Battle Bay is getting boring according to some players, because of no real updates, true?

Hello All,

The last couple of months I have heard a lot of people complaining about the lack of real updates in Battle Bay. Except for some graphic changes and a theme song, nothing has been added. No new maps have been introduced since November (I believe), no new ships, no new weapons or any other real changes for that matter, apart from some very minor changes.

Some even say they let Battle Bay die a slow death. Sounds a bit harsh and I don't know where they get their info. But some are spreading this, which is not good for the moral I can say. So, I hope someone can refute this gossip. But they are right, that Battle Bay becomes a bit boring after having played the same maps for over a year and the newest one over six months.

To keep the game fresh, alive and the people interested, there need to be some real updates soon.

One or two new maps, and at least one new boat are more than welcome and long overdue. I woul like a map in the forest, with creeks and so on and small islands.


Regards,
Flint

 

My impression of a new map, very crudely made I know. (it is too warm for me here, so hope that excuse will do and was a bit of a joke)

 

Or, you know, we all could race?

 

Lmao

 

lol, a lot better general! You should have won a 1000.000 sugar for your input

 

I don’t, personally, feel that the game needs ‘more stuff’, what we need is ‘better stuff’.

The issue for me is that it’s so painfully slow and expensive to try anything different (even with the stuff that already exists).

Something as basic as swapping perks or crew talents, is prohibitively expensive and slow, let alone trying to swap ships and weapons.

I also find that a lot of battles (almost every battle really) is very Shooter heavy, which kind of adds to the monotony. Even for non-shooters, the number of viable builds is quite small. That’s a balance issue IMO.

 

-Buff defender
-Don't nerf anything (sniper cannon lol)
-New maps
-New ships
-New items (such as PEM, an electromagnetic pulse than disallow all enemy yellow items for 5 seconds, 20 sec cooldown and 2 slot yellow item)
-Guild wars 5vs5 support in-game
-Voice chat or Custom battle chat
-BETTER MATCHMAKING, 1 fixer in each team, or no fixer in both.

One of these and i'm happy.

 

they do update every 2 months, only once for 3 months. it is the second time for a 3 months update

 

to be honest. bb is dying. for a year after release there only 2 new weapons and 1 new map i guess. basically no new content at all. another thing is that dev try to suck blood from player while letting the game dying by nerf most used iteams. most of the time not for balance reason, just want to see big wheals spend more cash, they dont care about majority player base quit the game during this kind of nerfs, they just want more money before the game die.

 

Quit then. Nobody is forcing you to play, nobody even cares if you play or quit

 

That's the problem, no one cares, neither you, me or ROVIO. That guy could posibly spend some bucks but he feels unhappy about the game.
Yesterday i was cleaning my friend list and i found out 15 or 20 guys who quit the game, one of them with a couple of legendaries, he throw money for nothing.

 

2 modes the current would be blitz.
More tactical based which should affect infamy should be objective based, no whales only skills.
Competitions and Scaling of ships and items accordingly.

 

I've been frost killed a couple of times in the past two days. I got rocked by an enforcer with frost blaster and big berta, then by a speeder with frost blaster and big torpedo.

Those two combos aside, I still see a number of frost launchers.

I'm not convinced the combo is entirely dead. The nerf was heavy handed and drove people away from it, but from what I've seen, it is still viable.

The biggest issue is people shooting a frosted ship with a cannon or something silly instead of getting the full potential from the bonus damage with mortar or torpedo.

 

Separate infamy ladder where matchmakng is based on gear score + MK + captain level. Rating would therefore be based much more on skill. No rewards except pearls to ensure people still keep grinding the P2W ladder.

 

Am I the only one who is against new ships and weapons? It's hard enough to get duplicates as it is!
As for new maps, yeah, a new map would be cool, but not necessary.
I would rather a they balanced an OP/UP item than add a new one. Imo the only new item needed is a 2-slot green.
What the game needs most atm (Imho) is another gamemode.

 

The fact that we talk about whether the game is dying is or not, tells you that it is indeed dying.

Whatever update they come up with, whatever canned message of assurance Grim Repair gives us, it won't get the inactive players back because it's too late. Most of them have already moved on from the game.

Rovio is just riding it till it pays no more. At least we got a Soundtrack! LOL!

 

Let's go down to Mexico and start a UFO religion!
