23 hours ago, Dread Lord Naf said:Havent played Fallen earth in like 5+ years. Was easily the fav MMO of both my wife and I and I was probably sadder to leave it than any other MMO, but there was just too many issues. I didnt know about the new company buying it until just today when out of curiosity I checked the Steam page for it to see how it was doing.
I think there is a lot of people out there like me who aren't active here on these forums but really loved the game and would comeback if some serious effort were to reboot and/or fix the game. It was one-of-a-kind MMO and I look forward to see what the future holds for it. As to what everyone is arguing about above on wiping or not, I could care less. FE was the only real complete post-apocalyptic MMO that ever really had any success and it had such a cool atmosphere, setting, and environment. I would love to play it again from the beginning on a new engine with a revamped game structure, balance tweaks and fixes etc.
The ideal would have been for the game to have a Re - start from zero to a certain low level (let 's say we can level the level up to 30), with a couple of maps.
While all these accounts could move them to the new server and so we would have as an "incentive" that would move the current population that does not touch the game, attracting people and giving publicity. While the current state of the game is painful, there are infinite duplicate objects and many bugs, it does not help that people come and try the game, given that 95% do not stay and will not try again.
While I would be careful in premium objects like "name change" or "all slots" that tend to be duplicated, giving the only possibility of getting them through direct purchase and given by a gm in game (since there are so many gms), if well with the money theme, I would make a cut to a yellow as a stop (since if there are only 30 levels, it did not make sense to have more).
In short, do something different.

I know, I have been in Game over since always, and it is a clan that was totally dedicated to pve and social after the exit of electrolux, although here I have recruited people and taught to do pvp (to those who wanted to experience something different).
I've done my pve videos, but honestly, the pvp attracted me because of its faction social role, it was very funny how the faction moved the game in the past (I mean before you gores). While I think, if I started playing fallen earth right now, it would not be the same, given that this factor has been lost and the game itself has no "spicy" factions, therefore I would not have tried with the pvp.

On 1/24/2019 at 11:21 AM, Viscera said:You clearly don't understand what i was saying , But yes i know that you have mentioned before that you are lacking in english a lot, (Btw, If you copy-paste everything what i type on google translate, it doesn't translate everything properly)How would muting players be worthless?, It's definitly a better solution then kicking players from the faction as you mentioned before. Also another important thing about GMs, i have been playing FE lately now, i can tell you that the GMs in 2019 are doing a far better job then we all have expected compared to the old ones, I can see them online almost everday and they are helping players regularly now, also i heard they are active in events aswell, which is a good thing!2. is discriminatory?!, Whaaaat... (Explain pls)
3. Weren't we discussing about the FACTIONS, when did we talk about clans?!Not every player is in a clan.
thanks for your interest in my google translator, but I think it works perfectly for now. However the abuse of colors or troll style images does not help at all to good communication.
I remain in what I have explained and although the same I look at it from a social perspective in order to return "to the good times of 2011 or 2012".
About the new gms I do not have any problems that do or not their work, l although I have only recently started a conversation with one and has not given me solutions about a problem I have had.
While I'm still saying that the field and the work that a faction leader does in the game is to attract people, create a role, stability. A GM only puts order and help in things related to the operation of the game and not the game itself, or so should be given its neutrality. They are completely different concepts.
what really has moved this game has been the big clans with social scope, something that currently lacks the game and there, at that point, is the "key"

