Am I getting too old but is the new content too difficult to access?

I keep miss reading that sentence and finding it disturbing.<Snip>
Sorry folks, next week instead of next month!
(blaming the drugs for the fractured arms I have at the moment!)
Why did the drugs break your arms?
Which is why I almost never do missions.
Also: Arms? As in: Multiple? As in: Both? I thought that happens only in TV sitcoms.
You've listed the reasons I haven't played in months. Just add "waste our time with a known goose chase" which was the icing on the cake.
It was sort-of fixed. The frequency of NHSS threat 4 signals was increased in alerts but now all thargoid-related signals disappear as soon as a system reaches completion, so by the time tuesday/wednesday rolls around there's barely anywhere left with things to do.
Oy! Both arms?<Snip>

yeah, what we all meant but failed to say: Get better, dude!
Not a fan of such git gud replies.
Oh... you meant that other thing. Yup, speedy recovery! o7
I'm old too, but new content is just yawn boring...
I'm 6000+ hours in and still not past the tutorial.
I don't know what that means. If you want to say something, say it. Do you disagree with how the Titan content was put out? Do you think it would have been better if it was dumped all at once on the players? If you followed along with the stages in the Titan content, it's not too difficult to do whatever shenanigans you aim to do there.
Maybe because I should have said the drugs I have to take to stop the pain from my arms would help clarify the situation.
As in both, as in thrown over the handlebars of my bike, throwing your arms forward to protect your head and landing on them on the road. That happened about five weeks ago and I've been dealing with two fractures, one in my left radius and one in my right, since then (Newsflash, It ain't been fun).
I can't use my HOTAS, but I can use a game pad, so it feels a bit weird. Probably going to be at least three weeks before I can use that Hotas again.
They don't work on the caustic missles, that is the major issue with the Glaives beyond the speed.
I haven't been to the Titans, nor do I have caustic sinks, but was having a bit of fun doing pod rescues in update 14/15, but the amount of scythe interdictions were nurfed in 16, about half the time I don't get interdicted at all when I jump out and never in the next system. I was making about 18 million on a pod run, now it just doesn't pay.
On top of that the Glaives are now interdicting much more than they were. So I decided to concentrate on the Glaives for a bit, but that hasn't gone well. It's very difficult to come away from a Glaive encounter with hull >50%. I can easily handle multiple encounters with Scythes and scouts, but I usually have to head back to repair after just on Glaive. In V15, I regularly fought 2 Scythes and 4 scouts, and still fought 2-3 more interdictions. I even did one with a Scythe, 4 scouts AND a Glaive, still did not get below 50% hull.
I've tried a lot of different combinations of weapons /armor types, and ships. Nothing works to give you an edge against the Glaives. I even tried a Corvette with >6000 and 5 azimuth multis... But instead of 1 Glaive, 3 spawned in... Nice 20 million rebuy later I quit the game. The Glaives are overpowered and no reasonable defense exists, which is why I have 0 interest in the Titan. I can fight them and win in my Krait, FAS or Clipper, but surviving the fight and remaining combat viable after words is problematic. And to be sure, I'm not talking about running, I'm talking about fighting. I have no interest in running.
I seem to do no better with running 4 enhanced AX multies or running 5 Azimuth AX multies and running a hull with over 6000 seems only marginally better than 3200. I don't get this at all. When I jumped by 3 Glaives I got very frustrated. I got hit so many times by lighting attacks I couldn't see my HUD well enough to tell what pips I'm running or what fire group I was on. The caustic missile spam was never ending at times. It's just . Trying to fight from my Vette with all of the stuff I was running was a nightmare.

Oof, all the best. I broke my elbow last summer in a bike accident and I can only imagine that having both arms out of order is way worse than just twice as bad.
I figured it out but I have touch of literalism.
Take all the time you need to recover right.
I think that it is far too difficult for a lightweight like me. I have never taken to the "die and rebuy" concept and there is no way that
That's just me, I know that is a very minority outlook.
So people can go on and enjoy the ridiculous "boss battles" as much as they want, ignoring FDEV's thumb on the scale - not for me.
