Mournblade05143 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 And people wonder why I detest online trophies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashpool23 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wow. And I'm someone who really liked the game. But the servers seemed dead so it's really sad the game never took off. I guess there's no point in going back now. Still...only about 6 months up? That's probably devastating for the developer actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateak Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's understandable that the game just didn't pan out, but pretty crappy of them to give 2 weeks notice on the servers. Also a bad look for Sony. That's at least two games that have been offered on PS plus this year that have already lost online services (this plus Call of Juarez.) FYI, the Call of Juarez "shutdown" hasn't affected the game at all. Even the multiplayer trophies are still achievable. Still wish the PS+ offerings were a little better, though. Yeah, it was only the Uplay service that got shut down. Not the multiplayer servers themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbolivar Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 And this is why I am wary of online-only games, specially low-budget/indie ones. This reminds me I still need to work on Hardware Rivals before they shut that one down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdhight Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) It's pretty near 100% impossible unless you already had just about everything done. Takes over two weeks based on the majority of the plat times, if you're lucky. Yeah, you might be able to clean up some small stuff, but level 50 takes a while. So can waiting for a contract to drop. Over on the official forums, some regulars have asked the community contact guy if they can turn on double XP for the remaining time as a going away present. He's said he'll look into it. So if you just have to gain those last few levels, that would help. EDIT: Triple XP is live for the rest of the game's lifespan; hope that helps somebody! That's fucked, not even half a year up and only two weeks notice for server closer. Won't play a game from these devs again that has online. Yeah. Two weeks' notice is rough on something this grindy. Armature really did not handle the player community well on this game. Edited October 20, 2016 by rdhight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicene Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Not at all surprised, though I really feel for the people who enjoyed the game. I know I liked what I saw of the gameplay and the setting but to be honest I didn't even bother to download it once I read that it was online/multiplayer only - just completely lost interest.

Bullstomp Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Two weeks notice? That sucks! So glad I never started this game . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIOHAZARD-R-US Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yeah, you might be able to clean up some small stuff, but level 50 takes a while. So can waiting for a contract to drop.

So if you just have to gain those last few levels, that would help. That would actually be a very good PR thing to do, especially with the date of termination being so close following the announcement. Hopefully this gets done, as it might generate some extra players playing it till the last day, and maaaaaaybe bring in a little extra revenue they might not've gotten otherwise. Every penny counts, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbdbh Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Last hurrah, guys. I started it, there was nothing to do, and now it's messing up my completion ratio forever. On the last weekend I'll still be able to play it, so I'll make it count. I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked at your trophy list lately. Anyways, back on topic. I find it strange many developers don't even know some of their games have working servers yet these guys complain about the cost of running them. Seems fishy to me.

Lance_87 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) And nothing of great value has been lost. I was skeptical even before the game was released: it was still on Early Access on Steam. Edited October 19, 2016 by Lance_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gage Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Decided to redownload the game because of the 3x xp boost, can't find anyone online at all lol. If they wanted to really get people on for the last two weeks they should have increased xp and drop rates tenfold. 3x on just fame isn't really a lot, especially with how few people are playing meaning you can't even get a game going.

Prarpin has never had an issue with saying exactly what he's thinking. Much respect for that. So wait, have the game's makers confirmed triple XP? I might jump in if so lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gage Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 So wait, have the game's makers confirmed triple XP? I might jump in if so lol Yeah, but have fun trying to actually play the game when there's no one online. Might be better on the weekend, but right now it's dead.

Miketheking75 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 For whoever that keep saying no one playing there was always someone playing all this time. People actually enjoyed it and there were small groups that played over time. Now since it's shutting down more people are own to finish the trophies. Also its best to change the location to all of regions. Also its possible to get to 50 by then if your at 30 but there will be 24/7 grind. I can see a few level each day until shut down. Unless there's s psn maintenance like the one right now when I was playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Concerned" is a stretch, but I try to keep a healthy majority of A ranks. My trophy list lately shows severe signs of house renovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 A shame. The game was good fun if you were in a squad with friends and co-ordinated properly. With silent or unco-operative randoms it didn't hold my interest. Went back to it a while after that initial fortnight or so and the only people online were really high level and well upgraded, so it wasn't as fun to play anymore. A real shame for the devs. Turning off a server is never an easy decision, especially when they will have poured so much care into the game over a long period of time. I hope they can bounce back on their next project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoSama87 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 What a shame. I had a lot of fun and i'm missing only one trophy for the plat, but i guess i can't manage to reach level 50 in only 2 weeks. Aw.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maisy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I enjoyed this game it's first month on PS+. After that numbers were dwindling which made it hard to find different players often [when trying to get away from a group more or less in previous matches.] DLC then ruined the game for me. I wouldn't buy that variety of DLC, but the one's who did made it miserable for others to use the regular ships, so put these two problems together, no amount of time off from game would make Plat possible since I'd always hate playing with the same annoying DLC fully upgraded people. 2 weeks notice is shockingly mean, but truly, they shot themselves in the foot long ago, so it makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that insight, I have decided to just delete this off my download list. Ain't no way in hell I am buying DLC for a game dying in two weeks and it really must suck playing without it based on what you said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theomgkitteh Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) LOL. before the announcement I had 40 out of 48. Now I have 46. Perhaps, if it wasn't for that message, I doubt I'd play this game again. Edited October 20, 2016 by theomgkitteh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