8 hours ago, Viscera said:That's sounds like a ridiculous suggestion to me, because of the current state. But i like the Faction leader concept, everything else you just mentioned seems pointless. When there is a cheater ingame, it's not the Faction leader's job to kick the player out of the faction(What's the benefit?), The player should be removed immediately from the game by the GMs or if there aren't any online report it to LO support. These are the only few things the faction leader could probably do:
1. Temporary mute (atleast for 5 min) players who are misbehaving in faction chat, if they keep going after they were muted. it should be reported. (Kicking makes no sense, players could change the name and join the same faction again or do have more toons on the same faction)
2. When a player becomes a Faction leader, The leader will have access to buff/auras which could benefit in pvp and crafting on a team with the players from the same faction. (Only in "open world" and not in Bloodsports.)
3. Allied Faction leaders chat channel: Where the faction leader can communicate with other faction leader's who are allied to the faction. Examples : for arranging stuff, request reinforcements etc.
I think you misunderstand the concept in which my idea is aimed, that's why I asked nysek opinion. My idea goes in the sense of sociability, which has lost the game and what made it a super addictive game. I refer to past times where there were great clans and although the simple belonging to a faction "was worth something, giving you a role" and the troll to your faction gave you KOS, for me it is the strongest point of the game. In my point of view, your point 1 (mute) is worthless, your point 2 would be discriminatory and your point 3 could not be made since there are clans that do not pvp or do not pve.
My suggestion that the faction leader can "control it from beginning to end" is given by the experience that there are cheaters who move when they are discovered and if there were 6 people responsible as leader of each faction, problems like "players banned that return "and several problems such as cheats / dupes, since every faction player would have a reference and a role within it, making a more honest community in general. The problem in all this would be, who to choose? but this happens now with the gms. The difference is that a GM does not play (or that's what you can believe) and a faction leader does.
It is clear that a field player and in permanent contact with his community does a thousand times more help than a GM

On 1/19/2019 at 12:26 AM, Reaps989 said:Well... truth be told I can't think of an anti-cheat that would watch for this. Since it's not an actual error, besides L&F methods... but it could at least track it better.
better to have something that does not have anything in my opinion, I do not think it is so difficult to catch the aimbots, triggerbot or speddhacks for a good antitracking program. I say that at some point the program will catch them.

Bloodsports : Remove Assault, Remove Deathmatch, Remove Survival. Add team deathmatch, then simply lower requirements to start a match to 4 players rather than 5. This will stop team-stacking.
As for promoting training for players... simply add raids for factions which have two difficulties. One easy as fuck, the other with stronger NPCs where players might need to focus specific NPCs or crossheal properly to survive.
This way you add a repeatable method to earn faction, besides simply killing NPCs, still earn faction/xp but can add a proper payout as well. Then of course it also adds at least something to group play besides Citadel.about faction leader I think it's one thing that would help control everything, you know what I mean, you know well that there are people who use different characters in different factions and that for pvp is not good at all and if well this could put the cheats in a "no faction" being this a punishment enough to be able to expel those people from the game. The faction leaders could control the chat corresponding to their faction and expel from the faction. I think this would make a social role that would trap the player and fit him in his faction and give a reason to his belonging, being more than a game a way of life making it more addictive.
What do you think about it?

15 hours ago, Reaps989 said:The Q&A with Matt Scott and myself explained it...
They will most likely have a secondary "legacy" server with older data and a newer server, the older server would simply be there for those who want to keep said characters/items, but most likely not be as focused as the new one in terms of performance... after all it's littered with duped items.mostly the duplicate objects as you say and the total absence of anticheat. Apart the game is already too chewed
-
15 hours ago, Reaps989 said:Well ya there's that option as well, but you'd still need it to change your character's "scale" of height. Even then, it should be possible for male/female characters to simply be cosmetic rather than anything involving game mechanics.
if the game is re-launched, why does not the height aspect remain the same for everyone? although in fallout 76 as in other morpgs only the thin / athletic / fat weight is modified.
I want to add a couple of other suggestions:
1- Add bots in "blood Sports" in all its levels, although in 2011 it was always active in all its levels, now nobody plays. This would add more gameplay to the game, being the bots not very difficult to kill could train the new players.
2- Faction leader: This is an idea that I have said several times, although this person could be like a moderator of the chat " Faction "and could regulate the asset in each faction (being able to throw from the faction to possible cheaters or very toxic people), making the game more correct, protected and addictive, given the belonging to each faction, making this the most important value and a social role

