On a sideline.. why ain't you all in bed?? Noone is usually up at this time of the morning
Canonn tried. This is the result: Removal of the agency that existed prior (The cone sector had been accessed before, just with no means of return) as well as the illusion of agency offered to Canonn via the Gnosis. If FDev didn't want to allow narrative progression via the tools they gave players clearly communicating that rather than escalating expectations would have been the right choice.FDev shouldn't be telling a story. They should be providing the props and setting the stage.
We should be doing the storytelling.
Problematically all game world narrative works like that so your solution is to give up all narratives not mechanically supported through normal gameplay. So the BGS and PP... Yay.Of course we/they do. You/we/they have banked on a system that surrenders any potential for agency to developer fiat.

Let's not get into talk of firings and such. Dev harassment is not condoned on this forum.
Everyone can discuss the news without resorting to calling out employees please.

Honestly though there's better way to do it. There would have been far less backlash if they just came out and said "Look, we just need 1 more week to finalize some stuff for the gnosis event. blah blah blah marketing spin, sorry not sorry here's a free decal"
People would be annoyed (you're never going to please everyone), but relying on the same lazy story telling you've been doing for 3+ years with the prospect of ANOTHER grindy CG rubs the entire community the wrong way and was probably one of the worst path's they could have traveled down for this
No employees need be fired. This is director level failure.

I think fdevs underestimated the value of this event. All I've been hearing about Elite over the past week is about the cone sector expedition.
I fly with the AXI and we have literally like 2200+ cmdrs that booked the next few days for the sole purpose of exploring the cone sector.
*waves*
Best case scenario I can come up with is that FDev had something planned for Cone Sector but didn't get it finished in time, so they had to stall the jump.
They screwed up the Salome exploration CG by forgetting to include the assets for the Exodus ground bases in the previous update, so the game crashed when anyone tried to land.
They got rightfully chewed out for not testing it, so maybe this time they actually did some QA and realized they'd messed up.
If we get a patch next week we'll know what happened.
