You posted it yesterday..?
It is still possible to make bank when mining as long as you sell to non-saturated markets.
Restore missions can indeed be hit or miss; they've been working for me the last couple of months tho.
(as noted earlier one can check the map to see if the mission points to a valid target)
Settlements being empty can indeed be due to them having just been looted; relogging won't work anymore.
Devs will only know there is an issue if it is reported, either via support "Submit a request" or the issue tracker.
That wasn't the post I was referring to. It was a message to the FDevs. Letting them know. I was given a warning that I never seen until I logged in to the Forum. I was EXTREAMLY angry as everyone else was in January of 2020 when the mining nerf, and economy downgrade happened. Going from getting 500+ mill for a full 640 tons of painite to 59 million was a joke!
I totaly quit playing the game because of it. I didn't get back into the game until the Thargoid content and now with the Odyssey. I know I am late to the game. I just knew there would be changes. I let the new wear off. Shake out the bugs in a way. I find that may have been a mistake now. I am seeing conflicting videos that do NOT work now that was made just 8, 9, and 11 months ago. Content that if there was no action done by the FDev team it would still work. AND IT DOESN'T. So, they can fix glitches but they can't fix the problems with Power On missions. I don't understand that.
And as far as reporting an issue. Why does it have to be so convoluted and difficult. There is NO place anywhere that describes WHERE the ticket application is. Why not just have a stand alone page with a link that is labeled, Ticket reporting. Click that button and report your problem.
The whole reason I was going to the systems in "Recovery" was to get easy loot.
Every one of my other attempts to gain mats is MIND NUMBINGLY LONG and ridiculous.
They want me to do a mission for 2 or 3 mats? Get paid a ridiculously low payout when I could have just reloaded? Then they fixed it? WHY? They never fixed the data and loot for ship mats? Those all still work. Why fix this one? To be mean, selfish, and cruel?
Sometimes I just don't understand what the FDevs are doing with this game. It is like they are going through YouTube and fixing every glitch with Odyssey they can, because they are upset we found them.
They are proving they only care about making people spend 10x longer doing something that shouldn't take weeks or months.
At this rate I will never complete a Suit/ gear Engineer or upgrade anything. For the simple fact. I do NOT have the patients to spend the next MONTH doing those ridiculous things they want us to do to get Mats.
Why not have bartenders sell certain mats? Then you have to search for the ones you need. If you don't have the credits. Go earn them. Seems to me they are attempting to make the game harder and harder to even keep the casual player interested.
The way it is set up now. ONLY the most diehard player would go through the arduous task of collecting mats to unlock Engineers and upgrade their suits and equipment. I just don't care to invest that kind of time doing it. The time is not worth the reward to be frank.
They should have left the glitch in for those who WANTED to use it.
Other players that are the "realest" and call it cheating. No one is forcing them to do it. Just don't.
And the other problem I have with the game is. "Solo Play" DOESN'T mean single player instance. It is the most ridiculous and ignorant change the FDevs ever did. It only means you don't run into other players. REALLY? I know of no other game like this. Where "SOLO" is NOT truly "solo".
Why can we NOT have a stand-alone truly "single player" game that has no effect or is influenced by the LIVE servers?
I do enjoy parts of this game. I just feel they are attempting to force people into game loops that are ridiculous and extremely time consuming. To the point when new players discover the time, and reward. They will have to invest to get them.
They will quit playing.
Almost as it FDevs want people to buy the game but quit after they got their money. Now I watched an old video of a YouTube content creator who dumps on FDevs all the time. He did the crunch grind to get the mats when the glitches were still working. It still took him 27 hours of in game pay to get them and he was doing it the fastest way possible. That is CRAZY!
I would like to play the game not spend my time grinding! 27 hours "when" glitches worked. Now what would it be like 270 hours! STUPID!
