State of the Game

Say what you want, but I'll give credit where it's due. These forums were becoming boringly relevant and almost on a positive curve with another patch approaching. But boy, did they manage to fix that! We're straight back into popcorn overdose territory.

I'm a bit worried over the lasting performance though. How can they further inflame the crowd now after those two huge NO? Apart from "we're done with optimisation, the performance you see now is what you get", I can't see it.
 
Found that one while you wait.

Oh there's still the modes to play with - they can always hint at changing the balance between them and it'll the OOPPocalypse all over again

Or just give the 'Conda a sensible mass.

Don't forget they also pushed Update 5 one week further away.

No idea what they could do to top that 🤷‍♀️

I think they’re just getting into their stride; they have plenty of scope for further entertainment!

“The lighting is how we planned it and it’s staying like that”
”Terrain generation is working as expected, and won’t be changed”
”The minimum spec is raised to a GTX3090, 64Mb of RAM, and an octa-core 4.75GHz cpu”
”Previously issued paint-jobs no longer function in Odyssey”
”Fleet Carrier upkeep is increasing by 50%”
”Power Play is open only from now on”

&c, &c, &c

One of the above was an actual statement at one point :)

I'm totally for that much ram 🤣

You know the first two are actually gonna happen, right?

“The lighting is how we planned it and it’s staying like that”
it's certainly different now than it used to be, which impacts things like paint jobs...so not sure how that would go given the laws with consumer protection on the european side of the ocean.

”Terrain generation is working as expected, and won’t be changed”
could be true, you can expect garbage and get garbage and the statement would be true.

”The minimum spec is raised to a GTX3090, 64Mb of RAM, and an octa-core 4.75GHz cpu”
I have 64gb of ram and a 24 core cpu. But i'll be damned if i touch an nvidia graphics card. Hell to the no. Radeon all the way.

”Previously issued paint-jobs no longer function in Odyssey”

Well they they dont function correctly...anyway.

”Fleet Carrier upkeep is increasing by 50%”

It can increase 100% and still not matter to anyone who can purchase one. Credits are infinite and freely available and there is no inflation in the game. You can print money doing stupid simple tasks to the point where they have no value.

”Power Play is open only from now on”

this is obviously fake, open mode in the client serves no purpose in giving pvp powerplay players what they want. it's a red herring. I can be open all day and just firewall off any p2p connections completely invisibly to the client - and it's trivial to do so.
 
The only thing they could do with more hilarious results than not listening to the players, is actually listening to the players
The forums then:

Fdev - how dare you!!!!11!!
<Insert pitchfork here>
Oh, wait, what? We get what we want? WOOOOOOOOOT

After this: World peace, no famines, no poverty l, no wars.
We will raise into a completely new and utopian golden age...

Ah, crap. Honestly, crap.
