Re: DUPLICITY
(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 07:39 am (UTC)(link)but also damn this player is up their own ass and part of the problem. their OC is "too realistic"? game events "abruptly started getting better" because of their personal contributions? girl what
events haven't been good in this game for a long time and that's what a lot of the feedback in the recent player survey was about. and your made up trauma fetish military OC isn't some form of high art hyperrealism
you just thought you were in tight with the popular clique, but you found out that really you were only hanging around laughing at their jokes and now you're oh so wounded about getting the same treatment as everyone else, boo hoo
Re: DUPLICITY
(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 08:35 am (UTC)(link)but I will say there was a period of time where events did seem to improve - not to the extent that this player seems to think, but they were comparatively better until they started to be the same thing almost every month. (do we need to thank them for the insane amount of 'forced truth-telling'?)
and then this month's was fucking awful, so the game might go back to getting really shitty events.
Re: DUPLICITY
(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 08:49 am (UTC)(link)i saw someone give feedback years ago and they were told that the game would never become plot driven and the mod team work from the perspective that it's a sandbox where there are sometimes events. it explained a lot about their attitude. i wish this was made clearer to players because i bet a lot of people would never have apped knowing they were apping to a sandbox game.

If the reason why they nitpick or outright deny plot suggestions is because they view and/or use it was a sandbox, they need to come out and say it. Or hand the game over to a group who want to make it better, but neither will ever happen.
Re: DUPLICITY
(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 09:40 am (UTC)(link)but the lack of transparency from the mod team to the playerbase is what takes it from 'fair enough, it's your game' to 'hey, what the fuck'. the premise is completely misaligned with how the game's run.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 10:45 am (UTC)(link)if you were hoping to do that, you joined the wrong game. this has been an established fact for 5 years.
Re: DUPLICITY
(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 11:57 am (UTC)(link)if they put the word "sandbox" in the premise or made it clear in the game pages that characters can't do anything it would save a lot of time and frustration
Re: DUPLICITY
(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)if you don't know anyone in game, you don't know how bad it is
and until you're in game, it's also easy to think that it's just irate players complaining about not being able to do what they want, or exaggerating
