Whats your reason

tunky · May 2016

I was hoping to put about a hundred options but it stopped at 10, so if i didnt get to your reason to stay or leave then my bad, that option is floating around somewhere

Nopw · May 2016

Lack of new content is off putting.

Just a handful of new and/or revised things can make the game fresher for me. Stuff like adding more options to customize your Outpost (lol, I do Outpost and have had very little issues). Or something like adding a few more missions in each episode with randomized terrain. Something in the Challenges that is super challenging, like having to hold a defensive line against high level walkers with a few fatties and armoured walkers. Or that defensive mission, but against a scout party of Saviors running from a new and mysterious group of survivors.

Just...something to be fresh and new, so I can be more excited to play the game.

Two challenges a week doesnt leave time for what i want to accomplish in the game.

Many things on this list are real problems and have been voiced in the past yet the devs fail to do anything about it. This game has been going downhill fast.

I dont like that it takes a week just do get enough stuff to upgrade one item.

Actually 2-6

I dont like that it takes a week just do get enough stuff to upgrade one item.

First I'm not about to quit but I am thinking about how much longer before I decide to quit and NG is doing their best to push me out the door.

Second for me voting options one and two go hand in hand, because of 2 challenges a week I don't have time to farm out XP or tomatoes. Now I'm not saying go back to 1 challenge a week because there are some benefits to 2 a week but 2 a week helps create a shitstorm when you combine it with the high cost of living in NML. I would consider spending my gold on speeding up an upgrade but for what? So it can be ready for the next upgrade while I spend 5 days getting XP for the next upgrade? I started on Tuesday trying to upgrade a base level 18 rifle. I had 1.3 million in XP and it cost 710,000 for the first upgrade and what like 20 hours? It finished but even though I had 600,000 already it took 2 more days before I farmed out enough for upgrade 2 which was completed yesterday morning. I'm back up to 700,000 XP right now and I need 1.13 million or something whatever. I guess in 3 more days maybe 2 if I'm lucky I'll be able to upgrade it to level 21 which is another 24 hours to actually upgrade it. That's ridiculous NG and shameful. So that's just for 1 weapon for 1 survivor. I have 15 survivors and they each have armor and weapons. Even if I only upgrade the level 18 survivors new equipment because not all my survivors need or can use new equipment that's 4 survivors at the moment times two pieces of gear times times one week yeah that's 8 weeks for upgrading Guess what, there's a great chance that by the end of those 8 weeks there will be a council upgrade or even sooner which causes that piece to be obsolete so bonus points to NG for understanding the concept of building obsoletion into the equipment so that they can maximize profit. Or I can spend $20 to upgrade these items but I'm not going to spend $160 for one month of use. Or even more if the stingy ass radio tower coughs up someone better than a bruiser who caps out at level 17.

During that time to earn XP for upgrade I spent a lot of gold on gas so it's not like I'm just sitting around in the camp roasting marshmallows and talking about the walker that almost bit my foot. I also converted TG into silver and gold crates to convert into XP and food.

I don't expect immediate gratification but 2.7 million in XP when you spend all your time knocking out stars so you don't have time for XP and one day for each upgrade is insanity. Couple the lack of time with the gas restraints and small storage capacity of XP and you have a vicious cycle that mirrors a drug dealer control over a drug addict.

Don't get me started on the busted ass joke of outposts. Broken shields, bad match making, and double zeros on influence AND trade goods sucks big time. The algorithms suck for getting gear and survivors but hey at least everyone is at the mercy of the RNG unless they want to spend $ to overcome that obstacle.

I wish we had some content with Woodbury and the Governor. I am getting a little stale but there are bigger issues than that right now. Too little gas to accomplish 2 challenges a week AND progress in the game AND upgrade survivors AND gear AND defend AND attack outposts. It's becoming like a second job or having another kid so if something isn't done soon I'll be quitting.

tunky · May 2016

@Shut_Up wow that is a lot, i did create a new guild just to focus on the weekend challenge leaving the other days to do what you want

SpacemanSpiff · May 2016

There should be a poll option for: "This isn't an all-or-nothing; I may just log-in less until further updates give me motivation to play more again..."

...That's my vote.

SlickRick · May 2016

@SpacemanSpiff

Yeah I think your statement is more accurate...very rarely is stuff so black and white especially with this game....there are many things I don't like about the game yet I still play every day and give them money every week...and I'm sure there are many others in the same boat!

Furginator · May 2016

Reading multiple threads about others not enjoying the game as much is making me realize i dont enjoy it as much either

I think you should have an option, "I like the game and enjoy playing the game within the given developed parameters".

Cherokee_Rose · May 2016

I love this game and will never quit

Since this was really the only option for not quitting. I have no plans to quit but if circumstances in real life leave me no time to play then I will set it aside or just play less, not because I don't like the game.

