Patch Notes Update The Guardians Update: 2.2.01

VonBlade · Oct 27, 2016

Thanks for quick fixes and balancing.

I am chuckling at the irony of people shouting loudly about how unfair it is for FD to change something because people shouted loudly. Et tu Brute.

The whingers win again.

Whinge enough and you can get everything changed.

That's actually not true, FD have a pretty well established track record of listening to us and taking our opinions on board, but when it comes to making actual changes they make their own decisions based on where they want the game to go, not on our whingeing. They also have a track record of frequent "fixes" after a release if any of the features they released aren't quite working the way they wanted them to, so this patch is unsurprising.

- Reduced module and ship transfer distance costs by 50%

What about those of us that have already paid to transfer a ship out to Jaques?
I paid around 47 million to have my Vulture sent, not an insignificant amount

How about extending the Waldo CG for an hour or two because of the downtime caused by the update?

What happens when you already bought a product and it enter sale ? hehe

It happens! I already paid some money for the old transfer price... the price was acceptable for me so...

Indeed ... I'd already requested my CobraIII to be transported to Jaques at 20+ million doubloons :/

Jazzy · Oct 27, 2016

Thanks for the fixes

Missions not being wiped I hope from our active missions I am half way to Sag A with Tourist missions in "The Love Boat"...I hope I not wasted my passengers time?

HOW DARE YOU DO THAT AFTER I JUST SPENT 30 MILLION CREDITS IN TRANSFER COSTS?
*sobbing*

If this happened in a month or so I take it on the chin, even if I'd literally just paid for it - but this is 2 days after release, my ship hasn't even arrived yet

Interesting to note that in the last five minutes:

- attacked by pirate NPC demanding cargo when no cargo and not doing mission
- two NPC clippers blown up in space station for trying to do the lambda or whatever when trying to take off and getting stuck, to much tragicomic effect
- my autopilot has turned kamikaze and now wants me to headbutt just below the mailslot (multiple occasions since update)

These bugs are nothing new, yet continue to be bugs. Like many of the old bugs. Just saying.

Yeh I just had the suicidal DC trying to kiss just beneath the slot. Not something i am interested in lol

Bug report you describe clearly indicates passenger *might* be wanted. Scanned -> killed. It is by design and won't change much. Read mission descriptions more carefully next time.

I doubt instakills when leaving a station were part of the design, especially for shielded Belugas and Corvettes as people (and I) have reported. They're not easy to boost out the slot to outrun a scan.
The descriptions in the missions doesn't exactly say "you will lose your ship and cargo instantly if you accept this mission and leave the station".

Timing is very poorly thought out in relation to the Walter Waldo CG.

From a personal (selfish) point of view I have this afternoon off from work and was using the time to try and move from top 25% to top 10%, which I had calculated as being extremely tight already - this downtime will pretty much prevent me from attaining this goal now.

From a community point of view, the CG is slowly edging toward tier 9 and the downtime at this critical moment also puts that under threat.

So have FD considered this, and will they add 30 minutes to this CG to compensate?

X-Terminator · Oct 27, 2016

Bring back Sothis/Ceos payouts. Why now bother to even go so far from the bubble if they do not pay like before? All Missions generally need buffed else we may as well all Bounty Hunt respawning NPCs. FD must make reason to the high payouts else we will all be doomed to play SOLO and try to hold onto our precious assets. In fact it's high time that PvP was made DAMAGES ONLY in OPEN or add a high bounty with ONLINE NEAREST 5 MOST WANTEDS.

Outstanding, thanks Frontier!

No. No more relogging please.

Better payouts for missions - yes! But without relogging.

Time Streamer · Oct 27, 2016

Great stuff guys but don't forget the bug that's killing passengers: When you pick a multi-destination mission the destination gets screwed after you arrive at the first one. The system name gets updated correctly, but the target body still aims at the first system body. It seems the mission can still be completed, if you're crazy enough to search all system bodies for the correct beacon. Go nuts.

Tried the passenger feature yesterday, bought an Orca for it and dang. Two bugs in two missions. Not pretty.
