UAs, Barnacles and other mysteries Thread 8 - The Canonn

[ilo]

The hunt person saying "I'll let you know when/how to deliver them..." was just the FD employee saying "hey peeps, I'm totally knackered and I'm off to bed. Laterz" or somesuch. Guess all we can do is hang around the same locations at 3, 6, 9 again and wait for instructions. Until then, keep your eyes and ears open and go do something constructive

you nailed it.

the last information we did get, sound like I went to a party and did end up drunk in Mexico and when I did awake, I had a tattoo on my chest

Dear Lord, i would like to disagree. Over the last month(s) there was a lot of hype generated by FD themselves, starting with a casual "winter is coming" statement, and culminating in the "video messages" and the debris-field with the "anomaly" taking up the view....

I get what you are saying, I don't get how come in 24h a lot of people went from the superhighspeedhype to the disappointment and bad mood again.

We asked for content, here it is.. take it slowly, it is happening now, it is not over.

Anyone find a M-class star with 10 planets?

Frankly speaking, this thread is getting choked with rants. Cant the mods do anything and keep the discussions up to the topic at hand?

See if this helps https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Orion-guide_dark.svg

I think you might be onto a lead with Orion

every instinct tells you this is Orion. Exccceeept... Orion's Bow points to the Pleades/Taurus. In Kerash's "map", Taurus should be at the topright of the map. ish. and if you rotate the map 90%, taurus still isn't at the top-right. So either it IS Orion, and Taurus is misplaced to throw us off, or it isn't Orion. And if it isn't Orion... well.. um...

This hunt sucks! It's far away from what I've expected. Very, very lame, FD. Meh!

Don't worry, people will wander off, and this thread will get back to being multiple confused threads of mind-bogglingly confusing science soon enough

That's about the most common star and system layout in the galaxy

Not saying the following is "right" or "wrong", just trying to explain:

For many, if not the most, the "28th thing" was the goal and kind of "final step" of one huge "stage" of a possibly multi-stage experience towards 2.2 .
After many clues, hints, riddles solved, players were expecting "something" - that is maybe different from player to player, but at least they did not expect, sorry - "lame" (lacking the correct wording here) - encounters, not revealing anything, but just pointing at even more riddles, and in consequense more CG's. Not mentioning the "problem" that these encounters were only by a handful of players.

On top of that, this was on a weekend, on several times (revealed through mentioned riddles), adviced to go armed, and people around the world, even in timezone with unreasonable local times, were sitting there full of expectations.
And those were not nearly fullfilled.

You cannot endless tease a player base. There is a tipping point, and that just happened to many, and that is just why it "went from the superhighspeedhype to the disappointment and bad mood again"

I repeat myself, but that is forseeable to any reasonable person, who is/was involved.

I do hope this whole thing gets improved somehow by FD for the things coming.

 

[Armankessilon]

Agreed. Yesterday's event was dissapointing. Definately not the way I wanted to spend my day off. Hoping we will get something more interesting today.

They ARE on topic. We're discussing why the event that was supposed to lead us on to the next part of the mystery is an annoyingly-timed, badly-implemented waste of resources that also happens to be boring.

This is what happens when you promise a ton of players, especially in a certain group, something mind-blowing - and then completely fail to deliver on it. The playerbase is getting extremely tired of the drip-feed content, and a lot of people in this thread are starting to come to the realization that despite their effort, the gameplay will move at FD's own predetermined, turtle-esque pace. The event starting a day early, causing a lot of people to miss it, didn't help.

I have been working on the numbers as well. Orion got the hammer of Kedalion from Vulcan(system in game controled by the feds with 1 star, 1 planet and 2 stations) his mother was said to be Euryale(system in game, no clue what's there)

And I think i'm going to hit the belt I guess see what I can find.

I do believe so. It is a learning process, for everyone.
I was involved and pushed back at the same time, and I don't think I'm in rant mode even if I'm not very happy, see? I can even be salty:
On the other hand, it can only go better now

FD will learn a lot from what happened, and we should learn a lot too about what to expect and how to react.

No it's not.

Please go start another thread for the complaints.

People come here to see what's going on, not to read page after page of complaining.

You shouldnt expect fast paced content here. I am a new player who has come from playing AAA's for a long time and I understand the pace of this game. This game IS slow as is real life. Its almost a life sim. And talking about puzzles, if you cant solve them, leave them for the guys here to solve. You cant be a trader, miner, explorer, PvPr, combateer and whatnot in the game. Same goes in real life. Thats what the community is for. If anybody believes that FD should make each and every player have the same experience, you can forget the community.

 

[Wobblin-Gobblin]

So what's now? The next step is the 10th planet in Pic Toc? Or maybe this one:

You're absolutely right, but you can make the way to the next step more exciting [big grin]

I don't recall seeing that the specific 28th riddle(s) said to go armed (unless they knew griefers would be around). It's just a precaution thrown out there in general for explorers as Drew has even said before this 'hunt' was even announced and probably before it was even a thought.
I can understand wanting something more than more riddles, but there's still almost two months until the reveal/release. Why would they lay all the cards on the table on Day 1? If they had then that would be the complaint and there'd be 'nothing' to do until then. Erryone needs to relax and enjoy the ride.

I'm curious to see the developments but I'll stay informed from here. I've set a deadline to fit and upgrade my 'Conda for the 28th. I've achieved that so later today I'll be departing to what we presume to be the Rift and 'check it out'. Despite the warnings, I've decided to go unarmed in favor of jump range.

I will be there for the next step mate. Even if it leads to nowhere, I will be there. o7
