How about elite: fines
Or elite: with rules
Or elite : blaze your trail at 100m/s
Elite: still at n beta with patch 1.3 and taking everything fun out of the game
Or even elite: we have your money and we will turn this game into garbage and watch you hate it more and more and we won't care cause so much hype will continue to bring more people in.

Hmmmmm. I know it is a bit of a stretch given the limited information you have provided but do I detect an unsatisfied customer?

Unfortunately. This game had so much promise and they keep making everything less enjoyable. Trading use to be fun when you made decent money. Now not the case. Bounty hunting use to be fun till week long unclearable bounties for accidental friendly fire. Docking used to be fun till getting a bounty from hitting someone and subsequently getting you a week long unclearable bounty. Nothing new for exploring as usual. Huge galaxy and all for nothing.

The game lost me during the tutorial. It should be fun but it's just hard work.........that's what I do for a living. Hard work should not be traded off as fun.........because it's not. And the tutorials just don't make sense.

Very unhappy spending the money I did on the game. Nothing prepared me for this, I watched all the videos and read a lot about the game but it's a harsh environment and the physics don't make any sense.

So you have played the Beta and provided your feedback to FD via the Beta reporting system?

Providing feedback in the most credable way possible to FD is pointless. Go back and look at 100+ page posts about broken that still isn't fixed from launch. They know the issues they just don't care. I'm tired of game developers putting out mediocre titles based on past performance of their namesake. I'm more disappointed than bitter. But my spite for the choices they make boils to the top. A lot of the stuff they dobmakes no sense and no one's Voice carries weight not even the backers when they were they took away offline solo play.

Too bad you feel that way but you shouldve known about the physics from just watching a video or two, its obvious directly that its not realistic physics.

It is on the other hand a complex game relative to most others, and requires a bit of studying and learning from the player getting into it. This very fact is what makes many of us enjoy it so much because what you might refer to as "hard work" is just great fun for us! Id prefer the game much more complex then it currently is, was it up to me.

Still, it doesnt take more then a few hours to get the basics going in ED, but take the aid of the forums as well as the tutorials.

So OP is upset because you have to be a bit more careful and use your head instead of hold the trigger down with one hand while you watch TV and eat a sandwich with the other? And slow down before you get to the mailbox and you'll be fine, the whole point is to reduce griefing on open. If you dont play on open it shouldn't really effect you unless you're terrible at docking. Can't remember the last time I bumped into an NPC. Trading is still profitable, what about it isn't? And now mining is profitable too.

Did I miss something here?

The game was advertised as having real physics-you can fly with flight assist on if that's not your thing or prefer something easier. The combat/flight vs NPCs is really pretty easy and dull with the training missions being some of the hardest experiences, so I am happy for AI improvements. To me, putting in hard work and getting something rewarding out of it is a good experience. I'm sorry that is not for you but there are plenty of easy games out there if that's your thing.

Here's a guide for flight assist off if that's your thing and you wanted more realistic physics https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU396ir67nHg6e4P_EOPwch8gk8E0z7Ex

Yeah, they just don't care? They just poured their heart and soul into a title that is clearly dear to their hearts, but hey, they don't care? Well, since we're pretending to know what people we have never met feel in their heart of hearts, I'll say that they care more about the quality and fun of this game than you do.

There are many many people on here enjoying the hell out of this game, imperfections and incomplete features and all. This game is 6 months old. For a game of this type that is infancy, and the relatively small team at Frontier have put out more code and more updates in that time than some developers ever do. And this for a game for which we have all (excepting the backers) paid only $60 or so for.

I sense an expectation problem is at the heart of your unhappiness.

Not to mention it weeds out the less dedicated griefers, etc.

Yeah. It sort of smacks of that doesn't it.

I for one am enjoying myself and I appreciate the effort that FD are putting in. This game was always going to be released early (than it possibly should have) based on the financial model that FD have had to follow. Just reading the list of changes and tweaks that FD have implemented with 1.3 takes a while and I am really looking forward to seeing them in-game. Of course this is really just a list with no real content made by people who don't care - if you believe some of the people in this forum.

Just to throw a few things out here that no one seems to understand. I assume you don't have Beta and like most other people that seem to be making 99% of the noise on this forum are making comments from the changelog notes.

If you could get every ship in the game after 1 week you'd be bored after 2
Accidental friendly fire is even harder to do than 1.2 now and really is your own fault if you do it.

Speed limit is only a problem IF you hit someone. Even then its only a problem if you kill them because fines can still be paid off.

Exploring I kinda hear you but if you really think sarcastic, aggressive and downright unhelpful posts like yours here will help in any way then you are as crazy as the people who post the same message every 2 pages on the powerplay update sub-forum.


I've said this before but I can't find where: If you want instant gratification go play COD, if you want a more thoughtful game with developers who care, listen and are committed for the long haul then play Elite. I mean its got a scheduled 10 year development life!

Come on now, docking was never fun.

People who play ED to get to the "end content", have the "best ship" and all of those bad ideas from other MMOs, actually don't get the game. It isn't supposed to be about grinding enough credits to get that A grade 'conda. ED is about being a captain and doing whatever you think is fun. The game is designed to be played for the long haul, over years, not to max grind it in weeks and then wonder what to do. That they designed the game that way without a monthly fee, is the real hint. There is nothing in it for them from the players.

And yes, you can't just go around killing players or NPCs for fun, with no repercussions, because that's not how a society works. This game was made to be a sort of a world/life sim, not to be a gank fest. And, btw... there is no dangers in breaching the speed limit, as long as you don't hit someone... or someone doesn't hit you.

Well, that's your opinion - to which your entitled to, but I disagree.
Some of these changes were brought in to stop exploiting and unintended player kills (such as station ramming kills).

They needed to happen so everyone can enjoy the game and hopefully encourage more players into open, like everything though it'll need some tweaking.

Why don't you try the beta a little more - then post some more detailed feedback based on what you'd like to see?
