Don't complain about things that happen because a game is in beta. Not cool.

Also, still waiting for an invite. Username in-game is Micro102NC

Odd, I just tried to invite you and it said character not found. Don't know if that's because you're offline, or there's a typo in the name? You're on East 2?

Remeber it's a beta! No right to complain!

Don't care if it is or isn't. Something's wrong? I can and will damnwell point it out. Also PS2 is despite the lable not a beta, it's an alpha version and is as incomplete and lacking for basic gameplay features as Dwarf Fortress is. If it was a genuine beta there would be no locked-up certs and you could buy any weapon, etc. The certs are locked because i doubt they're even coded in at the moment, just like the weapons are locked because they arn't modeled.

You know how annoying the command channel would be if it only cost 40 certs to use it?

If they were smart they'd let the player determine for themselves what command channels they could listen to. (i doubt they're that smart; they're aiming for CoDs and BFs "console gamerz" audience) If some tardo is spamming server-wide slurs everyone could just disable command channel chat coming from that commander. The certs that offer genuine fight altering ability like an orbital strike should definitely cost 500 though.

I remember a long time ago I was playing Final Fantasy Online (the second one) and I defended the game on the basis that it was a Beta. (it was fixed WAAAAAY later... by practically making it an entirely different game... soo uhh mixed message)

I learned my lesson. Yes you can complain about elements in the Beta and about the Beta itself... but you cannot do so on the basis that it is a beta or anything that is like that because it is a beta.

We do have a right, a responsibility even, to complain BECAUSE it is a beta(or alpha, or whatever you want to call it.) There are problems with the game, and as they add more stuff, there will be even more problems. The only way for them to find out what those are is to test it out and report back your data including both factual information and your own opinion.

When you do complain though, do it in a constructive manner. Be polite, be clear, and most of all, do it where the developers can actually hear you.

[Neonivek]

By all means bug reporting is complaining.

As well yes... many of the gameplay elements they are trying to get right in the Beta they are trying to get right in the beta so Sluissa is right that now is the best and most worthwhile time to complain... before the game is more set in stone.

There's a big difference between "500 certs seems a bit high for command channel access" and swearing and ranting about it and how it and the squad/platoon system doesn't give you free stuff.

Also, I don't think it's high, I think it might be low, because I was around when people were spamming music and annoying voice chat on the empire-wide voice chat (and I disabled it in my config file before they removed it - at least I heard they removed it), and 500 certs is only a couple weeks of playing a different character.

According to what I know about speaking to others... The second part, which you put as the weaker arguement, is in fact that stronger arguement.

"seems a bit high"? What are you trying to say?

Sorry I bugged out on your guys, but I just kept crashing

Did manage to take out a magrider with my Flash, though (from behind, he never knew what hit him). The fury is a bt useless against infantry, though, and flash vs tanks its usually the tank that wins, so I might buyt the AI weapon for it instead.

You didn't read the rest of my post, did you?

So they've further incentivized idling?  Makes sense.

Because more idlers == more players online. Right? "our servers can handle up to 6000 players per continent!!! (but only if 5900 of em are idling)"

[Micro102]

Idlers = people not spending money

None of the other part of what you said was important to what I was trying to say.

I think you need to read the last page and Mechanoids comments to which Shadowlord was relpying (albeit without quote) to get the context.
