Often wrong, that's how.I truly wonder how the written word was understood before the late 90's!

You are somehow having conversation with author via reading book so you know they approve of your correct perception of their manuscript? Ok.I haven't read a book in a while, are they adding emoticons now?
So, I've got email "Beyond – Chapter 1 OUT NOW Play now to experience new ways to trade, fight and explore yada yada"
So I decide to see what all this was about.
Updated launcher. "Need to reboot" - ehh, this is year 2018 not 2010? Ok, made into launcher. First page - javascript errors. Err, ok.
Upgrade button seem still work, updated client. Launcher page now shows "nginx error" boilerplate page. Great, webserver server crash or overloaded (and FDev didn't even bother to change default error page to something nicer from black&white text).
Still, launcher seem to have updated client, game launched ok.
Somewhat subtle Elite logo intro change, umm, ok I guess.
Logged in to game - well, seems to run fine. Browsed mission board a bit - reward filter is nice, no really better rewards though, same stuff not-worth-doing. Some "wing missions", maybe will try later. No much more instantly visible changes (for better or worse).
Ok, time to go to home system, undock, jump.
On hyperspace, "wham" (, have I being hyperdicted??), nope - "Transaction server unrecoverable error".
Thought will log in just to check if my stuff still here - can't login. Looks like server crashed. Ok, why bother.
Frontier delivers you say? Why professional game dev company still can't manage to launch a moderately-sized expansion update smoothly? And, if anything, each launch gets worse. Not "maintenance mode" you say? Rigorous beta testing this time you say?
Ok, I've played my share of game already anyway. But FDev, do you realise what impact this mess is having on all new players? I assume you care.
Sorry I am disappoint

It feels to me like having a spare property in really bad neighbourhood, which you sometimes visit to reminisce about time you've lived here and see with faint hope if things changed or even became better.Welcome to ED, where the lack of content is always overcome by the need for corrections of the little that is in it.
I disagree. I think spoiling game developers to rely on players as free QA is anything but best thing.But the best thing you can do now, is to also document your issues in a bug report or two.
I am not from these parts, sorry if my dialect is not orthodoxbuggier than next, how does that work?![]()

Though I assume all of these issues is simple result of inability to scale the server capacity so reporting them would be useless (even when I am sure lot of people already did).
Well, speaking of me I've decided not to return back to playing this game for now, so kind of indifferent on the matter...But then how will things get fixed quickly? I am sure things can be found in alpha and beta and fixed, but as you say, when you open it up to thousands of people all sorts of things might come out of the woodwork. We can help with that process to get them fixed. Or we can wait for FDEV to find them, which might take a lot longer, depending on the issue.
Each release buggier than next?

Not to my experience. I have plenty of connected games to play which much better in stability at this right moment (and several even manage to release expansions without major hitches).You are in for a big disappointment playing near any online connected game on patch day then, this is........nothing new in an enormous amount of online connected games.

"Everyone is as bad" is a very lame excuse.
