Isn't that similar to the suggestions sub-forum... Where threads go to die?No, just surprised it's not been moved to Off-topic by now.
I decree that this thread be officially repurposed as the "Petition to move The State of the Game" thread to off topic!No, just surprised it's not been moved to Off-topic by now.

Being optimistic therecan co-exist peacefully
Being optimistic there![]()
I just figured the thread is kept where it is as a kind catch-all and prevents an endless number of tedious threads from being started on the DD sub-forum.
A sort of zoo where the forum insane and the forum undead can co-exist peacefully.
Ok Cher.Don't push your luck sonny!
I hope you've realized by now how arrogant you were to think you could actually have your own opinion about the game: listen to those who don't play anymore: they know.Because I thought I was enjoying myself until a stranger told me otherwise. It was on the internet, so it must be true![]()
Do you change your profile image every time you get an infraction?Well, Bottom and Ender haven't been banned yet and I've gone a week without an infraction.
NO ROBERT NO!
No, I play to my strengths of having zero originality and pick avatars based generally around what's happening on the forums.Do you change your profile image every time you get an infraction?
Not a complaint, by the way; it's now something I expect and would be weirded out if your profile remained unchanged, enough that it'd require a "u ok hun?"
There are a few surface installations that are particularly horrendous in tanking frame rates, hopefully this is what is being addressed specifically in Update 7.I'm actually enjoying the game content (on-foot missions and exploration) but, to be honest, the framerate hasn't been consistent enough and I've yet to try some team content.
I'm also quite curious about update 7, although I know that any expectations regarding performance apparently need to be tempered...At the moment, I'm waiting for update seven to drop.
After every update, I thought I'd be able to do an 'Its worth playing now' Top Shift, because the I'm actually enjoying the game content (on-foot missions and exploration) but, to be honest, the framerate hasn't been consistent enough and I've yet to try some team content.
I would observe through that since update one, the communication Via the CMs has much improved and they've kept their word about doing regular updates and not leaving things until the console version is ready. However, I do feel that there's still a long way to until people feel they can trust an fdev announcement about Elite though. Heck, it took NMS five years to get from mostly Negative to mostly positive.
I think it's a reasonable comparison. Personally I think part of the problem is FD keep trying to bite off more than they could chew, which has always been my claim about Odyssey and it bringing space legs to the game. Space legs won't fix smuggling. Space legs won't fix tissue sampling. Space legs won't fix outbreak missions. Space legs won't fix the under-utilisation of in-game assets."Being human" == "agreeing with me"
I like Valheim too. I'll go check with Iron Gate if they feel they could take on Elite as a project and deliver a product that's "worth fixing" as the basic low bar we're discussing here. I'm sure it'll be a cinch given they're basically the same type of game and definitely worth using as an example of how EDO could be better.
Valheim is just so far away from Elite in so many different ways I just don't play it and think "Elite could do it this way" for very much at all, except maybe the fact that Elite has a horrendous "crafting" system, holistically.I think it's a reasonable comparison.

Some of those, granted, are hard problems. But how hard could it be to fix a basic logic and/or maths problem like smuggling? It worked for ages, and then suddenly it didn't. I even reported it during the beta it came up in. I can convince myself maybe there's some complex networking or wireframe-interaction issue preventing Tissue sampling.... but failing to correctly calculate the cost of a smuggled good? That's basic.
It doesn't matter how big or small your project is, if it's broken, it's broken. Nobody cares how complex it is behind the scenes when it simply doesn't do what it's meant to on the tin.
(Funnily enough, I didn't agree with the Op. Op says they shouldn't bother... I think they should)
I added an edit at the bottom, just fyi. Sorry, i always do that...Valheim is just so far away from Elite in so many different ways I just don't play it and think "Elite could do it this way" for very much at all, except maybe the fact that Elite has a horrendous "crafting" system, holistically.
And I'm playing it right now. Just don't see any benefit drawing comparisons between the two games. It doesn't solve the issues with EDO.
