Does anyone still play the beta or did it just tank after the first few days?

Every since they started selling titanium model starwars ships in stores I have wanted to get SS ships made the same way.

I think beta's pretty much dead. It's too tough to do anything since admins massively increased SP costs without lowering AI power to compensate, and grinding out a thousand levels to hit endgame is just boring.

you know, i dont really feel all that good about being utterly proven right to the point where its not funny anymore...


the admins need to restart the beta, and keep restarting it, with a few changes each time, until it is "active" consistently

Unless the whole team pays me for them, there will be only one.


That's it? Useless.

yeah, they shouldve just printed out a plastic dick so the message "go fuck yourselves" was clear, rather than implying "go fuck yourself" by giving out a plastic model of a ship noone uses anymore, rather than anything actually useful in game that would make the time spent on the beta worth the effort...

Post Re: Prizes for beta?
did the other prizes get announced yet? difficult for players to get excited about achievements on the beta if they don't know which ones are important.

Those ships where never intended to be the only reward, they are completely a bonus. If someone does manage to take emp they can probably expect some really nice reward.

What about all the other rewards, though? The first to do X ones, the milestones anyone can accomplish? We still haven't gotten a list of them, the people still playing are probably nearing the point where it's going to become important (all three of them).

Not knowing what the prizes are essentially is what has stopped me from logging onto the beta since the first couple of days.

The way i see it i have 2 options:

Log on the beta, dont play live, gain a hell of a lot of gear in the beta...eventually have all that gear and levels deleted and then the prize for my time is essentially a game of chance. Sure there is a chance i might get a nice shiny reward that would make all the non beta players jealous, but realistically the prize is probably going to be a half arsed underpowered piece of shit that will never get buffed or an overpowered something or another that will eventually be nerfed to become about as useful as a chocolate teapot.


The second option is i keep playing the live client, get myself more modded gear, get my alts t21 skills, make my alts t21 ships and most importantly of all i wont get any of this gear deleted.


Do you see the problem, why would i spend my time hunting bugs and trying to help make a game smooth when there is no rewards system in place to speak of and the "enjoyment" factor is not there for me or many other players due to just how buggy c2 is.

Time is the most valuable commodity in the world and myself and the majority of star sonata are unlikely to give you days or weeks of our time for no benefit.

A bug or problem should be on a scale of 1 to 5, imo. Each point is a point you keep and use in a shop so to speak.

Shop is just a support ticket detailing what you want from the pot of goodies. No unique stuff, though. Anyone can get what you get, if they want to.

-Imp Chests
-New Imp Skills(like a speed Imp skill(like the bar counterpart) or higher levels in an Imp skill
-High end T19/T20/T21 ship. On terms of a PosWave+ for T21, etc. T21 being more expensive than T19.
-RC19/20
-Imperial equipment(weapons, shields, etc, T20. On par with higher end T21 gear)

Things like that. Of course the better stuff would be more expensive than the lower end stuff, and thus require much more bugs found and tagged. Bugs should not be recorded on the forum, but rather a private admin database thing, to give the sense that theres more out there.


Goals could be the same. Like the first 5 squads to do an uber, or kill a certain ai, or reach a certain mission complete.

it would be horrible if the requirements are listed post-event and it turns out a certain group of players magically managed to get them all spot on... /me puts on tin foil hat again

Another issue is the admins will let a bug stay in game for months and if u report it over this period in time they generally say "Oh, someone else has already reported this therefore we cannot give you an imp seal".

I imagine this must happen a hell of a lot to a few people, one reason why i have no faith in what you suggested churchill as they will just mug you out of points like they always do and also the reason i will be exploiting bugs i find from now on.

Never said my idea was good. Only spent 5 minutes in the Beta before literally saying "This is shit, back to C1".

Tbh any reward for finding bugs is bad in a Beta.

Maybe a red star in game for being an Official Bug Hunter? Must find, report, and annoy the admins through support tickets and the like until the game is patched and therefore bug fixed(like, a patch each week or couple of days) to keep the title and star.
