State of the Game

Sorry, I mixed you up with another poster with a very similar name who opens thread after thread atm.
No worries, I'll keep the sanity of this thread intact.

Wakes up, looks into the forums.

Nope wasn't a dream, the list of killed off features of ED seems longer than the one actually implemented...

Need coffee...
May the coffee be with you.
I'm a little bit confused, did something happen yesterday? Did Frontier something stupid again? Can someone give me a summary?
I am not up to date at the moment because my work yesterday gave me some brain damage due to the stupidity of the user base in our company.
Where was I again ... oh yes cats

Your cats are sleepy too 😁

Nothing special, they just announced the VR we now have in Odyssey is what we get except of Bugfixes.
 
1000% that what became known as CQC was this integral to this pure PvP powerplay design but someone got out some charts and said "We'd get more player participation in poweplay if we made it part of the normal client with normal pve gameplay loops that we already have implemented and we'll think of something less popular to make pvp only so that we dont end up creating a lot of expensive content for something fewer players will decide to participate in and thus experience.

the only way you can have pvp only mechanics work in the game is with a client that uses a totally different network stack than the regular game client uses... making something like cqc (though implemented totally wrong) make much more sense as being developed when and how it was.

it's too bad such things are left up to fdev to development and implement. They're stuck in an organizational feedback loop guaranteed to produce subpar results.
No, this design was totally separate and a rework from the ground up, and it made a lot of sense because its bias was attack rather than defence (as is now).
 
Well, it's all fallout from the initial detonation.
Let's see what the world outside this thread looks like in a month or two.
I got a hazmat suit ready. :D
I would like to share your optimism but I can't get along with it.

I think the situation is now serious enough that I even stopped trolling to not make it worse further.

Anyway that's too on topic, so have a cat enjoying the weather:

are you talking about something that came after powerplay was released or an idea of how it should have been before what we got was released?

I figured since cqc came much later, it's inception was way earlier and could have been the initial idea around how powerplay would have been incorporated into the game ... only to be shelved (though a lot of work had already begun) early on in powerplay development .... and once powerplay was released, revived with a much more limited focus on some generic pvp arena gameplay ...minus all of the lore and bgs tie in that powerplay would have utilized.

i mean, otherwise we have to consider that fdev created cqc on purpose to be what it was from the start ....and that would just be silly...they wouldn't do something like that ...

This was about one / two months prior to the first flash topic regards Powerplay.
