How about concentrating on making the game more awesome, and thus attracting more players? This way you don't need to raise the percentage of players who pay, and can concentrate on actually IMPROVING the game. In the last few patches there was not a single major change that did not concentrate on making more players spend money for the game. And you are doing it that obviously, in fact I think you should be ashamed of yourself. Really. And, just to tell you my opinion, I think you already crossed the line where many people - not only those notoriously bad tempered and "against it"-by default character - will think: "You want me so badly to pay for the game? You know what? You are trying it so obviously and so pushy - I say no! As a matter of principle!". Honestly, you overstated the case! Just my two cents.

yay. Jetpacks. Something you said you were going to try and implement back like in July 2010 when you were doing the special auctions in the auction house.

Anyways, any news on this stuff?

The drone one is a big deal.

So is decoy/sealed systems, unless these two were intended in which case it would be nice to know why in the world you would nerf two of the most unused offhands in the game.

Also, I still don't see any mention about the roulette sound at the end mission screen where it keeps going and going and going and going even after you've received the item.

Re: Patch Notes: June 3, 2011 - VERSION 1.43

Nothing against the great Hi-Rez studios but I must say that I have expected a little bit more with the next patch like fixxing the stuck in the floor bug or maybe something more usefull thing like a meele weapon change maybe a come back of the personal vandal in the desert zone viewtopic.php?f=147&t=34191 :/ anyway I will keep tracking your progress guys maybe that are just the first steps of the free to play gameplay in order to get enough resources to continue this great game.

I wish you a nice day.

Im definately going to be more entertained by flying around Dome City
instead of running in circles like a caged retard while waiting for the long ass
merc queue to choose me. Its not a big patch, and it may suck for people
who cant pay for boosters, but I still like it.

I only hope they nerfed poison severly without mentioning it in the patch notes. In its current state its ridiculous.

And yes, all the last changes show only greed (in the eyes of a player).

I have booster, and I will be able to fly around, but I feel bad about at, as other people won't be able to do so.

I know Hi-Rez wants to earn money, and that's perfectly okay, but in my eyes it's doing it the wrong way.

Currently Hi-Rez is poking the last few players who are left like "Come on! Give us your money! If you give us money we won't prevent you any more of such cool things like mail system, flying around in dome city or actually getting the CJP we showed to you, but you will never recieve it as you were not elite/booster agent at that moment."

How about concentrating on making the game more awesome, and thus attracting more players? This way you don't need to raise the percentage of players who pay, and can concentrate on actually IMPROVING the game.

In the last few patches there was not a single major change that did not concentrate on making more players spend money for the game. And you are doing it that obviously, in fact I think you should be ashamed of yourself. Really.

And, just to tell you my opinion, I think you already crossed the line where many people - not only those notoriously bad tempered and "against it"-by default character - will think: "You want me so badly to pay for the game? You know what? You are trying it so obviously and so pushy - I say no! As a matter of principle!".

Honestly, you overstated the case!

Just my two cents.
