I started playing Fonline roughly around the beginning of September, and Fonline was the bomb. These timers have just made it so slow and (real life) time consuming. I mean ya we don't want people becoming super rich gods and all that. But that's already happening. I hear of people watching youtube while waiting for craft supplies because of gathering timers (and then there's the crafting timers). It takes too long to get weapons,ammo,armor and it can go so fast (RIDICULOUSLY FAST). Also this game isn't the greatest animation ( take the world map travel for example) you sit there looking at a screen for a good while just staring at a dot slicking across the map slower than S@$#. Which is another annoying thing that only presses more on the timer crap. I'm only posting this now because the game was bomb than all of a sudden these timers just made stop playing the last few days. Have there been any thoughts of other kinds of changes for these subjects?as I'm sure they've been mentioned before.

I'll give you some advice:  Let it go and find another game.  And you are correct in that what you are alluding to has already been mentioned before.  Which is why I'm giving you the advice.

Read this thread if you didn't check it out when it was posted

Gave it a try, again

I really liked alot of what was said in this thread but it seemed like his ideas were shot down without ever getting a chance to fail ingame.I laugh now whenever i see someone say how it's still beta.What better time to give something like this a try?

[Ari Lazarus]

I was about to write a really long-winded reply but yeah. Read through Bubba's excellent thread. Read and weep.

[Hertz]

yea i just saw the post. its sooo time consuming its rediculous. I'd give a warm welcome to all new comers to the waitlands. But i doubt they even stay long enough to get to the point of being annoyed of wasting time with timers.

[gordulan]

well, you can always be on the forum, writing posts and stuff like that when you're traveling, and come onto the game when the screen flashes.

[Nice_Boat]

It's not really about the timers. PvP is like that too. I find myself having FOnline open and just doing something else while alt tabbing and performing one or two clicks every 10 or 15 minutes. Right now it's not really a game you "play", it's more of a browser game where you do a few actions per day and you're done.

I have to say you are right.
I tried for months to adapt myself to this game but now I'am really fed up about all that. This is only a "no-life game" now and this is not anymore a MMO roleplaying game, this is just a MMO game...
I'm not telling that developers don't do anything because they are doing a lot of works and brang a lot of features to the game. But I think that they don't have the same point of view than players because playing casually to this game is not the same that players that have played for months.

So, dear developers, you are doing a great job on the game part but I think we should now seriously discuss about MMO part

PS : And I think the game could be more pleasant if players would stop insulting each others (or if they would stop hacking accounts and other things...)

Devs. Try play this game and enjoy some fun.
Right now it is only "push, wait 5 hour" and again. I dont know where i have FUN from this game ?
I go gather some resources and after this i can be on internet for next 6 minutes or 5 hour.
Really, this is not fun.

Im levelling my BB Gun sniper build, its fun

As for crafting speed, its still not slow and there is still masses of stuff on the server. The irony of people standing in their $100k+ bases in BoS CA, armed with an Avenger, surrounded by countless CA, Metal Armours, Ammo, Guns and then complaining about *having* to stand there during a timeout always seems funny to me.

Content takes a long time to produce. Now apply the fact that all of us work in our spare time and for nothing and it takes even longer. Having endless threads about how we suck does not insprie us to sink yet more of our spare time into working, funnily enough.

If you change your mindset from accumulating endless amounts of wealth to actually finding enjoyable things to do with other players I'm sure you will enjoy it more. Meanwhile, I'm going to make more rat head's explode until my char is advanced enough to join TC and shoot miniguns out of people's hands  

[gordulan]

ha, sweet diversion tactic solar, and i never knew that the devs actually played the game as it is meant to be played

[Lexx]

I have my own character too, but I am not very active in the moment, due to not enough time.

My other Char is a level 21 PvP that has a fortune in the bank, has lost its tent (and tonnes of BoS Armour, Pancors, Psycho) due to moving house and having no internet and a level 3 profession! It would happily compare to any of the "serious" PvPers chars, aside from being a member of VC, not a player gang.

The BB Sniper (BBS! Thats what it stood for!) is somewhat ... slower ... to level however

We stay in our bases because crafting is too slow and we don't want to loose hours of work...

This is not a thread about how you suck (at less for my post). We know that you are working hard on this game but we are beta testers and we don't want you to work on the wrong way because it would be a lost of time for you and for us. That's why we want to discuss about how is the game at the moment and what we should do to improve it.

[Solar]

Crafting is not slow at all. Crafting the highest tier of items is slow, because the highest tier of items is expensive.

You can craft $3900 an hour at level 3, add ontop of that TC, slaves runs, other quests very profitable encounters and weigh it against the very small amount of drain there is and you can see why people have so much stuff.
