State of the Game

We know you're just trying to get his stuphs out from under BH's nose. We saw your posts in the other thread for stuphs.

The Thread Sees All.
Hey - yer man had eleventy squintllion credits, fifty of every ship in the game, fully engineered, and over a hundred fleet carriers all genuinely earned for really reals in his trillion hours of playing the game.

Plenty of stuphs to go round.

only a slight exaggeration given the current "get rich quick " not-exploit-exploit of using your alt accounts you got for free thanks to Fdev and a fleet carrier to mission stack trade type missions on all your accounts simultaneously and wing up and then jump directly to the stations and turn in. Then repeat the same process. (having already acquired the mission objective commodity and stocked the fleet carrier with it)

making a billion credits an hour.
 
fdev is in a funny spot. They were too quiet .... but now they've decided to address the playerbase after the loonies have made their open letters and demands for respect and now those people feel empowered.


every post reads like some kind of text message between high schoolers who are dating but are currently broken up and trying to get back together.

it's pathetic.

Open letters work man - once they started using my template...

I'm very grateful to Lord Brebus for promising to include some of the features that were supposed to be in the next DLC (you know, the one they were expecting to be working on after Odyssey was released in Q1 2021) in the patches for the current disaster.

People were doing that off "the egg" even without Fleet Carriers. Amazing that the people screaming blue murder about the bugs in Odyssey (and yes, there were many!) had absolutely zero problems with the ones that allowed get rich quick schemes.

Someone worked out that he'd (if his claim of 15,000 hours in game was true) played 7 hours a day, every day, since launch. There's another thread that popped up where a guy is claiming he started in March of last year and has almost 3,000 hours. Again, over 7 hours a day, EVERY day. Same ones complaining that Frontier have swindled them with a dodgy game. I mean, its not like they've not gotten their money's worth!
 
Even worse, they then say that they cannot recommend the game. A game they devoted their lives to for 6 years... They can't recommend it. It makes me chuckle.

i somehow dont think a post about the future by the person who's statements about what would be in the game turning out to be contradicted by the company is going to convince those people upset about that to change their tune.

but i'm always open to being surprised by good fortune.

That's because you're not a True Believer in Brebus' Holy Gospel of Soon™

there's always people complaining about get rich quick schemes. But it's so constant, that it is like complaining to a wall. Most have given up that battle. Fdev wants them (most of the time) because it placates the players enough to ignore the grind and weak gameplay.

or, perhaps 12 hours a day for roughly half as many years. Or perhaps they're just botting it for the past 2-3 years at nearly 24 hours a day every other day - more or less.

regardless, the real complaints were about odyssey, which nobody is saying they've gotten thousands of hours in and still feel swindled. Plus, those that are and have played more than a couple hours are full of crap.

But measuring hours of play time with satisfaction in a game is always misleading.

An open ended game is about the cumulative experience you've had and a change made 2000 hours in that kills the game for you is no different than an update in a game with an ending that makes reaching that ending impossible.
 
More features = more items to skin = more micro transactions = more profit

Unless you're a Doomer you have to accept that FDev planned to do something after Odyssey, so we'll get some of that over the next 6-9 months just to keep the White Knights polishing their armor.
This thread is no place for serious discussion but honestly no, I never imagined that Elite would get another paid DLC after Odyssey and for clarity, that was my opinion before the Odyssey alpha (the actual alpha) even released. No DOOOOOM required, games have a shelf life and in terms of likely revenue for a future paid DLC vs likely development time (don't forget there was a six year gap between Horizons and Odyssey), I felt Elite had pretty much crapped its hole full. I can't say I've seen anything to change my mind on that. Not saying I imagined the servers getting turned off or anything (and indeed I still don't) just that it had probably run its course in terms of significant future development.
