Give the DEVS a break - It's nearly Christmas & New Year!
- Thread starter Scurrah
- Start date
I've not encountered any real game breaking bugs, just player error ... the game plays as I expected it to but then again I wasn't an Alpha, Beta or Gamma supporter
STOP COMPLAINING!!!
No one is complaining! Get a job so you understand what the real world is like!
There is only one point when people stop complaining about issues they see in a game, and that is when they no longer care and no longer play.
Certainly not a day I'd look forward to if I were the devs.
I work at a school, one of the hardest jobs in the world!
Me get a life, you're playing ED to escape from it much the same as I am
Touché

If you haven't encountered game breaking bugs, great. A whole lot of other people have. It's already known that trade, system faction changes and reputation is all broken. These things need to be fixed ASAP. The "stop complaining" attitude doesn't help anything.
Words fail me. I pretty sure you think they all worked 9-5 and with weekend off the last few weeks.

My work place doesn't give me a break except for Christmas and new years, why should they be so special? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're doing what they're doing... really, I think the OP just doesn't have a job.
Being quite experienced in the world of video game development, I can tell you... before Christmas releases most game devs do not have a life.
They need to keep their previous pace to get the game breaking bugs fixed ASAP. The game isn't in a state right now that would allow them to take it easy in the coming days.
Hate is a pretty strong word.

Actually, there is not much wrong with the game. I have a lot of ---------> FUN <---------- playing it.
Meanwhile, I am quite sure that they have a strategy for keeping things going over the Christmas holiday. But, some of the comments here are worthy of video game industry 'bosses from hell'.
let them take more than just Christmas off, I would like them to take a good month off, relax have some thinking time, then come back, and spend another month slugging out all of the bugs, and then come the time, hit us with a real patch, these band-aids have been nice, but we need more substance, and that takes time, so take the rest of the year off Fdev and come back fresh and ready to win the good fight!
I don't think any of you know how the real world works... Do you think the magical money fairy is going to pay them a salary for your mythical month off?
In my day, we used our imagination......If your imagination is so good, why have you got that expensive GPU and a HD screen then grandad?
I believe what will pay their salaries is this amazing thing called sales, which is happening this very second with no input from anyone at their office.....aslong as sales stay steady they should be good for a while.
You have just confirmed my suspicions, thanks. I physically face palmed if you think this is how developers are paid. They have hours just like everyone else.
As they say "It's not personal Sonny, it 's strictly businnes."

+1 to you OP..
I usually stay in the background of forums sifting through all the chatter to glean the info I need to stay up to date with a brand new (reboot) of a franchise.
I suspect the OP here came up like I did when there were no forums to 'help' bug-test an endevour like we have right in front of us now.
I've been burned before (anyone remember derek smart?) and I just took it in stride as there were alot of choices back then. This is the time frame that spacesims died out.
ED is epic in a spacesim after a dry run of decades. I think I'll hang out for awhile and see what happens.
Elite D and Star Citizen will define how true spacesims will be received in the coming years and I'm not going to contribute to instant gratification needs while this evolves.
Hat's off to you DEV's, keep doin it.
yeah, fairly confident they have paid allotted leave like the majority of the civilized world.
