I started playing in July this year.
Yeah it was brilliant when i first started playing aswell.
wild claims that could be verified or denied with some simple research
Off you go then

Original reply already redacted prior to your reply.Well if i was wrong i was wrong but i was under the impression that was what had been announced. I must admit i dont keep up with current events. No need to be like that about it.
Where in that is anything saying 'we have diverted people from working on the 2020 update'?Edit: From steam: As mentioned in October, our upcoming updates will be almost exclusively focused on addressing recent and longstanding issues and bugs. The next update will be our first step as part of that - and it will be coming towards the end of January. So in light of this... whos working on 2020 again?

Well, we will know in less than a year...Its all good anyway. Only complaint i can see that you might have with my post is the word all. I didnt say they diverted anybody from anywhere. I mean stuff like legs, thats a couple year project? Or one year? So they know right now at this moment whats coming in 2020. Shoot the messenger if it pleases you, to the room in general. I just think it would be better to manage expectaions now rather than hype people up to a no show once again.
Thats not nice. I dont want to be baited into FSS talk in here, this is not the thread for it.
They are selling dreams and not delivering. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three times?
You are the FSS guy you might as well own it
They sold a video game. Some people built it up to ludicrous heights of their private fantasy whilst ignoring what was actually said and on offer. Others bought in knowing exactly what it was and as such are perfectly happy with what they got.
No im not. Iv been noticably absent for a couple weeks at least and i came back to find those poor souls still begging frontier and still being ignored. The forum piles on until the thread is closed again and the toxic element wins another victory over people who liked the game. Im happy they managed without me and the myth blaming me can be dispelled for good.
Yeah but its not like stuff didnt meet expectations, it just didnt arrive full stop. People got told (about carriers) if i recall right, only a couple weeks before it was due to drop. It would be very hard to convince me they didnt knowingly string people along for the best part of a year. At least. This is bad behaviour that doesnt deserve defence.
minor teething issue bugs
As mentioned in October, our upcoming updates will be almost exclusively focused on addressing recent and longstanding issues and bugs. The next update will be our first step as part of that - and it will be coming towards the end of January. So in light of this... whos working on 2020 again?
But knowing how Frontier loves exploration and explorers, they have read the many long threads about the desire to have an ADS like mechanism in the game, and I'm sure a significant part of the 2020 update will expand on the exploration tools which will provide for the explorers who are missing that functionality without compromising the players who are currently enjoying exploration.One thing you can count on though, the ADS isn't coming back. Sorry Burke.![]()
The New Era, whatever it is, will come. The question of whether it will be worth the wait or not is another matter entirely. We'll know one year from now, unless it slips into 2021.
Most of the post was complete rubbish. Some was actual literal nonsense. Do you really want me to go through it and point it all out?Only complaint i can see that you might have with my post is the word all.
I didnt say they diverted anybody from anywhere.
Something that stands out to me. All efforts have been directed towards bug fixing, ok we know this. So whos making the 2020 content right now? Unless the dinosaur team is working on it in secret for the massive reveal.... then nothing is actually coming in 2020 either.
Is there actually some kind of point being made here in the context of the rest of the post?I mean stuff like legs, thats a couple year project? Or one year? So they know right now at this moment whats coming in 2020.
What messenger? Messengers in that context are people who deliver a message which someone else has provided, or deliver objective factual information.You're not doing either. So you might get a few shots at you for pretending to be a messenger, but that's not shooting the messenger, and is actually pretty fair, no?Shoot the messenger if it pleases you, to the room in general.
Coming out with a load of rubbish, and conjuring up extreme and off the mark scenarios isn't managing expectations.I just think it would be better to manage expectaions now rather than hype people up to a no show once again.
But some never do finish saying goodbye.And people say the ED community is toxic... It's the only game I'm aware where people are so polite that they come here to say goodbye when they stop playing.
You already know in your heart that it wont be. Perhaps im overly cynical but i see the entire thing as one big scam. I dont think ice planets were ever coming, infact in the hype shots where you couldnt quite tell if it was meant to be art or the real thing, i always thought the ice textures looked stolen from a below zero concept anyway. But yeah no ice. Probably wasnt even worked on past those few pictures.
Carriers... how many people seriously beleive that frontier really planned to release carriers? Or if they did that nobody knew until right before release that they wernt coming? Prove to me that there was anything more than a false ad campaign that got some space in the usual gaming publications. Put the game on sale, wring out a few more mugs. That is the MO isnt it? Live off the churn, cater to the newer player. Existing players can adapt or leave?
Anyway. Roll on 2020![]()
Seems like a massively overcomplicated and contrived conspiracy theory to me
A company delays content releases, thus delaying the next paid expansion, all part of their sinister plan to make, uh, less money.Seems like a massively overcomplicated and contrived conspiracy theory to me. Apply Occam's razor to it which requires the least assumptions :
1. FDEV plotted years in advance to change the DLC delivery method feigned an upcoming update and manipulated people into asking for bug fixes rather than releases to retrospectively justify their "delaying" the pretend content that doesn't really exist. This somehow benefited them for inadequately explained reasons.
2. Burke is very very cross because of the FSS, and tells everyone so all the time.
I'm going with 2, since its a single obvious fact and 1 is bonkers.
