Can no longer reply to my own thread because I was trolled out and finally gave in replying to the troll and now im blocked from it despite having reported him multiple times. What a stupid rule that is. SO back to what I was saying about this game. Its awful and there are a million reasons why. It could be the best game on xbox but its nothing but a frustrating slew of bugs and glitches.

I wanted to thank the last person who commented for his response, it was a good one but he seemed to completely ignore the fact that the issues im having are not on my end.. its not that I need practice or and new Ive had the game for 4 years. It simply doesn't work!

This was my response:

Unfortunetly as I am struggling to explain all the issues im having im also venting and the facts are getting lost in the translation. The interdiction is easy to escape the reason I was venting about that in my rant was because it happens every single trip. I have a fairly good ship that can put up a good fight but my target keeps disappearing and moving to a way point on some distant planet or moon in some random place in the galaxy. So again the issue is not on my end.. I cannot target the enemy with gimbeled/ turrets. I've owned this game for 4 yrs and the bugs on xbox just make it unplayable.

I made most of my credits traveling and selling maps*. One thing that does work well is the scanning and mapping of undiscovered systems. Its about the only thing that works for me until the enemy pops up if im holding cargo then I dont stand a chance because I cant target him. When I arrive at stations the missions list doesn't load from the server (another very common bug) sometimes for days so my missions run out of time.. if the missions do load my cargo is empty when I arrive at the destination, despite having picked up the supplies. When I try to land on planets most of the time I get the horizons bug. Its an endless nightmare of traveling long distances for nothing and ending up getting destroyed and losing any credits I did manage to earn.

Id like to join a squad i think, when I first got this game my intention was to master it before joining anyone else and Ive mastered flying/ and all the controls. I just cant complete missions no matter how hard I try. I want to explore.. I want to upgrade.. the only thing I hate is mining I dont enjoy it at all. My ultimate goal is to explore and discover the game as I go but recently Ive been joining co-op or multicrew and its fun but its also a HUGE spoiler cause ive seen and experienced ships that are far beyond what Ive had. Ive seen tutorials and spoilers of things I had no idea existed in this game and now its sort of spoiled. Theres nothing left for me to discover Ive seen it all on youtube and in these forums.

So now Im reviewing the game and i think its a huge flop. More or less so because it has the potential to be the best game on xbox but its simply unplayable in its current form. Thanks for the reply Im sure it may help a noob with a PC but for xbox players.. I want a refund. I was so stoked for the horizons upgrade when I bought it.. and ive never been able to enjoy it. Its just been a waste of money and HUGE waste of time. It is the most unfulfilling annoying and repetitive tedious game play ive ever experienced. If only It worked the way it was intended to this game could easily be the best game on xbox.

Im not a full time gamer so I wont be dishing out for a VR and PC any time soon but if it worked Id be all over it. This game looks and feels like an answer the game Ive always dreamed of playing but its a nightmare in disguise.

EDIT: I keep remembering more bugs just so many to list Its hard to keep track. For several days I was not able to reattach my shield gen. I stored it to make more room for cargo as I had taken a mission with 2000+ cargo with very limited space. Im trying to earn credits but just before completing I got the server bug again and the time ran out. I wasted over 12 hrs on that one on and off. Then I tried to reattach my shield and it would not reattach.. the option was just gone.. until yesterday.

Thats not what I wanted to add to this there was another issue.. I will have to come back cause I forget. My brain is scrambled. I spend the entire day jumping back and forth for nothing. I ow credit. Oh I remember now.. I got a fine for smashing into someone at a station.. there is no option to pay the fine. Not anywhere... not in the system or station it happened or anywhere else.. Its like the game is glitching and bugs are appearing everywhere. I wont be sitting down to play this game for a while so hopefull when I come back to it these rediculous issues will be resolved. Until then Im singing off and going back to reality. Worst weekend ever!

Hmm I'd think that maybe your network connections causes extra problems. Though I do not know anything about console versions. For PC I'd say game works most of time. When it does not work it is usually after patch day, when all kinds of new and interesting bugs are manifested. Usually game killer bugs are dealt within reasonable time.
 
I'm not sure if this is what you're describing, but it sounds like when you fight back the enemy run away and disappear. Is this correct? You fight them for a bit but can't kill them?

If this is the case, what happens is that the enemy jump into supercruise or to another system. If the former you can stop them if you get an interdictor. The later you can do a high energy wake scan (don't know what the module to do this is called, I'm new to the game) and follow them.

I know the game, especially consoles have had several bugs since the last update, the one you described with modules for example.
 
It's sad that console players have that lot of bugs. As already mentioned above, a cheap PC really could be a good solution.
I play on PC from 2011 - i5 3570, 8GB RAM, GTX660 Ti, standard HDD. ED runs smoothly & looks awesome in very high settings.
Today that kind of PC wouldn't cost you much...

Don't get me wrong, it is important to report issues and give your impressions, that is the only way for FD to improve the game. :) But I have absolutely no clue what that line means. As in, I understand every single word in that sentence but the combination is gibberish to me. Its an issue throughout the post, and I suspect it would make it hard for FD to extract relevant criticism from it beyond that you are obviously upset about whatever happens. :/

I suspect that OP might refer to the situation, when an NPC enemy ship jumps (running away from player) to some named system in the galaxy, but when we follow, we find nothing on the other side. It looks like the target disappeared at it's destination.
I already had this issue while chasing mission targets. When I returned back to the system from where it jumped, my target was there awaiting me. It's a game of cat & mouse, pretty annoying though...

