I cannot believe this just happened, I want my money back

So we, the PC guys, get Powerplay. Broken, buggy, and boring. Meanwhile, the console guys get CQC, something I, and many others, have been asking for since DAY ONE. Is PC even going to GET CQC ever???

I cannot...I just...I am so angry I don't even know what to do.

Frontier, you are the worst company in existence.

CQC will be coming to PC. PP will continue to improve. I highly advise you take a deep breath, step away from the keyboard, find some patience, and then come back.

It's a timed exclusive, they get early access. As far as I understand it, that's ALL they get at this point.

No this is clearly impossible...according to comments here and on Youtube noone as EVER asked for this EVER!!!!

(Yes, we will get it...basically the Xbox audience will be the Beta testers for this...)

Well I wanted to reply with a "not sure if serious" meme but I don't think the forums rules allow that. SO i'll just say it.

NOT SURE IF SERIOUS?

And this morning we’re also announcing Close Quarter Combat – instant-action PVP combat in the Elite: Dangerous galaxy for PC, Mac and Xbox One.

A new platform needs a new hook, especially on a mass-market platform populated by tens of millions of players who have hundreds of bright, shiny alternatives to choose from. A period of exclusivity for a mode which is suited to the fast-paced plug'n'play nature of most console games is absolutely necessary if the console version isn't to instantly sink on release. Starting out on X-Box is a good decision.

Despite providing several negative points about the game, the structure and emphasis of your post shows that the only thing that really bothered you before creating the thread is CQC, and your belief that it is not coming on PC. The time of your post shows that you have created it without performing the study on this matter as the dev post made by Michael Brookes 4 hours before the creation of your thread is clear and unambiguous, i.e. CQC is coming for both PC and Mac and that it is going to be a FREE update.

Is PP broken - no, it is quite playable, never had any serious issues with it.
Buggy - yes, there are still some bugs that are being fixed, and I doubt that you can say that they are doing nothing to improve it.
Boring - you are given a playground, this is the only thing that was planned to be given and it is up to you to make it interesting for you.

The only saving grace is that PC is getting it. What worries me is that the console will get features the PC won't, and if one of them was CQC, which (PVP) I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR SINCE DAY ONE, I...I would be furious. I'm not even sure how I'd react aside from unleashing raw hate on Frontier and Elite.

That would be EA, not FD. Hell, they even get an award for it every year.

PancakeMaster · Jun 15, 2015

Well it better be coming to PC, and it better be free. CQC is the only POSSIBLE thing that would make want to continue playing elite.

Yeah, I didn't do my research. I didn't because I was absolutely LIVID that I heard about something I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR FOR MONTHS mentioned in association with CONSOLES, and NOT PC.

Trancepilot · Jun 16, 2015

I , think all this xbone stuff will be good for ED and us pc players. I have been reading about how people are upset about xb getting something that we didn't get and are talking about that they feel betrayed and all. People, grow up! This arena thing for the xb, like I said, this all could just be a test bed for all the goodies that we are supposed to get for pc. I for one dont mind playing ED on both platforms. I just have to laugh at all those who are upset and dont realize how good this could be for the game itself... end rant

More White Knights verses Angry gamers, nothing to see here move on.

daygobah · Jun 16, 2015

I love people like you who dont ask questions first but just freak out at something they dont understand fully.

To answer your question it has already been told CQC will be coming to PC/MAC but XboX will have it first. CQC is coming to all platforms 2015.

Frontier must be doing alright to get you as a customer in the first place. LOL

I think the "You are one of many" applies here. Just because you have been asking for it for months does not mean that your opinion has gone straight to the desk of the developers with shining lights and a cold can of diet coke. (See the film tropic thunder for that reference).
I'm going to throw the word entitled and finish with Is your caps-lock key stuck? Bold or underline is good for getting key points across and doesn't make my eyes bleed.

I have my own thoughts on this that I've gone into much detail on in this thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=157268 which is where I believe your post also really belongs if it wasn't such an overreaction..
Just going to add though that 1.3 did break the game for some people over the weekend and into Tuesday (myself included since I couldn't login), maybe CQC will be fixed when it comes to pc

- Slightly joking but also hopeful.

The tagline for this post should really read something like: Overreact much, CQC wasn't even promised and you are mad because you arn't the first getting it straight away...

Nothing coming out of this company surprises me anymore since they ditched offline .

Zephyriel · Jun 16, 2015

You've been playing the game since release and you say you want your money back now? This is so childish... like almost finishing your steak at the restaurant and then asking for another one because this one wasn't cooked like you wanted.
