Game stalls and farm accounts
Well new update and new bugs latest for me is on start up it hangs on my tablet. Just sits either on looking for server or the screen showing the station before it loads data. Thing is its every day .
Going onto galaxy wars well it freezes in battles as always .
Then there are the fam accounts players have these are extra accounts that generate loads of resources meaning they can field endless ships. I thought it was not allowed but devs turn a blind eye. I don’t mind losing but least make it a family even ground.
I can now see why so many players are quitting.
My advice is wait until a better game comes out or move to a pc based game.Show lessflornxx
Player griefing out of control
The UI seems like 10 different people worked on each menu and then they glued it all together in a very clunky manner.
After a week of play, I got the hang of the messy menus and general game play. I started to feel like I was progressing, got my fleet strength up, bought resources, used power-ups, joined an alliance, etc.
The player base wasn’t impressive at all. Alliance members followed me around as I destroyed fleets to take my resources far too often. This game encourages griefing and the chat channels are full of hostility.
Then, after a week of building my fleet, upgrading modules, etc., I was attacked by another player and lost almost the entire weeks worth of resources and fleet. My fleet power = 80k. The player who attacked, 1.5million. No chance.
The fun is replaced by greed, logical progression replaced by pay-to-win players.
I can see it may have been fun if I started right as this game was released but as it is now, it’s a mess and just frustrating when someone can take several days worth of micro-managed resources and hours upon hours of fleet building, setting you back so far that it’s discouraging. Sad to uninstall but the writing is on the wall. This isn’t worth investing my time or money on beyond the first week.Show lessvankirkguitars
Alliance club
The advice in to a you did something very bad leave club right away...___BeniJKnight
Bad customer support
Really fun game.But bad customer support.Had a fleet disappear after defending against Revengers because it was constantly “in battle”,but it didn’t appear on the system map. Couldn’t recall it,disband it,nothing.Contacted somebody thru the Help & Support section,nobody answered.Hurtful unheeded
Great gameplay but pay to win
This is a great game, a lot of immersive game play and strategy is required to work through the alliances and to work your way through the events and eventually server wars. The one thing that is disappointing is the money grab of the developers. The cost of the in-game purchases is disgusting to say the least. Basic stuff that you can achieve on your own starts at $7AUD with resource packages with in game credit costing up to $159AUD. The game is full of pay to win players, making it hard to compete as a free player. On top of that, the lengthy upgrade times. Example, to upgrade to level 6 station takes 90 days!
Because of this, when players lose a lot in battles or because of server error, alot of players will just quit the game. Don’t get me started on developer assistance...Show lessLatino-oz
Toxic
Honestly the game for the most part seems fair enough. But there is a lot they don’t tell or teach. The “major” guilds are very toxic and threaten players to submit to their alliance or be constantly attacked. The “safe zones” where you start out can be taken over making you an easily meal for these toxic guilds. Also even in safe zones if you fight the npc pirate fleets they will take advantage of this and use it as an opening to destroying anything you have worked to earn. Having built up enough power to defeat elite pirates to help get better upgrades means nothing when they can use that opportunity to destroy your your 10k fleet power with over 6 fleets over 300k power each. And the harassment from the toxic guilds does not go away unless you give in and join them.
There is also no safe guards to prevent constant player harassment or abuse of your base. They can constantly attack until you have no more materials or ships left to do anything and must rely on either spending real money for protection from constant harassment. And once all you materials are gone you’ll need to wait for free supplies which are small and pitiful or spend more money.Show lessLunanoctus
Unfit to play at this time.
Freezing screens, crashes, delayed screen frames during major battles causing massive fleet and space station losses to players. The latest Galaxy War event caused players to lose hundreds of hours of station development and wiped out fleets. Build times are horrendous in this game and if ships did survive they will be stuck in repair for weeks. Game play was impossible; couldn’t jump station, shield station, direct fleets because player screens froze, players apps crashed and now developers are blaming it on players networks rather then their increasingly unstable product. This is an expensive game to play at the elite level and players are losing hundreds of dollars of investment in one battle. Developers are currently ignoring the backlash caused by their own product instability.Show lessRAHErin
Interesting idea but
typical pay2win implementation by the developers.
They advertise that there are not lots of levels and the levels they have take longer to get to than other games to make it “more interesting” and “more appealing to regular players” (I presume this means players that can’t afford $1,000 per month or more. Don’t get fooled. This is still a pay2win game. Event rewards are ridiculously low for play2win events and pay2win events make the pay2win players even stronger. Customer (dis)service mouths the usual platitudes and either fobs you off on Apple or says they “appreciate your feedback” but nothing actually changes.
Over 40 real world days played in game and still solidly in the bottom 25% so play2win is not a viable strategy in this game.Show lessSoloSK71
Bad Support!
The game itself is a lot of fun and I enjoy it; until an issue occurs during any of the events. Then the game lags; freezes and you lose everything you worked for because a game mechanic failed and is out of your control. Then you contact customer support and they take days to respond... then when they do. “I’m sorry and we’re working to fix it.” ABSOLUTELY no offer to compensate you for your lost time and effort to no fault of your own! Absolutely the WORST customer service. Game is great; but buyer beware. Play at your own risk!!!Show lessInterNexes
Good game but needs more development
I’m impressed with the graphics, the ship building, I like the alliance tools and resources, and the fun you can have with this game. To make the game better, the game makers need to add a lot more solar systems. Galaxies are big places but ours is rather small and crowded with lots of other players crowding up the solar systems all trying to find resources. Also, the game makers could create solar systems with more variety, some with more planets, moons, asteroids, add comets and other space features. And 25 days to go up from level 4 to level 5 is too extreme. Build times needs to come down and be far more reasonable. It would be fun to also hunt and find different planets with various rewards, and to be able to develop bases on planets you find.Show lessDK3CPO122AT
