One month later: Missing paint packs and Tactical Ice & Graphite paints.

I can honesty say I'm not desperate at all about the currently reported unavailability of an internet spaceship paintjob. This could be linked to me being in the never buy any cosmetics whatsoever category of gamers.

Somewhat baffled as to how anyone else could actually be upset about it would be more accurate.

The freebies are nice though aren't they :D(y).
I bought sunglasses.
 
If you don't care, that's fine. Repeatedly reminding everyone of how little you care does not contribute anything meaningful to the discussion, though.

Its a thinly veiled strawman and ad hominem in one. I already have the paints so this doesn't impact me the slightest, and said so. I couldn't be less 'desperate' if I tried. But Stigbob has a tendency to become quite nasty when someone says something, anything, about FD that he finds too negative. He'll immediately jump into 'lol u mad bro!' mode.

There is no forum rule that specifies a minimum level of upsetness to post in a thread.

You need to be upset to decode humour as nastiness.
 
To be 100% Honest, with the move to the "ARX" points to be used as the only means to buy from the store, I will no longer be buying any thing for the store.
Forcing people to start the game to use the store is not the way to do thing's, just one more nail in the coffin.

It's almost like FDev want's the game to fail, maybe I am missing something.

Same for me. I have not bought a single paintjob since the Arx introduction. I have spent many euros before Arx and own dozens of paint jobs and a handful of ship kits.
Reason 1. I do not first buy fake currency in amounts that do not fit the price of what I actually want to buy. This is a significant hurdle for me.
Reason 2. Having to start the game first to buy a paintjob really is a very effective deterrent.

In the end it saves me a lot of money. So perhaps Arx is a good thing.

Greetings Commanders,

Some paint jobs that were available prior to 3.5 may not be in the store at the moment, but they will arrive in the future. We will regularly be rolling out these paint jobs, along with other new ones, over time. We thank you for your patience and are monitoring your feedback and passing it on to the team!

Thanks!


Thank you Stephen.
Sorry for not pinging you too in the initial post, but Paige and Will made the initial ARX announcements.

Anyway, as i said, thank you for the answer. It is not the answer i wanted, but it is still an answer

So, let's hope the Tactical Ice and Graphite will soon join their Tactical Crimson, Cobalt, Khaki and Olive brothers in the store.

How about the paint packs?
As it stands now (iirc), the only paint pack is the Cobra OnionHead Pack made of OnionHead and Green Pirate paints.

PS> quite slick move with the Phantom Snake paints 🤑
 
but they will arrive in the future

Sorry, but this is B-S. In the future I can fly to the Moon, you know? It can happen tomorrow or by 40 yrs. Why so EVASIVE? Why can't you give us straight answer. For how long are going to dwell about two damned paints? How many threads about these damned paint are going to create and write the same thing over and over?

You're are making a fool out of us. I don't believe that lack of these paints is caused by some sort of coding error in the store. Yeah, but this is your circus and we're the monkeys running insinde of your machine, you can do anything regarding the game and tell us whatever you want without any consequences. The only thing that's is going to move you is a sh.tstorm throughout reddit and youtube.
I must say I can't fully enjoy the game because my favorite color is not present, the FD staff is very evasive when asked about the lack of colors.

for NOW - I'm switching my positive ED review on steam to NEGATIVE (n):mad:(n) My in-game friend did the same thing. There will be more.

Open letter time :LOL: ?.

Make sure it says 4000+ hours played not recommended for proper steam review comedy gold.

I did that with my PS4 review some time ago, for different reasons. Never changed it back. Probably never will.

Verdict is still out on PC version. The shadows are nice, I have to give em that. Too bad they broke my buttery-smooth framerate with stuttering and Max Headroom FOV-pop, but this is Frontier we're talking about.
 
Am I understanding this correctly.

Folk are giving negative Steam reviews for ED because the Tactical White/Graphite currently cannot be purchased?
