In game problems
Ya know IMHO and really its just my thought on this game, First off i love this game i really do but i am getting a little disinchanted with it because maybe i am not understanding of certain things as far as programming and stuff but as a player i think that things have really gone down hill, I know the devs are busy really i understand but here we have this new client coming and i am thinking now why have this new client when things in the old client arent working right there is almost nothing to do except trade,fight and really thats it everything is not working properly and hasnt for awhile now. So why not fix the ingame problems like keeping the npc going and the hive hunt going and other things heck we dont even have cap ship battles anymore. On the flip side obs is trying really hard as with all of tgft to try and keep some ingame fun going. I enjoy alot of things in this game but i have found myself getting bored and not wanting to really log in because i know that there is really nothing for me to do except chat. I dont really like to chat. So please take this into consideration that i really want more content in this game to work more consistantly please. Gaylic
what?
Yes, I suppose you are right. Things have been slow. BUT you need to read the forums to keep up on what's going on. A new client with a new UI release is imminent, and there's a good deal of things that should be happening soonish.

Not to troll or anything, but paragraph breaks are your friend. As is a spellcheck.

I responded to a very similar question today in a thread labeled 'Fixing whats wrong'. The complaints and writing styles seem uncannily similar in fact. Do you know each other? :)
I AGREE. The only reason I joined this game, AND talked my friends into joining, was the quality of the dev team's response to their client base. They kept you up-to-date on what was happening, anticipated player concerns, and addressed them on an almost daily basis. Personally, I attributed this to the fact that the devs, (or at least some of them) were actually playing the game on their own time. Not to say that there weren't problems, but you were more than willing to forgive because they TALKED to you about it, and seemed to know exactly what was going on in-game. Whereas now, the NPC convoys and the Hive Hunt missions were broken for 3 WEEKS and it wasn't until someone (a player) messaged the devs themselves, that they even realized that there was anything wrong with them!
I, too, am well aware that the devs are really busy, and there are some obvious glitches in communications amongst them, but it seems to me that if they would/could dedicate one person to just play the game, respond to broken parts, and then COMMUNICATE that information, both to the devs AND the players, there would be a lot less consternation amongst the fans and players, and a lot more willingness to wait patiently for the Next Great Thing.

Its funny that all you got outta that conversation is whether i could spell correctly to suit you i wasnt ranting or trolling anybody and if i have spell check i still wouldnt use it just to post on a forum on a game....................... Gaylic
I take full responsibility for not keeping the convoys flying around and the hive and hive-hunt missions working. I wrote that code, and the other guys can't be expected to keep my broken stuff limping along; they have their own projects. The fact of the matter is, those features were not really ready for production, and couldn't have been made so with just another week or two of work. Deliverator needed a rewrite, and that rewrite is now complete. Any day now the code that has been failing to keep the hive and convoys operating without my close supervision will be almost completely replaced. The new HiveHunt, Escort and Pirate missions are fun and much more reliable than the current HiveHunt mission. When we release these, this week or next, I will be on the production server most of the time for a while, making sure it keeps working and ironing out the kinks. Once again, I'm sorry that the Hive and Convoys have been so flaky; perhaps we should have just pulled them until the new code was ready. I hope you'll stick around to see the content we have coming over the next few months.
Yes momerath that will do for me i will stick around because as i said i really love this game and most of the players excluding spell checker there but thank you for responding that tells me my little voice was heard by someone who can actually fix these things thanks so much Gaylic

THANK YOU! This is EXACTLY what I was referring to earlier! I was just about to quit the game completely, but I will GLADLY stay with you now. This is the kind of responsiveness that I had grown to love (and expect) from this game and its dev group. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
PS I think you should sticky your response, momerath42, and put it at the top of the forums. Believe me, it really helps!
