An open letter to MattScott and Lixil

Recommended Posts

Yeah I logged in yesterday. Essentially the entire game was a ghost town for a few hours with populations Jericho server in the single digits.

 

After that period of time things picked up, but it was still pathetic numbers. Some definitely hacking, others attempting to play legit. But of course it wasn't as though legit players really stood a chance.

 

This game has tanked worse under your management compared to the prior ownership, and it shows by your poor moderation to combat the cheating. Easily there can be a GM sitting in, and watching the district with how the population was. That action alone would generate good faith in players who are veterans to this game and have invested in its future in the past.

 

In its current state, I would vomit from the idea of giving any of my money to its development while a blind eye is being turned to its long lived primary problem. Fix it, or you have simply made a hollow investment to contribute to its death.

 

No matter how much you throw glitter on the game, it'll still be fecal matter with the lack of attention you're actually giving it. Instead of pandering to what's left of the games players with extra game modes, acknowledge a problem and admit that it's something that needs to be dealt with.

 

This probable came off as harsh, but it's out of appreciation for something that I have made lifelong friends and memories on while playing. To see it sink in the way that it has is heartbreaking.

Remember when we were all grateful that someone came along to at least try to save this dead as fuck, never been popular, niche game that hadn't done anything but lose money for years?

 

...good times

Actually the nicer thing to do is simply not say anything. You're only reinforcing negativity, and add to the destruction of the game by being a toxic clown on the forums.

 

Essentially your existence on this thread and forums is pointless, if that's your only purpose for being here.

Bruh, your post is one long fuzzy bunny fest. 

 

Negativity indeed.

Length of a post doesn't diminish the value of the actual message and intention behind it. 

 

If you need to gaslight something, go to Facebook. Unless you're afraid of risking anonymity, there is no reason for you not to exhibit your negative personality traits elsewhere.

That's the responsibility to the customer to reach the ears of those ignoring them in any means necessary. To put change towards a problem that is currently adding to the degradation of this game.

 

Perhaps you're complicit in being part of the problem. But some people aren't.

i’m unsure how anyone thinks orbit is somehow unaware of the problems with the game, they’re here to make money and they very clearly aren’t making money - that’s a pretty big red flag for any business

I don't think that they are unaware. I think they're very aware, and ignoring the problem with throwing out events that will yield poor results.

why would they ignore a problem that’s costing them money literally every single day?

 

your perception of how orbit operates seems off, they’re a business that’s attempting to turn apb into a profitable venture - there’s no insidious plan to kill the game, they gain nothing by intentionally angering the playerbase, and the CM isn’t missing out on coding the engine upgrade when she hosts events 

 

the company is actively working on the means to fix many of the problems and they’ve been pretty vocal about how they’re doing so, people spamming “hurry up” isn’t going to change much

People DDOSing the servers until the game is unplayable is fairly insidious.

 

In addition I agree that they are trying to make a profit. Which is why they released additional joker boxes, and unbanned accounts.

 

My view is to remain critical of how they conduct themselves, which is coming across no different than the prior ownership thus far. LadyTiggs often remained vocal, and that was a bandage on a perpetually leaking wound.

are you implying little orbit is ddosing their own services?

even if all 500 people still playing bout $100 of joker boxes it still wouldn’t even be enough to pay a single dev

 

giving people back accounts that already own everything they wanted to buy doesn’t seem like the best way to garner sales either

i feel there’s a big difference between a CM announcing sales and a CEO posting updates and answering questions from the community at all hours

You didn't specify who had the insidious plans. You simple said that "No one had insidious plans to kill the game". Which is not factual, otherwise there wouldn't be hackers creating unstable servers.

 

The CM takes orders from the CEO. With how small the LO team seems to be, I wouldn't doubt if there's a direct line of communication between the two. Besides simply announcing things, it's a representatives job to stay aware of the frustrations in the community.

 

You simply highlighted the flaws I am trying to point out in a simpler way, thank you for that assistance.

I'm just holding them to the fact that they have promised they're not like their predecessors.

Don't acknowledge him or encourage his childish behavior. As an SPCT, he's supposed to be conducting himself differently. Or at the very least showing a better example.

Are you not native english speaking? I would hate to cast judgement on you due to your poor spelling.

Nowadays having a positive attitude will get you an angery rant and accused directly of 'hurting the game' for "not calling them out"/"holding them responsible". This community is wild. People need to stop acting like entitled, whiny children

Nothing wrong with having a positive attitude. It should be encouraged to be both positive about a games future and to have a willingness to inform change where you can.
