it seems nowhere is safe from the 'everythings shit and broken and i wont get excited or be interested' attitude
Seriously though, I get it, i felt pretty mislead and disappointed when i realised powerplay didnt incorporate all the play styles like it claimed, and that in fact it was a very superficial layer of mundane tasks laid over the game, rather than giving the actual game play some purpose.
But I bounced back, I still think the game has lots of promise and I think they can deliver. Although there are a ridiculous amount of flaws in powerplays design that i could have pointed out to them in the concept phase, it actually wouldnt take a whole lot of changes to make it an interesting element of the game. namely, doing away with the ferrying of boxes of faction 'stuff' and making faction specific mining, trading, and combat missions available in relevant places instead, so that players could engage in their trade and make money, while supporting their power.... presumably at some point something along these lines will happen.
despite this though, i'm sorry but im pretty sure im still going to be interested and excited about what they have to announce next.
I think i may be in the minority here though.