I apologize for spelling your name Wrong, I don't know what was going through my mind and why I typed / spelled your name the way I did...
Heck this time I had to re-look at it 3 times just to make sure I was typing it right.. So My bad, and I apologize again..
I suggest Spanish classes ;D
9 hours ago, PraiseTheSun said:Maybe just let it be and give them a chance?
I think Matt has a short term plan.fix the code, transfer the code to a new server and blabla. So, I guess making that work and check out his possibilities with the new engine and such is what he wants to do first before telling us what he wants to do exactly. I can't imagine he'd start a project (fixing FE) withiut a global idea what he wants it to look like.
We're in the phase that we just need to wait. But I do totally agree that I'd be nice to have a few of his ideas or suggestions what he think would be good for FE. Just so that we know how the future can look like.. I think a lot of old players are waiting the first updates and changes before installing FE.
No one knows where this is going, the only thing we know is where this has gone ... mistakes must be learned and not make the same mistakes of the past.
I doubt your words, many veterans have moved to other games and will no longer return, and if there are people who will no longer have time for video games since time has passed.
I do not see how to give an opportunity to certain people, I doubt it, because if these people have been trolling, using traps or they know they are friends of these, they would not be a viable option at all, it is more, as I have said if the game took an anticheat these people could go through the defense door of the game.
Honestly, this movement of LO to maintain the anonymity of these people has frustrated me ENORMOUSLY. Honestly I did not expect it.
2 hours ago, StubbyClaps said:Some of these people were already given chances such as being on the decon team. Not alot agreed with what they were doing then, let alone these people being full blown gms.
If you are talking about Nysek, I see the best GM option. I honestly would not mind, given his high knowledge of the game, his mechanics and I know he is a professional person

5 hours ago, KDRefugee said:Auroa..
The NDA is Non-Disclosure Agreement
Which most places have people sign in which what they Might see/hear/read that they can not go around talking about.
So in other words, or an example Supposedly if the GM's have notes and say's Watch player X possible speed hack or X for Aim botting...
Knowing that, The GM's whom all have signed the NDA are not allowed to say anything to anyone Except other GM's, about it, like warn the person they are being watched
and or alert the person(s) who could be under investigation.
Even if the GM's hear or are given a briefing on what's coming up event, or whatever, they are not supposed to disclose any information to anyone else told to do so by the Senior
GM or the GM Supervisors..
Also..
You mentioned you are or have English as a 2nd language. Well you still could of Applied just to say, because knowing English is Great, but if per say you are Spanish, Brazilian, German or some other
language as your Natural Tongue actually can bean asset actually because if they took English Only and no one has a 2nd Language, moderating the chat can get pretty hard if know one
about can read German per say, and therefore how can you moderate the chat, having people who as I stated Have a Different 1st Language not of English, is actually an asset.
Since then you can moderate the chat If people are or start to talk in Your Native Language.
So, just because you say your not good in English, don't let that stop you if you do have a 2 or 3 other languages you can read/write or understand, thats a Bonus..
I understand that of the non-disclosure agreement, but it makes sense not to disclose information about the game, the possible bugs, the mechanics of the game, future updates ... but ... that has to do with not revealing the origin of the gms and their trajectory in the game? I think it has nothing to do.
I doubt very much that if a gm reveals what characters he has used it is a reason not to be, it is more, to reveal that he has been a player who has helped the game and knows his system gives more points of confidence and tranquility towards the community.
That of hiding who is who, only leads to distrust with the community. You do not have to be very smart to know that the player who is gm will play the game, and experience tells me that he will play at being a god, reporting at his whim for no reason and banning people he does not like. So, we have more of the same again, and more than what has led this game to its current state of decline.
honestly, I believed that LO was a brave, transparent and communicative company with its community, although this "secrecy" on such important issues that do not link at all to the game itself, make me think otherwise.
In my case, I have not considered helping the game in that area, because if I did it would mean that I would not play the game even if there was the possibility of creating another account. Besides, it is very difficult to convince the Hispanic community in a game entirely in English, when today, Spanish is the second or third most spoken language in the world and there are games that do not have a translation into this language.

