Regarding the new GB3:
-In the past the Fleet War mode was implemented, it wasn't finished and it didn't work due to balance issues and some bugs. So it was lost job.
-I heard something in another update about they were working on op convoy too, what is a great idea (that game mode has a lot of fun and possibilities if you combine it with Fleet Vs Fleet format and a good balance system) but ... shouldn't they fix the previous Fleet War mode?
-And now it looks like they are working on GB3 ...
Lost job + Lost job + Lost job = nothing. Having different lines of work is good, but maybe they should focus the few resources they have in finishing jobs instead spreading themselves in a lot of things.
Also, about new game modes or adjustements in the current ones i think there should be A WAY to discuss it with players because i think certainly players know better the conditions in the game, regarding balance issues (like in the Fleet War mode), regarding exp issues or regarding what people like more or like less. That really would help to SDE to use the few resources they have on the game more effectively and run the game better.
But since there is nothing similar to a comunication with devs, about what they can do, what they can't do, what is easy for them, what is hard for them .. ect , then that's not currently possible.
About new players:
-Things like a dedicated default channel for low lvl players (like fleet channel or squad channel), things like a dedicated subsection on forums ("the corner of the newbie"?,lol), or things like encourage the posting of guides (with olive prices, yes, like other well-driven games do) maybe are good ideas for taking care of them, since the newbies are the future of this game and we want a future for this game.
-We propose these things, as many as a lot of suggestions, but as always we don't know if they reach the ears they have to reach, we don't know if they are considered or not, we don't know if they are "filtered" as noise, or we don't know if the comunication of TNF/GMs with SDE is as deficient as the communication of TNF/GMs with us, we basically don't know anything.
And finally, about the Fleet leader forums, maybe it's now time to realize what the loose of those forums represented for the community since maybe that wasn't very clear in its day. I hope if we finally have them back they don't get poissoned again.
I think they should have been the priority instead the Amazon project since it is well know for more efficiency is better to do the shortest tasks first, since that minimizes the waiting time. But for some reason that wasn't done, so one wonders about if there was/is a hidden or not-so-hidden reason for extending that waiting time. In that case that would be very, very, very unfortunate.
