Please be calm to FD – give them more time!

Would be a helluva lot easier to have patience if we had just an inkling of what we were waiting for...without even a basic notion or hint, one is left to speculate based on what has already came from FD...thats kinda thin over the last year.

Theres also the small matter of FD themselves losing patience with their own playerbase and stopping communication. Would actually like to point out that some of us werent actually here when others in the community got antsy...so everyone gets punished with silence because they lost patience.

And you ask fer patience...considering the background, thats a really big ask. FD should be all too aware from personal experience that patience are not limitless and much of the previous good will has evaporated...thats on them far as Im concerned and its upto them to make things right.

Personally, Ill decline because the ball is still in their court and its their serve ^

I chalk it up to a lack of confidence Braben has in his teams. Doesn't want anyone to stick their necks out.

An attitude which breeds mediocrity...but I could be wrong, perhaps there is a genius there I don't understand.
 
FD needs more than just an influx of money, remember this is the company that came up with the engineers. What FD needs is creativity, a sense of fun and an ability to do their jobs the way they should be done.
 
As being a ED Kickstarter participant and calling myself an enthusiastic ED pilot I want to see more features and content being implemented in ED more quickly.

Then I looked today at the numbers of sold PS4 stations.
More than 30 million PS4 stations are sold by now worldwide!

Let’s imagine that one out of three PS4 players will buy ED for his/her console.
This would mean roughly more than 400 million € cash (!!!) in addition to sold PC/Xbox One/Mac-version of ED for FD, probably even in this accounting year.

And more cash for FD means, more money to recruit more developers/designers/musicians/QA staff and for other investments.
The increase of the development staff will be very important for the further advancement of the game.

Therefore please try to be calm (I know it is hard… I feel your pain, it hurts me too...)

…But if you have some dough left in your pocket that you would spend normally for ice cream, cola and chips
… I would recommend to by some FD stocks instead.
:)
(No, I am not employed by FD! ….. *opening his online deposit, grinning ecstatically while looking at the FD stock quotation *)

1 of 3 may be a bit unrealistic and if it was 1 out of 3 for ps4 I figure we would see faster dev for ps4 being a player of pc this could be a bad thing.

The real issue is out of the 300 yup 300 employees at fd how many are working on ED? Because I'm seeing lots of improvements and patches from another game of theirs and no movement over here that is for sure.

The difference being that hes already a proven genius with many here who have sampled it in previous games...up until last year ish sorta time, Id never played a frontier game before and only found out who he was from the forum. Thats why its easy fer me to be pretty much indifferent to the fanboi hero worship nonsense. I dont doubt theres genius in the man...takes something fairly special to get me this involved in a game I dont even play anymore, Ill give the guy points fer that one.

I do genuinely hope things get better...I just dont see it and being here at all is turning into something more akin to morbid curiosity. Forums are my last string attached to something that once reached a very deep part of me. Its fair to say that if this braben guy of yours is some sorta genius, then I really need to see some of it in 2.4. Because if I dont then there wont be a season 3 fer me.

But...Ill wait a year to see it if I have to but in the meantime, indifference breeds indifference and I got no time fer this game past writing a few notes here and there. Inspire me frontier...if you can ^

ps...fly safe cmdrs

3...2...1...go!
 
The extreme radio silence from FD lately is deafening, it's starting to feel like No Mans Sky here.

ed is dead game.. do not wait for more. they never accept "space legs" or smilar things.

More time.....emm just how long is a piece off string.

Worst part is.. you don't play anymore yet you are still here which means you care or have hope. But even that can fade with lack of production and communication from FD.

This is typical before they have something to announce. Though...they have a strict no news on future development



Yeah, so dead all these people keep talking about it. Get out of here.

And not a single word from them to address the rage of the player base over the unsuccessful deployment of the worst patch in ED's history.

Oh I do still care...even if I am unable to load up my other little vice because of an 800mb patch installing which means I got an hour to kill...

This game was an obsession fer me once...games like that dont just grow on trees and yer lucky if it happens twice in one decade...hard to let go ^

Explanation enough?

There was also the livestream where they discussed the complications of the mission system.
And I'm sure we all remembered what happened when they tried tweaking mission rewards.
Gotten any missions awarding Cracked Industrial Firmware lately?
Actually get CIF from that mission?
Exquisite Focus Crystals?

I suspect said code is not quite as "clean" or "structured" as stated.

Cross-platform capabilities may well be streamlined, but not something I'm apt to discover.

And there it is... You see, that's the honesty we need about this game right now, from all sides.
 
The PlayStation owners already got burned by another space game so I like to think many players are waiting for the general response before purchasing ED. :)
 
I care not for these toys you call consoles i just want FD to concentrate on finishing a game which showed SO MUCH PROMISE. I want ED to work and personally think it should have been a Pc/Mac exclusive. Maybe by now we would have a more rounded fuller and more complete product.
Not anti toy (sorry console) just pro ED, and my own personal opinion before i am trolled/flamed/misquoted.

I hope that at least 10 million PS4 new players discover and are wowed by ED and the "majesty" it simulates. This could give the membership a big boost and kickstart whatever passes for season 3 thru 10 now, without needing kickstarter again, lol.
