Proberbly going to invalidate any suggestions when i say that i dont know the ins and outs of raiding. But what would happen, provided it can be coded, if drops from raids are subject to a few restrictions. Unique, None tradeable, None manufacturable and the cherry on the top, they degrade in quallity over time.   If you then make raids activated, the number of nice drops could be offset by drops leaving the game. People can raid their hearts out if desired, get their shiny item and can enjoy it for a certain period of time before they need to raid again to refresh their lost precious.   Later on in the development when expansions with new content, new raids and new storyline comes into play, a reverse engineering quest series maybe to extent the lifespan of previous raid drops ?   Basicly shiny in = shiny out.   But this is just a suggestion to perhaps help resolving the issue from my own limited raid knowledge.

The 'good old days' are gone and should never come back for very good reasons.   Guilds, you gotta love the relic concept.

When your PW (peewee) is calling you, you may want to visit another location first before attempting to log in.

My JE would love it .. well some day when i go projectiles just for fun. The proposed idea surely comes from a cargospace shortage on other explorer classes. But i would support this idea, regardless that i dont have one of the other explorers. It adds content and interaction and thus expands the game on the community level.

Kingdud,   I merely tried to offer a different perspective :-) I am not interrested nor inclined to verse myself in computer technology. I stay my own self old fart working in a wharehouse. I am not interrested in endgame content eihter, nor super duper rare items to trout around as a king. No rush getting to max lvl, eventually i will get there and beyond .. far far beyond.   Give me an orefield and i am happy. Regardless if it is made difficult or not.   What i do care about is to see a lively community around me with plenty of needs and wants. Requests i could perhaps support one way or the other. I wasnt talking for myself earlier but tried to see it from other viewpoints.   If i have strayed inside the boundries of someone elses personall field of expertise then i appologise. I appreciate everything that is done to bring this game back and is being done to keep it back online. Once again i have a great time playing an mmo the way i prefer to play it.

Although i appreciate the invitation to join the development side of the game, i have to pass as i am not equiped with any computer knowledge what so ever. What many are equiped with though is an entertainment meter. They play a game and continue to do so as long as it entertains them. From their lack of technical knowledge, but quite extensive user experience, they voice their love and concerns about the things they encounter from their own perspective.   These communications can often be accompanied by strong positive or negative emotions. It is not adviced to alienate from these communications from a developers perspective but to try and keep your "cool".   The pashion some of the developers display ingame and on the forum makes them very accessable. You can never satisfy everyone and might feel unappreciated by some, but when you take a step back from a situation you might see where it comes from.   Perhaps the problem isnt in the changes themselves, but the communication before they take effect ?   Of course the average player has no idea what is involved in implementing a suggestion. Though the suggestion itself can bring a new viewpoint on the subject. Ultimatly it is the development team that decides what happens and when. We can only hope that constructive suggestions are taken into accaunt. Maybe even see through the emotions in some posts and look at the underlying idea.

Merely a suggestion from an mmo point of view where you shouldnt have to depend only on yourself to progress. It wasnt meant as a boosting/ hand held suggestion, more so a *you are not alone*. As for what the mission was supposed to do, you doing it solo or instigate a multiplayer/character effect, you can really only guess, right ?   But quite frankly, lets just assume that everything you encounter in the game on any level of design is all a work in progress. With constructive feedback and mature communication back and forth the game can be further developed and reach a whole new level of entertainment for everyone involved.   it's absolutely fine to raise a point about something you encounter and most likely also appreciated. Game developers arent Gods.   Sevin spoke of an issue he encountered and rightfully so. Now it is up to everyone involved to get a mature and constructive dialog going and see where it might lead to. We could be amazed about what can be done perhaps.

There might be someone out there mining ores who could help you out with the ores you need. And guess what, that miner might even give them for free. It's nuts right ?

And a longer lifespan  .. .. right ?

Welcome .. .back ? :)

No ! Dont do it ! It is a trap. It draws you in, slowly tightens the embrace.   They are watching you. Their preying eyes lurking in the dark. Waiting for that moment to turn you to the dark side. Your mind will slowly erode to a state of utter enjoyment.   Once you are in, you cant get out. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.   I have to get out ! Please oh please let me out, i still remember Zion. Yes i really do!   Let me OUT!     oh look, an asteroid .. .i .. must .. mine .. ..

mwahahahahaha, superb.

If you discover something that, in your assumption or factuall knowledge, should not be possible to do or be located in the game, the correct procedure would be to contact a senior game developer as stated per rule number 10 listed in the Rules of the game section above.   It can prevent emotional situations like this and solve any possible issues in a mature manner rather then create agrivations among fellow players.

Roid guards are no problem for my JE of course. Personally i find them interresting to *outwit* to get to the ores. I am not interrested in their loot nor in the xp i would get from killing them.   For a PS or terran equivalent they proberbly are more of a hassle naturally. Though eventhough i dont know eihter class i assume they to have some skill to *outwit* mobs with no ?   And if they do, outwitting mobs without fighting them is, in my book, a relaxed activity too. So from my limited point of view, these roid guards to battle the anti gaming bot culture has my blessing untill something better comes along.   Maybe time stamps on chatchannels so you can screenshot your attempts to contact suspected botters, so that it displays the frequency and timelaps of the contact attempts ? Those screenshots can then be send to a GM or other correctional authorthy who then has a reasonable source of information on said suspect entity ?

Oke, just to clarify. They could have gotten award every year since sunset if it were up to me.

Aaaactuallym EA is a pretty good company. The things they did in the past made it possible for us to have the enjoyment we have today.   So yeah, EA keep up the good work and with people as dedicated as the devs we have in the new enb, future gamers will have a great time.

Thank you for the replies. I just got home from work.   I do indeed allready have several storage characters for the ores i mine. I dont refine them and when a request comes along in market channel or so, i can then support. Over time i will gather  sufficient information to set up various ore packs then that can help out others in the game and save them some time.   The offered suggestions i will not discard and look in to it. Thank you again.

As the topic implies, i like to mine. More so then anything else. The reason can be the same as for any other miner out there perhaps. I concider it me personall "endgame".   Though i would like my mining to be functional and incorporate some goals within the profession in the form of Ore packs. Now  information on ore packs for ammo and module/gear builds are obtainable via the database.   There are however missions  or even the mighty agrippa series that require ore. My question is, is there a way to find out the compleet ore requirements for all sorts of missions including the compleet agrippa lines somewhere to be found ?   It is a service i like to provide with my mining.        

The REALL free to play concept is hard to grasp for some people.   Be thankfull for what is given, support what is done and be mature when things dont work correctly at times.

If you think that a particular encounter or aquisition of property is concidered endgame, then your imagination  and creativity are very limited.

Yes ! managed to secure a decent amounth of debris from hulks. My rise within the Bogeril nation knows no limit now. I shall be a prince parading the scrapheap.

Eventhough i can understand the desire to mine out a field just for the sake of mining to relax, i also understand that there are people who look for specific orelevels or types. The thing is, both can do their mining whenever, where ever. These fields respawn pretty fast and a little less clearing bonus isnt a big issue. Not to meantion that there are LOTS of fields out there.   Aslong as the activity isnt "automated" it shouldnt be a big issue.        

Keep up the good work, you're doing great.
