Elite Dangerous | Ascendancy Update 1 - Thursday 21st November

[Deamawa]

I have no idea about the other games, although I suspect the rose-coloured glasses are on WRT them also...
So, you are suggesting that NMS was perfect when released, and that every update has been flawless? (I've only had NMS 8 years, and memory serves that even the 1st update adding Vulkan was bugged to eternity & back)

Maybe FDEV should have more time in the first place. Crashes in Germany as usual....

I must be lucky then, because I've been online gaming way before that, and never played anything that used that phrase.

WoW patch days were fun...

"The effort of using machines to mimic the human mind has always struck me as rather silly. I would rather use them to mimic something better."

This one describes elites' galaxy perfectly! Now you all can grumble all you want, to me the difficulty in getting it right is just a sign of how complicated it is to do ... Asides from the obvious, 'No Mans Sky', has no sky that is worthy of mention!

"But they're not perfect. No company can hope to replicate every single combination of software, hardware, and drivers that exist out in the wild"

but the problem isn't OUR end. its server-side. something they can control and get right. you'd think...

You mean that Everquest knock off.

Seems like the balancing is already happening - see the reports about ship scanning buffs, for instance. There is apparently no need for patches to tweak the merit numbers, the update deals with stuff that actually need a client update, like fixing the dupe exploit or the CTD of the strategic view.

So are there patch notes or any other information that tells us what has now changed? I don't understand if FDEV have now made changes to the balancing what are they and how do i know?

Cursory google search for WoW. Post dated 2009: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/682697-Why-is-Blizzard-never-ready-for-Patch-day

Many formerly wanted paintjobs are still missing from the web shop. It's a bug in whoever is pushing the buttons in there.

Seems not.

That's for Frontier to know and for the players to find out. Watch the usual channels - this forum, reddit, the streamers - to see the reports how merit earning changed.

They haven't. They have said they are looking at it.

So, you need a meta to feed another meta all while FD is trying to decrease metas.

ahaha: metaception!

 

[Wily Rites]

I bet there are more folk wanting to connect at the moment now too, due to the power play being set at this moment... "Did all my undermining do it; Should I have stayed up last night getting it done???".

 

[Helmut Grokenberger]

They haven't.

They have.

Merit gains may have been buffed across the board on this.

Maintenance has been extended 2 hours ... (2 hours later) ... Maintenance has been extended 4 hours ...

Sad... but typical.

 

[Wily Rites]

Wow 20 merits just for scanning a ship, this is awesome!

 

[drakkster2025]

Any other changes besides weekly assignments? I though they would reduce the amount needed to get modules but it looks like nothing has changed
