The game was amazing, it just didn't deliver to where most people expected. It needed end game, and sadly they chose casual over committed. The casuals might pay the bills, but they don't last. It needed some more features, like a group finder which would have eased all the annoying solo people, it needed a community gathering area, and just overall more dungeons and activities at end game. I feel it will definitely have a resurgence at some point though.

We have no interest in transferring, but wonder if that means our Hagga Basin will dry up even more. There's maybe 6-7 significant bases in my Hagga Basin, with 2 of them being ours.
Doesn't really matter since we're not doing DD. I've got a friend who just made his first orni, he's slowly progressing to that point, looking forward to setting up a DD base w/ him when he gets to that point.
If/when we finally get a self-hosted Hagga Basin, I'd still be happy to start over and setup in my own that I can shut down whenever we're not actively playing.

New chapter 3 patch/update comes out on Feb 3rd. One nice thing is they are getting rid of taxes on bases, which honestly is good because you got double taxed in a way between fuel costs and paying money.

'lets rebuild the base' 
Original base ends about halfway up the pillar there, you can see the original hangar we had split in half now that it's been re-staked to include the top of the pillar, heh. A lot of that 'deteriorating base' look is actually just scaffolding / doodling to establish limits. Kinda letting him do his thing and chipping in here and there, heh.

New dungeons are ok. It's easy getting to the boss but then the boss is pretty rough. Definitely need the augs to do tier 5 dungeons and have the right energy resistance equipped.
Headed in the right direction but still tons of work needs to be done. The fun part of the game was surviving and building but now the game abandons that in the end game for dungeon play.

The lansgrad revamp is good. The dungeons are a challenge in terms of the boss and melee is kinda fucked on bosses. Bosses don’t have shields so you mostly use guns to avoid aoe.
Leveling specializations will take time, but there are some low hanging value picks you can get fast. Like exploration 1 gets you another row of inventory, combat 1 is 3 skill points. Crafting and combat seem like the most important trees in terms of combat. Espionage has some combat perks too but they are more specific builds. Exploration has some vehicle buffs, including taking less damage and lower heat buildup which would be important for PvP. Resource tree has some nice stuff like bonus yields and faster refining - I have a feeling a lot of people will sleep on that tree outside of organized guilds. Atm I’m mostly splitting between crafting and combat leveling since those will offer the most immediate impacts for running dungeons

I haven't gone into the new dungeons yet, as I don't really like the boss fights in this game. Have been hitting Tyche and 2 of the others though. With 20 tasks done that's still good enough for my guild to be #4 on the server for our Landsraad contribution, as of yesterday, lol.

The boss fights in the new dungeons are a bit more traditional in terms of MMO-style boss fights. They have phases and mechanic and some will summon adds. The lightning boss guy kinda pisses me off, though. You can learn the rotating electricity patterns, but trying to reload or healing slows you down and it can fuck up your flow when you're also trying to dodge his disruptor pistol shots. Fire boss wasn't too bad, you just need to make sure you stay in the air in the 3rd phase when he starts turning the floor into a massive fire field and make sure you kill the adds fast.

Yeah, the best part really is the first 100 hours. In future openings of the map, they need to make no fly zones.