2 hours ago, Bupkis said:There's no argument here. The new GMs have to remain anonymous because that's how GM'ing works in all other MMORPGs. (to my knowledge.) The staff explained the reason for it. It is not subject to change.
we only express our opinion on this issue, obviously it is company LO who then makes the decisions. But while these types of decisions are not very different from how the old company acted.
Honestly, if people are so well selected and professional, I do not understand why this attitude of anonymity and hiding names.
It seems as if LO wanted to hide something, when surely the reality is the opposite.

3 minutes ago, Kishoot said:Hmm... And what about the flip side? How do i know your GM will be neutral with me while i have a bus of sneaky haters behind me?
Should i close my eyes, trust your selection, invest time and money if maybe i have a sword of Damocles above the head?
I'm not sure... Or at least you have to lay the game of the year.
Seriously that's suck, i rarely agree with aroa but yes some transparency please.
We think the same, we are interconnected, I knew it !! ; D

1 hour ago, BrightNightLight said:GM accounts cannot play the game.
Whoever is selected won't instantly become a GM, there is a further screening process and ultimately an interview.
Be that as it may, GM identities will not be revealed. That is final and not subjected to change.
the gm account can not play the game, but that player can create another account and play the game and even pvp, obviously taking advantages. I do not know if this is something you are going to control or not.
you say that the selection process is long and rigorous, but from my point of view you will have to kiss many frogs until you find the prince blue ...
Fortunately, I did not send an application to be a GM, since I see that it is a very important position and it is not only to control the game community but to try to expand the number of people who play it. Because if I were, the first thing I would do is say that GM work without hiding and gain the trust of the entire community with my actions. IF this NDA is a bureaucratic thing I understand, but hiding is not how you earn the respect of the community, from my point of view.
What happens when the GM is just a player and is friends with the cheaters.

11 hours ago, Guinylen said:That question was directed at Aroa.
but anyway it's highly unprobable to announce the chosen ones, since there are things like NDA put in place.
My answer is that from my point of view I like to show transparency and I would not mind saying that I am gm.
I have never hidden and I do not need to do it, I am who I am, with my qualities and my failures. I am one of those brave people who assume all their actions for good or for bad.
While I do not understand that of the "NDA" of hiding identities of the moderators of the game who have played the game all these years, although I can understand it for aspects of the game such as Bugs or things that could spoil it or to get information about the game or accounts or personal data.
The question I ask Ritual: Will the "new GM" be allowed to do pvp? if so, we have again the influence "external" again and the "NO NEUTRALITY" and more seeing that this game does not have a very basic thing called "Anticheat" and if it has it will be handled by certain people who have been able to access this position GM to continue what they were doing with total impunity, that's what the "chosen names" are about and to know at least "if any of them have been previously banned by" cheating "
While I know that Lixil is the boss who is the head of this team and I fully trust that She will control them, but even if these "false gm" could access reserved information of the anticheat to surpass it.
-
10 hours ago, StubbyClaps said:Can we get an announcement for who was picked?
I am totally agree with you.
It would be good if the game gave transparency in this aspect showing who the current gm are from the game.
The game should not hide this data, here we are not to judge anyone, just to play
-
Sincerely and seeing the state in an "objective" way, it can be said that the population (veteran or not) is insignificant. That said, LO does not have to satisfy 20 people who play the game if they are going to make a new game with the tools of an old game (although it seems to me a lot that they keep the purchases legitimately made in marketplace).
While there are people who have thousands of objects or if they have objects given by other players who do not play or things that can not be achieved, given that they were specific events on a date ... to all of them I say that the stage of the old company G1 is over. I would like the game to be like in 2012 until 2014, an addictive and fun game, and I trust that the new company makes enough merits to make it that way.
Those who follow the forum crying for the "oh great loss", do nothing but harm the game and the company.

