Clarifications from the developers

If dynamic growth causes lag, why not add in an option to use the lower graphics? Im only using a iphone 4s and it cant handle the high graphics, so its realy laggy. And also maybe make small updates like every 2 weeks instead of making super large updates every 2 months so that its easier to fix bugs and add in small and important stuff. Yes it is harder to add the big stuff this way like 3rd campaign and balancing of all weapons and gear but i would rather have a stable and little content than a laggy unstable game with so much content that you cant even use because of the lag.


Heres my suggestions for those:
Armor- its either the armor gets nerfed and also weapons like agb,solar weapons and laser minigun gets nerfed as well or all the weak weapons like rambos rifle, marksman, swat rifle gets upgrades so that they are as strong as the hellraiser and laser minigun. And of course their upgrades are gonna be expensive.
Survival- 1 wave=1 gem and that should fix it? And also for multiplayer 1 win=1 gem.
Mech- you should die when your mech gets destroyed and also you respawn with mech until the timer runs out so when you fall off a edge when using the mech, you wont be like aww sh*t i just wasted 10 gems (although i dont use mech). And also add mech mode (infinite mech on a new map) so new players can have the same gear and fight higher level players even if they dont own armor and all the good guns.
Yes i know all this takes lots of time so rilisoft dont rush the updates because there will be lots of bugs and lag so take your time making these updates.

Ok about the upgrades of Rambo and Marksman that's a definite no as they are pretty much beginner to "meh" players
The survival thing will give you gems but we want coins! So 1 coin every wave while every 5 waves give you 2 gems?
The mech timer thing? NO IF YOU DIE TOO BAD END OF STORY.
 
Thanks Rilisoft, for helping us understand the game more. I have a few suggestions.
How about making a mode kind of like a tower defence or siege, where you try to protect a nexus from unlimited waves of enemies, and also try to include enemies that walk faster and can shoot back.
Thank you for reading this.
 
Rilisoft should fix all the problem and also rebalance, nerf and removing Overpowered items before relasing new things.

Dear friends! It’s time to break the silence and answer the most urgent questions on Pixel Gun 3D

1. New updates are so laggy, why don’t you return to the older versions strategies?

Remember how Pixel Gun 3D started? It was a very minimalistic, simple game. It was very good, there was no lagging. But there were few modes, few players, so we needed to go further.
The game has become bigger, much more dynamic and creative. Unfortunately, dynamic growth cause such side effects as lagging, but we’re constantly working on fixing them.


2. Why did you add all this new stuff, when the old features needs improving?

Constant evolving is our priority. That’s why we add new features. Some of the decisions might seem ambiguous at first, but we give them a chance and collect the feedback. Well-proved things will stay, others will be improved or gone.


3. Why don’t you add/remove the things that we suggest?

We do, all of the time! The point is that a single feature can’t be changed immediately. That’s a very complicated process that needs a well-thought introduction plan.
We’re reading your reviews very attentively, all of them are considered and listed into a special doc, which is being updated every day and read by every member of our team.


4. Why don’t you do something with GEMS?
We’re actually working on gem system reformation. We are willing to add new ways of getting gems. We just need a little time for creating better strategies.


It’s hard to describe how much we appreciate your contribution to the development of the game. Thank you. Stay with us so we can build the future of Pixel Gun 3D together!

sure... :rolleyes: i believe you NOT you only make the game worse when you update this game.
people actually liked it properly back in the older updates.
the only people that Really play the game are noobs and daters.
I'll believe you when you actually try to make it a better game when the next update is actually Good.

actually read some of the rant threads about this game, eg: the one i posted on your profile.

Sorry for being mean but Rilisoft didnt answer these questions.
Why did you make armor 10x stronger AFTER people asked to remove it? You increased the max armor value from 6 to 40 and now 50?! You made everyone so tanky, now you have to buff all the old guns so that they can kill people in ruby armor. Nice, now you have more work to do balancing all the weapons, and thats your own fault.
Adding gems in the game is ok for a free game, but why did you make EVERY gun cost gems now? And you didn't make ANY way for lv 26 players to get gems other than the useless daily reward system that dosent work. If you want to make a 2nd currency, at least make a way of getting them in the same update...
Why did you add turrets and mech?! Are you drunk or something? I mean thats cool and all but thats basically giving hackers more power so that its harder to kill them. And guess what? They cost gems so nobody can use them.
Yes we should look at the good side of the updates but the amount of 'good' things are so little i would rather play in the 7.1.1 version. Some of you havent started pixel gun at that time yet, but in that version, although it has little content (the amount of content is still the same now) at least everything is well balanced and its always the top 10 game in the app store. You guys made the game worse.

Okay, first of all, let's bury the hatchet.
Right at this very moment we're working on a couple of balancing ideas that you might actually like. Details later
The gems will be dealt with, as was stated before.
Hackers usually lack skills, and we're going to ban the damn out of them anyway. Daters are an ambiguous phenomenon, but they are quite easy to deal with, at least

The friend/clan list bug is caused by servers breaks. At the moment servers are very unstable - that's why some players have the friend list working perfectly, others don't. Every working day starts with this issue

Ah, yes. And I still wonder why snow was implanted, when it says "Summer Update".

Yep, that's may seem a little bit odd. The snow will definitely melt till the net update

Unstable servers? That makes sense. Trying to write a game where all clients agree on the shared state of the world is, to use a technical term, REALLY HARD. Not only that, but considering this is a first-person shooter, you and the rest of the development team must both pay to run servers (which have to deal with client-side prediction and latency compensation, if memory serves me right) and write the code for having a separate server determine the state of the game world during matches (which is no walk in the park also).
In short, you guys are having a tough time balancing server maintenance, bug fixes, and new content. I can respect that. I can also tell that the community gives you WAY more criticism than it should for a team of now 41 developers (more devs to pay, still no ads? You're too kind. (´･ω･`) ) to develope a first-person shooter. However, do not worry. A good portion of us still recognize effort when we see it.
You just continue improving the game. We'll continue our support. You can count on it. ( ^▽^)
 
I kind of knew some of this stuff already, because when you're a game developer, you have to find the root of the problem in the scripts (those long, complicated sentences that controls events in a game), you get too much feedback from people (one of the reasons why Rilisoft didn't start on the third world in Campaign), and remember, you're not dealing with AAA game developers here (Rockstar Games, EA, Nintendo, Square Enix, etc. are AAA game companies). Just let Rilisoft do their thing, and be patient. All problems will be fixed eventually...
 
LISTEN UP RILISOFT! I JUST UPDATED THE GAME AND EVERY TIME I CLICK IT IT JUST GOES BLACK SCREEN! I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME! AND BTW, YOU BETTER REMOVE GEMS OR AT LEAST MAKE THEM A LOT EASIER TO GET!
