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

I see the same old names whinging that grind hurts, ignoring any advice to try a different approach and failing to see that their choices are optional.


What's the different approach to Guardians? I haven't seen that explained yet by those espousing "you're playing it wrong" opinions.

Yes it was working. Sure it has bugs, but please show me a major update to a game that doesn't. I think you will find that they all have bug, things that don't work, items with the wrong stats, skill that may not work properly. It is pretty standard among most games, why would you think that FDev would be any different.

I guess you must be clueless to all the stuff that hasn't worked on release - most company's have a few bug - FDev release when Beta ispointing out bugs just so they can get it out the door.

You have to admit 3.0 is the most solid update so far, it was pretty much bug free from beta, at first inspection at least.

LOL ok so not now. Should I rest my case?

That is not what I said. Some stuff isn't working and has been removed (stuff that I would call minor myself, but that is my opinion), agreed, but the vast majority of it seems to be working perfectly fine. I.e 3.0 was not broken. If it was nothing would be working.

Yes possibly. I haven't disagreed with that have I. Or it could be that they decided to release as they didn't see the bug as game breaking and fix it later. I don't know which is true.

Yeah, that was me expressing MY opinion. I’m allowed to do that, as you pointed out.

Yes you can, but when it gets pointed out that your opinion is provably incorrect (just look at my recent post history for critisisms of the game) maybe it would be wise to change that opinion, yes.

If not all you are doing is lying to yourself and to others. Ignorance is not an excuse.

Also when you start having opinions about people, maybe you should try backing that up with some facts.

Unfortunately, specifically the last year or so, ontop of the preceeding one or two, has brought me to this position.

Holding out some last vestiges of hope Q4 will (finally) show some bar raising game design/development.

Same here, but I'm almost sure it will be a new disappointment as it was with all the updates so far.
 
Right! Cos there’s so much cool stuff to do?

No.

If you've ground all the fun out of this game take a break, there's plenty of other games out there.

You don't need it all unlocked right now, just chill out a bit. Do one of them then do something else. You could even unlock one thing then go have fun with it for a while. It's the same with standard engineers, if you try to max G5 a fleet in one herculean effort it's not going to be any fun and you won't notice the difference the upgrades make.

Upgrades are intended to improve playing the game, not replace it.

As far as I know there isn't one. The only way to mitigate the grind on this one is to do the mechanic once and then come back at a later time to do the exact same thing again, which in my mind isn't really acceptable gameplay.

Given the history of each update and how buggy or unfinished they've been, I'd say they just want the stuff done and then they'll work on it "later"
 
This all would’ve been sorted out if they would just let us play-test the “mysterious things” in beta. Preventing spoilers is all well and good, but when it leads to incidents like this, it really is ridiculous.

Pretty sure I did that a page or so ago, but whatever.

It doesn't seem to be working for you.

What do you mean?

I’m not playing. Waiting, again. 10 year plan, right?

Right?

Actually, i’ve given up waiting it’s more like rubber-necking a car crash now.

But, don’t reply. No offence but i don’t give a what you say. I’m just here wondering if FD will stream their own game.

If you don't like ED don't just sit there moping, play something you do like.

The game's four years old now the basic foundations wont change at all at this late stage, DLC/patches/expansions will probably happen but the games foundation itself won't change. If there's some imaginary version of ED you've been holding out for (like open only no RNG or rescue the princess) it's probably a few years overdue realizing that ED is what it is.

Edit : don't back edit your posts it makes you look dishonest

If there is something in the game that is to much grind, don’t do it. FD trust server stats way more than forum rants.
If you push trough with something you hate, you ‘vote’ that it’s ok.

Also the window for 3.0 patches is over. Nothing major will happen until 3.1.
