ofc it´s not the players fault, as their behaviour is simply a reaction to fdevs treatment of the game.
but this behaviour doesn´t help in any way, so trying to contain it in a single thread is indeed a noble task.
 
naa the night will be a success, its one thing coming onto a company forum to spew rage puke but when face to face with real people it will all be nudge nudge wink wink

having been to a few I am sure it will be a good night. I have had a couple of fantastic evenings with them and everyone there were good people. (unfortunately most of the ones involved back then have moved on but am sure will still be a great evening). would have liked to go myself as am localish but seeing my parents for 1st time in a while so not risking going to a busy bar to get the lergy.

is this breaking news that the event is one of reminiscing cos the game is (un)officially dead?
No, whatever is 'gagging' them is unknown, maybe just COVID, and Sally being out of the loop for at least another 4 weeks (from her twitter comment), or maybe something 'big' -none of us really knows, but we can have tremendous fun speculating!

There will always be folk who wish to express their discontent on something not being exactly what they anticipated it to be, or because it has issues, or even just making a noise because they can.

This thread was created to take a rise from the 'angst' so evident on this forum (although I did only concentrate on the "someone is going to buy FD, farce initially), it has been surprising how many comments have been made (and the fact that I only had to report just one post for 'stepping over the line', which was pleasant) with many in the spirit of the post, some treating it seriously...

the funny thing is posting trolling threads deliberately trying to get a rise out of already unhappy players would be in and of its self considered stepping over the line in many forums. :/

Indeed, humour is often frowned upon, as if levity doesn't assist in raising spirits.

Obviously, had a moderator or staff considered this thread inappropriate or offensive, it would have been removed. So it would appear that levity, after all, is an acceptable stance to take in order to defuse situations that are escalating in their ridiculousness. I'm sorry you feel it is trolling, but we each interpret things in our own way, and feel the urge to comment, even if something is considered worthless, surely?
 
Ew, sticky.
Aren't you supposed to roll it in rice or something?
Might be better to get a team of ants / wasps to clean it off.
i left it on the radiator for a day or so, it tried to come back on bless it, spluttered a little, then gave a bit of false hope, then died
it was an old dell one from about 7 years ago if not longer, it was probably thankfull for the oppotunity to die
 
The "correct" way to deal with them i just find annoying. I could do the gauss cannon thing (its that weapon right?) that allows you to wreck them without messing around.

I just decided I was never going to attack them on principle. However, that might change if we get on-foot Thargoids. Unless FD do something silly with those.
Sorry, I somehow missed this post until I back read: Ya, the gauss cannon in MO is the weapon of choice. It's fixed, pretty much a railgun, or depending on what you go for, a variation thereof. I don't really know much as to the politics of it, I suppose that's for better minds. They shoot, I kill, pretty much it.
Thargoids on foot: I envision something very Lovecraftian. Maybe Fungi from Yuggoth merged with Deep ones. I have to say defiantly looking forward to seeing how the game portrays them.
If there's an existing image I am unaware of feel free to describe it, but don't post it if you don't mind. I look forward to that first experience and don't want to dampen it with a true pre-existing concept :)
 
I was going to bring this up, at least in the lave radio thread, but couldn't string an argument together. To me its complicated because why would you actually want frontier?

  • They focus only on niche genre games. While this is a strength of no competition and all the benefits that come with, they'll also never be mainstream.
  • They have a headcount of 750 and are based in the UK. Is this expensive relative to competition?
  • They have a proven disability to deliver what players expect (surely a real but significant rift between management / marketing vs customers, only permitted / required by niche genres).
  • Phobia levels of avoidance of any sort of narrative into any of their games. The closest they've come to trying is jwe and that wasn't even close. Frontier have zero experience and ability for any "cinematic" content, if that's required today.

If i was armchairing frontier, the main value would be the planet XX ip and the future contracts. You'd want to redo the ops fundamentally, at least to get them to the point they can look like all the others to mainstream gamers. Frontiers current approach of harsh mvp in genres with no competition and publishing... well its something i guess.
I still feel like in SOME cases, the instant gratification bug has impacted what people think should be in the game. Having said that, the one big reason above all others I would like to see frontier keep it is this:
David Braben - To him, this is more than just a game that is(/is not) producing numbers. While not everything he envisions has come to be (and honestly a few things just can't), this game is a dream to him. I feel that as long as his hand is in it, and there's anyway possible, the game will eventually find its way to a semblance of the original concept. You remove him, and anyone else that might feel similarly within fdev, and its just numbers. The last thing I would want for this game is to see it die out half finished. If it moves, its just numbers.
I've said this before and I will say it again. I think that a lot of what we have been wishing, dreaming, and crying about in this game that hasn't come to fruition despite promises and dreams, will start to show up over the next few years. The foundation for the east wing so to speak is finally done with Odyssey. If the game is allowed to follow this path I think we will finally be seeing things we have been promised for so long. We've all waited (though not all that patiently lol) for what's coming. There's no way, if I had a choice, I would hand it over to a new guy with his own vision that may or may not have anything remotely related what the original hope for this game was, much less hand it to someone who only saw numbers and didn't have skin in the game.
 
there are many many players (esp console ones) who have been left hanging for ages now regarding ED:O

FD pitched a product to us, and we bought in.

Odyssey is yet to be available for console so no-one there has bought into anything yet. I'm not saying you don't have a point though but at some point or another PS4 & Xbox are going to go the way of the consoles that predate them, and they're getting old fast, it's only the supply shortage that's keeping them going, if it weren't for that I think it would have been full steam ahead with the PS4 & X Series X. Honestly, I wonder if the best outcome in relation to console is that FDev cancel the PS4 & Xbox versions and move Elite to the current gen. But the console market is in a bit of a state of limbo too so I'm sure that's complicating things even further. Has the new generation actually arrived, as it were, yet?
 
Spookey where did you know that from ? 😂😂

ok I guess my name 😂

but thanks mate ❤️

Edit:was in hope that Fdev delievers a present with new communication but this didn’t happens. They didn’t have so much time to clear things up before the meeting with community.

You have your DOB as part of your username????

I sense a disturbance in the op sec community, as if millions of security experts just cried out in horror.
