Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Reading your posts over the last couple of months, the only conclusion I can come to is that it's a troll account.


Ant is just a perfectly normal low-level backer, happy with his $45 chariot, and quietly impressed by CIG’s steady and sensible progress. This simply moves him to share the good news with us naysayers. Every single day.

(Some say there’s gold at the end of his rainbow, but personally I don’t care either way. I just like the funny little leprechaun dance he does to cast his magic in the air ;))

Nah, it's a troll.
 
I've been reading this forum for a LONG time but just decided to create an account. I've enjoyed Tippis' posts being way over my technical head, AgAunt/Schiz/Ecity/Navigare being the ultimate skeptics, and mostly Mole and his pictures living on Shutter Island. I am a SC backer from the old days right after kickstarter. I've gone through different phases of hope and hopelessness with SC, but at this point it's clear that the bar is set so incredibly low that people like Ant will post dev logs about new clouds or weapons and call it progress. Never mind that they haven't been able to get a functioning physics system, any new gameplay loops in years, teasing a new system for YEARS, consistently lying about and pulling SQ42. Old bugs I've fought for 4+ years like refueling, phasing through solid objects. It's just a complete and utter joke. I still check in on it from time to time; I did like mining in the little miner ship for quite a while until they ruined the scanners and I basically never played again (6-12 months ago?).

Even at the height of my SC beer goggles, I came here first for balanced skepticism and information. The SC subreddit is cancer and basically a place to circle jerk to some cool screenshot of a sunset/sunrise we've seen a million times. Anyhow, thanks for the years of entertainment and balance. I'll continue to follow SC here first before anywhere else.

Welcome to the most entertaining forum thread on the internet, IMHO. :)
 
Here's an interesting chart

Over on Spectrum...

Insurance timers are causing some debate.


Some taking a lighthearted view of it


Some people really trying to spin it as positively as they can


Someone looking to rustle some jimmies


Ooooh, someone doing a LitteAnt, saying what happened in the past doesn't matter and CIG are free to change the product they promised to deliver. Someone quoted CIG's statement about private servers, moddable, etc and someone responded with this gem...

You have to take the most recent information.

Unfortunately the Kickstarter is way past over. The Wiki page has been updated more recently. Thus the Wiki page is more up to date, and legit.

So don't be surprised if suddenly at release CiG says "no private servers, and no solo play, it's only multiplayer". Not saying its going to happen, but. All of the most recently updated official pages says multiplayer/MMO style game. Nothing else.

Yup, there you have it. Its perfectly ok for CIG to change what they are delivering because what was promised a long time ago is no longer accurate. Its for people like this i'd love CIG to completely change what they are delivering to the point they get up in arms about it, and then people can quote their defenses of CIG's practices right back at them.

Isn't it amazing the number of streamers that are just accidentally being visited by Idrises? I'm sure its total coincidence and the devs are not just spawning Idrises near known streamers to get caught on camera...


And the streamers are absoloutely in cahoots with CIG on this, take a look at this one.


You can even see the Idris come on screen, and the streamer somehow fails to notice it, turns away, and then turns back and acts all surprised. Yeah, i'm not buying that. Bonus points for part of the Idris not rendering. Also how the ships are floating in that video really highlights how bad the flight model is. Its really like looking at a model in an asset viewer. No sense of weight or resistance.

And...


To which was replied...

I think the failure is yours trying to understand what SOCS was supposed to be. They repeated many times that SOCS wasn't the silver bullet some people was expecting. There's no Jesus patch that is going to improve everything all of a sudden.

Of course it wasn't meant to be a silver bullet. That's just why every time prior to OCS we were told once OCS arrives things will get much better. This was before iCache or Server Meshing were being discussed. Then CIG implemented CSOCS, and when people complaned they were told, ah, but its only CSOCS, wait for SSOCS, things will really get better then.

And now, people complain about SSOCS not being the silver bullet, and people are told to wait for iCache and Server Meshing.... and people wonder why we skeptics exist!

Yeah, I saw the Idris sightings. It's mad how the Idris-spawning AI seems to favour live streamers. As for that second video, it's a sad indictment of where the game is at... Take any single frame and it generally looks rather nice. Make things move and... Look at the first few seconds: the car suspension goes wild and the streamer quickly adjusts the zoom to remove it from sight. Then there's the weird flight, and then when the Idris flies over, you can see through it, like the inside and top aren't rendered...