15 hours ago, Mutarenebula said:When I was in the Hazmat team, our "job" was to babysit help channel and answer basic questions. To free the GM to do support and other actions. Hazmats had no power to do anything. Over time the GM presence was gone and only the Hazmat staff was left in game babysitting for free. What are the jobs of these new "GMS" are they going to be glorified Hazmats with no power to do anything. Will their presence in game be stable? Is this a paid position or is this a volunteer position? I left Hazmat team in 2014 because there was no back up from any GM and I was not getting paid to babysit an entire game. SO I question what exactly is the program you are setting up , what are the parameters and guidelines you wish folks to work in? The only thing I saw was "teamwork" which is well and all, but usually a Hazmat or a GM is alone dealing with the issue in game, not with a team making a group decisions. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Mutare
Being gm or hazmat carries a lot of responsibility and as has been seen in the past people have abused it. Some people who have been hazmat or gm liked to "warm up" the discussion and then send reports to try to ban players.
- the worst of which is the reason (harashment) and the period of this restriction (automatically permanent without going through previous periods).
this has been done in past............ nothing more to say

12 hours ago, Drake Dragoon said:OK so most of these suggestions have been said already, but I am going to make a list like Santa - but you can check it twice.
Obviously there are plenty of other issues and bugs with missions and pvp, but these are just the ideas that are most important to me at the moment, and a ton of players in the Global chat.
*I left out a lot of the bigger code intensive requests because most of those issues should be resolved in the new game engine.
1. Stack Splitting - since the fix for stack splitting is a big task, why not have a temporary work around until then? Simply make all non-sellable items now have a merchant value of at least 1 chip. Now all items can be exchanged via merchants and all stacks can be split using this workaround method.
2. Hit Boxes - The only good toon in this game is the smallest female toon you can create. But since that isn't explained to new users, they spend weeks leveling a huge male toon, only to discover they wasted their time and must start all over with a new tiny female toon. This is a big problem. I suggest the hit boxes be 1 size fits all OR give more defense to bigger hit boxes.
3. Auction Chat - at the moment it appears Auction Chat is only regional and that means I can't trade with lower level players that aren't in my current region. It makes no sense at all. But using Global for auction chat gets you scalded by a GM, so... the only thing to do is travel to each region spamming auction chat all over the game using the regional auction chat option. Not good.
4. Splash Screens - something as simple as swapping out an image should be done overnight and it's one of the first things that should have been done. Why? because it immediately sends a message to everyone logging in that L.O. is making changes, it can be used to advertise or update players on the game state, and can be used to identify current events - like xmas and halloween. 'A picture says a thousand words' and updates players without forcing them into the forum to find out what is happening. I suggest stamping it with a new L.O. logo.
5. Items - Unattune Kit (untradable) in the marketplace is the #1 new item idea that players instantly claim they will buy (at $5 each). Need I say more?
- L.O. T-Shirt to be redeemed through the marketplace, with a code given to all active accounts. Nothing like free advertising, and a T-Shirt is the most basic of items you can add.
6. Social Media - you need a newly updated Facebook (if you don't already) and some reason to get players to go there, like a free item or monthly premium award. (Twitter is currently semi-active, good start)
UPDATED with Guiny additions - more ideas please
Your point are good, but you missed the most important ones:
1- Game need Anticheat ( its main reason players left to play, as i know)
2- Game need be rebuild , being more faction oriented ( as original intention game is designed)
3- Game need quit or rebuild some bad things done ( ap inyector, life harversters, free dyes.... really game changed and its not a " challenge" actually)
4- Some rewards are incompleted or are simply bad ( not fun make a level 25 mision and aget a reward of level 5 weapon or just useless number of chips, is really frustating for new players)
5- weapons, equip at level 55 is simple. the best weapons/ equip is so limited, making a choice of 3 armor or 3 weapon when game have 100 items or more in that level than is useless. (seriusly game is capable to put similar stats in all equip same level? )
6 in coincidence with your put 6, i will say about best form of promoting a game is the " reviews" or experience others players have. In this part game is going so bad, since old company have " the biggest one review in almost all games had".
Steam is a platform where is a big activity of players and exist another steam platform are not called steam where game can be launched. said this i not see so much " movement in steam forum" or any other same place. Twitter is the biggest one, but is more dificult to move people to play.
From my point of view, the most easy way to make a " big population" is make an anouncement in all platform but " ofering something new, something fresh, something where player is necesary to make a new start project and where the player is the center of all".
Ofering more of the same, will make game being more of the same, so being a nobody playing game

