So UN-believably HAPPY!!!!

Thankyou for your continued development of Elite Dangerous...

Horizons for me is the next logical step and so far it looks freaking awesome!!!

I just wanted you to know that I am really happy with ED and how it's progressing...

Never mind all the moaners, complainers, haters... I like ED and I am sure there are many others here who like it too :)

Happy New Year FDev and I hope one of the new year resoulutions in the office is to get a Galactic Intern Bobblehead into the store complete with shiny hair :D

Awww, I suspected as much when I saw the way you split UN...HAPPY, but I couldn't resist! I was looking forward to a good old rant, you little monkey..I've changed my mind about that other rant thread now..let's have a special section for rants!

I has a lot of fun in Horizons.

I'd like to see active geology in the future so we have worlds with ice and lava volcanoes but that's just a personal desire. If it doesn't happen I still have a lot of fun.

I think the ground missions could have big armed bases with missiles and enemy ships rather than just little drones (I know drones are cute and all).

Nevertheless. Lot of fun.

All I can say is, some people are easily pleased and are obviously FD's ideal audience.......... I.E the kind that just accepts whatever drivvle we produce and sits there blowing sunshine up our collective kazoo :)

Too many players get too serious about a silly game we are all having a blast playing. They think too much about the balance, reality or mechanics and rather than be a supporter providing valuable game play info when issues occur they would rant and rave and demand immediate changes. Little of this occurred in Alpha or Beta with lots of problems as we were helping FD to get the game to where it is now...and it cost a lot more in Alpha to join in.

Thus coming on the forum looking for answers to one's current game play we have to wade through all the rants and raves looking for answers. It is frustrating at times.

There is a massive amount of players who are happy playing the game and sometimes post on the forum. It they weren't we would see many thousands of posts a day! Know that there are many positive players who agree with you and consider a rant for what it's worth...

Yes I think that's part of it. A friend of mine has a compulsive disorder and is always complaining about everything he buys. I came to realise that part of why he does this is because he thinks that complaining makes him appear knowledgeable and superior.

Years ago I recommended a very good soundcard to him. Far superior to the X_Fi i previously had. I'm still using said soundcard. It even allows you to change the op-amps. Friend buys the soundcard and within 1 day starts complaining. Needless to say he returned it and now has a cheap crappy one. This friend can't relax about anything. He's unable to enjoy anything he buys because he's constantly looking for problems and he is very capable of creating problems that don't exist.

I see that a lot on this forum. Yes there are genuine features people would like to see added and some present that in a reasonable way. A lot are just really miserable/angry rants though with nothing good to say. Often those people add in a "but I really like this game" disclaimer to try and take the edge of their long list of entirely negative complaints.

It's all about how you go about things and I see to many here who display symptoms of anxiety disorder (flying into a rage because they didn't know how to get back in to SRV at a ground base) to the compulsive disorders where they spend 500 hours and only have a list of really miserable complaints and nothing at all good to say.

There seem to be quite a few who support this wholly negative style which is a shame.

Lots of cool secret military missions with planetary bases were in the previous versions of the game so I suspect if and when implemented they are going to be awesome. There were recon missions where the military gave you cameras to take pictures of a base and get back before the guarding ships took you out.

lol... I dunno if I would say 'I' am easily pleased... But I take the game in the context I brought into it in and the enjoyment not only playing the game gives me but also the enjoyment of seeing it develop an expand over the years to come...

So many people see 'problems' or experience a minor (IMO) hiccup in the game and blow it all out of proportion here on the forums... I started this thread as a simple thank you to frontier for their continued development of a game I know many of us enjoy, like and love... This game gives all of us, even those times that we suffer negative experiences in game, entertainment...

Entertainment for me is not just all happy smiles, the best entertainment is an emotive experience that gives the end user highs, lows, thrills, adrenalin rushes, tears, screams, excitement, terror, cringeworthy moments, laughs and wows... and this game has given me personally all of that...

And ED continues to be expanded and developed which adds to all those existing experiences with new ones.

Yeah every game system is working properly and is perfectly balanced, no need to change a thing at all right?

yup and now there will be more I can forsee just based on the new base type missions they have given us... but instead of photographs we will probably have to use the data scanners... and indeed, low level flying missions with a 'camera' installed to take those pictures of the hidden military base will be great too :) but I do suspect that they will be more SRV data scanning orentated...

Hard to please?? Not really hard at all, just deliver what you sold :) 3 miles wide finger deep and the BUGS!! OH THE BUGS!!! All joking aside ED is in a not very nice place and the "I'm alright jack" mentality that is prevalent here will only hurt ED in the long run.....You dont think E.D. NEEDS players? LOL

While some are clearly unhappy and won't allow others to enjoy the game, we call those moaners (trust me when I say that is the nice printable version that won't get me banned) in our office. They are like leaches that try to suck the life out of people just to ensure they have as little fun as themselves. These moaners like to hang out in forums and are normally to be found in the first few posts of any positive threads. This seems to attract the attention of other moaners who then like lemmings/sheep follow in their fellow moaners footsteps.
