[Really Annoyed] I'm boycotting AEGIS CG's until the Thargoid fiasco gets cleared up

Dbrn47 might not like the label, but if good portion of the posts in this thread in particular, keep saying the same thing and that same thing is essentially "FDev did no wrong" in varying degrees of words then I call it like I see it.


If DBrn47 didn't like being labelled a fanboi (and I can see from his sig he's not keen) maybe he shouldn't have picked up a stick and started dancing around FDev's fire.

Get over yourself, giving them a pass on something every developer does isn't walking their line or being a fan. It's called having a different perspective, understanding general game development and being reasonable about it. It would make no difference to me how they did it if the result was the same, which is Thargoids were being killed in droves so they changed something or anything to slow that down. I've played a lot of other games, too many in fact, things get changed if they are imbalanced and they aren't always fun to deal with as a player. Being that they are a story element, I imagine it had a high priority. You don't have to like it, but you need to accept it and move on, or just move on.

None of this means I'm magically enamored with the company and agree with everything they do. I've already done my parading around about things that have annoyed me about the game and how Frontier does things and I have a signature to let them know every time I post that I still don't like some things. All this means is I disagree with you and Susanna on your boycott and your premise for it. Some of the stuff they do is very acceptable, some is quite poor judgement and some is just middle ground whatever. Now I'm not going to argue with you about how I do or don't actually feel about the company anymore, if you want to continue that garbage, you can continue it with someone else that wants to entertain it.

If you understand general game development then you would know the Thargoids would never have been released in the state they were and the fix wouldn't be to take the weeks long grind the players just made from under their feet. Yes they had to do something and that was something called QUALITY CONTROL which FDev just don't do of which a mountain of evidence is there to prove the point.

Due to this lack of QC/QA we also have tons of bugs or missions not appearing or payouts not working or G5 mods costing with G1 materials etc.
 
Is there really any need for the amateur dramatics?..

Have any of the biggest complainers tried soloing or seen the many cmdr videos of soloing thargoids since the multicannons were released?

If you want to solo a thargoid it's still quite simple to do so. Either use multicannons only or 1 to 2 missile racks in combo with multis.

The missile nerf changes nothing.

Disclaimer: I am boycotting CGs for other reasons. Weaksauce gameplay, repetitive grind, badly balanced thargoid AI, nerfing missiles instead of buffing thargoids, lacklustre 2.4 initial release and stupid AX weapon limit plus class 2 limit.

No one is complaining about not being able to kill them with missiles alone. People are unhappy, to repeat for the hundredth time, missles being adapted rather than Thargoids adapting.

Add in to that an incredulity that simple adaptations have to be patched in.

Yep, it slipped through QA in my eyes too. Of course, there's no way I can know that for sure unless they say so. Should I shed a tear? For whatever reason, we have always had particularly interesting bugs that make it through. If you want to boycott CGs over it, I think it's silly and don't think it'll fix the issue, but sure why not.

The OP is flat out wrong. The Thargoids are quite solo friendly. Once I figured out the mechanics, I can kill one by myself in a matter of minutes EVERY TIME.

It doesn't require nearly as much skill as a PvP fight and mostly requires having OK aim with fixed weapons. Not "easy" but very doable.

That's TODAY, Zilijan - this thread is from just after when the nerf happened and then, they were not, multicannons didn't exist; so while you are saying thargoids are easy to kill now, at the time of the OP they weren't soloable immediately after the nerf.

and this thread isnt just about that, it's about how it was handled overall, the implementation of the content in the first place and the sloppy "fix" FDev had to do after.

the game content has changed from the OP, so maybe you might like to revisit your post and ammend accordingly?

(or not your choice, but its clear you are commenting based on outdated information.)
