Can't speak for others of course, but I'm certainly not going to. And I don't drink either, so no chance of my tongue being loosened that way. I expect someone will have too much to drink and get a bit loud, but it won't be me.
I'll have my daughter with me anyway. I'll be on my best behaviour, promise. x
I'll second this, me too.
We do not care about their little parties. We are not like some people that are killing other people's dreams and making them feel humiliated. But we do care about offline solo we have paid for and promises they have broken!
Of course that is an important requirement, had never said anyhting less than that.
But it is still a requirement of a product which may be declined because of technical reasons.
And I understand that people are upset who wanted that product mainly because of this requirement.
But anyway...
ED is a project. FD wants to deliver this product BUT which has to be developed first and not a product that was ready of being delivered from the beginning.
And like every project you may not get exactly at the end what you at first thought you are able to deliver.
Now we will get delivered a product, for me let's say 95% from what I had expected but for you perhaps only 50% from what you had expected...
for other maybe more than 100%!
That is live..damned...
It is tragedy that it has come to that situation...
Lol it will end quickly
I think it would be disingenuous if anyone did disrupt the premier. It's fair enough that they have a gripe against Frontier, but there will be many people there who do not and who have looked forward to the event. It is not their fault that the project will not deliver to expectations for some. I sincerely hope that common decency prevails and that anyone with an axe to grind does it without disrupting those that do not.
Hey cs thanks for that, great to read a respectful response! This thread moves too fast to keep up with!
None of that is visible on the main ks page or shop but obviously was promised in other places. I will happily play online but it does suck if that offline option never appears and that is the only way you are willing to play.

Even though I backed both, ED was my favourite as I believed in DB's and FD's integrity and moral superiority, because they appeared being even closer to the backers. With recent developments however, it appears that those virtues are rather on Starcitizen's side. Who knows what stunt they will come up with though. I have never seen this coming.
It is even more ridiculous to believe that Frontier would deliberately obtain backer money under false promises, then publicly announce reneging on these promises two weeks before the big launch event and NOT expect this to blow up in its face big time.
.
Come on. If it looks like stupidity then it most likely was just that --stupidity. Frontier got carried away with their big dream, and with everybody joining them in their big dream, and they overpromised. They wrote out vouchers they could not make good on. And when they realised this, they tried to do the right thing --tell people, even if it was going to reflect really badly on their impending launch event-- even if they did it badly. Because I suspect that they didn't realise it would be such a big deal for so many people. I mean, until now most moans had been about a boring, empty galaxy no? About poor network performance. About lack of group play features. About online features, basically. So they totally misjudged this.
.
If stupidity is a crime, I'll see you in prison --I'm taking dibs on the top bunk.

Well if SC do implement a truly offline experience then I can see a percentage of ED backers leaving forever when it (eventually) hits release.
I for one have always enjoyed Chris Robert's space opera's (having played the original Wing Commander) on release on my Amiga 500. I stopped once he got too far ahead of the technology curve with his later releases because for the greater proportion of players they were simply too demanding on machine resources and were almost literally unplayable.
So if my machine specs are in the ballpark upon it's release I will certainly entertain looking into it.
HOWEVER it is NOT Elite and now that the promise held out to us older generation of an up to date rebirth of the most important game of all time has basically been withdrawn for those of us with poor internet availability I will SADLY be looking elsewhere.

That'll be my overreaction sand related comment I suspect. Yes I threw the toys out of the pram on that line, I'll retract that paragraph and appologise to you all for my outburst displayed in it.
Yes I've been rightly wrapped on the knuckles for that post, which has assisted in clearing the red mist from my eyes, your all still stuck with me though and me with you lot too.
It is also an answer to one of the FAQs on the bottom of the KS page.
Naw, never seen much use for luck when skill and practice are much better, true for lots of things.
As per their newsletter they are not offering refunds to anyone who accessed the beta/alpha. This is absurd even EA offered me a quick and no questions asked refund for a BF4 after release and after I played it because I wasn't satisfied with the way they changed the game from previous releases.
Either have offline mode or give me my money back if I keep getting canned messages and long winded excuses I'm going to have to file a chargeback. It is really regrettable it has to be this way but I cannot support a game or business that acts in this manner.
