Am I the only one that hates it when these new versions come out? You spend months deveolping a successful strategy you like, earning medals and moving up in the metaverse, then they come out with a new version that messes everything up. The new ones always have lots of bugs, and they totally change the strategy, so it is like having to learn a new game all over again since all your old strategies are no longer effective. Also when a new version comes out they devalue your old metaverse scores so you feel you have wasted your time building it up. I have 47 games and wanted to continue using that character and get the medal for playing 50 games and keep improving, now since all those games scores will be reduced, and they are making the game harder, there is no point in keeping that character, because it will have so many low scores after the changes that you are better off starting with a new character and starting over so you are not penalized for your old games.
The change they have made where they average the skill of all the AIs togeather to determine the difficulty level, means you are better off not playing with more then one opponent at a time. Why suffer battling 9 races all set at Crippling, when you can get the same score for defeating only one character set at Crippling? And making it so you cannot have your starting world be near an opponent also screws up my strategies, as well as them making it harder to run an effective economy. I would have preferred if they had just had the version fix all the problems with the previous version and add more ship components and better alien dialogs and more options when talking to them, rather then changing how the game is played. Now we have a harder game that needs to be relearned and has lots of bugs again, and less enjoyable to play.
I don't know, I might just give up on it, and play other games, or just play it occasionally on easier settings just for the fun of it, and not submit my scores to the metaverse.
Getting totally discouraged, I think I will give up on the metaverse.
