Well another turn in and yet more of the same ..... 1st score 6100 and this one 12320 .,... sure would like to get them posted ......can i please get some help .... this is pretty silly ...why cant i get my score submitted ??? ...

getting fairly frustrated at this whole "metaverse" crap ... :notsure: :notsure:

Time for you to send an [email protected] to Support.

BAH .. dont care that much fo the headache ... just wanted to SIMPLY see what my score looked like in bright lights ...

ill just go back to my hole here and continue to play for fun .....

laterz

i have had more time with the game and actually the game is more like 1/4 th complete and SUXX ... i think the only thing that waqs developed was the AI ... because EVERYTHING else is lacking ,,, the UI is the worst i have ever seen ,,,,there is no way to manage the game even just a little bit into the game ....way to much info to deal with and its all placed on a very very shoddy UI .. very poorly done ....


Sure wish i could get my money back for this one .....

i enjoyed the game at 1st ,,,,, but the overall is a 33 out of a 100 ... needs lots of work ... LOTS....

Stardock will not be apart of my future gameing purchases.....

very frustrated at what looks to be a great game done up very poorly ...

Hmmm...you are of course entitled to your opinion. However, it seems there are quite a few satisfied customers out here (I am one of them). It appears you prefer more fluff (pretty UI) and less of a real challenge (the only thing that waqs (sp) developed was the AI). I am quite happy with the UI, myself.

Perhaps you could go buy MOO3. I have heard many people say it looks really pretty.

haha funny guy ,,,,,,

I empathize with you absolutely (makes me a bit unpopular at times around here) . . . As I read through this thread I can see your anguish escalate. Who could blame you for your resentment. It's like having to work the 'canteen' while everybody else is in the pool laughing and splashing around saying

'Come on in the waters beautiful' . . . (:(

I wish I could help . . .

agreeable....

but im still pourin the drinks ..

Nother game done score 13370 ... still not listed....but hey we knew that would be like that ... to bad i cant get these scores listed ... oh well ....

must say it does get frustrateing......

and i cant even get any help to fix the problem ,,, thats the kicker....its very typical of web sites wanting you to pay for services and yet cant even provide service for the unpaid portion of the service ,,, lmao ... just funny and frustrateing all at once....

Droid5150,

I'll agree with two of your points - that the Metaverse registration and score submission process is awkward and bizarre, and that the in-game graphics could use some work.

On the second point, I upgraded to Drengin.net recently and got access to the beta of the expansion pack. Many of the starmap graphics look a bit more finished now - stars and anomalies in particular.

If you think there's too much information to process and it's interfering with your gameplay, dig into the governors. Because you won't have to check your planets EVERY turn, using governors can streamline your game play quite a bit and let you focus on other things.

The fact that Stardock has come out with a product that's head and shoulders over the competition has caused many who post here on the Forums to use flowery phrases. This can really annoy people who are having problems, and you have my sympathies. It took me 2 weeks of swapping emails with Stardock before I was completely set up to use Stardock Central and submit games, and I ground my teeth together every time somebody patted them on the back in the meantime. But, they DID respond to my requests for help, and they DID get me through it. Before you pitch the game, why not try?

[email protected]

Thing is ,,, i have been .. i have not yet recieved any help. I can only send so many emails and so on ....

and just to clarify .. its not the game mechanics that are meddleing me up ... its the UI itself......the game is very simple to be honest .....its just that the UI is totally backwards..... and i use 3 governors ...

and i would like to say that over the past several yrs all experiences have been the same...and to date stardock is no different ... i have sent 2 emails and have gtten no reply or help or anythin ... just more of the same ......i had not intended to send them email ...as its always the same BS.... and now that i have i simply have proved myself correct .


