Meh, the changes sound fine but the problem for me is I don't really care whether I get a number on the screen saying 10,000cr when I blow up a ship or one saying 20,000, being able to afford a new ship is nice but I would be doing exactly the same things in it just with higher numbers popping up on the screen. The real problem with every aspect of the game is that they are all fundamentally boring, repetitive and grindy. When (if) they fix that I'll be happy to give it a fair shot and reconsider my opinion on the game.
How many of you don't play anymore?

In the beginning I did have good feelings, like many others I was happy to be a part of Elite again. The company cashed in on that feeling to develop an online-only, digital rights managed game engine that uses a players computer as the island/instance server. You know what, I was fine with it! Drew the line when I have to deal with teams, being the lone wolf guy I seriously prefer being on my own and doing whatever by myself. My last assassination featured a cobra wing, felt depressed after completion. The feeling caught me off guard but remains and I just can't bring myself to even look at the icon.
Oddly I can't recall the existence of that game, must be a traumatic memory, after reading the reviews I'll choose to be optimistic about DICE pulling through as well.
Glad to hear it and I agree, the fun factor has increased dramatically and I am pleased that they have started pushing forward because it gives me faith that they will continue to make changes that benefit the longevity of the game.
So lets see..... this thread was started on a Friday afternoon.... since then the Devs have had five full working days to reply and/or post a reassuring comment!
if the changes is like the ones on 2 past days be very afraid for the longevity of the game
Please explain further.
Ha ha this really is the saddest place I know and am thinking of setting up a "who's stopped reading this thread" thread.
56 pages and counting we're definitely heading towards a serious need for some sort of counselling/career guidance service.
Problem is I can't resist a peek from time to time !
Then again I only play 2 or 3 times a week and have barely scratched the surface of this fantastic sim.

My dear friend, i'm afraid you got it wrong. This is from the news letter #66:We hope Wings and Thursday’s surprise 1.2.03 update are evidence of our continued commitment to pushing the Elite: Dangerous experience forward and of just how we value your feedback and support. We're listening.
I cant congratulate this threads alone for being responsible for the improvements to the game for witch you enjoy so much, but it has played a part at least some capacity.
Now, the notion is astounding to me that we who want push the game to be better is somehow dedicated to be detrimental at current player base and the development of the game. This is a fitting quote (with self evident interpretation) from the writer and philosopher Joseph De Maistre: "Every nation gets the government it deserves"

I really wonder why some people felt the need to give such empty answer in a single sentence like "I love the game and still playing", without any explanations/ideas, totally off topic in a thread titled "How many of you don't play anymore?"...
Never mind, don't explain to me, 'just jocking! I know why they did it

I haven't played in weeks, I was primarily hauling freight to make money.. I decided that was getting old, and took my savings to buy a Viper and some upgrades. I thought bounty hunting would liven things up and it did some, but after a while I missed playing games with my chums. So I decided to wait until the collaborative features were fleshed out, and maybe some other game play features as well. In the mean time, I'm hanging in the garage if anyone needs me.

Yeah, we all know perfectly well whats that's about. But that makes me wonder even more
I haven't played for a while. My fault really, I just can't get the hang of the darn Thrustmaster joystick gameplay. Keyboard mouse player here and after some 40+ odd years, it's just darn difficult to change. Still stuck on the docking and fighting tutorials. I seem difficult to develop that muscle memory thing for doing all those cunning maneuvers with the joystick *sigh*.
