pretty sure this patch is the best indicator yet, that frontier really no longer have control.
The highly addictive game that was ED, is no longer addicting.
and thanks to the non stop bugs that are NOT getting better at being dealt with
The once highly addictive game is no longer even interesting.
Sad as it may be, I think ED is done. There is no 'magic' anymore, now its only...why does this not work, over and over. This is beyond bad.
The ONLY thing happening anymore is all these people that paid to be the beta testers for what was advertised as a completed game, now fill the game and the forums while a very very large number of once addicted players move on having written off 7 years of their lives for nothing more than false promises unfulfilled.
even many of the discords are now NOT talking about ed.
I paid too, but don't touch EDO other than to verify certain things. Because many of us lost ships, tons of rep and tons of credits and many many more things, by playing in EDO for the first 2 weeks. It's only good point in all this time was free ammo. there is no game, there is no balance between what was and EDO, this is being done as it gets reported by the beta players.
new cmdrs will buy an enjoy for what we see so far is a week or 2 before they start complaining and dissing the entire game for lack of content....content they don't know about because they bought EDO, they bought the loop. thinking it was new game play.
I would still be happy to see a rollback, that won't happen, even if it did though, its not good enough. and Farrr to late.
It should have happened on day 1. Any one at frontier that thought this would work, has no clue about programming and merging programs. This I said in many ways when EDO released. Now they know. but they will not remember.
they had horizons to learn from, they repeated it in carriers, proving they did not learn or even remember.
EDO was far riskier because it was merging 2 programs, 1 nearly complete and 1 bare bones unedited. sad really, even MS would never attempt something like this.
this will be remembered. at least by all the people that are familiar with ED, will know to stay away.
understand the anger people have. the game was addictive. addicts get a large range of things to go through as they walk away from what they were addicted to.
now all we have is creamer...not good enough, not addicting, not fun.
its no fun being on either side of an addiction.
