What kind of idiots decided on the new race changes? None of them make sense.
Camaar going back to 200% after all the mods were saying 200% was overpowered. Hypocritical much?
And losing PI!? What the buck!? Hell their just as crappy as they were before, wait they are what they were before. I guess camaar are back to being the perfect piece of crap speedy race again.
Wardancers going up to 70% attack, losing their pop bonus and gaining research. Wow a super custom attacker race with slightly less speed! This race is not a wardancer any longer. The pop bonus is what made them quirky and interesting. Let's just screw with all the numbers and just go with it right?
Pathetic. I remember when the players made the decisions in the game instead of a couple mods. These are big changes why didn't the public get the option to voice their opinions on these final changes!? There's not a single mod that I don't believe is completely unbiased in their decisions on game mechanics. And you should never make decisions for a game when you have biased your opinion based on your playing style or how you think it might benefit you.
And then quantams become super research custom races as if they weren't powerful bankers or SS attackers in the first place now they have 20% more research than any custom race, hell than any race period.
Screw this crap. I'm leaving the game because it's turning into something I don't want to be a part of. Overpowered races aren't going to save this game and ignorant developers one who doesn't know how to program and another who's spending 10 times longer to rebuild the game only because he prefers to use a managed programming environment that's not needed. And you don't need me? ha ha. There are still a hundred spelling errors in the game, but I guess since it's been that way for 10 YEARS it don't matter much huh (no wonder this game hasn't grown in TEN YEARS) And the funny thing is it would take me an hour to fix every spelling mistake in the game, and that includes setting up dreamweaver to access the server and copying all the files to my local harddrive and going through all the pages and fixing the mistakes. Sad isn't it? It's really not worth my time. I guess everyone should just wait a year for the game to be rebuilt when it could have taken 3 weeks if done properly ON MY OFF TIME. Hell I literally rebuilt IC using Javascript (!!!) for my simulator. All I was missing was a map spec ops attacking and exploration. My simulator took about 5-7 days of near non-stop programming and is 10 times more sophisticated then IC is currently. And more than half of that time i spent modifying my nexus windows framework to work with the simulator. Imagine if I would have created it without javascript, the programming time would have been cut in half. This is just another example of a game that could never be commercially marketed because it caters to the powerful and active players the most and not the entire community. Ever wonder why wow is STILL the most popular online game in existence? Because they constantly balance out all the races and play styles of all of it's players. Has IC done that at all? Hell no. It's still the most active people playing who are at the top of the rankings and no matter what changes nothing's going to fix this problem due to the fact that the top players would never agree to a balanced gaming mechanic of any sort. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer only in IC the active gain rankings while the non-active get farmed, and everyone in the middle trade planets throughout a round. Fun! - I'm out. I'm finally too sick of the bs to wait for anything to change. Watching tv or jerking off is going to be more entertaining than playing this game if I have to wait another 10 years for it to change or die off. The latter being a lot more likely than the former.
Don't bother replying because I probably wont be reading any comments. I'll only come back to see if an angry mod deletes my post so I can repost it.
