    There is a single and multiplayer. It is boring when you start out, but when you can defeat bosses it becomes funner

    I'm afraid I'm getting quite worn out by this game It's becoming a job rather than fun
    My mind is getting quite numb crawling like a snail to upgrade my M-27 to level 7 then 8
    I'm getting tired of shooting and hacking with my WB at these creatures!
    And despite a pretty good start today my payouts have been worse than other days
    The inertias getting me down !
    Think I'm gonna take a break and stop for awhile
    I'll miss the help and community spirit here especially the help of Drummerboycroy:)
    Thanks
    Capricornman:)

    Don't know when you'll read this, but I have to sadly agree. I've done about 50 runs today for a total of 2 Mithril...

    Aside from playing with people from TA, I'm having trouble staying excited. Each time I go through the trouble of killing a boss for the 10th or 15th time and not getting Mithril, the let-down is trememendous.

    Just finished two matches, one Serpent and one Siegfried (mostly because I found a random I liked and followed them:eek:;):D).

    First run, at least my 5th or 6th of the day, still zero Mithril, teammates got 4 & 3.

    Second run, at least my 5th or 6th of the day, still zero Mithril, teammates both got zero as well...

    Getting old fast, and the little glimpses of success are just way too small to matter...

    Hi Drummerboycroy
    Thanks for responding to my post
    Listening to your story pains me but also seals the deal to let the game go!
    I was even ranked up today but the things that have worked in the past week seem to be constricting any efforts now and the payouts are either ridiculous or stingy!
    Enough of this game
    I'll remember the brief runs we had and jokes
    That's what I'll take from this game
    Best wishes and see you on other threads and discussions:)
    Take care
    Capricornman:)

    Dammit. Did you even notice I remade your advice post into a sleep based post?

    ^This^

    Changes like this would seriously improve my experience of this game...

    Just another little tale for you, again, one of many (yeah, I can't stay away, and there's no one I know to play with...:()

    I just played a random PP with two others. First player died early, you know, trying to play the game?

    I don't see the second player for half the wave, and I start thinking, "Weird, I can see the little "Player 2" box, so there has to be someone else in here with me?"

    I finally find the player, being careful not to disturb his nap, and then finish the wave, basically alone.

    Enter the boss fight, and look who it is! It's my lost teammate and his sword! He and I then proceed to run around together with our swords for a minute or two, but then he died:( (OK, I helped a little.:eek:;)).

    Finished PP off, get to the stat screen, aaaaand... zero kills for my friend. Oh well, at least he made a little over $2,000.00 for his effort... yeah, apparently you get bonuses for just showing up, and based on the bonus of one of my other "teammates," the one from my Serpent match, the bonuses increase as the bosses get harder, even if you have zero kills...

    Again, I realize some people have consistently amazing luck with MP, but I do not... and it really takes the fun out of the game.

    Before I could even post this, I played another random PP match, exact same story. Player hiding in a corner, starts swinging his sword at me, eventually ends up in the boss fight. Gratefully, after helping the third "player" die, I HCed the PP, along with the player who was actually playing, and the two of us finished it. The player who died? ZERO kills.

    I really hope Freyr does something about this, and soon, because I find myself getting more and more cynical, which is not the reason I play games...

    Freyr says there's more to come!
    More of what ?
    Frustration or burst the game wide open into a fresh direction:)
    Shame there's no one for you to run some games:);)

    I really appreciate the kind, thoughtful words you've offered recently.:)

    I've been thinking a lot about this game in the past few days, with Superion going on hiatus, not being able to play with undead.exe nearly as much as I would like, and finally, Darthguy announcing he's not playing anymore.

    What I have come up with today is that this game has so many qualities that could make it something truly great, but there are substantial issues that make the game frustrating, unfair, and encourage behavior counter to the whole point of "Co-op MP."

    I'm done complaining and relating my little stories. Anyone who has played the game has a 100s of their own, or they've been extremely lucky.

    2 Mithril today, from countless runs on all bosses except the Rages, simply because I've only been able to pick up 2 games.

    Watching players who are really trying die with next to nothing, while people actively hiding and doing nothing get hundreds of thousands of dollars and Mithril, simply for showing up with a sword.

    I love the mechanics, love the gameplay, love the environments, love the character models, love the weaponry, love the enemy types, but the balance is just not right, and I truly hope Freyr does something about it...

