PVP arena mode confirmed - xBox Trailer

CQC is a natural fit for the Xbox One release so it made sense to release it there first. It will be coming as a free update to PC and Mac later in the year.

...nothing personal it's just business.
But what about conception "one game, one universe on all platforms & pc is lead platform's" - is lie?
 
It should be the current pvp community who've put 100's of hours in to the game testing it though. Seems like a slap in the face tbh, especially to the kickstarter/alpha/beta players

I also expect that the paid expansions will fall further down the priority and/or get released on the XBone before those that actually kickstarted the game.

You missed a word out, Michael, so I fixed it for you.

It's called a bait & switch. I trust FD less and less each day.

How about your PC version that many say is lacking content and things to do. I'd say it's a natural fit there too.
How much later in the year? Xmas? is the Xbox getting 6 months worth of exclusive content?
As someone that backed your project on Kickstarter to get the whole thing off the ground I think a long wait is hardly fair.
 
You know what?
I'm actually impressed. I imagined just a zone of free fire with no financial consequences.
Flying around stations etc does .... look...... really............................cool!!!!!

Let's see hey!

There are new features and content coming that will be released on PC and Mac first. PC remains the lead platform for development, in this instance CQC fit the Xbox One release.

I would love to see the beautiful new assets we see in the trailer, in the actual game Galaxy, and not just confined to an Arena mode. Please! :)

The connected Station structures, and the huge billboards just look so amazing, I want to see more stuff like that everywhere in the game.

We understand the reasons but it makes more sense for the current pvp community to be testing a pvp mode in ED as they've put about a years worth of play time in to the game and hundreds of hours of flying and testing.

You're not already listening to the current pvp community as you're latest "undocumented cargo fix" broken pvp piracy.

Maybe you should start listening to the current players and testers before bringing in a fresh load who have little to no experience with the game.

Just something I noticed. When a few months back people found hints of an arena mode, there was a big storm of protest. "Arena mode is for stupid-console-pew-pew-kiddies. Us beta backers don't want arena, not even for free, and if we do we will never touch it!"

Fast forward to today, and a new storm is blowing around us: "we love the idea of arena mode, we should play it before the console folks get to it!"

If FD would have listened to you guys there would not have been an CGC at all, so I (and I'm pretty sure tons of others) are perfectly fine with them ignoring you for this.

So you're saying the platforms won't be treated fairly, and one platform could get a certain feature way ahead of the rest? This sounds like it has serious potential to fragment the community.

To play devil's advocate here;

But how much longer have you had access to the full game before XB1 gets it?
And it will be coming to the PC - so let the XB1 crowd have their fun, watch any YouTube videos they upload to gain an idea on tactics and learn how it works.
Then when it comes to PC, you'll know more than others on PC who didn't bother and have an advantage ;)

"Natural fit" ?
Does this have any sense ? Maybe i miss something obvious, but it looks pretty odd to me.
How could a feature be more natural for Xbox than for pc ? DBraben said earlier that Xbox version will never get more priority than PC's one.
And what about bakers ? Did they kickstart just to see FD making money on other support ?
We have all received a mail advertising us that we can have a coupon for DOUBLE buying. Is that a joke ?
Tons of players was waiting for such a feature, and u FD totally spoil with this exclusivity.

Let enjoy the storm, u realy deserve it this time.
 
Looks very nice - i really, really hope it comes with spectator mode like in Guildwars. I might not be a PVP'er myself, but damn sure i would love to watch matches at times. :)
 
CQC - The acronym, are you sure?

Sorry FD but have NONE or you guys ever heard of the Care Quality Commission? The "CQC" does not have a sterling reputation in UK health circles.....

Is it me or am i the only one who immediately thought this?

Is it an in 'FD' joke to bash the geriatric '84ers in arena play against the youngsters?
 
Disapointed to see it will be release on PC later, after a console version.

But meh, got a 5$ gift for a game I already have, so I guess it's ok ?
