I will put a review of it here soon, downlading it now on xbox one.
News David Braben Guest Blog - on Xbox One and CQC
- Thread starter Edward Lewis
- Start date
Wasn't the mac version already announced in the Kickstarter phase? Then the mac users had also founded the development.
And why do you think you don't have the game they promised you? (Except for a offline single player mode.)
For me the game is already more then i ever had expected. There is no way a developer can meet the high expectations of every single player.
And they keep developing the game and put the stuff from those other platforms back into the pc game as well.
(I really appreciate the better performance because of the console and mac optimizations in the 1.3 Powerplay patch.)
So i can't see any point of being mad about, except of putting something into the game that didn't feel plausible and only exist for the console audience.

Can't this console stream games over twitch aswell?

I m mostly very critical about ED, but i think this time that CQC is the right move from FD.
Look, the flight and combat model are today the best parts of ED. A sort of PvP arena will add a welcome addition beside the "gindy" gameplay.
But i know there a similar arena space pvp f2p games out there, i m interested what FD will do better than the others that are on the marked . What will make the ED pvp arena special?
If i could choose i would prefer deeper gameplay, but after seeing powerplay i think that things could not be worse.
Beside that, i think the 5% coupon was a bad joke from ED and not letting the alpha and beta backers test CQC is a very bad move from FD.

Well, there's a lot of PR-talk in that blog post; so Trying to sift between the euphemisms I gather new content won't be arriving to PC/Mac for several months, then? That's a little bit of a downer, but I can deal with that.
But please please keep working on bugs for PC/Mac; The community is spending a lot of time talking about bugs and things that aren't working as expected; The poor pirates are about ready to go on strike!
Wouldn't hurt to make the game a little bit more hack-resistant, too >_> <_<, as that's another toxic cancer that is dragging down the user base.
In short, good luck developing the Xbox version, but don't forget about the people here in PC land, who were here from the beginning...

This is one of my major concerns also. At least SC seams to be on track to what they said the game was going to be. Oh wait they are not releasing the game until its finished.
Seams like FD should of followed SC strategy maybe.
Please define "support".
You guys at FD better be pulling something good out of the hat for the PC users (I would say core users, bet we now know that's not true anymore) in the next few days. At least now the veil has been lifted, we know why there has been very little done in terms of providing any depth to pre-existing systems, why large amount of bugs have gone unfixed, why powerplay was so shoddily released, far too soon and far too broken. Oh, and don't expect the xbox users to give you any more slack when they start realising just how shallow and unfinished large parts of the game are. We are sick of half baked new features rushed out the door, keep all your future updates until you can provide us with a fleshed out base game first, something we should have had when the game was first publicly released on PC.
Bill passes Brock the popcornI'm super relaxed and I'm having a blast
I'm a sucker for forum drama.
Yeah, at least Star Citizen, though they're playing the "let's add everything" game that Eve is guilty of, isn't gonna release until it's ready. ED, while I'm fine with it being thrown out there quickly, I was hoping we'd get steady development and have the full game we were promised before they started messing with Xbone.
*clears throat* Boss! We have to destroy the shagohad! Metal geeeeeeeear! That is all.
Still trying to figure out what the "CQC" thing actually is. Because no one seems to be willing to elaborate on the intials.
My Googling has brought me to the Care Quality Commission website, which sounds like a big pow wow for care bears and the entitle... Oh wait. Nevermind, I understand now.

@Zeeman, have you played Star Citizen's Arena Commander? It's...Elite's version of that.
Finally. Thankyou!
Using initials to introduce something with zero explanation, just an assumption that everyone knows what it is, is just horrible communication.
Still curious as to what CQC actually stands for, but at least I now know what it is. At least the term "Arena Commander" gives one a clue...

Fairly certain CQC is Close Quarters Combat. There's likely nothing else it could stand for that would make sense.