I think for me the thing that really really gets me the most is that you say to your self ... "ok . Self... lets put some time into this game and get a score and get it posted, maybe even convese with a few others about the game and such"

but right now all self can say is " I TOLD YA SO DUMB ASS".........


and to top it off .... most of you think im talking about how "hard" the game is ... lmao ... umm no thats not at all what i refer to .... i trefer strictly to the interface between stardock and myself ........ namely the UI and then the score submission .......im not haveing trouble with game play mechanics or styles or ideas.... those are very well takein care of......the reason for the frustration is that im doing fairly well in those aeas and would like to get a score submitted then possibly join a group of people who enjoy the game in the way that i do .... but hell i cant get step one done ,,,,,,,and again i cant get any response fom stardock no matter what ...... just S.O.P.......

Hey Droid,
I really understand your frustration. I glad to see I'm not the only one having problems with this. I was beginning to feel like a bit of a dolt!

I've been trying for over a month and a half to get a game submitted. I finally did it yesterday and it also listed my first game from 2 months ago. But I don't know how I got it to work?!! I've posted asking for someone to explain the whole process clearly so that I don't have to go through the same thing all over again.

Name, nickname, player name and alias, this setup leaves a lot of room for confusion. Just using the same terms in the submission screen, the registration page and account info would go a long way to clear it up!

I love the game, but the metaverse could a little clarification/organization. :notsure:

Hey thnkx for the news .. i was really starting to feel that i was the only "dolt" around lol ...

i mean its obvious that poeople are turning scores in ... i would just like to know how .... no really i would ....

Yes that last post might get someone at Stardocks attention. But due to the language it may just get you exiled.

~SDC~

lmao that may actually be part of there plan ... piss people off so much that they post there feeling then bann them ... makes it very simple for the support staff im sure ....

it will soon be 3 months that i have started sending emails to support and postiing for help .... if you think getting exiled or whatever the hell, is my main concern...lol well you just arent with the flow then ...... all i want is a damn response from support staff ....... 3 MONTHS PEOPLE,,,,,, tell me you wouldnt be just a little frustrated .......

i took the advice of another and started saveing my games for a time when support would actually do there job .......i have done EVERYTHING on my end to be "good" about this .... but no more this is total bull shit .....3 months ..... 3 damn months ...... any one of you that would not be frustrated just speak up ..... heres all you ass kissers chance .....

Droid.
Do you have a genuine copy of the game?

Do you have a genuine serial number?

Have you registered with Stardock using the serial number?

Have you registered your player with the Metaverse?

If you have a pirated copy, then Stardock will detect this and ignore you.

If it is any consolation, I had problems when I started.
I received no replies to my e-mails, but the problems got sorted....In two days.

no i haqve a purchased copy ,,, and its been almost 3 months and no replys or nothin ,,,,,,,

Droid5150, I deleted your last post.  Profanity is not acceptable.  This site is here to support customers, but is not necessary to play the game nor is it an entitlement by the retail copy.  (That is why it is provided by the developer "Stardock" and not the publisher, which is "Strategy First")

Where have you been emailing?  There are absolutely *no* emails from you received by [email protected] *or* [email protected].  If you were to email support, you will get an automated reply (which we would also have record of) that says that your email will not be responded to if the answer is in the auto reply, and then gives instructions on how to contact support if you are still having issues and have not received a reply.

Your serial number is also not registered in our customer database, so you have either made a typo somewhere, or you have not updated your game.

Have you read the metaverse help? It's located at: http://www.galciv.com/encyclopedia.asp?action=showpage&page=http://www.galciv.com/metaverse_rules.htm

Also, I am not sure exactly what your issue is as you submitted a game yesterday....:notsure:

holly cow batman ... how the heck did that happen .... it has 4 games listed now ?? wow i dont care how ..... ima just say sorry and move on and thnk for whoever finally fixed the problem ..... thnk you thnk you thnk you ,,,,, ok i will post no more

See one of your other threads about flaming us to see that T-Man fixed your mistyped serial number......

If your going to flame us, at least keep it to one thread.  Three is a little annoying....

/me goes back to making IP address Voodoo dolls.....
