The quietest day in ED history

Im ear-deep into The Witcher 3 but ill definitly be hooking up my joystick tomorrow evening and sit here on the forums eagerly waiting for the launcher to update ;)

I'm waiting for the Game of the Year addition, I'm getting really sick of finishing a game and then three DLC packs come out. I just prefer all the content upfront for a single player game, doing the same thing with Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Witcher 3 does look really good though, looking forward to it.

So the past, the present and the future walk into a bar.

It was tense.

Is that some kind of joke?

Let me tell you mate, IT IS!
Theres been alot of undeserved bashing of the game and CDPR the past few weeks but dont let any of that get to you, ive put around 50 hours into the game this past week and I find it living up to, and infact EXCEEDING, any and every expectation ive had.
I expected a good game, The Witcher 3 is simply put a brilliant masterpiece and definitly one of the best, if not THE best RPG ive ever played.
There are issues, none of them gamebreaking and nothing stopping me from enjoying every second of the game.

It has some of the best graphics ever made (no matter the pre release discussions), a beautiful soundtrack, great SFX and the entire atmosphere of the game just sucks me in like nothing done before.
Ive find myself just walking around observing the wind sweep through the forest a rainy night, riding along a coastal road at sunrise or walking down the townsquare watching everyone go about their daily buisness.
It feels so amazingly alive and at times I get so distracted from whatever mission I might be doing and just...mindblown.

Add to this an interesting setting that feels much more realistic then your typical fantasy, youll begin to dislike those supposedly "good" and feel sympathies for the "evil".
Mix in some of the best voice acting ever recorded with a wellwritten scrip making the dialogs feel real and not just one-liner hollywood cliches.

Sorry for rambling on, but I cant praise this game enough. I might be partial, the old pen and paper RPG dog in me who peeks out.
And CDPR already released 3 patches with bugfixes and tweaks, though ive hardly experienced any of the issues that is supposed to have been fixed.

Wait until the expansions or start playing now, either way your in for a helluva treat! TW3 is GOTY without a single doubt, anything else is nothing short of a scandal.

Listen to those tumble weeds blow... Everyone on this forum seems to be waiting for the power play beta. There is a lot riding on this one. I think players are at the stage now where they have pinned their hopes for new content on this update. It has to be good. No pressure... :)

Edit: quietest day :)

I've hardly played at all for several weeks now, i'm just waiting for them to fix bounty hunting :-/ and close the solo mode swap exploit, and combat logging.
 
At work even though it's a holiday in the US. Hard life if you're a professional in taxation this time of the year. 1.3 couldn't have come at a worst time!
 
I'm more interested in the tweaks to already implemented features and optimisation rather than power play itself .. I have zero interest in that side of the update ... much like wings and community goals .. none of which hold much interest to me.

Here's hoping for a major update that just adds stuff for the lone wolf style of play .. bring it on :)

I am with you here.... whilst i have no issues with powerplay, I am WAY more interested in any content which benefits the solo players as well as just the hive players as it were. Whilst I will no doubt dip into the politics of PP for a look, the truth is, I am not interested in it in RL so even less so in elite. What I am looking forward to is the supposed reboot of the actual mission generator itsself.

on top of that the unltimate thing i want are the tier 2 NPCs who I can make relationships with as well as possibly hire for crew, and then ofcouse the thargoids.. I am not expecting them for 1.3 but maybe 1.4 and 1.5.

please note i am not whining, i am fully enjoying what i have already for now.... just so long as the above comes at some point this year i am happy ;)

People should learn how to handle their expectations a bit. As far as we know FD problem isn't lack of money resources, but dev ones. They are doing practically two three things at once - first, they improve core game and add things they planned/wanted to add since begining, second, they prepare XBO version and plan already PS4 one, third designers already sketch out dev plans for first expansions. As far as I see they are stretched out at maximum. Thankfully Mac version beta went on better than expected, so they could unload resources from it and release it sooner than planned.

As long as FD keeps us in loop about what we can expect in nearest future, I think every update are welcomed. And 1.3 so far feels massive - big gameplay design changes, huge list of fixes, improvements and lineup of new features and content. Would I would like to have more ships? Heck yeah. But more I want to see proper wrecks and scavenging, NPC dialogs and passenger transportation. And I know those things are confirmed and/or hinted. All I want to know when, and I hope after 1.3 release we get update about summer schedule which of course will include preparation for very important XBO launch - but also what kind of PC updates we can expect.
 
Someone makes a thread saying quietest day in elite history so it must be true, despite the fact theres less than an hour and a half between the first post on the front page and the last.
 
According to what we've seen about how FD is making the game since release (or since the very beginning) I guess 1.3 will be a step toward somewhere still unknown but will not be the holy grail.

The Holy Grail will come with the planetary landings (and also the civilization of Thargoids ?)

Serenity now! I broke my joystick just in time for the Beta! Let me join you in deep meditation, and utter harmony with the universe!

( At least until I get a new one, express delivery sounds about right. :D )
 
Progress. Maybe good but initial release was very poor so they are just playing catch up

How the hell is PP massive two new ships some drones and a new UI for community goals, biggest yet, but still no sand.
 
...There is a lot riding on this one....

No there isn't.

And alas, I fully expect to still be reading such 'stuff' come v1.4, v1.5, v1.6, v1.7, and so on.

Heaven only knows how much 'stuff' there'll be come the first pay-to-play upgrade, e.g. planetary landings.

'I just can't wait...'

:rolleyes:
 
...But this happened to me today, what a rush!

Well I guess I felt a bit of nostalgia so I fired up the old trailers in anticipation of 1.3
