters the devs then ruin. Seeing how little real progress we have made, it seems as though it would have been better in hindsight to have had no "progress" at all. Instead of the "additions and alterations," we would have been better off with the time invested strictly on bug fixes, leaving the promo characters for release with the actual modules.
After the BNW fizzle, I have lost all excitement/expectation of these upcoming releases. The only thing we have had with consistency is bad news: deliberate nerfing and adjoining bugs. Sometimes we get a new character, but who really cares when you discover it will only be a matter lf time before it gets tampered with? I still love the game and see the potential, but seriously... this has become pointless and stupid. I never cared THAT much for the PVP option and given the track record of past updates and priorities, I am all but certain that the option will be nothing but a "too litte-to late" disappointment, particularly with all we have een forced to pay in advance for it.
Sorry for the bitter pill, devs., but you've earned this. I'm done supporting you financially as well. Show me/us you deserve our support and we'll see about the future, but so far, you have NOT lived up to your end.
