To make a long story as short as possible for anyone that even cares. After doing a lot of work gaining rep to unlock Marco Quent I found out there is a bug where I cant unlock him. This means I also cant get Prof Palin or lvl5 engine upgrades (which many other cmdrs can). This is obviously frustrating as others not only have an advantage over me, but I put in a lot of work for nothing. FD is pretty much ignoring the issue under bug reports despite of many complaints (currently probably complained about more than any other bug) and two weeks after launch, not even a word about it getting fixed or at least an update of why its taking so long, or a temporary fix, basically just deal with it, too bad so sad.
Either way I decided to chill out and cut my loses and just move on to the next engineer. Started doing Didi Vatermann (that didnt sound right), one of her requirements are 200 Lavian Brandy. At first it was very frustrating as I could only get a quantity of 1 every 10 mins. Finally after doing about 15 one at a time, I was able to get a quantity of 2. As you can imagine this takes forever and the kicker is, once you have 10 in your cargo hold, no more will spawn at that station. So its not just a lot of waiting, but many deliveries. I've actually been doing nothing but this for days now and finally got to 178 out of 200 and then it just stopped. No more brandy spawning at all, zero. Not 1 in the last 8hrs, tried everything. Switching ships, doing missions and getting my rep up, logging in under solo/open/private, but nothing works... Its no longer even listed as a commodity at that station showing its stock at 0, its just completely missing. Dejavu of Marco Quent, I just put in a ton of work and once again like some sick joke, one foot from the finish line FD places a brick wall. Frustration doesnt begin to explain the feeling Ive had today. This just isnt right and I wont even bother with bug reports, I know I wont get any help there. And who knows maybe tomorrow another quantity of 1 will spawn, like a dangling carrot on a stick, urging me to go on, but for the first time, I just dont care anymore. Maybe because I asked a simple question. Why am I spending my free time doing something that ends up making me angry and frustrated?
So for now goodbye Elite, I might come back and visit again, but for now its over. Dont call me, Ill call you. Cue the pleasant "see ya wouldnt want to be ya" replies, and the "can I has your stuff?" (I wouldnt expect any less
)... In all honesty I really did enjoy Elite and certainly got my moneys worth, the game owes me nothing. I also especially had a great time on this forum and good conversation with some of the cool people that frequent it, thanks for all the good times, see you all.
