Why FDev.. just why make this game so tedious on purpose?

You guys could take it with some humour instead of being defensive out of the box.

If you are offended, my apologies. <O
The indicated 'FDev and the way they treat us' at the start of the video, did not seem like a humourous approach - and that is why the post didn't seem to be a funny one, but one of complaint about the game.

Again, apologies if I misunderstood what was supposed to be a humourous and funny post.

Hmmm, a type 3 CMDR: Rush through the game, get bored, moan on here that there's no content, clear off, return occasionally to the forum to complain.
FD need to give a little virtual trophy with "game completed" on it to CMDRs who get to a big ship within a few days, that way they'll think they've won and move on quietly.

Are we now a psychologist? Did i say anything about the lack of content? Albeit it beeing 99% the same icerocks, there is plenty of content in this game.

The topic at hand is why there are gameplay mechanics that are deliberately annoying

Oh, so you think they are deliberately trying to annoy you? Maybe to punish you too?
Suddenly the things are starting to look a lot worse.

As i said, if you think Crystalline shards are bad, go shoot rocks on a 0.14g planet. See how high those fragments can go
At least the shards can fill your bins in 30-45 minutes. Faaar better than any other alternative.

Or you could go play a game that's entertaining for you. Don't get me wrong, it's a genuine advice.
It's a game and it is supposed to be entertaining. If somewhere along the way the entertainment value goes to zero it is time to move on.

Another complainer 🥱
Like others have said, if you don't like a particular part of the game then do something else.
If the game itself is not to your liking then play something else. I hear that Candy Crush is pretty awesome.

Not if a non engineered ship can not stand a chance against an engineered ship in open and you get ganked constantly. So should i not play open because it is optional?

Modes are like engineering and the game itself and your approach to it it's all totally optional. Do what you enjoy, even if that's moaning in the forum (or not).

Personally I can escape gankers in an unengineered sidey and do exactly that just for fun, it's a bit like taking a snowspeeder up against ATAT's one slip and you're toast. All good fun though, even if it goes wrong.

see above. Engineering is basically mandatory.

Still not the point. God why are you all so uptight?

I enjoy both the game and the forum, nothing at all for me to be uptight about 🤷‍♀️.

Time spent hunting the mats needed to engineer stuff for <insert reason> is a bit tedious tbh. If the quantity of mats obtained was greater then perhaps it wouldn't be so. Myself, when I decided to get the mats needed for my exploration build (FSD, booster, lightweight mods, etc.), it got dull after a couple of hours each session and had to break off. I eventually met my goal but the thought of going back to that same routine was off-putting to say the least, albeit I decided to break the monotony by taking up the odd mission now and then. :)

Oh are we back again at what i should do and not do... That is not helpful. And yes, i think a lot of decisions in this game are made deliberately to spread the gametime out.This is not good game design (you can agree or not). Just look at the other thread with the t6 landing on the sole landing pad at 15km out. That stuff is made to lengthen the game with force.
This is also okay, i will not expect a lot of understanding or backup in this place, since it is only natural that the people enjoying it fully participate in this forum and the people that see it for what it is (a game that could be so much better) moved on a long time ago. I am also neither trying to convince you of something nor getting FDev to improve the game, because i know that it will not happen. I just think this is a funny conversation and shows that there is an actual wounded point in this community.

1.Not using turret/driving at same time is a bit annoying so not using it is fine, just though I should mention it.
2.A five second jpeg of a dog followed bu 1.90 min of unedited/unnarrated gameplay is not informative nor sarcastic,far better to just explain in words what you have issue with.
3.If this is being defensive I hate to see what I'm like when I'm accepting! :giggle:

See us/Treat us - I believe you are saying we are being treated like dogs asked to fetch.

If I am wrong in my interpretation, again my apologies - it still didn't seem like the post was made to be humourous.

But you say it was, so I have apologised for not seeing the humour in the post - that's pretty much all I can do sir <O

Isn't it interesting that you complain about the lenght of a video of the gameplay loop but enjoy the gameplay loop?

It is deliberatly as long as it is to actually hammer the point home. A simple piece of text would not do it justice.

Being critical of something you've bought isn't wrong in any way. What kind of logic is that? Imagine saying a food someone ordered should not be criticized if something's lacking about it simply because you yourself enjoyed it..... Criticism is to show what could be improved.
