First I'd like to thank JM for the little letter, its always nice to see a sortof open comminication towards the community. It somtimes can be a bumpy ride, but the result will be way better due it.
Second I would like to say that not all people dislike the FvF events. I have the feeling some players dislike recent updates and shout it out on the offcial forums how they dislike pvp and the upcoming updates / plans, some even don't bother anymore to log into the game (doesn't keep them from posting all day though).
Players who are pleased with the game just like to play it, posting on the forums is a reduction of playtime, witch isn't good
I understand a few doubts some players have. With wars over terretory coming up everyone will be affected by it, wether you participate in the fighting or not, you will allways have some advantages or disadvantages as a result of the battles.
So far Nevrax has done a great job with the technology, time and funds they have available. Making a game like this is a hughe risk, Nevrax took it and they made it. They have done an amazing job during closed, open and focus beta. I've been with the game from the start and I have seen what progress it has made past 2 years. Some updates seemed a little strange, even totaly wrong, but when you saw the result in the end it somehow turned out great. Knowing this I'm pretty sure Nevrax will also do a damn good job with Chapter III and R².
It's true that the game wasn't ready when they launched it, but when is something like this finished? I don't think it ever is.
Gosh I'm on a roll again, I got to make a point sometime. I even already forgot what I was planning to write
Lots of the efforts have been put in balancing pvp, even a strike team was set up. A lot of balancing has been done and the result seems to be very decent. Maybe its not perfect, but I think thats pretty much impossible to archieve. Since a lot of the rescources past few months went into pvp, we'll probly see a few updates in a row involving it. They've been working on it for months, it is a bit logical don't you think?
But with this recent letter it seems Jessica is telling us Nevrax went down the pvp road a bit to sudden. The Nevrax staff seem to have agreed on the fact there still are people around who aren't waiting for pvp or pvp content. I guess they are right, the pvp-dislikers (got to give 'em a name
) won't stick around foraver waiting for the content "they" like. You could all be pleased now, Nevrax is working on it
Oh just had a bright idea (doesn't happen a lot, so I probly should write this down). Jessica told something about PvE content/events, so I was thinking about a possible outcome. It needs to fit the lore and it needs to be important (why else should someone bother participating). A lot of kittin mobs gather resources themself, mostly to provide the kittin queen with food. So if the kittin win, sources in that area will be more scare and the kittin will protect thier newly gained terretory pretty fierce (like they do in the old lands).
If the kittin loose, the sources will get a boost. Ofcource that area gets raided by some (smaller) groups of kittin from time to time, they don't give up easely do they?
Why can't kittin attack outposts for example, I don't think they are happy with a drilltower drilling thier precious mats?
As you can see, there are lots of good things that are possible, just give Nevrax the time and the result will be something every other mmo developer only is able to dream about ...
