If you've not done them before then it will certainly keep you occupied for a long time
Gonna sound cynical and snarky but unlikely LOL
Haha, fair. I should have clarified that it was debate among people trying to work out the Guardian Ruins in the Canonn Discord
nah, you were fine with the original comment, it was just low hanging fruit that someone had to grab and tease with
Pretty sure support had always actually confirmed it was intentional ever since the release of Odyssey, so them changing it back now is a reversal of their previous stance.Haha, fair. I should have clarified that it was debate among people trying to work out the Guardian Ruins in the Canonn Discord
As it changed without warning and hasn't been acknowledged by Frontier in any way up until today when they said it was fixed, there was no way of knowing if it was an intentional change and what implications that might have.
Saying there are only two types is unreasonable, bordering on dismissive.
It wasn't happening since the release of Odyssey, it happened with either update 10 or 11 - a little bit over a year ago. Support never confirmed it as intentional, it was ignored completely (which is completely in line with how ED bugs are typically handled and why a lot of people joke about playing "bug or feature?")
Well thanks for the apology. But I wasn't "White Knighting" (which by the way is a stupid derogatory name you really shouldn't call people who have a different point of view from you).
Whilst i am looking forward to Thargoid ground combat i was hoping we would see more Thargoid toe to claw combat than the star wars "attack of the clones" action. Yes i haven't seen the new drones up close but it does seem that Thargoids are very elusive at present
With respect there are way more than two types of folks in ED.
Whilst ED is an amazing space sim and is probably one of the best out there its not the only one. I do like ED as I have stated before the half done features (not because of time constraints but some other 'imaginary' issue that caused them to be half done) I would have like to have seen them completed. ED is a nice game and one that is always installed on my PC's but I do find myself playing it less now after odyssey than I did previously.
I've never played a game that is exactly what I want, including all the ones I've bragged on in this forum. Surely there's a bug you'd like fixed or a feature you'd like to see added or tweaked. That doesn't mean you can't keep defending Elite (I defend a game with a horrible UI and sometimes mind-numbingly stupid AI). In fact, I think you'll have more credibility in defending the game if you're not claiming it's perfect just the way it is. My favorite defenders of Elite are the ones who also have some downright damning critiques of the game. And defend Elite they do! I still have the scars to prove it, LOL.
I love elite, and could white knight for it all I wanted.
Never said it was perfect but it is still exactly what i want to play, it has everything, im never stuck for anything to do and unlike SC (which i very rarely log into now) i hardly ever get any crashes or bugs.
Well, I'm guessing you're okay if the game becomes more of what other people want* over time, since the longevity of the game depends on the popularity of the game - as in, it needs to make money for Frontier, a burden you alone cannot carry. Again, this doesn't mean you can't defend it, but I fail to see the harm in allowing others to request features or even vent about a bug that bothers them. We both agree that the fleet carrier "fix" to the system map in this update is wonderful, and I'll argue that it might not have happened if players weren't allowed to gripe about the previous state of the system map in busy systems full of fleet carriers. You yourself said, "for ME it keeps getting better and better." Surely this is in part due to people not accepting Odyssey of last year, but instead requesting (albeit sometimes in "gripe format") the improvements that have since came, including this update that everyone loves so much. If we all just said, "It's exactly what I want right now, no need to add or change anything!" would Frontier continue to pump out these updates? Maybe, but maybe not.
I think for some the caveat at the end has already passed with Horizons for some and definitely odyssey for others, for die hards elite was always a space combat game where you were a space fighter pilot or space trucker of sorts now its a jack of all trades master of none.
I think I understand what you are saying. I'm personally not looking for new things to do in Elite, but rather the enhancement of existing things to do that currently feel half-baked or otherwise unfinished, or just could use some "improvement" based on my experience playing other similar space games. That includes big concepts like PowerPlay and more explorable planets, along with small little UI fixes like the just-added fleet carrier stacking. You'll not see me anywhere complaining about lack of hand-to-hand combat with Thargoid ground troops, as I really have no interest in that in a game like Elite.
