You're definatly not the only one to be a "little disappointed" about certain elements of what Elite Dangerous became, yet still?
For all the annoyances and things we don't like about it, there's many many more positive elements to it.
I thought it wouldn't, yet I -really- tried to close my eyes to what bugged me about ED ,and I found ...I'm definatly getting many of the good feelings I had when playing Frontier all those years ago.
We get to visit starsystems far far away ,ones we can see in our own nightsky. We can trade and fight, we've gotten more control over our starships than we ever had in the past (we can use trusters! ^^) . It's a joy to fly, to land to do starship acrobatics.
ED is frustrating and it's fun. By not not giving up on the game, by being a backer from day one and engaging in the community, perhaps (maybe a vague hope) we can urge Frontier Developments add the things we miss (and feel better about ourselves by making them remember the things we -do- want them to add or change).
The game is online only, but I can live with that, as the game itself is enjoyable.
I think too many people got their hopes up early during Kickstarter, I think it was a bit on the optimistic side to think every player got every one of their wishes heard. Guess you like many got bitter due to seeing those hopes not coming true.
Frontier Development is a company , companies' purpose is to earn money for its employees and ownersYou'd be silly to think otherwise. Still I imagine most the Developers there like what they're doing and creating, (even if I imagine not everyone in the company can agree on all decisions)
....From reading you're post ,I'm guessing you're -really- upset Ufox.
Wow they ripped my post up and moved it to some obscure location and merged it with some random *ignore me topic* I thought they were being bad about the whole thing but this just takes the cake... wow just wow... First lie to people then silence critics?.
