beta 2.4 why are they still not talking about quality of life improvements?

It will be as always. The first wave will say how much they love 2.4. The second wave will complain about all the bugs. The third wave will offer constructive criticism. And the fourth wave will hear about 2.4 on a random gaming website, visit the forum for the first time since 4 months, realise that they still didn't...
...added real cash economy...
...made the game pay to win...
...removed Solo...
...removed Open...
...un-nerfed the Python...
...added Offline mode...
...added in system jumps...
...3rd person camera...
...Thargoids...
...Cockpit Cats (that'll be me)...
...Spacelegs...
...atmospheric landings...
...more SRV types...
...etc...
...and say that the update is utterly broken, Horizons was a ripp-off and the game will be dead in a few weeks. They'll continue to argue and rant for the next seven days and leave the forum again. It's beautiful!

QFT.

Though I reserve the right to be in all of the first three waves ;)

Maybe they don't have much to talk about at all.
Maybe they have some great surprises coming and want to make a big bang.

We'll know in a few hours, no need to stress out about it now.



How about cockpit dogs? (I like them both, although I have a soft spot for dogs - wonderful creatures).

Dogs have bad odeur and bark all the time. They are annoying. Long live the cat people!

(that's how to make sure that half the forum instantly hates you... Well I am sure they already did before...)

We need artificial gravity before cats, or better, inertial dampeners. Much as I'd love a ship's cat, I don't want the poor little guy floating around. Imagine what would happen when you boosted. :(
 
There will be quality of life updates in 2.4, we already know some of them as they were talked about at lave con. You can read about them here,

https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange...ntier_qa_panel_lavecon_2017_features_changes/

Basically they are

Repair limpets,
inbox ui updates
Search&Rescue Contact board
sidewider exploit eleminated
changes to Crime&Punishment:
Federation bounties
Pay-off rebuy costs and fines with other ships

I'm guessing the reason they aren't showing these off is because Ed is super busy sorting out October expo, internal builds all have thargoid activated by default, to time consuming to just turn off for Ed, and none of these are really showy off kind of features.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if they couldn't impliment vast UI improvements because they had to support 32bit before but now they don't in this next update... lol :D

2.4 is supposed to be about the Aliens, while 3.0 is supposed to be about QoL stuffs. With that.... One at a time.

so.... QoL will be another year to two.. going by current rate of production, seems at this rate I won't start playing elite until the 10 years are almost up !
 
Finally the saltiness is increasing, thank you forums, you never fail to deliver :D

New Beta reward. Only available for 2.4.
