You know what else is massive, multiplayer, and online?
Dark/Demon Souls.
League of Legends.
Never heard of those so I can't comment.
Yes, counterstrike is not an MMO, because there are thousands of servers which don't share the same game world. In ED otoh all players share the same universe.
ED has over one million of players all playing online sharing the same game universe... that's exactly the definition of an MMO.
ED is not an MMO, by definition of the term. This is obvious to anyone who would spend more than 10 seconds thinking about it.
Quite the opposite is true. ED is an MMO by definition of the term. This is obvious to anyone who would spend more than 10 seconds thinking about it.
Even FDev themselves are advertising ED as an MMO on Steam, so sorry, but I will take their judgement over yours.
Fair enough on example giving. However, you can change at will if either, charged 1% (cool because it scales according to Commander xp) or even with the more hardcore I admit, choose at new Commander save. The major problem as I see it with current system is you have a switch in the cockpit .. to "clear that occupied landing pad for me" or "disappear that blockade".
Exactly. The suggestion wouldn't affect any of the kickstarter promises, since you could still switch between the modes any time you want and as often as you want. The only thing that would change... behold... players would have to think about wether it is really necessary or not.
I have heard only very weak arguments from the opposers... like the need to quickly switch to open to say hello. Sorry, but that's nothing compared to all the game-breaking issues the abuse of the mode switching induces. The Devs sure were well-intentioned with their original design decision, but I think they didn't expect the magnitude of ruthlessness with which many players are exploiting this in ways which were certainly not intended.
But yeah... the cheat- and exploit-approval-crowd is strong in this forum and will torpedo anything that could hinder them from using their beloved exploits with strawman arguments ad nauseum.
