Growing bored of ED, waiting for improvements

Not interested.


Go get a life.

you are the one hoping to get game content locked away from many in the game not I

you are the one hoping to get game content locked away from many in the game not I

How did you come to that conclusion?

Lock it out from who?

sorry perhaps i read you wrong, but it seemed to me you were saying players who want a CQC available against AI in solo were nagging and you wanted it locked to open. locking it away from solo players.

if this is me misreading you and you did not mean that I can only apologise.... but must dash so.......

As I said it can be done, it's just a case of the number of bodies you throw at the problem. However, that can lead to more bugs. You originally said just one dev which is a different prospect to a team.

So we are looking at:
UI modifications - Design's required - Normally handled by two groups of people
Database calls - Possible new tables - Normally one team
Change to netcode - Calls for data to be shown to be added - Another team
QA - Bug fixes - More people
Beta - Bug fixes

So the one dev would need to know about all of these areas within the games code to be able to do the job himself. If you took one dev from each of the teams you'd be on the right track but then other projects would fall behind.

I don't disagree with your suggestions, I think they are valid and add to the games depth but to be implemented correctly they need to be planned and placed on a timeline taking into account what they already have planned and does that impact on this new work at all or could it be enhanced by other projects.

Fair comment, having never worked in game development it was only based on limited experience I have had in making mods for games. My point was that I was not asking for very much in comparison to other things such as the whole PP and CQC update and that I think with well thought out, targeted improvements to areas of the game in need, FD could role out an update that would be far less in scope than the PP update yet improve the game by a huge margin for so many people.

Really hoping we have a game where people actually have to take the consequences for their actions, where it gives people like me an opportunity to try and track down murderers\griefers and punish them the old fashioned way.

I guess I will log in from time to time and be checking the forums. I will defiantly give CQC a try, but like any other arena combat orientated games I will probably lose interest in a couple of weeks and again just be waiting for ED to become the game it is trying to be.

play some candy crush.... that might suit your boredom tolerance better

fly safe CMDR

better still... don't post on the forum that you are bored and hardly log in these days...

I really don't understand why people take criticism of this game so personally. Why don't you just post nothing at all if you aren't going to offer anything to the discussion?

It really sounds like CQC is what you are looking for, because it sounds like what you really want is a convenient PvP pew-pew fix. You complain about your inability to actually hunt, but you seem to be forgetting that "actual" hunting mostly consists of two things: (1) figuring out where your prey is likely to be, and (2) hanging around that area until your prey shows up.

I can see someone has never watched any of the dollar movies....
