Patch Notes Update Elite: Dangerous 1.02 change log

[Wonne]

We figured a similar timescale (maybe a touch longer). As I said earlier - we know of one issue, we'll fix that and then we can see where trading is. If it needs more of a tweak then we'll do it.

Michael

Thats good to hear.

I dont know how other player see this but i would like to see some random (something you cant control, force or exploit) mechanic in the market that allows one in the right time and place to mak a killing on the market with one load. Just to get the excitement up from time to time. But i can see how something like that would be hard to make foolprof

ED isn't an MMO, it is an "mmo-like experience" to save the company money.

I hope the game will be in a playable state by the middle of next year. knock wood.

I'm playing it now...

 

[fizaddou]

We'll start revealing more come the new year, for now we're fixing issues and looking forward to a bit of a break.

Michael

A very well earned one at that. Cheers.

If time invested in a game to progress is your main concern in gaming? Then a MMO is the last game you should be playing.

As much as people hate to admit it, this is the new Eve.

ED will be a second job for most of us.

I'm sure you are looking forward to a break Michael, I lol'd when i read that comment.

It's 9:20 am here in Australia, i'd hate to think what thim it is there mate.

You guys have done outstanding work so far, keep it up, we all, whingers included, appreciate your and the devs efforts

 

[Gizzard]

I don't know to be honest. They should be working, but may not be generated often enough. It's on our list of things to look at.

Michael

Thanks for the reply Michael, thread here has a lot of imps scratching their heads. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showth...=76098&page=12

Any chance you can let us know if we need to trigger the missions or if they should just be randomly appearing more? I don't want spoilers just want to make sure we aren't chasing our tails for no good reason.

I am just past the edge of populated space, three jumps beyond the last habitation, heading towards the galactic centre. When trying to make the fourth jump I get a transaction server error and booted out. Ticket raised (I think, got an error message on pressing submit but an acknowledgement that ticket was successful. I just didn't get the number!).

That's the problem I'm talking about, it seems to only happen in unexplored space. Please come over here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=79801 and help keep the topic alive.
Also file a ticket, but be prepared for weeks of waiting. I think using the forums is a better way to get attention to the matter.

And most importantly, don't get to far out in deep space. You'll get stuck, no xmas Elite for you then.

I'm playing it now...

I'm not.
But I am happy for you. Stay out of the black...

Thank you.

I cud not edit my post as I repeated my self in it. darn my native language is not English

You need a well deserved holiday. ive been a part since kisckstarter and I do know how much effort you and your team have put in this. Its not a normal job. Nothing is normal when it comes to game development,,, the preassure,,, hold dead line, fix problems, but il guess you enjoy the challenge
Anyway, thank you Michael for the time and job you have put into this game. And have a good time off whit your relatives, if you still know them LoL

Yea, its 11:23PM here... I have to admit these guys put in the hours, and even though i did winge a little bit over the past few patches, i appreciate the work they are doing, us fans and gamers tend to get a bit passionate when we see our beloved wounded and limping . We do mean well though and we just want to see the game be ALL that it can be, im sure i can speak for most of us

You all take that break. From where I'm sitting, FD is doing a great job!

Besides, burned out coders aren't of any use to us

 

[Michael Brookes]

Thanks for the kind words. There's still a lot of hard work to come!

Michael

 

[Buff]

Yeah and My launcher seems to be borked, I can't even play lmao

 

[corvinus]

Come on, really? Who would buy them?

Its not that i couldnt see it done at some point (I dont think David would stand for it), but with the current state of the game it would be a bit pointless dont you think?

Yeah, you could get whatever ship you wanted if you ponied up 19.99 but no, it's pointless... Plus if you act now you can get all Class A upgrades for an extra 9.99. Not pointless at all. I also don't think David would kick the extra cash out of bed.

ED will be a second job for most of us.

Given that I enjoy my actual job, I'm fine with that. Been "Tramp Trading" (sorry Michael, I am pinching that phrase) and mission running for about 4 hours, made about 2 million and didn't really notice the time, just bimbling about at having fun. There's no rush to anything, to my mind.

 

[corvinus]

Heh. Too bad I don't get one for the stupid AI jamming ships into the entrance of the Coriolis as I was trying to exit, and then having the station blow me up for 'loitering' because I couldn't get out or land again.

I love it when the NPC ships go outside the dock then start brewing their afternoon tea.

 

[Cedhric]

Jeez, no-one releases a working game first time nowadays!

Joking - keep up the good work, Devs.

 

[Ericlas]

Thanks for the kind words. There's still a lot of hard work to come!

Michael

You deserve them.
Even after some harsh words you still get back to us and i am thankfull you take criticism as it is meant to be a try to make this game the experience we all want it to be.
And as it seems you are willingly sacrificing your spare time again and again.
Thank you for having an open ear for us over all the time passed, and hopefully for all the time to come.

You guys are gonna deserve a break. This level of work rate is amazing but unsustainable. I for one am thrilled with the thought that ED is going to keep improving for a long time and since we can't play everything in game immediately we don't need to have it all yet. I much prefer to have milestones on the journey, and hope for a very long one at that. That journey doesn't even need to end. For me it's not about acquiring new ships it's about playing the game, trying out new ways to play, interacting with other plays and simply enjoying the whole experience.

p.s. you say you changed matchmaking to make it more likely to get matched with other players and I just want to say thanks. You did, it worked, and I'm now seeing several times as many commanders in SC and open space as before.
