Since I played since 9/22/2017, I realize that the game has been more fluid and more fun, but with the changes getting lost, the Cortez brothers must be stronger and harder, especially when it is against the antagonists and the leader must give orders to the brothers to be fairer, the MMR must be replaced by the modes (easy, normal and hard) as it was in the beginning, I still find new players who give up because it is difficult and thus it will be harder to find more games and mercurysteam losing more customers. There are still missions that need updating, such as The Breath of Hope, the beast's lair, the weapon of the past and the earring of a thread, where it easily fills with enemies and reaches the point where it is impossible to kill them. with the latest update took the fun out of booting aleph from the elites :/ I love this game and it has so much potential, but unfortunately it is far from reaching the next level, in my opinion one of the easiest ways is to put it on Epic Games. I'm disappointed with mercurysteam, I always have good ideas since the game was released and I'm not the only one and it doesn't seem to matter to them, I realize that they pay more attention to streamers, it's a shame and then I see that, Sometimes they prefer to hire specialists instead of looking more at the community, even in games we have good examples like R6, Overwatch, Paladins, which these have an excellent success. I am always defending Mercurysteam, we need more players and then comes more campaigns. I get upset when I see comments like "I want everything free" and go there and answer that the company needs to make money, I also invest money and hours in the game and what I get from mercurysteam? Silence

Yes, this topic again
Game seriosly needs voice/text chat, not this orders thingy
Whatching some -/6 not knowing, that he has to press F to extact, running around like headless fly and dying over and over again for more than a minute is horrendous experience

Thank you for expressing your thoughts on the monthly rewards, we're currently working on making them cooler and more challenging.

For the first time, the weapon Skins are available as monthly rewards in adventure mode

All this time and we're still earning a pitiful amount of faction points. It's like suggestions always go on deaf ears.

Spent another 100k faction points I had saved up trying to get rare mercy card for iune and ofc didn't get it. This is going to take forever to regain that amount of talent points.

Each map was altered to compensate for the new changes to allow things to flow more smoothly. In the mean time just give it a week and just try it out.

So they used up time and resources to modify maps for new aleph (something no one wanted) instead of just making new maps (something everyone wanted)?

So I made a post awhile back, The post was of a raider concept that I made up that I feel would be a great addition to the game (With help from others with weapon ideas and art).

The reason I bring this up is because I just thought of something. Spacelords is a growing game and with that more people join the forums. Does MSE read everything that is posted? I have made a few post were MSE_Ojuel comments (bless him <3) but only on the ones about gameplay compliments or questions about certain things. MSE_Karen (I believe is her name on here) has also been found on the forums as well. Just a general curiosity because I think it would be super cool if it turned out they do check the forums daily, even if it is for only a few minutes.

Giving an Antagonist the same rewards as a Raider is a bit of a joke don't you think MSE?
It's 1 versus 4 in reality and the only time the game evens out is when Elite heavies get aleph and either bomb the area or get a shield and grab the raiders.

You should at least have triple the gold, xp and faction award. Even better, if a raider/s are playing for first pot/s of the day you should be getting a large percentage of that, at least 75% of total winnings. And if there happened to be blueprints: common/advanced and rare then they should be yours as well.

No one, in their right mind is going to play as an Antagonist on their pot and dailies.

I'm afraid I don't get your point of view here. Why is it you feel antagonists have less incentive to play than Raiders when they get similar rewards for the same amount of playing time?

Game difficulty for Antagonist is FAR higher than a raider. 1 human + AI does not equal 4 humans. As stated Elites only become a threat with aleph. Tank Turrets can be a problem, helping the antag, but can easily be killed. The only times an Antag really has the same advantage, as a Raider, if not more, are on 'Cat & Mouse' and 'Mind over Matter' with the Beholders. If the creatures start spawning all over the place in 'The Enemy Within', the antag will be on a par with the raiders, but that's rare if you're in a good team. The Destroyer of Worlds is also a mission where unchecked kills on elites who get aleph, will turn the place into a Blitzkreig and shielded grappling elites on a rampage.
You'll pretty much always find antags on these missions. Other ones are really suicide for antags.

Sure, but in the other hand you can choose character after the Raiders, you have unlimited spawns, alternative mission victory options, you can now give orders to the AI, you can spy Raiders while you're dead, you can choose your spawn location...etc. The way that I see it, it's as a highly asymmetrical game mode, with both handicaps and advantages.

Ojuel,

Yes, I can see all that but humans ALWAYS beat AI in video games. The new commands, an Antag can give really are a waste of time. Giving orders to four grunts means diddly when a good team will annihilate them in seconds. A team of 4 T1 R1 raiders will destroy the equivalent antag. A T1 R1 X 3 team will also. Your new updates aren't doing much. Even if an antag can spawn anywhere there's still 3 seconds or so of antag invulnerability when they spawn a yellowy-orange glow that while the enemy can't attack you, you can't them, but they can SEE you. If antags could instantly reappear behind you, punch, grapple or shoot without invulnerability, on a par with Doldren, then that would give a huge edge, but then it would be very unfair.

Ojuel, the majority don't want an antag. You need to give them a choice or people will walk away. Monitor antag and no antag match figures and see what the overall consensus is and work from there (of course if an antag-no antag choice was given). I think the game is excellent but, truth be told, your updates are not addressing players' concerns and the new aleph update, let alone recent, isn't going to work.

There's an age old adage - "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
