If someone from Fdev streams themselves unlocking all the Guardian tech. I will eat my eye patch.

Probably best to just ignore the posters who are the common denominator in all these little arguements,its the same people all the time. Page upon page of it now.

Hopefully can get a response from FDev regarding the guardian grind without giving the above people a chance to get these threads closed.
 
It does look that way, doesn’t it?

You know - all these years I thought I was supporting an ongoing project, building something really cool and building on solid but limited foundations. I think a lot of people did.

Turns out what came out initially was pretty much the game? You might be cool with that, hell, maybe I would have been too if they’d come out and said that from the start instead of promising more. But they would have made a lot less money.

You know. I think back to the FDev Expo thing last year. I would say at least 90% of the people in that room were Elite fans first and foremost - kept in a hall and milked for overpriced merchandise, food, drinks with very very little to do while being used as means to support and provide attention to other projects FDEV were working on. Baited on the whole while of ‘big news’ and ‘big improvements’ that never seemed to materialize. You notice a pattern?

Now go and check out Eve’s fan events.

I feel a bit silly for having fought their corner and defended Elite as a project. I keep waiting for someone to comment on this thread and make me and the other concerned fans feel better about a part of the game that is beyond any shadow of a doubt daft and maybe you’re right. Maybe that’s expecting far too much.

Ten year plan, more stuff to come unless they cancel further DLC as financially non-viable. Which is always possible.

Honestly I don't think FDEV employee's are allowed to reply in threads that have dev bashing in them, it could potentially breach all sort of UK workplace rules especially if some of the less reasonable posters start getting personal with the dev's.

The main reason I'm happy with ED is I never bought into anything other than what they were actually selling, the potential of more to come was and is a possible bonus. I very rarely back things early so I can go by the product not theorycrafting or marketing, I did with ED but right after I flew the combat demo so I knew the foundation of a fantastic flight model was already there.
 
I've filtered out certain people who tend to "hog the spotlight", which cuts the size of threads like this in half, and even then this thread huge :eek:

The roster of Beige Squadron *doubled* on Good Friday. :)

I also bought a copy of The Long Good Friday on DVD. Couldn't get it on streaming. Great movie, with the perfect ending.

Yep. I see what you’re saying and fair enough. I admit that maybe I was naive to still after two years of this, expect better to come.

But you don’t think they’ve been even a little disingenuous?
 

The Replicated Man

Good Lord, Bob. You developing Alzheimer's on me?

You don't get player kills in solo. I play for the player kills.

Sure I do the occasional solo run when it makes sense, but you're describing your own login behavior. The very few times you were ever on at the same time as me, it was in solo.

The whole fearing a gank thing is in your head, I'm afraid.

I told you it crossed my mind once... because of course it did!

Call me what you will, but I'm honest.

I also offered a clean 1v1 several times, which you at first ignored, and then flat-out refused out of some irrational fear of being ganked.

And absolutely none of that discussion took place in your block list thread.

I think we both know the outcome of that fight if it were to happen.
 
I've been sent friend requests by known PVP players. I stay in solo. I'm old, and my exploration/trading ships are not PVP builds.

No offense intended. I know I would lose. Cowardly, or prudent? Your call.

In all honesty no not at all, I was expecting a modern looking and sounding remake anything else is a plus. My take on some of the main gripes are :

Space legs is a thing they are actively looking at and would like to do if they can do it well and can give it a point beyond walk round your ship once and never do it again. They've told us this repeatedly.

Atmospheric landing are a planned expansion, if they can do it well enough but it's much more complicated due to water/wildlife/population/weather beyond largely empty vacuum habitats.

Grindy for people with thousands of hours played, of course it's a bit samey you've played for thousands of hours.

Open/solo/one BGS was communicated and planned from the beginning, read first buy second.

Offlinegate it was replaced with solo, you could have got a refund pre-launch if you were bothered.

I can't rescue the princess, of course not you are just an insignificant contract pilot in a galaxy sized galaxy.

There's no single player campaign, wrong game genre entirely.

Gah they are making a dinosaur game, yes of course they make games (plural) for a living. That's the purpose of their business why all the fuss.

Steep learning curve, I like that.

You have to know stuff and plan ahead to play, I like that.

It turns out this isn't the first time you've got a little confused. I can't quote it directly as it's a closed thread.

Just as a quick reminder of the history here:

SDC claim to have KOS listed me for starting this thread :
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showth...efing-(part-2)

SDC told me they were hunting me in game, for starting that thread.

I told SDC where I was and what I was flying and they suddenly lost interest.

Now you claim you want to have a duel to defend the e-honour of SDC for backing out last time, and because I think clogging is no worse than a cash exploit or something. And you seem to think it's up to me to communicate with you in game to facilitate you actually finding me for this duel.

Conclusion : SDC's KOS list seems a bit pointless, what with you being utterly unable to bring your guns to bear without my active cooperation. It's almost as though PVP is an entirely optional thing in ED.

Update : after me accepting your friend request to make things a little easier for you, you didn't play in open for a few months and then kicked me from your list having got nowhere near. So what was the point ?.
 
As you can see he wanted to meet up and fling pew, I tried to help him with that but he was always in solo. I really don't see the point.
I’ve run into this before on MMOs. People assume that when I log in, I MUST want to play with them just because I said we would someday. They pester me and as a result I avoid them because when I log in, I do so with an evening planned.

He’ll fight you at the time of his choosing, not yours. Get over it.

I think you are totally missing the really relevant bit where he pestered me about it, and I never gave a monkeys. He then stuck to solo for a while before kicking me out of his friends list, begging the obvious question what was the point.

Maybe you'd understand it better if you actually read the stuff.

Oh, I did (also you said read twice there, you might want to give proofreading a try sometime).

You have no idea what his situation is, but instead of acting accordingly, you just keep trying to shame him publicly.
 
Just to bring things back to topic, but i for one would like to see proof Punished Mobius actually posesses an eye patch.

Another thought is, PM has effectively ensured FD won't do this. They cannot do something that would result in physical harm to a player, which eating an eye patch would persumably do.

I think PM needs to at least post a picture of his eye patch and show that its made from edible materials. Otherwise this whole challenge is a no go!

Punished Mobius does not actually have an eyepatch...For some reason they do not exist in the Elite Dangerous universe...However Paul M (that's me) does. :)

"They cannot do something that would result in physical harm to a player"

But attacking their players mental status through insane levels of repetitive grind that they are not willing to suffer through themselves is ok :3

But back to the eye patch issue. Perhaps I could set up Tiers for them to achieve like in a CG. Like if they unlock just 2 modules I will eat a leather eye patch dipped in steak sauce or something. If they get halfway I will eat another one with no sauce if they complete the challenge I will eat one with metal studs in it and smile.

Have you ever searched etsy based on edibility? I have...

I am happy to order these myself. I need a "proper" MGS tri strap eyepatch (to wear not to eat) anyways. But it would he hilarious if my "meals" were funded by the stream.

Yes I noticed and edited it out probably while you were typing, do you think it's a big deal or an utterly trivial attempt at the sort of personal attack that will get this thread shut down. Triggering hilarious conspiracy theories.

Oh, is that what you’ve been trying to do all this time?
