The Revolutionary Jotunheim Resistance and the Ngadjal Situation - A plea for help from Frontier

Also, there's a bit of trickery here in terms of the Empire factions - just because factions have the same name doesn't mean they are the same faction. There can be more than one Empire Party, for example, even in the same system, and they do not share states because they are actually unrelated factions and reputations with one don't effect the other.

Yes, there are multiple minor factions with the same names but different reputation.

Im not exactly sure if a faction that belongs to the big Three counts as I minor faction.

AFAIK the only thing the major factions are are a color on the map and some parent reputation pool that is filled by doing stuff for minor factions and from which a base reputation is inherited from minor factions that you didn't encounter yet.
 
I'm not part of this effort to change the politics. My install crashes, when you run play elite dangerous. It's not drivers, it's not my GPU, I have a brand new quad core CPU and more than enough memory to run this. It's their software, which a forum member identified as the problem on January 10th.

Customer support told me almost two weeks ago they'd email me when it was fixed.

Good luck in waiting for a response...from anyone.

I'm sill in it for the long haul, I believe in the idea. But the lack of response smacks of Narcissism at the highest levels, where mistakes are not acknowledged, admitted, and taken care of, for paying customers, as a whole.

Some lucky few, have gotten some support, but once it was discovered that it was not on my end, that was it.

Good luck with the politics, I'm predicting no answers, no refunds, low player base morale, and new customers coming in, looking for the experience advertised but not delivered on all the videos we've all seen.

OBE, indeed.

I can't imagine how a company with 240 employees can not have people other than Michael here giving answers. Certainly their rep is swirling in coriolis fashion among many of the players here.


This might still be saved with some transparency, and honesty. Essentially we are all paying to play as bugtesters. So be it, let us know what needs tested, and we'll test the hell out of it.

Right?
 
Oh man, so happy they were able to look into that guy who traded up to 400M in assets and didn't get his Tycoon rank. Totally a better use of time than these supposedly "core" game mechanics. I think our mistake is that we are trying to play a multiplayer game and have some effect on the world. We really need to be going back to solo and stop trying to expand our horizons.
 
Wading through the forums, I found this. Don't know if it's of any use but from the sounds of things you have similar issues. (At least the Devs replied in that thread)

Yeah, I've been keeping up. As near as we can tell, it is fixed for them because the Devs made sure it was fixed for them. Now we're hoping that they do the same for us, basically. I hope they respond to this thread, but I have a sinking feeling they will not. Still, it took several threads from the Dukes of Mikunn folks before they were noticed. I just hope we get a response while it's still worth something.

That's not fair tbh, it actually was a galaxy-wide bug, once it got fixed a bazillion systems started moving, even those which do not have particular groups acting on them. Is probable you got stuck with other bug, as the whole is in alpha state at best.
 
I couldn't move anything even 0.1% and I tried and I tried and I tried..
I can get no satisfaction..

Whatever Frontier did.. I consider their dynamic universe the worst programming job any company ever has done. I don't understand how someone can do so much bugs in rather simple mechanics and I don't understand why they have never ever run a ltitle test on their own and even worse let it be faulty till now and probabily for days to come. Waiting for feedback. fixing a small thing waiting again fixing another... It's really like they don't care to get this working at all. As if they haven't figured out by now that it's not just a simple bug but the whole thing isn't working... I don't understand them.

So my advice. Enjoy Elite by what it present you now: Imersion, DK2.
Forget about reputation, influence, system changes. Forget about every GAME simulation that would make fun and wait for them to seriously address it and get it working once and for all. Else it only ends in more and more frustrating and dissapointment. It's not working. It's not. Yes you read it I love ED but that part is so.. unbelieveable... as if they had taken their caretaker or an unhappy midnless imperial slave to program this background simulation. You can't programm any more broken than that.

I dont need to waste words. You have said it all. +1 rep. Have a round of applause :)

There was more than one bug effecting these systems. Some were definitely galaxy wide fixes. I don't know if they all were but it's irrelevant to my comment. You can bet those bugs that did get fixed only got fixed because the Lugh and Mikunn folks were loud enough about it though, because they were able to convince Frontier it was important to people and that it was truly broken. I want the devs to make sure Ngadjal is fixed for us not just because of Ngadjal, but because I'm sure we aren't the only ones still experiencing problems, and it will help all those others toiling away in obscurity just as well.

From the other thread:

I've said before in a similar thread that we won't provide details on how the mechanisms work. However if you amass information to demonstrate how you believe it isn't working correctly then we can take a look. I believe some people have already raised a tickets so we'll investigate these.

I don't think anyone expects FD to just hand over their formulas and spreadsheets but some guidance around what should be happening given certain actions would help us figure what is or isn't working properly. I think we've all resigned ourselves to being unpaid Beta v4.0 testers but do we also have to do it in the dark?
 
Yeah, war between the Golds and the Clan is officially over. Despite over 800 confirmed kills against their forces, and at least a hundred against pythons and above, the Gold's completely trounced the clan and maintained control of their station.

But we already expected that the results of civil wars were basically statically weighted dice rolls and that warzones were useless - this merely confirms that sad fact.

We're going to try to start another Civil War in jotunheim at Henson station - anyone who wants to kill some some Imperial police, this might give us a good idea of how true the 'cooldown' is that was described to us.

The Golds and Clan should both have cooldown and do both have a different state, so any future war should be between the Aristocrats and RJR. A good test, I think, since this war should have both factions with a station, so we can see if combat bonds cashed in at an owned station actually help.

No word? No bump? No nothing?

how bout the devs just pretend it isn't the goons asking about this. There seems to be no problem with posting in other threads outlining bugs.
