Beyond Final Chapter: Where's The New Gameplay Aside From Planet Mapping?

[Tarman]

Well certainly nothing new in one of your posts. You should just make a couple of macros, save yourself some time.

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

No, no new gameplay here. Move along!

I think that OP aims to be the Troll of the year,

guys... you feed him well if you reply here. hehe

OP's been around here griping since forever. It's not even new griping. Their griping could use an update itself.

Plus trolls gotta eat, are you some kind of cruel monster that would starve a poor emaciated creature? Heartless.

As far as we know there are new BGS gameplay changes, including new mechanics with unfolding scenarios.

This right there is the most exciting thing, depending on how it plays out. Everything else is just refining gameplay mechanics. But scenarios are the one first slight hint that we might eventually get a game to play with all those mechanics, something meaningful to do, once we have our engineered fleets and more credits than we will ever need.

Shhhh... hope building is something we tend to avoid around here...

Waiting for the mining livestream. Annoying people in RES is going to become a whole lot more fun without getting a wanted status.

I have a sneaking suspicion of your RES ship outfitting requirements.

Have to ensure multi-role stays multi-role.

I think a lot of the new gameplay is going to come from something the OP says he has seen - the Codex. I believe that is going to generate a lot of different things to do, to find, to investigate, just it won't be given to you in a neat parcel and you will actually have to do so effort.

Look if Frontier doesn't make blowing up asteroids an offensive option, then I'm will Obyoz we need new developers!

All these cute (off topic) replies but still no mention of any new gameplay from the livestream. Because there wasn't any I guess. Q4 Was said to be the "big release" so let's hope the next streams show some new gameplay. Some desperately needed depth.

If the Codex is indeed a box of space breadcrumbs and information then that's going to incentivize deep-black exploration for a bunch of players in a number of ways.

You also might want to outline what kind of gameplay you're looking for, because a well is deep too but IDW be at the bottom of one.

 

[Quantis Trap]

Okay, the bets are on: will Kubi show up to say it was all super awesome afterwards, or will he still be grouching and grumping?

I think OP is all about the #2 option!

I'm excited about Mining, but way more excited about Scenerios!

What happens if they have MINING SCENARIOS? Will you be able to withstand the strain?

 

[CMDR Mayhem]

Place holder content that has finally been implemented properly apparently is new content.
No suprise the same forum plebs have nothing but ad hominem replies.

From the livestream it seems the only new gameplay mechanic in the final chapter of Beyond is mapping a planet. And you can even do that with friends too yay! Sounds thrilling. The other new bits coming in this release seem to only change the way in which you play with existing mechanics mostly adding time and mouse clicks for the same end results. USS's could even be worse being described as on timers and disappearing which sounds more like a buggy race maybe - hard to say for sure until we see the beta.

So, anyone see any other real new gameplay items?

We can make an opinion when all the livestreams will be presented.

Others have already mentioned the Codex helping direct players to locations of gameplay (rumours, confirmed; a new type of exploration rush). I recommend you read them and/or watch the livestream again.

Because there wasn't any I guess.

Planet mapping and directed-gameplay via the Codex.

Q4 Was said to be the "big release" so let's hope the next streams show some new gameplay. Some desperately needed depth.

Yep, there are four livestreams and you've only watched one of them.

Patience isn't one of your virtues I guess.

Meanwhile, the Codex adds depth, as do other gameplay mechanics in Q4.

I sincerely doubt he even watched the first one. Far too busy being a grump.