    Be well my friend, and I hope you and I run together again at some point, if not in SW, perhaps in another game...;):)

    Not playing but everyone's starting to get bored of this game, and I for one agree. Superion , do you still play this? Undead? Dbc? Enjoo? Capricornman? Parcheesy? grey2theman? (If you weren't listed you haven't posted for a while or I haven't done a boss run with you.) Because, I will miss all of you if you quit this game. I will stalk ALL of you because you all are great. Stalking means p-mailing you, but this will happen not that often.
    I am making a guide before I turn over to MC forum and you know, DBC I'm really proud of your growth(at a video game:D:p) and ability to become the master. I even going to use your catchphrase.
    "Okay I'm done, put away the kleenex now.:D"

    Also what are you guys playing? I think we should all be on 1 game to talk. :) :D

    Yup, Superion, I noticed your clever transformation of my advice post -- nice work with changing 1200 kills to 12:00am. I thought I'd just show exactly HOW late I'm staying up, if you were wondering why I'm not camping in bed >.>

    Darthguy, I'm still playing this game fairly regularly, but that's probably because I've always had a few non community-based goals or gimmicks in this game I somewhat enjoy, well before I joined this forum. That being said, this forum community added a whole new dimension to the experience: suddenly, I'm alongside players who I actually know, and I want you guys to survive, do well, and enjoy the experience for more reasons than simply having another gun against an overgrown, firebreathing parrot. Trying out each and every weapon will keep me going for a little while longer, but I'm always looking to play alongside the awesome people I've met and talked to on here :p

    If I end up putting this game down, whether it be for a little break or for good, I might listen to whatever game recommendations you guys have. Just be warned though, if you guys wanted to give me a helping hand, I'll probably be an infuriatingly slow noob to train up >.>

    Most of the stuff I go for on iDevices aren't quite as in-depth as Star Warfare just yet. Puzzle type games are dominating my list, but I've got a few here and there like Infinity Blade 1 and 2, Dead Trigger, Mass Effect Infiltrator and Dead Space. I need to start playing those first, though, I'm not much of a multitasker :p

    ------

    Edit: Oh, also...have I mentioned that I'm horrifyingly bad at first-person shooters which are sniper-centric? Counterstrike and CoD are two games I generally avoid like the plague because of this rather unfortunate deficiency of mine >.>

    I love shooters, but I avoid zombie/horror like dead space. I was never good at sniping like quick scoping
    @ pman- yes I have played mmorpgs. I have star legends which is like pocket legends

    Quick little scan of what I saw here: Yeah, I break my hiatus tonight :') Sorry to hear you go again, Darthguy and Capricorn. We really need communication in voice, or at the very least quick in game messages. How's that mumble thing going on?

    Lastly, I agree that I won't be quitting for awhile. If we all do, though, we have to take into account the technological capabilities of each person, and what game type they prefer. Let me start. I'm pretty great with all types of RPG like games and Adventure games. Action is okay as long as its not "OMGFPSH4X0RZRAGEQUIT" type games. As for my capabilities, currently, I have an iDevice and a PS3 on weekends+ friday usually, and an all-purpose android on weekdays. Not sure if the new game can support my tech loadout :( :eek:

    Thanks so much Drummerboycroy for your excellent thoughts on this game!
    See I'm still checking the posts:)That's a good sign:)
    I agree and can relate like so many others to your love of and frustrations with this game
    I will keep this game on my device because there's a glimmer of hope Freyr may get it right and I do want to run again
    It was so hard yesterday and I hit the wall too many times and I thought what's the use in upgrading my M-27 to max if the frustration awaits me:)
    Part of me still wants to play and maybe the only thing I can stand right now is to open the game everyday and collect my bonus because I've worked my butt off but not as much as you
    We deserve that at least!!!!
    And then just play one game of mantis and one game of PP because thats where I at least get my maximum points and a little bit of Mithril
    All games after that are usually a let down for the efforts
    Last night I tried one game of single player infinity on space station I think it was to see how long I could last
    I got to a little over 600 kills using both WB and M-27
    I was feeling a bit more rested but started to feel real tired and dizzy a bit
    And for all that effort with my Perseus helmet,and arms, Andromedae legs and Cygni chest ( which I worked like crazy to earn but was really fun acquiring) I only received 120,000 points when most other days I was getting much more
    It just feels like Freyr wants all roads to lead to IAP ...I've already bought the game when it first came out...I bought the 2.99 rank up package and I bought one 4.99 Mithril package so I could get a few things but that's it!!!! No more IAPs and I put that money in because I felt it was worth it being a great game and all
    So what I'm trying to say my friend is I'll hang around and play a bit
    Slowly build my M-27 , resist IAP... And hope to meet you along the way
    Take care
