Guess I'm Done?
- Thread starter Bdragon4
- Start date
Calm down. I'm taking a break from the game, not filing for divorce. Its not that serious lol.
EDIT:
Oh, and I uninstalled to free up some HD space (I've got cleaning to do there).
And to keep myself from logging in.
...And to be a bit dramatic about it.

Are they? Do you know more, or is it just something you've heard in passing?
As an aside: I'd like to see the next X game have a touch of multiplayer. Not MMO-scale because I don't think Egosoft could (or should) make that leap, but something like 64 players maximum per server should be easily achievable and fun to play.

Op is making the right decision, albeit a bit forum dramaqueen about it, but hey enjoyed Yamik's video so that was cool - you cant play something for ever without getting burned out no matter how good or bad it is. So you get to a point where you cant face logging in and you do something else like painting your dog or designing a minature car catapult or something. Then one day, weeks, months or years later you get that urge out of the blue to try that thing you played a while back and seem to remember enjoying. So you load it up and go 'Woooo, this is fun, Ohoh that's new! Crap how do I land again?' and the cycle starts anew.
So good call Op, everyone needs to do it at some point and you'll know when the time is right to both leave and return.

Yeah a break now and again is a good thing. I've done it myself, in fact I'm playing a few other games at the mo as well to mix it up a little.
No need to post and let folks know about it though, just go ahead and do it I would probably say.
Also I get what you mean about the whole Cutter (end game) comment. I felt the same and it turns out I rarely fly my Cutter now. I've been into ED a long time and i also "had" a Corvette and actually sold that as it sat there unused. I went back and started enjoying some of the smaller/medium ships again. They're much better to fly and I've been having an absolute blast in the Vulture with APA's. If you know anyone who plays as well then teaming up is hilarious. I occasionally fly with a colleague at work and it's so much better to be talking to each other and doing stuff as a team or in multi crew, so there's another suggestion. Oh and do you have VR? It'll change the game for you - amazing on an Oculus.
Anyway the next content drop will be due in the next few months I hope, so at that point maybe you could drop back in.

How was it?
I guess we are "We are done" boys but stay tuned we will be posting on the forums for your reading pleasure!
I quit every day. Usually after 2-3 hours of playing. I just don't bother with the "uninstall then re-install" since it takes so much time to do that on a DSL line.
Sometimes I don't play for two whole days in a row. IN A ROW!
And then I go back for the eye-candy.

As a Kickstarter to this game I have had many occasions where I felt that I have had enough and maybe I should move on.
But what saved this game for me was VR.
Now I find that Elite is no longer a game to me but a real place I can go to and forget the outside world while I lose myself in the immersion.
I do admit pure enjoyment is lacking from my experience at present and not being able to have a smooth multi- play experience is not helping that.
I would love to take on Thargoids with others. I can solo Cyclops and Basallix all day on my own but put me in a wing with others and for me they are nearly imposible to kill!
New exploration tools is what I have the most anticipation for, that and VR combined and I should be set for a good while hopefully.
And not forgetting also that at some point the VR experience one day will be even more immersive in 8k vision (with a suitable GPU hopefully).
All these things added together will always prevent me from totally walking away from Elite no matter what may turn up in the future.
Fly safe
CMDR Q!!!!

It's not the size of the hard disk that counts, but how you use it.
I'm pleased with the Beyond updates so far that have improved the game. I'm still eagerly awaiting better mission scenarios, player owned capital ships, atmospheric planets, space legs and custom HUDs.

If you have not already, try PvP. It adds new life to the game.
