Like I pointed out a long time ago on the alpha forums, this game is going to suck when released due to lack of features. Today, there are several critical reviews out on the REAL internet (where this forum's moderators have no power to delete or lock reviews/topics!).

This forum is like the government in V for Vendetta - ligitimate criticisms and complaints are brutally oppressed. But the game is just so completely lacking in features that the complaints keep coming. FIX THE GAME instead of trying to "fix" the players.

One way to do that would be to get rid of the connection between solo and online gameplay. Let the solo players play without letting them impact the online world. Another way would be to let players have more control over the game world, at the least beign trading. Let it be a player controlled market - Frontier shouldn't try to be so patriarchical. That if, Frontier acts like a parent who thinks they know better than the player and thus must maintain control over our actions, lest we become "unruly" or "too independent". It's the frigging nanny state here that's really fudged up.

TRUST the players instead of making us "subordinate" to you guys. Let us control the market... it'll work out as it does in other games, or even in the real world.

Make this game a true sandbox rather than a hand held, catholic school where everyone is considered a jerk that needs to be controlled and whose actions must be "guided" by the developers. Stop developer events in the game and let players trigger them. Don't make them scripted. Don't do any more of those developer directed linear missions. Just let us play a sandbox game where *WE* make the rules - allow for emergent gameplay.

Don't be afraid of learning from better ideas like EVE.

Freedom is the best game there can be. Think about it and change your ways, Frontier!

I see alot of complaints raised that is met with mature and constructive responses, even by those who do not agree with the poster.
Ligitimate criticism is not met with brutal oppression (in general, there will always be the odd cases) but often the complaints threads are just a load of personal opinions and sometimes completely unrelated to the design of the game. This does not mean it should be met disrespectfully but people will naturally be hostile to false claims trying to discredit something they like.

And you yourself posts a thread titled "game still sucks". Do you expect to be taken serious after this?
Your very first idea on how to apperently fix the lack of content is to divide solo from open. While I agree that solo and open should be separated completely, in no way till it add content to the game.


Mature and well written complaints will (Mostely) be met with mature and well mannered respons.

I am an alpha backer and have a right to demand a correction in game development.

No, you don't. You can ask FDev to consider some of their choices and you may have an opinion that you can voice. But you have about as much right as I have to demand anything from Fdev.

First time I've seen someone on the forum with a red rep bar. Considering neg rep was removed a good while back, that's saying something. Maybe calm down a bit before those tyrant mods come after you ;)

But ED have really got to sort the missions out - there's nothing substantial for the solo player. The assassination missions are awful: repeatedly dropping out into random USS - that really is a poor element of gameplay. The strong signal USS implementation doesn't help with this at all. There really needs to be more content - and above all more FUN, progression and purpose.

Ditto with Enride. Have you not seen the amount the devs have been doing. They're putting hard yards in and really moving the game in the right direction. I'm sure they just roll your eyes at thread titles like yours but I'm also sure it's not the best feeling seeing it after a big day of coding.
Until you learn how to criticize constructively I hope the devs do what I'm about to, ignore you.

I bow to your more reasoned critique, that and I have a hole in my trousers so can't get up.

This post is comedy gold:

Brutal oppression! Nanny state! Control the market! Patriarchy! Subordinates! Real internet! V for vendetta! Freedom!

Sorry but what on earth are you talking about?

Game development is not some kind of democracy, where you get a bespoke product that is custom made to your exact, personal specification. FD (nor any game developer for that matter) owe you that or anything. They are a commercial entity that can create whatever product they see fit.

They create a product according to their artistic vision, which you either are on board with or you aren't.

They don't owe you anything beyond a functional product. If you don't like what they're selling, then noone made you buy it. Vote with your wallet. The fact that FD are responding at lightning quick speeds to customer feedback from these forums is testament to how much they care about their product and their customers.

Don't like the price of the new spaceships? BOOM. Half as cheap, 2 days later.

...and yet there's no pleasing some people.

Also OP: please don't presume to speak for the silent majority with your ideas. I've played since beta, and I strongly disagree with all of your points.

Peace

Also reporting everyone in this thread for trolling, including myself just to be sure.

Also report the mods, they turn up and make daft 80s action film jokes, like 'stick around' by Arnie in Predator after he impaled someone.
There's that and of course that their tea tastes awful.

He thinks he has the right to demand it's fixed...?

I haven't laughed so much in ages!


Now, how do I get out of this chicken oufit?
