General Game Discussion / Re: Season 3 Thoughts
« on: February 21, 2018, 07:06:39 am »Let's be clear: nobody left because of new added content. That doesn't make any sense. Adding more content makes game better. No, they left because they 1) were kicked out for cheating (finally), or 2) they can't seem to upset people as much any more (no loot drop), or both.
this point is simply flawed by execution, players can leave if they don't like the content added or removed. in my opinion though, the only good thing added from this wipe was the PVE stuff, basically nothing else. pvp is shit and boring now, and the thrill of the game is completely lost. why make a classic fallout based RPG where you can't lose loot? you could say that in classic fallout you never lost loot to begin with, but that's because the game is singleplayer and was meant to be singleplayer. when you die in game, the game doesn't just reload your save, it's basically a game over (hence the dead vault dweller and the quote about you being dead once you die). the only reason you kept your stuff is because of saving and such. but it made perfect sense for you to lose your things in a multiplayer fallout game. when everyone can keep their loot and just repair it, there is no reason to even pvp besides dicking around, and even that aspect is lost in reloaded. there's nothing to do besides dick around with the new quests which have writing that is decent at best and amateur at the least. there's a reason that so many players left reloaded, and that's because pvp is dead and there's no loot drops. pvp kept people playing to begin with. when you basically take that away, and a deep mechanic such as hexing, who cares about sitting at range and bursting? it's boring. just because the game is free does not mean it's immune to criticism.
TL;DR: the majority of the playerbase did not want the changes to begin with and they can leave if they don't like the new content. your point doesn't make sense because you insinuate that every PVP player is an asshole and a big meanie head who just wants to piss people off, when in reality they played for the thrill of the loot and for the action
