Why so much hype for 3.0?
It's still going to be considered an alpha build, right?

Yes but look at all the stuff it's going to contain:

With each planet at crysis level detail and full of stuff to do there'll be more gameplay in just Stanton than in most AAA games! It'll show everyone!

At least that's what we were being told in Nov last year. Now it's ringing more hollow and we know for a fact we're getting a fraction of that.

Is there a list of what is certainly not coming in 3.0?

 

[Thargon]

Those slides are very old. That's most certainly what ISN'T going to be released in 3.0. Only a very small subset.

See list above.

Dat burn...

 

[MTBFritz]

well technically Trading is already in. As you can push random stuff into your ship then offer it to anybody willing to buy it. Which of course makes cargo transport a given. I dont know why somebody felt the need to list that in the first place once trading is established, the one pretty much necessitates the other but oh well, bloating isnt restricted to the game features I guess.

Piracy is already in as there is no shortage of random people shooting at you if you run across another player. Smuggling can be argued but in combination with roleplaying yeah...smuggling is already in.

Also under roleplaying you can let yourself get paid to do certain stuff so that covers the Mercenary profession. And the same counts for bounty hunting.

So I dont know what you guys are talking about. Everything listed in 2016 for 3.0 is already implemented, whatever we get in 2017 is just a bonus /scoff

The Second Coming .... is coming...

 

[Skizomeuh]

Well, basically that's what a revolution is: cyclicly coming back to your initial position after a certain time. SC is true to its word.

Right, but since AFAIK, you can't exchange in-game credits yet, no one can actually buy the stuff you're selling.
But, you CAN fit a merlin in a cat. It works great

I believe someone posted this in the recent /r/games infographic thread:

Not sure who the original author was.

What is this with SC backers always talking down ED?

When Stanton (the Solar System) be complete, I have conviction will be more material to us play on it than games like Elite Dangerous with their 400+ billion stars full of nothing.

Yeah? Why?

So 2018 we are not allowed to quote him on what he says today. And 2019 we are not allowed to quote him on what he says next year.
So basically, he is allowed to change both his vision, the scope of delivery, and the delivery date, indefinitely?

No.

 

[jmg]

Yeah? Why?

So...

No.

I'm all for universal application of the "don't quote me on stupid s@#$ I said two years ago" rule.
If you're a man and married, you'd understand

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

I am really surprised this public grind is still going on. It is tiresome. They still going on with "bla bla bla this is going to be so awesome" when it is quite clear that a) no, it won't be b) mechanics aren't there c) there are just premade content BEFORE having mechanics d) it is all just so badly managed that it is DONE.

I know what it is. I had phase in my life similar to this one. It is just...so...plain...boring.

Perhaps they ought to give back all the money they collected prior to 2016, too.

I thought about answering that on Reddit - mentioning all the stuff that you can do in ED.

Then I realised how long that would take.

Then I remembered something about arguing in the internet.

So I didn't bother.

No.

Surely the only quotes that matter are the ones from when you paid for it, that persuaded you to buy it (if you did).
Nowhere in their blurb did it say they were going to fart about with it for years changing things...