No when I target the NPC my targets focus stays on the NPC for about 5-10 seconds before jumping to a random moon somewhere.. Its hard to fight back when you cant target. Its a bug 100% the game is flawed on xbox. I check all my controls Im not clicking anything. I sat idle just to see and watched as my target jumped to some random moon behind me.

At one point I got so fed up with trying to play the game I decided to travel to the target and it was a moon that I could not land on because Horizons only works about 20% of the time while playing. Yesterday I sold my cargo ship for a viper and thought maybe ill have better luck. I took on a mission to hunt some pirate. The mission statement says to go to Morey Station.. but when I open the map while accepting the mission it leads me to some other place. There is no Morey station there. I traveled to it and still no morey station anywhere. So I searched it and its about 40 jumps away. Im not doing that. This game sucks. Nothing works. Everything is flawed. And this forum is full of trolls who keep replying without offering any help. So I will continue bashing this crappy game and its crappy community cause so far thats all it is.

P.S before you reply about this comment I have posted over 20 issues with this game so far. This is not even the half of it!

My actual target not the enemy! Your response is borderline troll idk why im even engaging it. Xbox needs to offer refunds on this game. That is the only solution rn until they can make it work. Otherwise its nothing but a nightmare and waste of money.
 
Are we now talking about same game, Elite Dangerous? Meaning I have never had any of those issues. Mission target system works, combat target system works, and so on. Maybe you have some odd corruption on your game, perhaps reinstalling may correct some of those issues.

You might like to see if the patch being released on the 3rd Oct fixes some of your issues, you never know some things might actually work. ;)



Just FYI there are quite a few stations with "Morey" in their name but, surprisingly, there is no "Morey Station" so I wonder what system you were in? (You can search for stations on places like EDDB etc.)

Last up - your target changing issue really does sound like a control assignment issue, has anyone in the XBox sub-forum been able to shed light on this or maybe someone there has heard of it before? (Although as far as I can see you have only ever posted in this sub-forum, nothing in the XBox one - why not?)

Honestly, I still dont get what you;re trying to say. The target but not the enemy? Your target was not the enemy? So confusing...
 
Dude, you ask people for help with your problem then come on here and insult them if they either Can't read your bloody mind, or Don't understand what it is your are trying to say.

"Not sure how I can help you its pretty clear. WHEN I T A R G E T an enemy. THE T A R G E T disappears and instead locks on to some random planet/moon somewhere.. WHICH I C A N N O T land on anyway since H O R I Z O N S never works. Hope that helps. Maybe take an english course or something in between games."

I didn't understand what the heck you were talking about and I read and write in the English (American) language quite well. So let's get your points of information laid out here.

TARGET = an enemy
TARGET = disappears
??? = Locks onto some random planet/moon somewhere
CANNOT land = HORIZONS never works.

Okay, now that we have that established, lets get into your lack of giving a clear objective in your statement causing confusion.

??? = disappears...You state that "THE T A R G E T disappears and instead locks on to some random blahblahblah...

Here is the crux of your inability to coherently put together a statement because of your rage against the game and thus your rage against someone who appears to be honestly wanting to help you. Had you have stated:

"The Target disappears and then my targeting system locks on some random blahblahblah..."

Now, in this way, we can see that 1) you were locked onto a Target 2) said Target disappeared and 3) your targeting system, no longer having said Target to lock onto, then searched for and found another target. Then we could have told you that the Target either High Waked or Low Waked out and left you sitting there with your guns blazing and nothing at which to shoot.

As it appears you are having a total system failure with the game on your Xbox One, as has been stated, maybe you should go to the Xbox One forum to ask about why your Xbox is acting like it has been possessed by the ghosts of a thousand Thargoids and is totally ruining your Gaming Experience.

People in this forum will go out of their way to help people if they ask...But that helpfulness will only go so far as the attitude you give back in return. The attitude you have displayed to some, in my experience, Extremely Helpful Commanders would probably have gotten you black-listed and ignored on other game forums I have been on in the past. The people here do not have to help you. They can sit there and laugh at you, call you a neener head, and go about their day...Para Handy showed GREAT restraint in his reply after you bad mouthed and insulted members of this forum. And I salute his show of aplomb in handling the matter...

I, on the other hand, not showing so much aplomb.

So you can take this how ever you wish...read it and learn from it, print it out and throw darts at it...I don't care.

I do hope that you get your problems with the game worked out. It is a very tough to learn, but very fun game to play.

Take Care and Check Six Commander o7
 
Sounds like the only remedy is to buy a PC. ;)

Sorry.

Anyway, I made a serious follow-up reply to the OP ( @Atomwar ) in the other thread, you can reply to me here if you need to.

P.S. Sorry to all the console players as they do seem to be having a terrible time with bugs at the moment according to the issue tracker.
I was a console player once, and then I took a PC to the knee.

Except for Red Dead Redemption, I still play that on console :p
 
BTW, F D posted this afternoon re the console issues:

"Hey Commanders,
............
The team has investigated the disconnect and mission list communication issue for console players, and we have implemented a change that should reduce the amount of times players encounter this.
However, if you have any further problems, please let us know."


 
Okay, I was asked over from the xbox elite forum, Can the OP please add me on xbox Gt: Aj31091, ill will get on with you and take you through everything you have discussed here, a video or clip would be so advantageous here..
