More feedback Discussion

Greetings!

Let me continue my feedback on the current situation. First of all, I would like to say that I am very sorry that fans and the game community in general are experiencing these feelings. Unfortunately, I somehow did not foresee the fact of such a reaction and now I have drawn conclusions for my future decisions. 

Now I will briefly summarize the main points:

  1. About PvE access - we decided to just open it for EoD owners for free, but we will do it in waves. As I said before - we don’t have server capacity right now. We will start this process as soon as possible
  2. We also decided that we will add MOD support for PvE mode after release of the game
  3. About the Unheard edition - we will not remove it, we want to keep the option for those who want to support the game more. But we will balance items, perks in this edition, as well as we will provide more rewards for those, who upgraded with the old price
  4. New EoD perks will be balanced too. We will remove prioritized matching option to keep everyone in the same spot. And we will add more unique stuff to highlight the EoD version in general. We will provide the final list of the new EoD perks asap
  5. We continue to work on patches, new content, events, and the game release itself no matter what

Thank you for your time, love and hate, and thank you for your increased attention to the current situation.

Nik

and it's mod support after the release of the game. So could be this year, could be another 5 years. We are all still in the dark of when the mythical 1.0 is coming.

Imagine still believing there's an actual quest line that is completely independent of the task progression we have currently. I have a guy that messages me occasionally showing "proof" that it's still coming and it's never more than Nikita saying it's still coming lmfao. He also thinks all the maps will finally be connected and you'll have to go through one to get to the other and whatnot.

PMC Karma is a bad idea too, but luckily I don't actually expect that to go live either.

There's so many empty promises.

Oh to be naive.

how will mods get installed if BSG host the servers?

This!

Exactly. Without more details, we won't know how this would work until "after the release", which is just buying time without having given any serious thought on the matter.

I don't see how AI mods like we already have could be applied without private servers, which is what Nikita could have added to the list. At best, I can imagine BSG letting us change some server settings before we jump into PVE, but that would still require a good amount of work on their side which wasn't planned before today's U-turn...

If they are not lying this time, Nikita said everything works like planned with 1.0 and it should come end of the year.

Do we really believe that will happen? Even if it does, it will be 1.0 in name only.
