New patch

Server Player Cap: 50

LOL

 

[Asp Explorer]

Hopefully the full might of 50 players in their Idrises won't be enough to stop the onslaught of whichever insidious threat is inbound to the hapless Stanton system and it gets nuked into oblivion and declared a no-jump zone in their rich and deep lore.

That will hopefully allow them to introduce some other system they've been hard at work on for the last decade that isn't a boring mangled mess of something a Banu left on the doormat.

The xenothreat event is delayed to the beginning of new year.

Someone over there pointed out a cute instance of CI¬G's… strained… relationship with the word “sell”:

That last line.

Yes, they were definitely not pressured to move forward with the event when they decided to make a big deal out of it before they had ensured that it would actually work.

There are only 2 more days in the week really.

I can't imagine they say this on monday, and aren't able to publish it this week.

But it is CIG, so........

hmmmm........

perhaps i should retract this

In shock news, the special event has been delayed to next year:

So they've already delivered on the dynamic part of the Dynamic Event.

 

[metatheurgist]

Time for a roadmap to the Event?

 

[Tippis]

I'm sure they'll put it on the roadmap once the roadmap to the roadmap comes out.

 

[Surefoot]

Yeah by the way, we were supposed to get a roadmap to the roadmap, months ago. Maybe we get that in 2021 ?

 

[WotGTheAgent]

A "press release" on IGN ain't free or inexpensive. Glad to see CIG spending backer money like it doesn't matter.

This is just pathetic.

Wow, the marketing must have worked really well. Must have netted enough new backers so they could push it back

So, we had a go/no-go meeting and the decision was no-go. But we are excited to show this and hope to bring it to you soon. Anyway, please keep in mind January is planning week so we will be reevaluating our plans and priorities for the coming year.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

If we take this at face value it would seem like devs were wanting to tell management that there were issues and management were going lalalaalalaalaa can't hear you.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Well, you did put in the disclaimer.

Anyway, looking forward to the new roadmap!

Having playing on ptu for the past 2 days back to back all I can say is while the server cap of 40 players + back end services improvement significantly made everything buttery smooth ..

For example - area 18 downtown core 55fps Lorville - Tessa space port 53 fps New Babbage - promenade 43 fps Po / r&r (L1 all sites ) - 62 fps Ins Jericho - 62 fps

And for the first time I personally felt like .. it was almost like I was in eve online ( I was there moment ) for those who know what I m talking about but with SC immersion and diesel oft , it was amazing got 2 idris mission man it was epic AF

But with all that great stuff , the issues were also happening ..

Random client crash ( no 30ks ) full on exit crash to the debug page ..

Some how Hammerheads were spawning like crazy in the missions , like instead of 2 HH there was like 5-6 so while the party size was growing to combat this npc bug/feature lol it was just too difficult to complete + the random crash ( not 30k ) was not helping either .

So I guess the choice was smooth play game for random crash .. or revert back to 50 cap players + backend improvement minus that mission .. I would say this was a good business decision even though PR wise it may sound bad ..

Oh and also it’s still slated for 3.12.x and it’s alpha so m sure that plays into that “ fine print “

My specs - RYZEN 3700 Rtx 3070 32 gb 1tb nvme

Buttery smooth... 55 fps in loreville, with a Ryzen 3700 and RTX3070.

My buttery smooth rear end.
