Who is happy they didn't buy it?

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 owners :p You'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?.

I for one am so happy I didn't fall for the scam and buy this game.

I just want to ask the Troll one question.

Why are you bothering to post on a forum for a game that you didn't buy.

Personally i'm quite comfortable with your decision not to buy this game, perhaps you're having second thoughts however.....

Maybe because I wanted to buy the game? Maybe because I wanted 2 decades for the game? Only to get the same treatment that SimCity gave people.

Always online is one of the worst if not the worst DRM imagine when the company abandons the game and you cant play it anymore? Guess what the original Elite still works today because it doesnt use this insane DRM.

After the major issues recently with games royally screwing us over I vowed never to back/preorder ever again and instead wait for release and see what happens.

Behold no offline single player? That is to me the alpha-omega of if I should get a game. I do not play online games (unless it is a MP session with a friend or two) I expected and was told by the kickstarter that this game WOULD work offline single player. Yet I see people crying that is not so.

I am extremely disappointed with Frontier on this not only did they break promises but they flat out lied.

They would NOT have gotton 1.5 MILLION dollars if they had told people *Hey this game is going to be online only even for single player* do you think that kind of bull works now a days? After what happened the new SimCity etc? NOBODY wants that sort of bull.

It makes me sad reading all the comments from people who are trying their best to get a refund because they got lied to.

Frontier has become nothing but $$$ greed and did not deserve the money they got.

Of course Frontier can change things go back to what was promised and make everybody happy again including me.

This is the kind of bull I expect from EA... Not Frontier not a game we waited about 2 decades for... For shame Frontier for shame.

Soooo... you're so happy that you didn't buy a game that you don't like and aren't interested in that you had to sign up on this forum and post just how uninterested you are in this game that you're glad you didn't buy?

Sorry, must go register with Pepsi now to tell them how I don't like their cola and am glad that I'm not drinking it.

Frontier already went on record stating that IF they were ever to pull the plug on their servers, they'd make the server code public, so people could host their own.

Quick question Sarah: Shouldn't you have a Frontier avatar? (Not really bothereing me, just curious ;o)
 
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along...

*plonk*

Go ahead and laugh it up but when you find yourself in a situation in near future were EVERY game is online only and there is nobody left to fight against it then something happens maybe hackers maybe a major crisis maybe a war maybe a solar what the hell ever and you find yourself unable to play your extensive game archive?

Just remember you asked for it.
