You know mostly Elite has been one of my favorite games. But it seems that game developers seem to take great games that are going good, and then they screw things up royal. WoW did the same after Lich King. They made the game all about end game only, making it in my opinion no fun at all.
Well, now it's Frontier's turn. I've been stubborn for a while trying to adapt to engineers. It's not that I mind engineering, I just mind so damn much of it. It's a constant grind and struggle that never seems to end. I feel like everything I do in the game is all about engineers now. Frontier overdid engineering so much that it's sucked all of the fun right out of the game. Doing some engineering, ok. I can deal with that. But having to devote so much time to engineering every little module is such a waste of time. Like I said, we have to do it so much that engineering literally sucks all the fun out of the game. I'm always having to do engineering so much that I'm doing nothing else, it's either that or not have a competitive ship that can survive the game PVP or PVE.
I've been stubborn because I like the game so much that I've stuck with it even though there's so much engineering to do constantly. When I think about playing the game, I think I've got to go gather mats and that takes the desire to play right out of me. I was bummed when other dedicated Elite players left for the same reason. But you know what. They're right. Engineering took the fun right out of the game. I don't even like earning and buying and outfitting new ships anymore. Because I've got to go start grinding mats again for every ship I buy. I'm sorry, but Frontiers sure taken the joy right out of this game. And Elite is totally right up my ally as far as games are concerned. It's the ultimate space adventure game.
Frontier just sucked the fun right out of it for me right when they're introducing aliens, because who has time for aliens or anything else when we've got to go gather mats for engineering ad naseum and then do it all over again when Frontier decides to change the specs again. Engineering could be a good thing. Frontier just way overdid it. Heck, we can't even buy the mats. We've got to do all this stupid grinding constantly. Hell, even after they made it easier by taking out the commodities it's still too much of a grind. Sometimes I wish there was someone I could trust to take over my account and do the engineering for me. Now that's desperate. We'll see how it goes. But for right now, when I get the desire to play Elite, I think of engineering, and I shake my head and walk away before I even start the game, because I just don't seem to have fun playing anymore. Sorry about that gang.
