Are people not being calm with FD?
Please be calm to FD – give them more time!
- Thread starter moonsword
- Start date
If this didn't happen on Xbox, why should it happen on PS4 exactly?
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 *)
1/216, maybe....
Yeah, and not being able to land on all planets might scare them off. Gonna be interesting.

People criticism NMS for being too much the same. Their minds will explode when they see Rock #237847834 in ED...

Sorry, but it should be the other way around. FDev don't need more time. *I* want my time back from the bugs, empty/broken promises, buggy patches etc. FDev has had plenty of time already. My patience is more or less over at this point. No more purchases from me, no season passes or expansions or useless skins and ship kits ever again. Not until I see massive redesign and an overhaul to the core mechanics of gameplay.
Until then I'll do combat in RES in my lil Vette and thats it. And if any money is to be spent on a space game from me, it'll most likely be for Star Citizen at this point.

Yes 1 in 10 (or 20 ?) seems to me more reasonable and over several years
You have to laugh at a post implying that Star Citizen is making more progress than Elite Dangerous. Not taking anything away from SC, it's moving along, but at a glacial pace.
SC launched kickstarter in 2012, Arena Commander v1.0 was released in December 2014, and here we are in mid-2017, still in Alpha, with Alpha 3.0 "coming soon".
ED also on kickstarter in 2010, Alpha by Dec 2013, Beta in early 2014, released in December 2014, Horizons in 2015, and continual development of new features.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Investing in a shares with money you don't need/won't miss is not gambling.
It's still gambling, there's just no risk involved.
With that 100% OP.
We're born in the age of panic I know .. with people complaining they paid (past tense) and forgeting they own that license forever future. Almost as if taking a dump on your own doorstep is somehow suddenly a great idea.

Elite!

Investing makes a very positive increase to capitalism. Gambling can be very addictive & destructive - it contributes nothing.
There is risk with investing; your share value can fall or be completely wiped out.

True but a great many on this very forum have stated that elite is an ongoing and unfinished developement cycle...so its an open beta? An experiment? Had a good start but this is a marathon, not a sprint and it would appear that they already blew their best shots in the first few laps and with the race not even a third of the way through, the runner appears to be on shaky legs, suffering from multiple cramps and has lost the power of speech.
They running outta platforms to port to and just about all the reviews have dropped to above average at best. If I was a betting man, I wouldnt make bets on this game in its present state...no confidence in their ability or stamina and zero communication does nothing to restore that confidence. In the long run, they only hurt themselves by behaving like...well, not like how mature adults are supposed to behave.
I see frontier as being very egotistical...they will want to beat the SC craze by being the first with the shiny. They hit a rich vein at the start with their fantastic flight model, but seem to have run outta steam after less than 3 years. While the reality might be different from the perception, I cant help thinking that SC had the right approach all along by not releasing it until it was ready whereas frontier rushed and sprinted off the starting line.
Reminds me of the story of the tortoise and the hare ^
This a hundred times. ^
