How has XenoThreat been for everyone else? This is frustrating.​

Awful. Struggle to find wrecks, finally find one and I can barely keep my gun equipped. My multi-tool or medical gun randomly gets equipped.
Run out of ammo, try and pick one up. It's randomly removed while I have it in my hands. Finally start grabbing some supplies and the event ends.
Bugged markers, so friendly players will randomly show up as red - leading to a lot of unintended friendly fire.
Basically zero flipping information how this works in-game, the comms where the lady explain what the cargo does is quiet and randomly cut off.
Abandoned player ships everywhere, which also show up as unknown signals? Making wrecks even harder to find.
The concept of the event is cool, but in its current state it sucks massively in every way.
But, I understand it's necessary to stress test the replication layer and whatnot.
I'll just rent a Prospector again and try to make enough money to one day try the Vulture...

This has been going on for years. Despite putting on the exact same “dynamic missions” for years, CIG can’t fix anything.

Why do they keep doing these stupid events when their game barely works?

What's the point of running these events when they already know that the servers are the choke point? What usable data could they really be getting from this?

Haven’t even tried it because I assume it would be EXACTLY like it has been every single time in the past, an absolutely unplayable mess

i wonder if there is some point at which they can’t ever fix the bugs in code developed over so much time without just starting over.

Ran worse than ever, so happy CIG updated the event...

Playing at 15fps suck.

Imagine fantasising about a clunky 15 fps gameplay. That's how far we ve got

"Why do they keep doing these stupid events when their game barely works?"

Because people keep stupidly throwing money in the same stupid firepit hoping different results

But why would they ban testers from reproducing potential exploits? This is what testing is.

Remember when CIG said they prioritize not fixing bugs because players knows to avoid them?

Well, they couldn't be truthful and say they prioritize not fixing bugs because they don't know how to avoid them

Why do people keep playing this crap and saying it's good?

So many mysteries.

Is there a demo of Star Citizen I can download?

No but during some special "free to fly" events, you can fly every ship available.

It is one, seamless universe -> the game is the demo, the demo is the game.

Why are we necro-ing posts from 2020?

(Is it because SQ42 is about to enter beta testing? )

True that!

True


True that!

To be fair, they have not released the roadmap to the price change yet, so all good.

Yeah, maybe Viajero is right and they just have no clue. Other devs do it, so CIG must do so too.

Various weird mass deaths occurring.

A guy who was 1km away died during this one...

(Then Berks ended up in space with no UI)

 

[metatheurgist]

Hahaha. The bugs in this game are so great. Hahaha.

Rumor: Some of those who were using the exploit that led to suspensions were allegedly selling the credits for real world money.

And this is why some online games make it hard for players to directly trade money, to stop this sort of thing.

Yes, but these games work usually decently. I mean what else can you use SC for? Self-flagellation? That's a very limited audience. But probably avery dedicated one, I grant you that.
