Making the Thargoids indestructible, is the single biggest mistake you could have possibly made!
Now we can all guess at what is coming next to make this narrative stretch out as long as possible.
We can expect CG's to collect something, to make something.
Errands to run to unlock engineers or weapon smiths etc.
I have no idea what form the game is going to take to enable the players to get the anti Thargoid hardware.
But I hope it is made interesting and varied.
Not just a rehash of what we have done for the last 3 year but with different name tags over the top.
Back on point. By making the Goids indestructible, you have removed the opportunity, the first in the games history of giving players a reason to band together against impossible odds.
Imagine if you will, that if enough players worked together. Managed to drop 8+ fully engineered PVP grade death machines, into an instance with a single Goid. Then coordinated with healing beams, point defence, maximum dps loadouts and the willingness to loose nearly the entire fleet. They managed to kill a single Thargoid.
Can you imagine how much content and fun that would be? Then on top of that, big praise for giving a reason for Co-Op game play it would have produced.
Even the PVP gank squads would stop and work together on a challenge like that.
But no.. We get a God Mode Flower that cannot be killed no matter what, forcing us down the oncoming grind to get weapons.
It will be a grind of some type because if the game just gives us the Goid weapons, the whole story will be dead in a week.
You also know that the Goid weapons will be strong enough to allow SINGLE players in SOLO to get a victory, which means any opportunity for a multi winged organised team to test their metal on a worthy PVE foe.. its pretty moot!
Having to lose almost an entire fleet to kill a goid without weapons, would not have effected the end narrative in a huge way.
It would still mean people had to do all you had next but wow, just for a moment it would have been cool!
You still have the chance FDEV, with some Goid super mother ship to let this be a thing!
