UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

[Julio Montega]

There isn't enough punishment for player murder that's for sure - I'm fine with the idea of people doing it, but there's no negative for doing it, apart from the community's ire.

There is infact some punishment:
Hostile patrol ships start interdicting you,
bounty hunters spawn on your heels
and you come to the point where stations
no longer let you dock, due to being hostile.

If FD would balance this on the fact that people fly engineered corvettes,
then count me out.

 

[GeneralGhostt]

do we know the name of the explorer that is suppsed to show up in Pic Tok?

might be kohl or the yellow asp

 

[rizal72]

I don't disagree, but the flip side of that is that Kohl apparently got killed before he could deliver the next clue. Some would call that entirely predictable. And some would call that farcical.

ehehehehehehehehehe. So he was a FAIL not a FAKE....

 

[Tikas]

No you cant. You can sell them at the market, sure, but you cant deliver them to the CG.

Ah, appearently it took some time for it to recognise that it was sold... geez that took way to long (10 min-ish)

 

[Siranui]

Oh sunshine it is a big deal, your changing the game rules to suit yourself as far as Adam here is concerned, you need to let people and players know first what your intent is, how you plan the events. Also anything like this should be relayed to subscribers of this game before it starts. Allowing an event to play out in open play means you give up the right to private play, to allow any other player to take action against you. This isnt fair i didnt buy elite dangerous to pvp, i want that crap il go back to eve online where the rest of the space pvp trolls live.

They did let people know, and said that some parts would be in Open, but they will endeavour to make the clues accessible to all.

I don't PvP either, but that did not preclude me from sticking my head into open for a couple of hours. No PvP was involved.

 

[Red Anders]

It you give it a minute and check progress, your contribution is displayed.

But yes: The message may be the point, or this a red herring.

But what does the global progress show for you, just your contribution, or more than you delivered? I signed up and despite people saying they've had deliveries credited, global progress is still shown as 0 to me.

 

[Allant Doran]

How do you pronounce Kohl?

It's irrelevant but I'm curious. Is it like Coal? Or Koll?

 

[RedWizzard]

Which is why FD have back ups.

Or, to give an in-fiction reason; Look how disposable Kohl was. Whoever is enticing us forward has many ways of getting this information to us. They have already admitted this is a game to them. They clearly have some far-reaching power to produce these signals wherever they want in a casual, game manner.

They apparently had to hurriedly create a CG for no purpose other than to deliver the clue. That wasn't a plan B, it was creative solution to a problem that should never have been allowed to occur in the first place.

Incidentally, if first contact is anything like this those of you wanting peace can kiss that plan good bye. SDC or someone similar will definitely be shooting first.

 

[GeneralGhostt]

ehehehehehehehehehe. So he was a FAIL not a FAKE....

Frontier failed to count in SDC

and we got the bad end of it. You shoudnt laugh Riz

(or i will point my finger at you)

 

[Julio Montega]

No you cant. You can sell them at the market, sure, but you cant deliver them to the CG

Yes you can, cg interaction 101:
- sign up for it.
- sell the stuff at the market or black market (rare illegal goods cg proves this)
- wait for transaction server to refresh the numbers

Co-hl.
Translation from german to english = cabbage

True, but it wasn't so rushed that it breaks the narrative for me.

As for SDC shooting first... maybe Thargoids are the answer to people's calls of ''Do something about SDC''. Introduce an NPC that will wipe SDC out time and time again, haha

The personal progress was indeed updated; however the global progress remains still.

You are only encouraging them (SDC) by stating this.

 

[GeneralGhostt]

so now the next person we meet is the yellow asp the "EXPLORER"
at 3 pm GTM is the location the cg's system?

 

[MadDogMurdock]

I love how people are complaining they are being 'Forced' to play Open, but that is bad because they don't like PvP.

''Why can't I ride my motorcycle around this kids' park? I'm being FORCED on to the roads. WAAH.''


Yes, events don't always have to abide by your comfort zone.

It's not about comfort zones.
I think it's more that FD don't seem to understand that certain player elements in this game will always be out to spoil the party.
I'm guessing that Granger won't last past 15:05

 

[Vasious]

You cant deliver the fish, so dont bother peeps

Leave the instance and return, there is both a black market and a commodities market

What was decoded said: Pic Toc 3 pm

 

[Niamhy]

This whole hunt is broke FD.
