I cannot wait until Eagleboy wakes up and creates a thread explaining why this is good news!

Settle down cmdr or that'll be a 4 point infraction, just kidding!

Right, I don't think anyone is crazy enough to defend this sort of situation.

I'm not even a PVE player and I was incredibly excited for this event because "new" content.

On a sideline.. why ain't you all in bed?? Noone is usually up at this time of the morning


We are all here for the memes, obviously.
 
FDev shouldn't be telling a story. They should be providing the props and setting the stage.

We should be doing the storytelling.
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.

Of course we/they do. You/we/they have banked on a system that surrenders any potential for agency to developer fiat.
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.
 
Having just come back from a night out to see this, I have to say I smiled and nodded my head.
It's so spot on.

The throwaway courier was the right choice after all.

Sole Hunter "Forum Griefer"; now that's funny.
 
Agreed. Let’s see the fanbois justify this one.

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.

Not picking at you specifically, as you are not the first to say something like this, but you really shouldn't poke at him.

His optimism and positive energy are something that a great many on this forum could learn and benefit from, to be honest.

If I'm being honest, he might very well not know what to say at all. Not because this seems to be pretty indefensible, but because it's so stunningly bad that it almost defies belief.

I am staying on the Gnosis, and I'll see what happens. If it ends up being as bad as it looks, well, I'm picking up the new Spider-Man game at 9pm, and that just means more time to enjoy that.

I'd rather enjoy this piece of content first.

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

Therefor, the most likely.

*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.

I give this about a 5% chance of being accurate.

Too Easy.

This is an opportunity to have a fun filled multi-tiered CG until Q4 comes online.

Forget your troubles, c'mon get happy...
ya put your cares away...
Sing hallelujah c'mon get happy...
Get ready for judgement day!

At least I avoided to start at all, because of the "early posting" of the bad news. Just in time!

Thanks Frontier!!!! [up]
 
I'm going to have to add the Gnosis fail jump to my post summarizing the most glaring issues that FD hyped up and then failed to deliver when the results were expected: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...lue-for-LEPs?p=6977006&viewfull=1#post6977006

Seriously, does anyone actually expect anything out of FD at this point other than more delays and more grind? I actually don't know what I'd do if FD actually delivered some meaningful content in the game, I'd probably need to submit a bug report for "not working as intended".

Not finishing something in time. That needs to replace right on commander as the games by line.
