Is the gamma another stress test for the servers?
It seems Frontier Developments have been testing us all for quite a while. I suspect those that play (test) more than others have a better opportunity via their IP to test than those that don’t. I hope FD can at least sort the networking/connection issues before release in Dec 2014 for everyone post “offlinegate”.
There's reported bugs, the repetition of many in numerous threads , the flaws in gameplay described eloquently by passionate fans and their lore knowledge - (envy) -There must be a better way for mere mortals to appreciate what is being ‘worked on’ instead of the circle dynamic within ‘gamma xx just released’’ or the frustrating ‘gamma bug reporting’ thread. Why is it so hard to create and moderate a thread to help the game develop and sell with all the money that has been put into it?
<sticky> As of xxNov2014, The dev team are working on:
“We’ve received reports of Y happening - (insert reported problem) - Thanks to everyone for your feedback we’re working on it, please don’t repeat this issue in this thread”
“Sorry about the missions not being possible for y reasons - were aware of this and working on it”
“Apologies about your exploration funds and its date are set to zero - were working on it and its due for a mend’
We love your reminder about what was in the DDF (design discussion forum) - don’t worry the game will evolve and bring those many well thought out complexities once we launch - here’s a nice example for you all to discuss while we eat pizza..
“We hear your issues - here’s some we’ve noted ‘xyz’ - thank you we’re looking into it…”
etc etc
‘Transparency’ is the word, not some puerile PR vacant marketing speak. It doesn’t wash with the wise and the oldies - been there, heard it, worn the t-shirt and got run over - but hey! we’re actually buying/financing your game (-:
Please don’t flame me for this post, I merely think that Frontier could do more to make us loyal backers feel like we’re worth something by giving more feedback and encouragement that this game is actually going to be what they hoped for. I joined as an £££ Alpha backer and now I feel foolish for expecting more.. ever the optimist. Yes to learn from testing is a real privilege & to learn this game is exciting all over again, I don’t expect it to be easy but at the moment & I spend most of my free time searching this forum to find out whether it’s worth logging in to enjoy playing it. That just doesn’t seem right!
It’s NOT the minority who have been waiting many yrs (like me) its the new noobs, the kids born after 84, the one’s who haven’t realised that looking up in the sky at night is actually a fun and an inspiring thing to think about. To be able to ‘Blaze your own trail’ in an infinite universe is surely what life is about…
Make it so FD
or i want my money back (-; just kidding..
