Anything particular i should do after waking up? My post (kind of) implies that i woke up and lost hope in June, while you seem to have woke up few days ago. Good morning! It just isn't my game (yet, maybe) i realized in June. I'll give this "project" a year, or whatever time it needs. In any case hundred quid i pledged was a gamble from the get go and I realize fully there is no one but me to blame for that. Not everything happens the way you want it to. You can go and file a lawsuit now if you feel like it, but count me out.
No Single Player offline Mode then?

I also totally agree with this.
If you were reading this for 5+ hours you could figure out why solo online mode is also unnacceptable and problematic for people who can not play the game every day for a few hours.
you have failed to read Brabens Q&A thread in recent days then. He has explained that periodic snapshots can/will be taken of server states so that, if such a time came, it could be ported wherever it needs to go.
And I was told I'm exaggerating, and people are not attempting coersion and bullying tomget their way
Go right ahead Gazmoid. People like that what they have to be prepared for anyway. Don't be too surprised if you get timeouts, and eventually placed in a griefers-only private group, no matter which option you pick when logging in.
If attempting to ruin other people's day is what you feel you must do, then you must. Me, I would sell my account to somebody not against playing online.
Turns out GOG.com is owned by CD Projekt RED, apparently.
Makers of "The Witcher" series.
Which is selling pretty well, I think.
Without DRM.
You have failed to understand that people do not believe him.
Yes, and its not likely to be impractical or anything

Just got this message right now aswell.
I wonder how people have come this far if their outlook is to disbelieve everything someone says. Surely they wouldn't even be playing the game?
Unless this is just another promise he will fail to deliver on later with some poor excuse.
Hehe. There's no way I'd do this. I've been served with this during the beta ( deliberate crashing etc ) .. This isn't how I want the game at all but there are already people doing it. It not my thing but it is legitimate and very Elite. Pirates ? Mercinaries ? We have kill people missions. Me personally I like to trade and do missions and explore and all of this I can do in the previous games in a gameplay deeper way then ED is offering. I'm just bitterly disappointed.
Great graphics though whilst they last.
I just wanted to make a point.

Actually they did believe him when he said there "will" be an offline mode. They are not likely to make the same mistake again now are they?
I am a kickstarter backer, a group that is directly responsible for the Elite : Dangerous and this forum even existing. It was Frontier that committed to supporting offline play that convinced enough of us to back the project at the last hour -- they almost didn't make it.
David Braben is trying to convince you that what he describes as "solo" is what others have in mind with the term "single-player". When in fact, David Braben's "solo" is only a thin veil over the "multiplayer" experience; that veil is that you don't ever see other player ships but you do have to deal with whatever effects they have dished out to the multiplayer world. There is no pause. There is no continuity between weekend play.
I hope I am wrong about it, but it is sounding more and more likely that Frontier doesn't have a viable AI implementation and therefore were forced to merge all human players together in an attempt to mask it and make their release deadline.

Yes, I said most of the games they're selling ... one "major" and few minor dev companies selling their products without DRM is nothing new.
- We believed him.
- That proved to be an error that cost us a not insignificant amount of money and grief.
- We learned.

Well,
This is disgusting.
Basically you invest loads of time and money supporting and helping to test a game and then you are treated as if they have helped you, or given you something for your money even though the game you helped test is not yet released. The game you were promised and wanted to play will not be delivered unless the servers go down. If you didn't support or help test the game but did pre-order then you can have a refund.
I just honestly do not understand.
Steam gave refunds to at least a few people who bought X:Rebirth shortly after release, because it was released in an essentially unplayable condition. You had to jump through a few hoops to get there, but refunds were given. A game has to be in pretty bad shape, or seriously misrepresented by the developer before Steam will do this, though.
Solo mode, or joining a nice PvE group like Mobius has put together. It's not hard.
Ideologues who can't stomach not freely copying the game, or the thought of playing in mild iron man (no save & load) can't unfortunately be helped here.
If you just want to avoid playing with others, solo mode is just fine and gets you the Elite of 2014 with a living universe where your actions matter and have consequences.
