We ALL should protest against FDev while stop playing Elite dangerous!!!

Tbe only reason I am not playing right now is because my useless video card is giving me the BSOD. Last time I ever go Radeon.

Lol

I have a 7 year old AMD HD 6870 that's still going, despite being repeatedly baked... :D
My two previous nVidia cards died after 2 years, despite good care and not baking them.
Then my AMD R9 280x died, it was second hand, so I don't really know how old it was.
And now I have a GTX 770, which seems ok for now. Lol

Seems to be luck of the draw.

Although I do prefer nVidias power use and how quiet they run. My R9 was LOUD, like wear headphones because you can't hear the TV loud.
The 770, is quieter than the rest of my rig.
 
I somewhat disagree with your opinion - but that's irrelevant. If I totally agreed with it, I still wouldn't have liked that post of yours. I've read your posts for a long while now, and quite frankly, I'm surprised that you wrote such a thing, as it seems a bit out of character to me. Perhaps it was frustration, but you can be honest without being so horrible, surely?

You are right, I am frustrated because half of the forums act like nuts and even some of the more reasonable people seem to went crazy. I just can't understand why anyone wants to have clear exploits in the game. And I am sorry for acting like a Richard sometimes. Having to overcome a language barrier since my English sucks and I can't even say what I think half the time doesn't help either. And it isn't easy to communicate via internet. Worst of all I am using my mobile to type which is probably the most frustrating part... So yes, sorry for coming across disrespectful or arrogant sometimes.

And what do you mean by 'actual agenda'. It's a game. My aim is to have fun but at no one else's expense. I don't know what everyone else has as an 'agenda', but unless it's fake outrage or obsession with what others do, surely it won't be much different than mine.
I found out that Hellakitty actually wants to have credit rewards rebalanced so they make more sense and take the players effort into regard. I think that's a perfectly valid opinion and if she would've said so in the beginning I would've probably agreed with it. But instead we are having a 10 pages discussion about keeping exploits in game so that newcomers can move from Sidewinder to Cutter in one hour which would make credit rewards absolutely meaningless in my opinion. Hellakitty doesn't even think that it should be like that but she still argued for it because it somehow supports her idea that rewards aren't always rewarding enough. We had an absolute pointless discussion about something neither of us wants to have in game simply because we weren't honest about our actual intentions and opinions. That's what I call a waste of time.

English isn't your first language? Well, I'm surprised (though not entirely because of 'fisch') - it seems excellent to me anyway.

Thanks for the clarification. If others could do what you just did, we'd have a better forum, and I include myself in that with my somewhat of a short fuse :D

It's always the same - an update drops, we have madness for a while! Then it passes, we have madness for a while! Then so on. :p
 
Cmdr babelfisch, your English is excellent :) Also it is understandable these discussions getting heated...it is a bit pointless though. Till they mitigate some of issues which allows rack those insane income levels per hours, people really have no way to actually know income levels in galaxy for privateering commanders.

And l love how commanders plan to protest them not being billionaires in one evening while I have to run around at stations doing paperwork (damn permits) just get my Cobra off the pad again. Damn rich kids.

Anyway, back to paperwork so I can fly out there a bit after I am done.

Im pretty sure that we will get an increase in income from the mission board in the future, but maybe Frontier want to fix the board hopping thing first.

When it's done, we can have decent payout from missions without risking players to abuse them by board hopping.

Voice of sanity :) Have some virtual reputation. Let's first fix parallel universe hopping before jumping to conclusions :)

Nope, it's Frontier's game...we simply choose whether to climb/remain on-board for the ride; if they mistakenly make some aspect of Elite unbalanced (in their opinion), are you seriously suggesting that they give a collective shrug & do nothing about it just because certain sections of the player-base will have a tantrum?

I'm certainly no fan-boy (in fact, I hate them...they are responsible for Frontier's complacency & ultimately, lower standards of work, imo [big grin]), but you just need to voice your criticisms without resorting to melodramatic ultimata, then wait for Cmdr Eaglefanboy to answer passive-aggressively - like you'd just punched his gran in the face - & finally, make a value judgement whether to continue playing or not!

I accepted that Frontier are not going to make my perfect game a long time ago...you should, too!

I just fly in small & medium ships, that way credits aren't a big deal.

I mostly just pilot small ships because I prefer the way they handle. Credits aren't a bit deal either way, at least not for me. I don't play the game by frivolously throwing away my ships like some seem to though.
 
They only reason for with this argument "Everybody should stop playing Elite Dangerous to protest" is to push FDEV that the updates are stable,polished and not so mega buggy and full of embarrassing bugs and exploits like the "Skynet Bug" from Engineers and this ridiculous bug with the mining missions. I´ve played lots of Online MMOs and PC Games (AAA´s and Indie) but i´ve never come across a game which is so unstable with its Background Mechanic and the patches. Everytime i patched Elite Dangerous i know that this version is only really playable after 2 or 3 updates. Or 2 Months mostly after release of this update.
 
I have enough of this nerf meta from FDev.. really, I'm just tired about this. AND I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so.

SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE, NOW!!!


The only answer to all "unplanned" things can't be to just put out the nerf hammer.
We need real solutions!

Listen, ALL ways where you can climb the grind-ladder faster, FDev nerf it.
-You can make faster money? nerf it.
-You can get faster reputation? nerf it.
-You can rank up fast at your power? nerf it. and so on. I guess you get it what I'm talking about.

The major issue with Elite is that your time you invest in this game is not worth it in comparison to the rewards you get.

And so I'm not surprised that the goldrush meta popped out. I can understand these people.

It makes me really happy, when I read posts/comments in forums where players made billions of credits in just few hours with the skimmer missions.
That's a big middle finger to FDev and their nerf meta.
I personally didn't take that chance. Unfortunately I was in Colonia.

TO ALL PEOPLE who might write/say:" Elite dangerous grind isn't that much, you can get anything fast and also have some fun".


Well..., let me say this to you all unemployed 24/7 players: ALOT of people have also a real life. When people came home from school, work or university, they want just relax and not get to their second job lol!!!! Because Elite grind feels like a second job. You CAN'T really relax.

We, the players, didn't do anything against this nerf meta, and so FDev think they can do anything but the forget that we, the players, made them what they are now. Means without us, the players, FDev is nothing!!

So hereby,
I invite all players to stop playing Elite,at least for a while. And take a pause.
FDev should realize that they exceeded a line we don't accept anymore!

The salt is strong in you

... newsflash
its not about getting everything asap.

People will board hop regardless, people do not board flip because they "need to", it's because human beings like to optimise.

I'm not sure another increase in income from the mission board is the right solution, money is already easy to come by in ED.

For me the biggest problem is not the rewards but the lack of available mission types I am interested in. There should be different categories that we can access prior to viewing the bulletin board. If I select haulage mission the game should give me 20 different haulage missions for each faction, the same for intel, combat and illegal missions.
 
Its a game. Its meant to change. If simulating any form of life in space, there would be rushes they would stop. Its not meant to be easy, why would I want an easy game to complete in 5 days.

We have grinded to have what we have, nothing new. Let's just play the game.
I'm not protesting, I work away bored in a hotel. I don't get time to play as much as I want too, so when I get the chance I'm playing as much as possible

Love it
