"working on something secret for PC and Mac"
- Thread starter NeilF
- Start date
Wish they'd stop this "something amazing is just around the corner" routine ... it probably isn't going to be that great, if past experience is anything to go by
Like Kerrash seem to have done when yesterday saying that Tier 2 NPCs are coming...and then asking himself if he was allowed to say that.
GERJEWJ EJVWE VEJ JwHAT?
Have you got a link for this?
That's a possibility.
Agree, it only serves to create speculation which in turn leads to many being disappointed when it isn't what they wanted.
It raises hype and increases the post update negativity.
I really doubt we will see 'landings' anytime soon, it makes far more sense for FPS/station walking to be first up.
It would allow them to get a working, 'wrinkle' free, FPS mechanic in place which would be vital for planetary landings unless it is just going to be 'land at a base and take off again' i.e. no different to landing on a station but with a new vista or maybe provide access to surface vehicles only which would require a huge dev input.
I would rather see some core gameplay such as salvaging and/or passenger carrying added before paid stuff.
Doesn't stop them announcing both in the coming months but I still doubt landings will be it.
As for Thargoids, Trumbles etc they are things I would like to discover not be told about, if they announced them then they would again be taking fun away instead of adding it.

I bet 100 merits it's planetary landings, due in December. To me it is the last macro-thing missing from an otherwise "complete" game. When it's in place, everything can be fine-tuned into perfection, but they have to get it out sooner rather than later and before too many features will become conflicting with this "pillar".
I don't envy Kerrash...in this case not knowing is better than knowing and not be able to tell anyone!
Just imagine how hard he and some of the devs have to bite down when reading some of the forum posts while knowing what's coming...
Also the risk of slipping up about something...
Like Kerrash seem to have done when yesterday saying that Tier 2 NPCs are coming...and then asking himself if he was allowed to say that.
Where he said that?
He also said that Thargoids own much larger space in galaxy. And it seems he has specially asked for this to be allowed to say.
Yes, I don't envy him nor devs.
Personally I think it's going to be the first paid expansion, walking around ships and stations .. FD have always said that the ship and station models were designed with this feature in mind so all the basic interiors were added to the models as they were built, Also I can't see the point of Planetary Landings without being able to get out of your ship (Yes, I know that's how it worked in FE2/FFE).
Announce in September at Gamescon, Beta late November, release December ..
But realistically, it's probably only gonna be more stuff to 'bring us together'

Watch whole stream, he did a lot of drops like this during it.

Wait...what? WHAT? Is this again my insufficient English language skills not getting your joke or did he really say that? Tier 2 NPCs are coming? REALLY?

I ROFL'd at this It's not just happen-stance that they let this drop RIGHT AFTER they got mauled you know The reason they wont give any info is: They are scrambling around trying to piece together some lame offering in an attempt to offer up to the PC players who are so disgruntled.......I wouldnt be surprised if it turns out limp and half-baked AGAIN hehe

Yeah right!: The 1st paid major update will be Thargoids Landing on planets. We won't be able to land on planets though - only Thargoids that have paid will be able to land on planets - Obviously Thargoids that were premium beta-hackers, kickassters and alphas will have this update for free
Around 7:20 in this video he you uploaded on Youtube today:

I love his pause afterwards...whoops...
Watch the entire steam for that matter (that video is part 2)...there is some other goofies in there.
But no, let's remember...the design proposals have been ABANDONED!!!!!!

Well, we knew they are on their todo list for some time now. Question is when - and it feels like natural extension of things as they are.
Honestly, I've given up all hope for the background sim and everything that could make the universe alive, I've the feeling some of us just don't share the same vision as FD on that subject, so I'm only waiting for what they do best: the universe itself.
But Planetary Landings is not "something secret", neither anything coming from the DDF/DDA.
On the other hand, PP was "something secret", so right now I'm very afraid.
check again, Pilots are in cockpits, I noticed last night, not sure if this was part of the last update or not.

NICE!
Yeah, it pretty much confirms (for me personally) my suspicisions about August release of persistent NPCs with dialogs. YAAAAAAY!
