Xbox is favoured??

One network hookup and all of a sudden Im the favorite.

Guess when that PS4 only issue with Elite was going on PC and Xbox was the favorite.

Also sorry, I would be repping people a lot more but I uh.... Ran out.

I dont care about mapping, but i think we deserve an official explanation of why console players have better servers than us pc players.
Other people's money are better than mine?

Yes, because Frontier obviously treats all paying customers the same. Windows minor inconvenience, macOS thrown out the game.

It's funny how some folks react when the boot is on the other foot.

6.99 a month xbox live provides better servers than the stock ones Frontier uses.

Probably not but this whole situation is quite funny.

Thats the explanation then lol.

As a PC player I looked at the forums last night and watched TV instead of bothering to start the game up.

I can wait a little while before going to pee on a rock to mark it as my territory.

You asked for a refund or an account transfer to pc and you got a negative answer?

Played quite a bit on Xbox, no issues. Found some of the new phenomena too, looks so great on the X.

When the Xbox version was launched the entire bubble was already claimed. We had our progress wiped several times during the GPP. I feel for you PC guys, we know what it's like.
Rather, we know what it's like to sit there for months while the bubble is mapped, not just one evening. But we understand.

With all respect what are you talking about? You are comparing two different stories.
Yesterday consoles and pc allready HAD the game on their hands, but only one side was able to login. Lets say for example that this continues for a week and only console players can play for a week, what will you say then? "Guys chill out, one week is nothing, we waited like a year". Seriously?

Since it's mostly due to sheltered perfectionism the principal is torn to shreds by the size of the tiny potatoes at stake. Basically, those who are offended, that's just perspective trying to work its way in and it's good for you. Clean-freaks have weak immune systems. Get too attached to the way the universe appears and you're devastated when things change.

I didn't need a transfer. You probably have been to busy dismissing my posts to realise I've been playing Elite Dangerous since the alpha, which as you'll recall, was Windows only. I only have one account by the way

And it should still be Windows only... Opening up to consoles was the worst decision EVAR!!!!

How many console players are there?

How many first mapped things are there?

Now do the math and stop whinging.

A pc player.

Are console players in and mapping all the stuff?

You bet we are!

I have to say that this update has given me entertainment even before I switch it on! Incredible!

Too many.

Dunno, it's too early to count and I need more coffee.

Can't do maths 'til I've had coffee.

A PC Coffee Drinker who would be a PC Player if she could just get past the server errors.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? But wifh a Snickers?

Locked out the game eh? Oh the irony, this is what happens if you're using hardware not specifically designed for gaming. I suggest you buy a console

But don't you fret none, it's not Frontier's fault, it bound to be the fruity guys.

Don't have a snickers... Would need to go to the shop for that...probably. Maybe a Marathon.
I have an old PS2 with a network connection... maybe I could play on that...

I'm more disappointed that my Codex is void of any of my previous data.

None of my discoveries over the past four years have been put into the Codex, not even from a couple of month ago.

I thought that in one of the Livestreams, Adam said that our previous discoveries would be in the Codex, he couldn't tell us how far back it would go though......looks like it only went back to yesterday.

And it seems that is by design and they never intended past stuff to be in... Of course, they couldn't tell us that.
