Mobius has a registered number which equates to 2% of the registered number of ED players. Not that big a number at all.

You assume a lot.

I assume of that remaining 98% of registered players, who all must have internet access to play ED, also have access to google and the ability to use it and yet do not want to join Mobius or are happy with Open, Private or Solo.

Honestly try it

The address is www.google.com ( Other search engines are available ) and use key words like PVE, Elite Dangerous.

Positive interaction can be amazing in this game.

The Hutton Crew mention many times PwP (play with players), they came up with a crazy idea (CG), got people on board, sorted a radio feed etc.

<looks over shoulder for wife location> I did 23 runs to Hutton, that is 34.5 hours just getting there in system, that's 50/60 hours total in one week, whilst doing a full time job, I got collared by the wife at 3 am once (I slowed down after that). All that to deliver scrap and make no profit to help out a bunch of ED madmen get a Mug!

I was on auto pilot at work for a week, the funny thing is I was in the top tier and I did 99% in solo, I read all the good stuff about open with some CMDR's working as docking controllers, people forming an orderly queue to dock etc and I wanted to be a part of it, both open and Mobius were too laggy for me and I was not seeing anyone anyway, I did try open and Mobius a few times but no luck with the instancing.

That said I did more than my fair share, and felt part of the team even though I only ever saw a few CMDR's in SC.

I still feel this is not an oversight...but part of FDevs plan. The lack of a private group mode in XBone, seems to confirm this. Mobius is a workaround to a design feature of the game.

You must have missed Michael confirming that FD are working on Private Groups for XBox One:

From the desk of Michael Brookes:

"As well as the 1.5 release for Xbox One we’re working on the First Discovered By, Private Groups, DLC (such as paint jobs) features, as well as Horizons of course! We’ll provide more details on all these as we approach their release."

I have to ask then, where is the justification for the greatly smaller than Mobius open only crowd to demand a separate Universe?



Edit: I find it interesting that Mobius is brought up and every time they are dismissed as a "minor" rather part of the player base, but it is completely ignored that Every argument for Open has come from even smaller percentage of the player base than Mobius, yet they feel justified for their demands while at the same time, drenched in hypocrisy, claim Mobius is just a insignificant minor bit of the player base.


Tis rather funny actually.

Says the man toting Mobius banners.

Where does your figure of Open having a "greatly" smaller player base than Mobius come from?

I assume you have a source to back this up, otherwise its a purely baseless comment. I would hate to think a spoke person for Mobius would make them.

I love how you try to deflect and such without answering the question at all ^,^

And it is not baseless as you claim, how about you count all the people who have made demands and such... there are your numbers and far less than the factual of all who have joined Mobius. To claim that there are so many more who don't post yet believe as you do.. now that is baseless as it is pure conjecture.

You claim to be the voice of open, but are one person with an opinion who thinks he is talking for everyone in open and that everyone in open believes as the "voice of open" does.. talk about baseless.

I think you'll find, that like you - lots of people are too lazy to do any research in to the game (hence my "Wall of Information").
The history of the SOG threads is proof of that, as even your own points for open only or open buffs were debunked by myself and others with use of Google and the "Wall of Text" was born.
Proving you either never used Google yourself (so it is quite funny how you claim people know everything about Elite due to it), or you just took to deceit from the start?

People buy a game, and just hit "Play" - these forums prove that. As everything you can do in game is on YouTube and found through Google, yet people still ask basic questions that they can find the answers to themselves.
No one wants to spend time researching or looking things up - so things like Private Groups (Mobius and Cannon for example) are still widely unknown within the game.
I still regularly see posts containing "I've played for months and didn't know about [name of private group]".

Also, funny how Private Groups will be coming out on XB1 and there is already talk of a Mobius Group on that platform.

And finally, welcome back. I must admit, this thread has been rather slow without you.
I'm looking forward to some momentum :)

It is interesting that you picked that post to respond to.

I think I should just thank you for showing how PvE groups will never be as good as a PvE option in the menu where you can not shoot another CMDR, I was previously against the "magic shields" option, but you helped me change my opinion on this too, so thanks again.

<Exits stage left, before giving the mods no choice other than give me a forum holiday>

Great Christmas ad, I really like this one too.

I was watching a BBC Documentary on WWI and it was stated that in some sectors it lasted far longer than 3 days.

A good song about it by Collin Raye with Johnny Cash intro.

No matter your stance on SOG, no matter your faith or belief, if you celebrate anything this season or even if you do not.

Maybe one day as Humans we can wage war and resolve conflicts in online competitions and bloodshed and real fighting can finally end.

The warmongers in charge of the UK just voted to start dropping bombs in Syria... so that idea is a long way off.
The looks of glee and joy on their faces, the speaker of the house even started laughing as the vote was passed.

We cannot even get a subset of players to leave other players alone who want nothing to do with them.
So if gamers cannot get along and coexist, I doubt those turning a profit from war in the real world will put much effort in to resolving anything.

Probably a good idea to leave your real world politics out of video game fantasyland. I guess you would rather have the crazy terrorists in Syria just go about their business coordinating terror attacks on a global scale? I spent six years of my life carrying a rifle in defense of my country, and it sickens me to see stuff like this. People are dying for you, every day, so that you can post your arrogant thoughts online. Remember that.

Maybe you should back off as you know nothing about Jockey. I suggest you browse the SOG threads.. you may learn something important about him.

Myself, I spent 12 and a half years serving my country and it is actually why I cannot PVP. And I believe that if we need to fight we should, but would love it if we didn't have too. And for leaders who send you, me, and every other man or woman in uniform to fight, I feel should be there as well. It is so much easier to support war when you are not the one fighting it. Jockey's disgust I feel is that the people who voted to drop bombs and put their military members in danger... were laughing about it, people will die, terrorists, military members, and civilians... and they were laughing.


I would love it if No one had to carry a weapon for anything other than shooting targets or hunting for food, I am just damn glad you are not sleeping in Arlington, Riverside, Rosecrans, or any other National, or local cemetery. I Thank you for your service, I do not thank you for your attitude.
