Hi Admins,
Donator here, i don’t brag about it and don’t regret helping a little for the server and may hlp you running the server again, don’t get me wrong its just My 2 cents about the current formula of the server :
-If you want us to leave Starter Planet, you should set the 1st Faction planet to PVE… of course with strict limitations about BA/CV. In 4.0x the learning curve was better ( you could say easier ), but now with ppl from your own Origins able to shoot each other, there is almost no point to plant a base in the 1st faction planet… its better to warp out just before the wipe and come back right after in the starter to farm, thus making the life of newbies harder. The 1st faction planet should serve at a stepping stone before going for the RP limited planets and pvp fighting (as most i really don’t like the current RP system, but i saw that you have something coming so i’ll don’t speak about it ).
The Newbies who just come out of starters, are just butchered once they get to Neptune per exemple ( if you are of trader origin ) then they just quit the server… loosing all your little ressources you gained after a week of farming the second you enter Neptune is no fun. Again the 1st faction planet SHOULD be a stepping stone ( orbit and moon should be pvp like it was on 4.0x but if you don’t have at least a little place to rest its too stressfull )
Again, this could be achieved by a limitation of BA and CV parking ( like only 1 BA per player/faction even if set to private/public with limited blocks and devices ).
I’m a member of a huge multi-gaming French community ( FrogSwarm ) counting 300+ ppl with many EVE online and world of tanks Vets, we try to get some of our ppl into the game but right now, the server is absolutely not user friendly in my opinion, and we already lost players who woud have come and become donator right away. We started Traders, we actually can’t do our jobs, the point 6 ( hws story ) of the Guide have become irrevelant with the current setup.
I hope you don’t get my post as a whiney non-constructive wall of text, but i like the game, i like HWS, you have so much potential, and iam become afraid of the way the server have taken, the PVPVE was great ( of course not perfect it had to be tweaked ).Then again i thx you for your work on this server and hope you may read or maybe consider some of my points.
sry for my english, im french.
