Planetarion's future updates

[Phil M]

What are we going to get from Planetarion in the next round and the next 2-3 rounds? I'm asking what future updates are going to come to Planetarion.

I'd say that one thing people are complaining about is the lack of vision within PA Team, changes occur on a round by round basis and we only tend to see them close to the start of the next round. Could we get an update of the next big things which are going to be implemented? Maybe a "state of the game" post at some point in each round where the people who run Planetarion can explain whats going on with the game currently and where they see the game going in the short/medium and possibly long term future.

One particular game I enjoy has a developers blog, something which Planetarion seems to lack.

Considering the frequency at which PA team promises to do something (hi portal) which then fails to be delivered (hi portal) or is done sloppily (hi portal), I think that perhaps the damage of increasing that frequency might undo the good a long-term vision would do.

Why are you treating PA Team as if they are full time employees of Jolt / Planetarion whereby they can dedicate all their time to it?

[Kargool]

I am more hoping that they would dedicate _some_ time to it.

bit harsh karg, they do try yknow :P

but yeah.. i think some kind of long term vision.. even if its a little vague.. might make some people happy

Why does there have to be so much change each round? Most discussions i have read are complaining about the lack of information about things that are to be changed or the slow speed at which things are made to work when they are changed or that the changes made are rubbish and should be changed back.

Surely just reducing the changes made would make people much happier, i don't hear of other games changing so dramatically every 3months to suit a few members whims. pa is a good game otherwise it wouldn't have its x player memberbase. I have a feling that rehauling stats over and over changing the portal etc. will not make players flood o the game, only word of mouth and advertising would do that -

I say give the hq a break on workload and let them tweak with actual problems/inbalances that occur in the game instead of changing the game every round

rant over :s
