Where is HS going?

Seems that Gar has found a new line to say instead of "noob'd"

it also seems that you can put Gar's name in there, and its so much more true.

[Acer]

HS is dead intill the next reset.

[omni]

HS is dead intill the next reset.

 

Unfortunately that is true.

Only a reset can bring back the competitiveness of being the best, the richest. Also, there hasn't been much staff activity lately. I'm seeing fewer and fewer events and races being hosted. The last time I saw one hosted was several weeks ago.

Agree'd.

Only a reset will fix hyperspace.

Lately, pop is around 9 in spec and a 3 v 3 game that dies after about an hour of gaming between 3 - 6 pm est.

[Deathmonger]

HS is dead at next reset because items have become way too expensive relative to income.

[Kilo]

Would make sense if the prices had dramatically changed or if you didn't earn more money when you had less exp.

[Acer]

No the items aren't to expensive, play for 3 weeks and you could have 3m. If your good enough.

[Evil Doom]

No the items aren't to expensive, play for 3 weeks and you could have 3m. If you have enough time, with a little bit of knowledge on how HS works.

[Corey]

3M item in 3 weeks, from scratch = Impossible.

[Acer]

Not impossible. There are ways of doing it. Maybe the 3weeks would change to 5 weeks. But that's basically it. If you try to max out one ship at a time that is.

[Kilo]

The ease of getting $3M is directly proportional to the amount of races that are hosted.

[Acer]

Host more races?

 

Host more races!

Host more races!

HOST MORE RACES!

I think I remember what those are.. I keep forgetting that fun things can be hosted in this zone...

[omni]

Upper staff are overly concerned with how perfectly the items are balanced that no focus is being put on creating a zone that is more fun. Not many zones can have completely fair settings, and attempting it is impossible. However, with some new events, leagues, and player input, most people will forget about the minor imbalances of the game.

 

The only events that are ever hosted are race and dodge, and that's rarely. Many mods can't/dont know how to host turretwars or other events. HS has never had a league either. I can't stress this enough. All of the high population zones in this game are only able to maintain their population because of their leagues. This sparks player interest and is a great way for players to become more integrated and familiar with the zone. I've heard about the "flag control" or whatever it is that was mentioned a while ago, and I think that should be developed and publicized asap. I think this would benefit the zone more than just adding new items like nova bomb, gigjoulerailgun, etc.

 

I think shifting the focus could be a good turn for the zone.

[Stibbymicto]

More events then the occasional one every couple of weeks would be nice. :\

[protocol_]

I wish bomb line would be reinstated. That was by far my favorite event and everyone enjoyed it.

[Acer]

I agree with omni all the way. HS needs a league. Don't say that it's impossible to make happen, it's not. HS is what the most, hold on let me enter zone to find out, alright here it is, the most advanced zone in subspace, and yet it doesn't have a league... Out of 100 that's -10 points, down to 90points. Mods are barely on, -5 points. 85 points. No one ever hosts to keep pop alive or even host just for fun. -10 points, 75points remaining. No pop cuz of no reset making almost everyone quit. -15 points, down to 60 points. I could go on all day with this but I'm not. I think you see my point, if you don't then reread the dang thing. The developers are focusing on items, no one really cares about items every reset. Maybe once every other month you can add one item. People would still play even if you don't add them. Focus on something new. Most players would happily help you guys out if you want to do something new like make a LEAGUE.

 

Omni really knows what he's talking about...

The problem with event hosting is that.

A ) Staff have a grant limit.

B ) Staff are busy.

C ) The event isn't hosted when a lot of people are on.

I've tried talking to staff about letting me host an official flagging league in HS, but so far I've been rejected.

That's cause no one really cares about the players enough to make changes. O-well ss is dying faster then someone typing the alphabet backwards 5 times in a row.

[Evil Doom]

As far as i know, there is a "plan" to have a flagging league in HS. But it wont be up and running for a very long time.

[Kilo]

We'd rather put in effort to make something's that's good than cut corners and make something that's not good.

I host a lot whenever I see lots of flag games happening, that's the deal.

 

Every time someone says SS is dying, they're over dramatizing. All games die eventually, but most don't live for 13 years. SS will still be here in 5 years.

[Acer]

If they ever get the "3D Subspace" thing up. Yeah it will be here in 5 years maybe even more. But how it's looking now, no way man. But I really think a reset is what HS needs to raise the pop and then mod's must be on in order to keep the pop alive if any one on staff cares about pop.

[rootbear75]

just wait til after second weekend in march... im going to a con to pass out some SS paraphenilia (sp?). hopefully that will boost the pop by at least 100...
