Engineers The game turned into [censored]

martin.the.cat · Nov 16, 2016

Hi FD,
what have you done with the game, [censored]??? [arrrr]

WD & N Stars kill the ship at the exit of the jump. NEW GAMEPLAY -- TELEPORT HOME???
Player's Interdicting does not work against Bots at all, the Bot's Interdiction -- 100% positives, and even across the planet. <this is an actual mod edit >
Bots on the Cobras fired from raiguns like a machine gun (!!!): this process does not overheat the Bot's ships. REALISM???
Bot (the same one) on the FDL can chase the Anaconda (jump 40+ LY) from System to System. HOW???
Consideration for the Missions is a penny, Missions on the boards -- a little. WHY???
Rank in the Empire/Federation is not growing. CUTED FROM THE GAME???
... and many many other bugs. [down]

Please, return the ED that was in the winter of 2015-2016!!!
I don't want to play what you did with ED!!! It's a crazy grind for the grind <I paid money not for this [censored], as you know!>

PS
I do not write a bug report because it's just useless (already wrote, the problem is not solved).

Only one of these bugs is actually a thing.
- very rare case but fixed 100% yesterday
- not true
- only you report this and seem to not know what the weapons in the game are called so ill just assume it was a multicannon that you mistook for a railgun
- you are confusing text on the screen for something it isn't
- missions buffed yesterday
- just untrue as well

You bought a game based on long term progression. If you choose to grind, that's your problem, mix up your activities instead.

You did better with that post than I think I have.

I will assume that English isn't his first language.

I agree with what I believe I was able to deduce from the OP's rant, that a whole bunch of stuff has been broken as of late with more getting broken by updates than we see those updates helping to fix bugs that have languished for weeks now. This is amounting to a growing mountain of bugs with not much changing for the better lately.

I have no idea what is going on with FD with all of this. All I know is that my SRV scanner doesn't work to find Outcrops like it should, and mission rewards are insultingly low all of a sudden and everyone is selling their Beluga Liners.

Yup 2.2 definitely broke the game. I mean 2.1 was bad enough but 2.1.05 fixed a lot of the issues and then 2.2 dropped and everything went belly up again *sigh. I wonder if FD have ever heard of QA. I mean first we got wings which was broken when it went live and is still broken now then we got powerplay we all know how that turned out and after that was horizons which had it's own host of bugs and then 2.1 and 2.2. After releasing half a dozen patches each one more buggy than the previous does it not occur them to hire a decent QA team and play test their game before it goes live? And by testing I don't mean using your players as guinea pigs but actual play testers who's job is find those bugs that no one thinks to look for. So Frontier if you are listening please for gods sake hire a decent QA team before this goes any longer please. Cuz 2.2 is a disaster and I can't take this anymore*sigh.

Good work - you made less sense than he did!

I'm guessing the OP finally got fed up with the current state of the game, possibly fuelled by certain in-game inconsistencies.

Hoping for a patch soooooon (ie now, not later)

2.2 fine for me. Still having fun in the game.

Sry but that is nothing new and all this points get daily discussed

Is FD working on it? We don't know...

TERMINATRIXXX · Nov 17, 2016

Looks like you got some serious problems, not the game.

You might feel bad because a computer controlled 'thing' owned you, its like playing with a chess computer.....you need to be clever to beat him.
All up to you.
There is no easy money and no 100% playermustwinchance. Accept this or play Tetris!

dayrth · Nov 17, 2016

Not been out of the bubble lately so not encountered the deadly stars and I cant comment on rank as I am Alliance (we don't have any

), but I have to say I'm not getting any of the other problems. I can interdict OK and escape when being interdicted. Not every time but most times. Not had any AI using weapons in an unusual way. AI following me to other systems are quite easily avoided or lost altogether in a jump or two. Made 8 million from 2 hours worth of missions last night.

You should make a bug report. Game seems not to be working properly for you.

P.S.
Why is this in the engineers forum?
