2.3 Stream on [All 2.3 feature discussions here please.]

I mean I hate to spoil your fun laughing at folk who care about things that you personally don't and all, but perhaps the people who freak out at the idea of telepresence and the people who want long hair are... you know. Different people?

You can't use Immersion as an excuse in one case, and then dismiss it in another.

That just proves they don't actually care about immersion, pretty much disqualifying their first argument altogether.

...did you actually read what I wrote?

On top of which: that's utter nonsense. Immersion's not a binary state that's affected exactly the same way for everyone. It's perfectly possible to have your immersion broken by telepresence but not by, say, instant ship transfers. Or the other way round. Or by both. Or by neither.

I'm being sarcastic.

I care little of people's immersion.

You don't have to use it if it's that much of a concern. IE ship transfer.

In regards to the hair thing and no fair, where do you draw the line?
Turbans?
Hijabs?
Kippah?
Tattoos on the scalp?
Giant squirrels?
Eye patch?
Can I have a long flowing beard with all my adornments?
Glitter beard?
Man bun?
Flaming skull head?


Short answer. NO. I can't. So I simply get over it. I work with what was generously provided by frontier and get over it.
You don't always get what you want.

I still wish they added Salt as a commodity, I'd have alot of fun hemorrhaging it at CG stations. In all seriousness though the hair thing makes sense for both technicality AND for lore. Admittedly I would love to read some DD forums complaining how long hair was getting some spaced due to it obstructing their vision at critical moments.
 
Flaming skull head?

Yes please, also eyepatch, parrot on shoulder and and pirate hat option please. LOL

The bottom line is that it would be a lot of effort for FD to implement long hair properly and lore/immersion leans on the side of not implementing it at all........easy choice for FD, but the resulting salt eruption on the forums is entertaining to watch.
 
It is. I mean honestly. Rule of 80.

20% may not like what they get. It sucks but that's life.

80% did like it. Best you can hope for. Hit that target and let the rest salt. You can't please everyone and only a fool chases that

Yes, it's perfectly possible to just inconsistently apply expectations for a defined universe and expect them to be followed by the developer, knowing in which cases immersion is and isn't important to every single person.

Are you explaining that immersion is subjective? Because that is not a revelation. That only supports what I said.

I was just thinking. Now that you can get the camera right up to the ship, I can finally fly the Annie from the observation deck. I will greatly enjoy pseudo-waking around my ship, as well.

One step closer to this being a reality with 2.3:

That's it, unless I can have my bow tie hair style or my whirly bird head then I'm not playing you ED!

Long hair?

Don't know what all the fuss is about....all this fits under a helmet just fine [yesnod]

But will I be able to re-create this in Holo-Me? Not unless they have Zoltan Chievey from the Witcher or Gimli from LOTR as presets [squeeeee]

Channeling your inner 'Billy Connolly' with pic 2 there ;)

I'd be easy to create, a massive bowling ball with a face drawn on would be an accurate representation of my head :p
