I want to see someone from FDev get fired because of this. Enough is enough.

No. It may have been a bad misstep, but that's what it was, a misstep. Bad stuff happens, sometimes. I fully expect there is more to the story.
 
Actually he did exactly what thousands of players constantly asked him to do. Show real time attacks on stations and make Thargoids a real threat.

Point taken, although it's one thing to implement these wishes and on the other hand destroy a player driven initiative simultaneously. They could have done both without one interfering with the other.
 
Sorry Will

But I can't beleive that you guys sit around a table discussing that this is how the Gnosis lore will unfold. Having a Galnet news item appearing & telling us all what'll be happening in 8 hours time is amateurish.

With the disappointment of last Friday's announcements on what's NOT coming in Q4 anymore & now this pewpewfest & no Cone Sector, I wonder what other disappointments lie in wait for the Exploration community.

With respect frontier made it abundantly clear the gnosis was jumping into a hot-zone. Canonn probably didnt entirely want this. But they went to a lot of trouble to warn people.

Even galnet went live early. How much more of a klaxon is required? Half the forum called it for god's sake.
 
I have been on and off the gnosis several times.... it's tense.

My one gripe is that once I was smoked as the pad rised up so not much chance of anything but death.

Other than that, if you time your exit well you can be away before the nasty bugs can catch you.

absolutely. they could have let the Gnosis jump and had some station in the bubble have real time attacks
that would satisfy two camps at once

Yeah right... They did produce a surprising and emergent gameplay content but still people complain.. pfft.

I just want to see the bright side on this instead of complaining on everything, as it seems to be the trend here..
 
I am out. No salt here, it was a great fun to bump into them.
Interesting is there was a single Hydras there.

They fixed a bug when players being able to drag them close to the station, but later Scouts arrived and were shooting through the station destroying ships inside.

They messed up introducing no-fire zone for Thargoids themselves close to the station,
and leaving no-fire zone for players.
 
I have been watching Kaltern's live stream.

Aside from the fact that he is in way over his head (two Corvette rebuy's so far), he's made an important point: This is the new Thargoid gameplay. They will be attacking you *inside* the stations (with the disable effect), on the pads, and close inside the no-fire zone. They will be swarming you with saturation attacks. Amazingly, this could be what some players have long desired. A burning bubble. The Gnosis itself has variable functionality, depending on how bad the raid is. Also, if you don't pay your fines, tough luck. No service for you.

So, the "wow" factor is that you get killed fast, in formerly safe places. Everywhere there have been attacks, expect much, much worse combat environments. No hiding out, regardless of mode. The Thargoid ships fire without warning. Massed fires, Soviet style.

So, our promised brave new world will be a combat oriented one. Prepare to be re-prioritized. That is the neat new content we have been getting hyped for. It's hard to mine and explore under constant Thargoid attack.

After the update, I will be selling ships like mad, and moving 20,000+ light years. Have fun. Frontier has done the Great Reveal today.
 
I admit I haven't followed anything about the Gnosis past weeks- work and stuff but...

What's the big deal with this?

FD slipped up and posted Galnet early regarding a CG to lure Thargoids away

Explorers thinking this is going to be a Sunday drive are now surrounded by Thargoids not hidden in optional POIs

The C+P has had unintended side effects of sending people away due to fines
 
WOW...
Did not read every post, but in general it looks like a mess...
Is Elite Dangerous ready for prime time?
It looks like every "major" event that could make this game excel is in one way or another flawed by poor execution.

These are just my thoughts...
 
This is Elite's the biggest fail this year IMHO.

What because a few Commanders didn't check the NFZ .. permanently enabled across every station in the Galaxy .. hadn't been actively switched off before opening fire and got nailed? If you were fined disabled over a pad that's unlucky and I'm totally sympathetic but if you're trigger happy then situational awareness is still a thing.
