Its not worth paying a sub.. if they need to get THIS desperate to get subs the game must be doing worse than anybody thought, or they just are greedier than anybody thought.

And before the idiots come in yes I know they are a business and want money but they SHOULD be attracting people to sub by making it worth while or making the game so fun people WANT to sub to help it. Gimmicks like this so they can get the numbers up for a month to bring into a meeting isn't the way to do it...

I wonder if this has anything to do with Naval Strike coming out... Keep the population up on a weekend where they would be off adventuring for a few days?

I do not care. I am not a member

A good compromise between making money and that fearful pay to win people always complain about in my opinion.

And I just renewed my 1 year subscription, just in time!

I think the sub is a good deal. I was without it for two weeks when they announced they were cancelling the monthly SC reward and for someone who is generally a casual player (once or twice a week) but likes to play hard when I do play I missed the resource and exp bonus quite badly. Every two months I can buy a new toy and the 48 certs per day is a great way to get an alt up to speed reasonably fast.

Like the game?

Support it.

Don't support it? ... Your choice .. but you really don't have a leg to stand on in the complaint dept.

I love how when they do promotions people think it means the game is doing horribly or dying

I think they're just trying new things. A lot of people say "a sub isn't worth it." Well, here is another incentive to sub...

...now that another incentive to sub is added, people are saying "SOE is greedy!" or "The game is dying!" or "Why do people that pay get another added benefit?!?"

And before the idiots come in yes I know they are a business and want money but they SHOULD be attracting people to sub by making it worth while or making the game so fun people WANT to sub to help it.

If not this, what do you think they need to add to make a sub more attractive?

It's a directed, preemptive strike against ESO. That's why it's sub only.

camycamera · 2014-03-22, 03:13 AM

and forumside is like "DURR DIS OBVIOUSLY MEANS THAT SOE ARE GETTING RID OF DOULBE XP FOR EVERYONE ELSE"

/facepalm.

If that's the case, it's as weak as their development of the game has been since launch.

Just watch Maggie, now, she is visibly tired of talking about PS2.

Higby looks like he's under the barrel of a gun during that recent advert.

It's still of a hell of a game and could stage a comeback, but fucked if I'm paying a sub for anything but ESO for the next two years come March 30th; and the incentive to remain subbed post 100 is non-existent. I'm not subbing when the only incentive is to compensate for some BS resource tax. I don't need XP.. Double XP weekends for premium members does nothing..

"Hossin! Soon..." "Flamethrowers! Soon..." "Outfit owned bases! Soon..." "New content! Soon..."
- November 2012 -> March 2014.

Engineers as a class are so underdeveloped compared even to their potential in PS1 it is astonishing, over a year into the game.

Maybe SOE thought Player Studio meant they didn't have to create their own content anymore.

I didn't think maggie looked tired, especially not on the CC, however you're right about Higby. I've been wondering when he'll move on to his next project. (ps this is not a x person should be sacked message, just that people do move on from time to time for very good reasons such as career development).
