Some quick notes from the official Discovery Scanner Dev Diary 2 livestream

You could stand on a chair and complain about it :D

Whats the point? I asked Arthur over a month ago for a simple yes is going to be updated / no its not and that seems too challenging to answer. I see many people in the Twitch and Youtube chat ask about Powerplay and instead the CMs go off talking about space pets or nose hair. I had to really press Arthur for a response about asking about Powerplay for gods sake, "its on my to do list"- well really? How hard is it to ask EDs lead whats going on? I'm not asking for miracles.

If the answer is as simple as "no" you would probably have it by now. Or he's having issues finding anything who knows what pp is ;)

I imagine its the latter- I know Powerplay is still in because you can see it on the monitor in the diary, but a simple "yes its going to see love" would be enough.

Take heart from the fact that most things they keep quiet about are getting updated - silence before admitting stations were walkable, silence before expanding on how vr works. Maybe you'll be able to shake kumo by the hand as he hands you that bucket of chicken after all :)

:D I hope so- however silence in Powerplay land is just that- silence. Its been years of silence with the only crumb of information being FD giving tacit approval of changes if the opportunity arises (if I remember that statement right). To be honest the most disconcerting part is that any mention of Powerplay is ignored, and not even given a "no comment". Several people ask it each week and in all of the Supercruise news, dev diaries and unscheduled streams its....nothing.

Just wait until you find out how they react to our constant requests about cockpit cats. They are ignoring it as well and everyone knows which topic is more important here.

Just blend the two- what could go wrong?

Well, its FDs own fault for shafting the communities that grew around Powerplay really :/

Agreed. Same thing applies to yes you've guessed it folks......Megaship Piracy.

I dunno how they can create these gameplay features, encourge players to invest time into them, and then abandon them like a bag of wet, cold chips.

That's not true - I think it was the Monday stream that Arf specifically called out that he was still looking for an answer for PP. Not sure why it's taking so long, but hey - fdev 🤷‍♂️

I know- I was the one doing the asking :D
Huh, so why say this when you know it not to be true:

Nobody left on the dev team who knows what PP is? 🤭

Jokes aside, I'd love PP to be integrated in the new mission system, at least as a little extra.
 
#facepalm
When i got home, and saw the title of the stream, I thought it was going to be about the FSS and or DSS.

Because, as I said, I've been asking for news in every Supercruise news, every dev diary, every livestream, every time a CM posts here, on Twitch etc and at no time have they said 'no comment' or said anything regarding the status of Powerplay at all. This is despite Powerplay coming up from people over and over- not once had any CM proactively said "we are still waiting for news". I literally had to shame Arthur into answering in that instance- just like I had to with Zac (and earn about 6 infractions), Will and Ed. Its why I'm frankly fed up asking because FD don't seem to care.

All Arthur did was say "I know you asked the question and I'm waiting" once, which in my book (after the detailed breakdown VR users and the plethora of info from the diary) is a non answer- its been about what, six weeks? How long does it take to ask a line manager to look at 'the plan'?
