So I was out exploration grinding to get to Elite, saw the CG and with the rapid race decided not to rush, but continue my way steadily scanning as I go. Stopped off at Eagles landing and sold data (now 87% of the way there) and carried on to Conflux. The CG ended as I meandered out, but no worries as I wasn't rushing to take part. Finally I arrive and ..... nothing. So I hit the forum and find this.
While thanks for the update this leaves me having spent time getting here for nothing, no idea when something may appear and the certain knowledge that exploring the surrounding area will not reveal anything not already found, in fact I could end up fully exploring a system where something will be and miss it as not currently there.
So my choices are:
1/ wait around indefinitely with no idea of when it will be worth logging in again to see what I came here for, or
2/ take the long trip back to Eagles Landing, hope they don't update before I get there meaning I then do a U-turn, see if I have made it to Elite and then wait indefinitely until they do the update and maybe head back out to conflux to wait, or
3/ consider that I have just wasted my time getting here, go back to the bubble for the next grind and ignore the storyline plots as being a disappointing waste of time and not worth the bother of ever looking at again.
I can understand that issues happen, although if linked to potential bugs reported during the CG this notification was late coming and has wasted a lot of peoples time. But some idea of when a fix will be put in place would be helpful to inform which choice I have to make, even if it's an idea on days, weeks or months. I know other issues may crop up but some idea would be helpful.
At the moment option 3 is the only real option I have if I want to carry on playing and don't fancy just going back and forth from A to B for no purpose. That will colour my judgement on any storyline plot in future as I will always ask myself if it's worth the time just to be disappointed again.
