Overtime does not need a tweaking, it needs to go.

And perhaps, no disrespect to Ekanaut, but maybe if a customer service/pr person was handling this instead of the art director there would be less frustration from the customers.

You guys know Uber is only a 16 person team and not a single one of them is a customer service/pr person. Just some people that wanted to make a game.

well maybe they should get a consultant or something. If you are going to directly interact with the customers, you need someone that knows how to do it.

And to think everyone was commending Uber on being a Dev team that actually interacts with it's fan base. Now it seems like everyone want them to turn into every other big company.

Is it just me or are the tides starting to change towards Uber and their "awesome" game?

It looks that way in a few areas but I don't quite understand why. The people complaining about the patch not being released yet can be ruled out completely but all of this stuff I have no idea.

My opinion hasn't changed at least. A company made a great game and are trying to make it better, what's so bad about that? 16 people can't cover a entire forum without cutting into work or off time. It's also somewhat funny that if you defend Uber now people call you a fanboy of sorts which I assume I am because I love their game so...Either way, lot's of complaining going on lately.

Note- The above is not aimed at anyone in this thread and stands as a broad generalization of the forum at large.

Amaranth, you are really not helping. You've made some good posts on other topics, but with all due respect.... shut up.

Ekanaut is however trying to help.

I think most of are edging toward restless on this patch. I don't know how feasible it would be.... but perhaps if we had a chance to read current news it would hold us over (perhaps something of a developer's blog/journal). But I wouldn't blame you if all we get for a while is silence.

Thanks for the feedback guys. You're right I came off like a **** and I apologize. I'll try to keep my answers more focused on the issues on hand.

If you're looking for constructive criticism, I'd say drop the "ball automatically drops" part of overtime.

Right now overtime means buy juice, ignore everything in their base and hit the ball.

I say we plan a holiday for the day the patch comes out.

Everyone grab a pizza and cold one, well all be united again under our love for the game.

If there was no auto-shield drop, overtime would need to be a little longer. I've never seen a game end in two minutes.

Amen to that, brother.

I understand your job there is art director, and your training/schooling/experience is art and working with artist which doesn't translate into customer support. I greatly appreciate that you are at least interacting with the consumer and trying to do what you think is best for both the company and keeping the fans in the loop without over selling or ruining any surprise. I still really enjoy the game and have hopes for great things to come out of Uber.

I'm really starting to hate the people on this board and it truly is pretty hard to hate people. The Devs work hard on this game and they have every right to do as they please. They never once intended to taunt us.

Some of us may never agree with what the Devs decide but they still have the right to make the game as they want. Also, I doubt I will ever like the concept of Overtime but if by some chance you make it fair, I will make a new thread in which I make a detailed apology to each of the Devs that posted here

overtime's intention is to end the game quickly, which is why it's OP

A little late bro. And it doesn't end the game quick because you have 15 minutes before it. It just allows for bad teams to drop the ball without any work.

A lot of the people on this forum are quick to argue and attack anyone against their own ideas (but it's the internet, I shouldn't expect anything else), and it's really disappointing. The devs do work hard to deliver a very fun game with such limited resources, and I applaud them for it. And even though sometimes they seem to avoid or talk down to us, they are genuinely listening to us. They're even willing to apologize to us, which is awesome. Some of the posters here should calm down and listen to what others have to say, and at least consider all options.

Back on topic, I don't really like overtime either. But most of my concerns are based off the juice issue, and that is another problem so I won't talk about it here. I don't think that overtime should go because otherwise, how else would we end completely tied games?

Well OT would end ties and wins would end normally.

I must not read your posts close enough. You only want to get rid of overtime for games that don't have a clear leader?

If OT is going to happen, then it should settle ties. That is my belief.

My opinion may have swayed a bit throughout this thread

I am totally up for that idea.

It's a good thing that your opinion can be changed. It means you're willing to hear and understand what other people have to say.

Ya, that was the intent of this thread. I wanted to hear others opinions on it. I still don't like OT and I don't think it should take shields down but I kinda understand now that the point of the game is to take down the MB before Overtime even starts.