The work done by litle orbit is fabulous given how bad the game was in terms of libraries, codes and tools.
Well, I do not want to be the only person who writes the criticism and not applause to any news, I say this because for years the game gradually goes to its demise.
The clients / players look for an attractive game and with essence to play, fallen earth had it in 2011 and 2012, just before the patch of gores was released. (although there are many videos that show how blood sports was relevant at all levels and not only at level 55, that denotes great activity and good way).
In my opinion from that patch the game has gone like crabs, walking backwards.
While I will not expose the failures that have been in the past in my opinion, but all of them have been for an extreme lack of communication between the community and its developers, which is now the opposite since as I said Infinite times, litle orbit is a professional company. Matt, could you advance us an idea that we will see in a future in the game, what you have thought to change, how to develop it.
I have some questions that I would like to know:
- The game will have changes in the number of factions? Fewer features maybe? (I think I've seen some post about it)
- the game to be updated can remove the lag completely? Will the game finally dispose of anticheat with the new beginning?
- The game to be launched will have two or three maps to start or will it be relaunched with all the current maps?
- Will the game remodel weapons and equipment by putting all weapons of the same level with the same or similar characteristics? (currently at level 55 the option is totally linear and there is no diversity)
- Will the game change the rewards of the missions? currently doing level 20 missions give equipment or things level 5 or 10? (this is a thing that has been talked about for years)
- will the pvp-oriented special aura of the district return to animate the pvp?
I have many more questions, but I will not write a book / post, although I know that the duplicate bug is on the radar and will be solved. However I have ideas that could work, such as having a leader in each faction that promoted the pvp, the pve and the social aspect, being able to prevent a player from having players in several factions, creating frustaccion. it's a suggestion. Many thanks in advance and happy new year, I continue to see the advances in twitter!

To Ritual:
I believe that in this game there is incompatibility of being gm and doing pvp, since it avocates to non-neutrality.
My impression is that a GM should "help all the players and they should not have any color". The rest that you explain about the gradual punishments and about everything else i see correct, I share your opinion fully.
although the experience in the game is very important in my opinion, since for example the game was not the same in 2011 or 2012 as in 2014 to the present. only, who has played in 2011 or 2012 has seen the great diversity of clans, active blood sports at all levels, pvp at all times and massive pve events. (I say this for the criterion of understanding the game)

I am waiting for that " update" mattscott and new company will do with new graphics, new server, with new things, no lag , with anticheat and all being new fresh start.

On 12/26/2018 at 2:24 PM, Hella Ella said:I applied via PM- am I not 'correct'? Define correct.
Aroa, you make all of these daring claims and statements, and then wonder why you get backlash. Maybe think about what you say before you say it.
I've started playing in 2011 and I've seen many things that were not correct, one of which has happened was to have gms in clans and specific factions that produced a huge frustration in the pvp world.
The opinion I have put before, is that I ask "ritual" to choose someone "normal" that has clear words that mean honesty, neutrality and good work, since I do not want to have to record my game 24 hours and then send tickets to mattscott telling him he has a corrupt gm on his team. simply an opinion that I think nobody can disagree
If you disagree with me asking for this, maybe you have a problem

Image is cool, words are cool, the sea is cool....... But we have a date for " restart to playing" ?
I think we all are waiting some issues as " stack splitting " or "lag" resolved as same new fresh start, but we need a date more or less this will happen.
Maybe midle 2019?, end 2019? 2020?

State of the Game: Fallen Earth 12/31/2018
in General Discussion Archive
Posted · Edited by Aroa Croft
If you have played in the past, you know very well that something does not work, doing nothing will not help it to improve.
I already did the social experiment, promoting people looking for "an apocalyptic morpg" and according to them they have seen the orthopedic movements, the lag, the total lack of roots that the game can generate and their difficulty to understand it have gone away, uninstalling it, saying clearly what a garbage, The current state does not help, and will not improve greatly with a "remodeling of graphics", the game needs more than all that.
When I go to buy apples at a store I try them and if I do not like them I do not go back to the store to try.
Let's collide with reality and change something, the steamcharts are for something more than to hide them.
