So, now that we know where ED is heading...

If you don't like multicrew or any features in the game, then DON'T use them. All of those features are optional and you are not forced into using it. If it doesn't support your playstyle, then just don't use it. Stop trying to everyone else over with your whining.[down]
 
It's never 100% sure, but with 2.3, FDev seem to have decided to turn ED into an multiplayer arcade combat game for Xbox One and PS4.
If I were running that company it is likely I would have done the same: go for the most juicy market.

So my question for the rest of us who are not into PvP, multiplayer and arcade combat: what do we do now?
-Wait and cry, hoping for a turn of event ?
-Look for an alternative which we know doesn't exist?
-Get a (real) life and use all this new found free time to catch up with old friends?
Or you could write a pointless forum post.

If you don't want to do multi-player, then nothing changes in your world. It isn't mandatory and nothing in single player mode changes (save the boxing of chat messages) .

You are correct, you don’t have to use them. Unfortunately however you have no choice but to pay for them, and that’s what really annoying.
£40 for a base game and 3 expansions that hold no interest is what I’d wager is the problem. It's not whining
 
They made one feature dedicated to combat which intorduced loads of other features for everyone. It's not the end of the world and everyone knew multicrew was coming.

Actually, you do. Just don't pay for Horizons.
 
We dont know where its heading. No-one except FD do. So we should just wait and see. Stuff has a funny habit of not turning out quite how you expected and equally stuff you thought you'd hate, turns out to be stuff you actually like. As Greavsie once said "its a funny old game"

Why did you buy it?! Why do you think your post makes any sense?! It doesn't.

I have a LTP so I get the content regardless. I have no interest in MC but I don’t begrudge it being included. I don’t necessarily like where it takes the game, but I’m not going to lose sleep over it as I just wont use it. But it’s obvious some people do take issue. £40 for landing on planets and a full season is good value, £40 for landing on planets and 4 expansions that hold no interest isn't. That’s likely why people get annoyed when they feel like they are not getting value.

Hopefully they change the season model next year so people can buy the content they want rather than having content that holds no interest. That way if you don’t like an update, you don’t buy it and don’t complain about it.

But hey, what I do care. I have LTP
 
I'm not sure If I'll be using multi crew (not enough friends https://forums.frontier.co.uk/images/icons/vbposticons/icon7.gif ), but other people using it wont spoil my fun - it's not compulsory, I can still play the way I have always played.

I like the idea that you can put out a request to be a crew member for anyone who is interested - might give that a go, could be fun - as long as you can stipulate what type of drinks you expect on board.

The new camera and character creator look great.

If you don't like the sound of a feature don't use it, but give it a go before writing it off, you never know you may enjoy it.

Looking forward to the beta.

AFAIK crew was already planned when they sold the LEP ;)
 
Oh, here we go. Another poster totally ignorant to the term "arcade" and lashing out like a petulent child at "those dirty, poopy console doody heads." All just because they want to throw a hissy fit and bash ED for not being a life simulator.
I may have used "arcade" wrongly. I meant action + giving priority to ease of use and immediate entertainment.
And If the perception was that I was lashing out like a etc. I'm sorry, I'm simply saying that it seems that ED is going that way and I understand why from a market point of view. I'm obviously also hinting that I'm not part of that market (for this game I mean).

Some of you guys bought/backed the wrong game. Maybe it's time to admit that and move on. It's nobody's fault you were wearing beer goggles when you decided to fund the game. Next time just be sober when buying/backing a game. Simples.
Well, I still have hopes that the game will meet at least some of my wishes, but you may be right. I'll wait and test the 2.3 release before, though.
 
What do we do?

If we feel displeased enough we go away to play something else.
Or if we can compromise, we do so and shut up.

At the end, what matters is what our wallets say, not so much our complains or rants.

Awwe. Only temp closed :(

What would Indiana Jones do?

I think, just me this is, FD hide "non combat" content behind the sexy stuff that sells.

I mean, 2.3 is highlighting multicrew and the commander creator.
But we got an awesome new camera in there too, better friends lists, probably more alien stuff.

Combat is exciting to more people than say, mining. But, we're getting turret mining lasers too.
It's just not front page news.
I hope you're right, that's why I'll wait for the 2.3 final release before making up my mind.:)
 
Wow - OP how insulting to Frontier and console owners.

A new game mode is added to a game that you have not much interest in - so what. Clearly you have spent 100's of hours in Elite Dangerous - maybe its time to get a reality check and get a real perspective of life in the real world.