Japes87 · May 2016

They keep messing with the algorithms making it harder which isnt fun when im a high level

Even if they just fixed the deadly exploration missions in the mean time until other promised changes happen with future updates , I'd be happy. This rare after rare after rare gear in gold crates or under levelled epic and leg gear has gotta go. With outposts broken , we need a way to get good gear besides trade goods

corpseridder35 · May 2016

I'm almost a month into the game myself. I'm starting to really like it.I've spent money on gold an slots.Lvl 13 characters 2 n 3 stars at the moment, full roster of 25 besides outpost.So I have plenty of room to grow. I'm looking forward to a survivor weekend event. Got every class but less bruisers an scout's.There becoming less needed on missions. Anyways I see myself stayin around playing the game.Its becoming attaching a little bit lol

I'm in the same boat as @SpacemanSpiff and @SlickRick.

We going to need a bigger boat @Boruto

SgtSalami · May 2016

Repetition is getting the best of me.

I wish I could check multiple items. The high cost of upgrading everything is linked to the repetitious nature of the game. I am not a fan of the two challenges a week. We need new story missions. That is why I started playing the game. We also need new challenge maps. Outposts...I could do without. I no longer care to play pvp games, which is why I chose this one to play. Unfortunately, the attention to make outposts work has meant that the other issues of playability and new content has been sidelined. I really see the demise of the game that I enjoyed being completely linked to the release of outposts. I have no problem if they started outposts and still made the rest of the game work, but they didn't, and that is all on NG and the direction they wanted to take the game.

Movado · May 2016

I vote the same as @SpacemanSpiff

Amiga · May 2016

I dont like that it takes a week just do get enough stuff to upgrade one item.

The biggest issue is XP economy for high lvl players.... Also poor rewards in early challenge isn't good and I'm getting bored to start it all over every 3 days.

Neil_J · May 2016

I love this game and will never quit

Despite it taking longer to earn XP to wait longer for upgrades to complete, 50% 0/0 search results and occasional disconnection, this is still a good game that will become great again if they sort the technicalities out, increase the XP awards (especially when scrapping upgraded gear), and maybe cut waiting times. Of course higher level upgrading is going to be exponentially dearer!
All in all, I'm staying around for the foreseeable (health concerns permitting, of course).

woodstock · May 2016

Many reasons, just voted the worst for me. I agree with @SpacemanSpiff

Amiga · May 2016

I had nice play during last supplies event but now I slowed down again. Don't feel any motivation to play. Hope next update will change something...

MadPuppy · May 2016

This poll is basically just a rant with your own gripes right?

It lists only one positive bullet and that is so exaggerated it's silly.
So I cannot vote.

For a fairly new player this game is lots of fun.
Lots of different ways to play (both in different types of missions and pvp as well as strategy wise), possibility of interaction with other players, and fully free to play which makes it accessible to everyone!

But to state that one will never ever quit playing it is obviously silly. Everying in entertainment will eventually loose interest. At that point I'll be like "what else is on" and move on the next fun thing.

To me it sounds you've simply reached that piont but cannot just quite shake the addiction.

@MadPuppy
You're right. For new players it's amazing game. But when you reach lvl 45+ then you realized that game balance is really broken for high lvl players...

Johnbert · May 2016

I dont like that it takes a week just do get enough stuff to upgrade one item.

i'm player lvl44 now. 2 million xp to upgrade a legendary lvl17 weapon to lvl20. about 7,5 million tomatoes to upgrade my council (16 -> 17), workshop (14 -> 15) and training ground (16 -> 17). this is just laughable. also, about 80% of the raids are 0/0 rewards. wtf?!

Amiga · May 2016

I don't mind to collect supplies slowly. It's fair enough but XP cost compare to production /loot is really frustrating. My hundreds of gear will be obsolete sooner that I upgraded it....

Reeconn · May 2016

I love this game and will never quit

I am level 50 and I like 2 challenges a week because it gives me something to do and it's easy farming . It is a very one sided poll ... Nobody forces you play 2 challenges a week , nobody is forced to join a guild and nobody forces you to spend real money , it's just a game not a way of life so just enjoy it or move on

Tell the name of your guild that let you enter but not force to get a minimum amount of stars for each challenges.

@Reeconn
Easy farming you saidy...for me is rather waste of time. I mean early challenge maps. I need milions of XP but missions crates offering me 100-200 Xp which is waste of time in my opinion. Exploration maps then? No way when it cost 6 gas per run... So maybe Outpost?? Again no.. Too many empty results. In overall I call it BAD GAME BALANCE.

Why I'm still playing instead of go on ??? Because I love zombies games and turn base strategies....

I'm really over the lack of support in-game. We log tickets, and they're ignored for MONTHS, when all it takes is a simple "We hear you. That sucks, I'm sorry. Here's some sort of compensation, while we fix this. We'll leave this ticket open, until the issue is resolved and update you through this ticket."

Sarah · May 2016

I dont like that it takes a week just do get enough stuff to upgrade one item.

Also, once you get to a certain level, it's beyond boring to grind away challenges, just to upgrade one level of one item. Challenges are never-ending, leading to burnout, but I'm sure NG is aware of this.

Welcome.
