The only thing missing is the fact we have all requested 1 new thing over the years and got tons of new crap we dont want. This being tbe Dry Dock. I personally didnt do this last raid because im sick of having so many hulls ill never have the time to build. I have 3 fleets backlogged and by the time they are done, they will be obsolete. Kixeye can have the newbies and whale coiners, ive see so many of my high lvl friends quit or sell their account because of this crap. I used to play every night, now im lucky to care to do the FM in one night a week.

This is not gaming but only taking a lots of money out of people.And if i need to will not play the raids for 1 OR 2 OR 3 YEARS really dont care anymore.

At first WarGaming did nothing, they though their World of Tanks is on top. But then after it was released in Open Beta most of the coiners left WoT to play tanks in WT. As result WarGaming started doing their best to make WoT better. Very same scenario is going to develop between Kixeye & Konka.WarStalkeRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787235902546420891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355801487878822.post-56589776944589716882014-11-17T18:59:16.985-08:002014-11-17T18:59:16.985-08:00i agree 100%. but i seriously doubt enough people...i agree 100%. but i seriously doubt enough people could be organized to pull off a successful boycott. most recently this was tried with the new dredges and was an utter failure. as much as i am on board, i don't believe this can be done....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994785160580574776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355801487878822.post-53687597095027200442014-11-17T18:04:37.084-08:002014-11-17T18:04:37.084-08:00I have to agree with you.

Its funny that Kix thinks they are sitting at the top of the game, that they aren't worried about Konka taking their business.

And it's competition. At 1st January Ocean at War will be released. Currently, I'm participating in alpha and alpha testing goes smooth. Once there will be alternative to Battle Pirates, people will be able to leave them to play Ocean at War. And to avoid this, Kixeye will have to do a lot of things for Battle Pirates, otherwise "whale" coiners will leave it to play OaW.<br /><br />Why I'm so sure? A couple of things:<br />1) BP Coins cost: $1 = 10 coins. OaW kredits cost: $1 = 100 kredits. In BP 1 hour = 2 coins. In OaW 1 hour = 10 kredits. As you can see OaW time:money ratio is twice efficient than in BP.<br />2) Repair times in OaW will be 2-3 hours at most (that what the devs said).<br />3) OaW will have Dry Docks, while in BP its still far off dream.<br />4) In OaW Battleship will be actually a Battleship-class warship. And not like Battleship in BP which has only 6 weapon slots, while "Kodiak" Cruiser has all 10 weapon slots.WarStalkeRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787235902546420891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355801487878822.post-78662329900152222552014-11-17T12:31:12.948-08:002014-11-17T12:31:12.948-08:00What seems crazy to me is that after playing for a...What seems crazy to me is that after playing for about 18 months I am starting to see KixEye as the adversary in the game rather than the content. It does not feel like I am contending against the Dracs or the Reavers, but rather KixEye as a Company. This is not a healthy place for the game to be. I deeply enjoy BP as a game and the company who produces it should feel like my Ally in that enjoyment not my Enemy.Thermytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698443195295050178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355801487878822.post-28575058683375869102014-11-17T12:16:25.826-08:002014-11-17T12:16:25.826-08:00Let's do itLet's do itAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084885148970833827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355801487878822.post-1401894934474972452014-11-17T11:18:37.025-08:002014-11-17T11:18:37.025-08:00Interesting, and nice to hear..perhaps there is ...Interesting, and nice to hear..perhaps there is some hope..<br />Nukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036029278054039151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685355801487878822.post-7848080748239193042014-11-17T09:44:38.872-08:002014-11-17T09:44:38.872-08:00Here is one things I know personally.

The Loot Lady and several other huge communities like you had put together a no log in or spend for a week.<br /><br />I let Zynga know of course because I held hands with many of the elite whales in the game. Yes they do get special treatment. They told me they werent worried. <br /><br />It actually did make a difference. When day 5 hit, they posted in the forums asking what players would like to see. This was when Zynga was king. It also made the many gaming site news<br /><br />Things were soon implemented that were asked for and that is how I know things can change if organized. The first day only around 25K didn't log in and as people kept posting. The 3rd day over 300K was reported. The 4th day it was reported that a drop in players was around 500,000. <br /><br />They contacted a few of the sites and had me gather lists of what the players wanted. The biggest thing gained was double coins or half prize coins at least every 3 months. That every month only 1 type of tech would be replaced making it more of a rotating circuit. Trading of tech items was also put into place....<br /><br />Wish I could tell you the whole story but my NDA keeps me from talking about it :(. If people want change....It can happen. They just have to make it happen.

The mega coiners are still the minority. If BV, Facebook Groups, and Blogs like this let the normal player know.....If they stop coining for a month. They will not fall behind. It will in the end help get more benefit from their money. It will take a group undertaking, but it can happen. The bottom line is the customer is always right and if the mid and low end coiners stopped for a month. I am 100% sure Kixeye would freak the fuck out and we would all see change.....<br /><br />I wish it would happen.....I wish it was organized....<br /><br />Michigan Marauder<br /><br />FYI, You guys are part of the backbone of the community, never stop writing HitMan Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866764791583222386noreply@blogger.com
