Concerns with recent update and games future.

Dear devs,

I have been following Starbound for quite some time now and when the beta came out i was more then happy with the results, it far exceeded my expectations. After playing all day when i came out the game was very challenging and alot of fun, however sense the update on the fifth the game has become much too easy and was dumbed down way to much which has resulted in very boring and mindless game play. I fear that if you keep making the game easier for the down syndrome children then there might not be a future for this game. What i would like to see is all the updates making the game far to easy taken and put into "kiddy mode" that can be selected and leaving the game the way it was (actually a challenge).

Please don't let the game become a casualized child's game, i really loved it up until that update.

Let's not be offensive now, insulting mentally retarded children should only come up after some serious trolling. But I agree, I do want this game to have challenging moments in it. And I want them to be rewarding based on the challenges faced.

 

They changed quite a few things in that update, care to specify what it is you think was dumbed down and made too easy?

 

The main thing is the amount of pixels you get, before the update i gained a total of 2000 in 8 hours game play, after the update i got 10k in less then 2 hours.....

Also it in nearly impossible to die due to the fact that in 5 mins i can make 100 bandages.... it is ridicules

 

All the bandages in the world won't save you when xxMLGxN0sc0peZxNPCxN00BSL4Y3Rxx ruins your day with his instant reaction time.

 

They made no mention of changing the drop rate of pixels. They reduced the amount of pixels you lose if you die and how many pixels it costs to craft stuff, so you don't actually gain more pixels you just lose less. I had enough pixels to craft anything I wanted even before the update so I don't really have an issue with the changes made.

EDIT

The only difference in bandage crafting is that it now goes straight from plant fibres to bandages instead of fibres->cloth->bandages. The amount of bandages that can be made from any number of plant fibres remains the same, you just don't need to haul a yarn spinner around in the field.

 

Too true. NPC's with sniper rifles!? Holy shit. I got one shot by one on a level 5 planet when I had full silver armor on.
