People are saying same stuff as last time this happened, and its all too familiar.. some are happy because they want quality, some are unhappy cos they want features. Im personally unhappy this time. Last time i was happy because i wanted quality of game to improve, but did quality improve? Ive noticed no improvement really. Sure little things have been added, but the game had not progressed in a very long time.
Seriously, ive not had this much smoke blown up my ar** since fable 3.
Its a very confusing move.. if the idea is to keep a community playing a game, why let them down at last minute?..... twice with one bit of content let alone the other content related letdowns.
I can see this game going same way as pirates of the burning sea... a beautiful concept and broken promise after broken promise with stupid, uneeded and uninspired content added occational to appease people that is aimed at large groups to try and solidify community whilst the player base slowly dwindles to next to none rendering all the large group content pretty much useless.
All this "next gen launch game" crap is ridiculous too. People remember.. if they launched pirates of the burning sea again with same engine but said it was for next gen, i would just remember what a mess it was and my frustration at it all... i wouldnt think "god yeah, il go through that again!". And its not the bugs that killed potbs, it was the lack of progression in content aimed at the individual player
I mean sure, gta5 did it and it worked.. but pretty much from day one we were all waiting for xbox one to launch and unlock gtas full potiential and it was a short wait.
I personally got every ship in game, tried everything, played it to bordom and ran out of stuff to do ages ago.. last thing that added anything to game for me was the engineers update.. since then ive just been collecting money for nothing really... just sits there. The only thing that kept me playing was more end game content being on the way.. a bigger ship or a story that was engaging and fun.. but none of it arrived. We were told it would and it didnt.. instead what we have had its early to mid game stuff added over and over.. game improvments for new players and some wierd obsession with drawing more new people in to play whilst they just kinda ignore the people who have been here from the start.
I mean jesus! The alliance ships added to game! They are all rubbish.. we already had better ships in game... and the type 10! Awesome idea! Lets make a combat vessel out of a cargo ship!
Fleet carriers was the first bit of content that made the game feel like it was actually progressing, and theyve screwed us twice on it. Dont get me started on that bloody CQC mode they added.. all that time wasted adding total rubbish to the game.. and all the bugs and needed updates after each bit of rubbish gets added.. this is why progression gets delayed over and over.. its not the communities fault for being fed up of bugs and petioning to have them fixed, its not the the creator of the elite francises fault for not meeting promises.... its his teams fault for basically being idiots who think there will be an endless stream of new players all the time they improve start of game.. the fans of elite.. the people who have played it since 1984 are already in game and even put money forward to aid its development, but over the years ive slowly seen them dwindle as the game fails to live up to the feeling achieved from playing the previous installments which, by age alone should be left in the shadows by elite:dangerous. All the things that need fixing, all the missed deadlines and delays.. all this so you can add a few cr@p ships, thousands of bugs and some e exploration update that makes the never ending expance of space still never ending, but explorable faster.... Id feel like a f*cking idiot if i was the one paying the devs to continue doing there fine work
