I think the bugs are winning the game.

OK, I'm taking a break from ED while they clean up.

Ha, true enough. I've decided to take a 11k LY passenger mission and leave the bubble. When I'm back, whatever you guys are experiencing will be gone.
While I personally wouldnt mind them taking more time (and they already are taking more time, S1 was far worse when it comes to this), I can see why the constant 'why isn't FD releasing more stuff with less bugs faster?' isn't easy to balance.And you have experienced the same bugs I have. That makes at least three of us.
I love the -1 meter altitude bug.
No sleep in Cambridge next week. Both of us have screenshots and proof, so we can't be just blown off. They are going to have to fix it.
I've got one of those from last night that I couldn't complete.ok, I try passenger missions...and I get a bug so that the second leg doesn't exists....
CZs haven't been appearing in two of my systems either.
Parked most of my ships, took no missions, just went to Lee's for a shield upgrade, and then found this:

Now if only this would happen to Marco, noone would be too concerned.

Did manage an hour last night in game putting a dbe together with the intention of going back to the core, but...stuck doom on and had so much fun I lost track of time and played till dawn. Just browsing through the forums in the hope that my own negative feelings over the game right now were just me being odd...but seeing a lotta cmdrs having the same reaction.
Much as I love this game, and I really do love this game...I'm just not gonna log in at all tonight. From what I've seen of doom so far, I reckon theres enough meat on those bone to keep me placated while the starship troopers get to work fixing this perfectly good game they went and broke.
And if I'm back sooner, that dbe is parked on the edge of the bubble ready to go into the black fer a couple months. Either way, I'm done here fer now...laters cmdrs ^^

This is what they get for not having an internal QA team (as far as anyone could tell by the end result).
I wonder how their development priorities would shift if people stopped furnishing them with pretty screenshots and hype-building mystery exploration for their promotional material. That's all they seem to do with this game, hype hype hype, make some pretty screenshots and rely on the people who somehow manage to scrape entertaining videos out of it, in order to keep sales up. Anything that doesn't work towards this goal is not worth considering, as you can tell by how they design gameplay that forces people to use newer content (untargetable skimmers, hobbled POI radar, nerfing everything but passengers, etc) and keep them knee deep in screenshots that make it look like they've made a real game.
What did yall think that tourist location crowdsource was for?

Taking a break is not a bad thing, as it avoids burn out.
I took two breaks so far: one in 2015 for two months, while I waited for my broken HOTAS to be repaired. The second between release of 2.1 and 2.2 beta - I did not like the original 2.1 implementation and it was time for me to play something else. Also, summer...
Anyway, after a break ED is usually more fun than immediately before the break.

Very little bugs here?
There are over a million people who bought ED. Even if 1% experience bugs, thats over 10000 people. If even 1% of them goes berserk on forums, that means you'd see a hundred folks going ape. We currently have one user whose hardware is apparantly not matching well with 2.2, so sometimes things dont render well. He's now made four topics about it in a day. He posted the same thing in a whole number of other topics too. All that noise from one dude whose computer doesnt render things correctly at the moment.
Its the bane of people making such games: it has to be groundbreaking, needs to have depth and width, be gigantic and handcrafted, be open-ended, sandbox, have a strong narrative, be multiplayer while aiming for the lone wolf, release patches every three months with loads of completely bugfree features that work 100% for all people on all possible configurations. So some people get disappointed. Some of these have reached the level of maturity where they file a bug report and leave it at that. Some of them are still 12-years old at heart and will go ape on forums. C'est la vie.
None at all:
I was talking about myself you know. But I understand you feel you had to make a point

Thats the one. Tip: you can recognize them by them being seemingly offended or upset when other people have fun, and rejoice when learning other people encounter bugs too.

Just nodded my head reading this, spot on.
Me too. Battling to complete activities within the game, for the bugs.
Pity, it is a good game. Was enjoying it until 2.2 despite being delighted with the upgrade at first. Gameplay has been pretty much ruined at the moment.
Look forward to coming back when its sorted.
