Modes The Solo vs Open vs Groups Thread [See new thread]

[atak2]

It is merged because of the squeaky wheel tactic being used by some delusional people who think that if they keep trying to resurrect the topic then FD will change their minds. After all, it has worked in other games, but in other games the players could apply pressure through subscriptions. Fortunately FD have not gone that route so the only people they have to pay attention too are their own shareholders, and we are quite happy with the current figures

See my previous comment for the type of player you represent:

"I think a lot of forum posters waste their time and energy countering every players opinion trying to drown out dissenting opinion in order to monopolise a thread. When I browse any thread on any opinion I judge each new opinion, I don't base it on number of posts and I'm sure Frontier would judge them the same way."

Anyway - DB should be in da house shortly with more info - in light of which I have unilaterally declared beer o'clock.

Cheers everyone!

Define large chunk? I thought the complaint was not enough targets in open and the need to 'incentive's solo/group players' to move.

You missed a bit. It's about "easy mode" now. It moves pretty quickly in here, mind your feet.

Reddit, and any other "soshul meedya" are irrelevant, unpleasant pits of pointless whinging by people who can, for the most part, barely string a sentence together. It's the online equivalent of graffiti.

At least here on the official forum, there is general literacy which isn't actually painful to read.

Your posts are generally full of nonsense "Play with your routers" rubbish.

I can't decide if I should watch it here or sneak off for a flier. Cheers though.

It was a joke. I included a little winky face. "Trolling" and "blasting" are cheap shots.

you got rep for it aswell, made me smile for 1 minute lol

Mostly because it's very pertinent to the conversation. Besides, I like playing with my routers. They are better conversationalists than some pew-pews.

Majority of open/pvp players have problems regarding community goals.

Reddit isn't social media and FD take large chunks of content from it, the readership of the official ED subreddit is probably bigger than this forum.

Apparently asking for better AI because shieldless eagles attacking your conda is as hard a challenge as solo players need is wrong It's easy to troll.

I am happy with the power-play news, and look forward to more engaging online play. I find it odd so many lonely solo bears complain about players in online mode getting more from the game. They are playing with other people, what do you expect? The extra enjoyment the get from the game is "emergent", and not necessarily doled out by FD . I also find it hugely ironic that so many complained about how guilds would "dominate" space, when in actual fact we now have a game mode designed around Domination, that can include solo players. The idea that the latest update favors one set of players over another, given they ALL HAVE THE SAME OPTIONS, is laughable at best. The truth is, people do not want to play online because they die too easily. If solo was as dangerous, and the NPC's as competent as Online players, then you would have the same issue as in Online. It seems to me people want all the same reward, and none of the risk.

And a majority of solo/group players have no problems regarding community goals. Not sure why open think they should have their own way

Not targets people not targets!!!! I dont want to play sniper elite!!! I dont want people to shoot at. I want people to FIGHT WITH. Its a difference. I want actual combat, not the ez pz that NPC's are. I dont mind dying. I DONT. But it never happens cuz after 130 hours of open play, i barely met 10 players. I tried interdicting somebody once. I wanted to talk to him and get in a wing with him. He insta-combat-logged. YUP

No, its a flashcard you bring up on virtually every occasion you frequent the forums. As for the matter of conversation - "pew-pews" at least have something to offer versus your bland diatribe.

That's why you need to discuss things and have balance. If all modes are supposed to be "equal" and one "mode" has a problem with it that the others modes don't then I don't think that's equal.

LOL

So, you've failed to make a valid point in the thread, rehashed a lost old argument and gotten no where with it - so you resort to being insulting;

niiiice.

I have not made points you have agreed with. Fantastic, thats what debates are about. As for being insulting, I have replied to other players being insulting to a forum demographic.

Oh the sniping is strong in this thread! Let me reload my .50Cal

The thing is: more space games are on the way. Space Citizen(probably a failed game at first, but still show promise), No Man's Sky, Fractured Space and some other arena space shooters. FD need to strenghten their position as at least the second best game(if SC succeds) or first. And right now, seems like all of those games have something in common. Strong emphasys on multiplayer. I think anyone with at least 2 numbers in their IQ can realise what i'm trying to say here..

10 players in 130 hours? Really? I logged on today and saw 14 players in one station at Orrere. Another 8 or so next door. In each instance in supercruise in this part of Space there are about 3 or four people. Are you playing at 3 in the morning? Out in some distant nebula? I am skeptical of these spurious claims about the number of players online, and it is either down to ignorance or dishonesty.

But all modes are not equal. Open had an exclusive ‘First to Elite’ competition'. Open had an exclusive ‘Nvida graphics card’ challenge. Wings is pretty much entirely open & groups (nothing for solo). But open players are still not satisfied and want even more. It seems that open players constantly expect other mode players to give up something to make them happy

OK, let me ask you this. I want to be specific here. I'm simply considering you, as a player. I want no mention of modes.

How are you the player being cheated, when you have access to virtually all modes of play, all the time? Aside from preference! Because your preference isn't any more valid than mine, if I choose to "HIDE" in solo, that's my preference.

So full well knowing you have access to all modes 24-7, just like me. How is this game unfair to you? How is this not completely and utterly balanced to every single player in this game?
