The new credit meta (20M a MINUTE) (Clickbait but you'll click it anyway)

- Start date
You got 3.0 for free btw, in case you forgot.
Be honest; the number of players actually interested in mining and also testing mining missions during the beta is probably a value approaching zero.
that's obvious. but you know for sure it's "just a couple of botched mission types" in "a great deal of new functionality", right?
awww, come on, this again. mission expects 18 iron, gives 36 iron as reward. care to pinpoint the unpredictable chaotic attractors in play here? i'm having trouble with such complexity.
i think you either have absolutely no clue about software development, or are too used to talk to complete morons.
yeah, monkeys doing qa. sounds about right!

Because it negatively impacts more non-exploiters than it does exploiters. It's putting credit control as a higher priority than player fun. That's why not.
You are assuming the missions will be back in a few weeks all fixed up. What if it's over a month? What if the missions don't return until 3.1 three months from now?
All I'm saying is, as someone who loves mining, I'm not thrilled about losing all mining missions simply because a new credit grind exploit popped up utilizing them. I'd rather the missions stay in so I can enjoy them normally, because how many credits other players have doesn't matter at all to me, but having mining missions in the game very much does.
I was with you right until after 'the'...
To be honest, as soon as you start sitting there doing this new exploit you might as well sign up for some Chinese gold farm instead. That way your life still is pathetic, but at least you get twenty cents after each hour. Seriously, I wouldn't do this if FD paid me real money, why would anyone do it for fake money? Ah well...
right. but software 'rots'. it's hard to spot the point of no return, but for sure there is one. many of current bugs are clear testament of poor design and practices in the past, the pile of technical debt must be considerable. it becomes harder to progress with each iteration. far from improving, it gets messier every release. the only solution is 'cleaning the house' which requires huge amounts of honesty and investment. frontier already hinted at that on two occasions. both have shown to be bluffs.
frontier will do fine. and elite dangerous might be around in a decade, but in what state? the original elite is still available for download, and probably will be for another two, but i wouldn't expect much from it.
I made FD aware of a certain mining exploit a long time back. Nothing was done about it; they completely ignored me.
All of a sudden they care about exploits. Why? Well, people are making youtube videos. That's why.
I found the beta test a complete pain and spent 30 minutes on it. Shame. Maybe I could have helped in this area. But would they have listened? Doubt it. I'm not Yamiks.
Say what now?

so you can't mine without missions?
sleutel is mildly annoyed by folks who exploit.
Didn't you know that?
Mine-able roids are only spawned from missions.
Not exactly. He said sitting at station and clicking trough rewards just to get millions when you already have billions is a bit pathetic, exploit or no exploit.
Which I kinda agree.
I understand human nature, but that excuse is like...old. We are where we are not because we abide to our nature, but because we try to be better.
At least for skimmer mission players traveled to planets to pew pew little s.
thanks for pointing out. fast and furious typing, not my first language. sorry for the inconvenience. it's corrected now, if you're still inclined to read on ...
Not exactly. He said anyone who does that has a pathetic life.
What someone does in a video game now defines their whole life?
Well a third option might be that the post wasn't read properly? Or would that be your second option?
If you remember Deareim posted a list of many bugs, so there's your context. A bit of irony in that, as well as missing the context, that list didn't even include the one you're referring to.
yeah, monkeys doing qa. sounds about right!
I suspect you're joking here, but in case you're not chaos monkey is/was a tool for creating resilient infrastructure.
Prod is the live environment, so wouldn't, strictly speaking, involve QA prior to release.

That's irrelevant!
My friend who recently started playing asked me what the quckest way to make money was, I told him whatever Frontier makes next will be the way... Long range smuggling missions from EOS when it first started was the first gold rush, Quince with Horizons launch all the way to a few months ago, Long range passenger missions..... Now the optional reward system.
Honestly the only people who will need to grind are the people who just started playing... Until the next new thing arrives.
classy! [up]
there's a lot of bugs, and i doubt you could honestly consider frontier's qa any good, yet have been dismissing any criticism for a while now. meaning i was not really interested in the details, just picked a glaring example. but we can of course discuss any bug in particular if you want.
play of words. yeah, not my best, i know!
Aye mining ruined, because Painite was only bumped from 40k to 130k per tonne, terrible Frontier.
How can I have fun now - I will uninstall!
And you can't shoot ANY skimmers now either because one skimmer mission type was removed.
Sucks because people had fun shooting skimmers too!
