Maybe you can.... I can't
Failure Developments at it again
- Thread starter Darty
- Start date
That's never been how patches work. Realistic expectations help.
Give it a few days and people will have worked out how to min-max ARX and that will trigger a whole new slew of fashionable whinges. The open only crowd might stage another doomed attempt at ruining the game as the patch has drawn them back temporarily. Meanwhile I'll just carry on playing the video game for fun.
Fixed that for you
Fixed that for you
First the ED forum then the world will bow before us !.
I literally spent 9 months unable to boot that game until the most recent big patch fixed it, only to find when I finally got ingame that the graphics had turned into something from the PS2 era.
Have you notice that everytime a complaint about anythin comes up you have guys post.....you dont know development,it takes time,give them a few day etc etc you guys are full of bio you said these things in every other post for 5 years now nothing you have said has helped anyone still 5 years of bugs here still 5 years dodgy updates 5 years of content to just do the same as we have been for 5 years! so tell us when will all the stuff we ask come then will it be another 5 years?
Given the quality of the patches and long standing bugs. I am beginning to suspect that ED is what they give the interns to work on to get them up to speed to work on real projects.
Come on, you honestly think this is Elite's best release so far?
Thank God that's not true.
Actually, looking at all bug reports floating around atm, I get strong feeling that we actually have one bug somewhere in client-server communication code (esp. if mining crashes can be narrowed to refinery module) which highly likely won't be visible on test server/database. And patch touched exactly that part, due to store integration.
Yesterday was developer abuse day and I didn't see it on the calendar. These forums toward FDev and our own customers toward us as it turned out.
Newsflash! Some people do their jobs because they enjoy their jobs. Some people do their jobs because those jobs allow them to help other people. Some people do their jobs because of the thanks and kind words they get from their customers. Not everyone is in it just for the money.
Not the best release, but probably the least buggy.Come on, you honestly think this is Elite's best release so far?
Thank God that's not true.
Not having bugs that are blatantly obvious within 1 minute after having launched the game (rubberbanding, engineer mods not showing up in outfitting, remote engineering problems) is a pretty realistic expectation I think.
We are not talking about some hard to find bugs and other elusive issues. The complete lack of QA is inexcusable.

You know the old saying: "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence, anything after that is a pattern."
Don't make the December Update a pattern, Frontier. At the very least, Open Beta it first. Most of these issues would've been spotted during Beta testing.
Interns with shaggy legs!
In MMO's some bugs wont manifest until it actually goes massive. Rubberbanding is a bandwidth thing, probably down to the number of people there are playing.
The worst bug I've heard of this time around is invisible engineering on stored modules. Don't touch them for a few days and everything will be fine. Engineering is hardly an urgent thing anyway.
"You don't understand game development."Let's be fair, the majority of people complaining simply do not understand the complexities involved in developing, upgrading and managing "Elite Dangerous" and all of it's supporting components.
Collective moaning is one of the prime functions of a forum, of course, though. So carry on...
Where have I heard that before?
Well I for one think this was a master stroke by FDev.
This update was all about noobs and they look like absolute total noobs themselves now...GENIUS!

But it IS okay. Here's some Koolaid, drink up.
