You know one think i think FD are forgetting. The community, certain members, me included took part in a Kickstarter campaign that raised over £1.5 million pounds to throw at FD to help develop the game. Some say on this thread we (the players) are not entitled to anything and we should be thankful when the devs throw us a bone or two, bearing in mind since Horizons, nobody has paid a bean to play the game apart from maybe a few cosmetic purchases, which are obviously optional.
I have to disagree with the not entitled sentiment. One thing, and one thing only i am entitled to, is to be able to play the game, without having to constantly restart the game during a session, due to game breaking bugs that litter ED, and i'm on PC. They are getting worse judging by the Greek tragedies taking place with my console brothers, some of whom can't even login to play the game. Believe me when i say i am entitled to play the game, it's what i contributed to, it's what i expect to be able to do, without having to put myself through the latest patch, and find a load more gameplay issues that just add to the previous collection of not working features.
I honestly don't care who comes on from the devs and tells me there's a roadmap, and maybe the tiniest of hints about what is coming and how well everyone is communicating with each other because that is clearly not so. It's the wrong type of communication. We'd like some of the features that are already in game to actually work, without crashing the game. Actually complete certain features in the game so they work as intended instead of only half working. Too much of that going on i'm afraid from FD. Half finished ideas, that really need sorting out, instead of patches that just create even more issues, it's not funny. Communicate to us when these will be fixed, and we'll all be happy.
So to the devs, communicate with us when you are going to fix these issues, current and long standing, initiate regular bug fixes in weekly patches, that would really raise morale in the community and actually mend the broken trust that is clearly there at the moment. Don't just spend the money we gave you to buy pizzas, actually give us a product you can be proud of, so we can be proud to play it.
