Which is now the reason there is a release tracker on the primary website.
Lessons learned and all that.
Lesson learned if the tracker turns out to be useful in any way, which given their pretty funny track record is doubtful. But time will tell, as with all things.
Funny how he completely ignored that part of the post... mighty funny.
There's a reason people ask the folks coming here to talk about how flawlessly the game is running for them to provide proof. It's because they are claiming to be experiencing something a youtube search does not show to be true. Why waste time searching for something that doesn't seem to exist when someone right here, right now, is claiming they have seen it. The least they could do is show their proof.

Let's be honest, there's no lesson learned in that. CIG is still in a process of making plans and schedules for the patch that was supposed to release in 2016, they had to know there's no chance to release 3.0 when they have promised to do it. It's simple, flashy videos and promises generate loads of revenue, they would have to be stupid not to use that fact to their advantage.

I just thought it was funny that the same standards you claim for yourself dont count for others
But seeing as sarcasm isnt your strong side lets just leave this behind usI wouldnt want my reply to be counted as "violent" toward pro-SC people ^^
Your passive aggressive is showing.
I can respond to any post just as easily as you can.
There are a bunch of videos out there.
Yep, some of them are used to poke fun and mockery at Star Citizen. And there a dozens of dozens more than show just the opposite, people having fun with even the buggy alpha.

Hrm, lemme see, schedules, developers talking in Twitter, Facebook etc. Letting people know as much as they can.
That's a lot more than others do. And yep, the plans and schedules evolve. The end of 2016 was still only a few months ago. Is 3.0 late from when CIG targeted? Yep. Was it promised for the end of 2016, nope.
If their Release Tracker uses their own Netcode - it'll be at least three months late, be 50% duplicated data, 50% nonsense that the client has to chew over anyway before discarding

Thats individuals claiming to have fun while showing a mediocre or horridly bugged tech-demo. None of these videos out there at the moment confirm any solid performance rates or show gameplay elements other then running and shooting. I can certainly see lots of adult men getting very very excited about nothing and I believe immediatly that these people do have fun. Again its just not "fun" as the rest of the world would understand.
In the end at least there are videos out there showcasing us stuff. Just none that would show the fun that I would expect from the descriptions given. In fact, the current youtube and twitch videos are the very BASE of the fun and mockery that exist about Star Citizen. And while verbal defense is quick to rise there is hardly any video release that would support that defense in any given way.
I m sorry....are you actually WindWpn because you answered a request aimed at HIM. The links you provide have zero relevance to the described scenario given by him. Just thought I point that out.
Yea, I will try to record next time via Twitch if I hit a similar experience. Though that is the thing, it can be unique each time... for the record, what all would you most like to see as "proof?"
1) The scenario where my ship was destroyed by someone while I was in the abandoned Covolex shipping port, and I had to commandeer another's ship to get back to Olisar?
2) Simply commandeering empty ships to experience/see how they fly and what is inside (given all I own is the Aurora LN)?
3) Flying out to Yela and doing a salvage/exploration experience in some derelict Starfarer wrecks?
Of course, also screen grabs, of the FPS counter in various areas such as Star Marine, ArcCorp, Arena Commander, and PU? Oh yea, and also experience with TrackIR as I can now use that natively in SC which is quite nice!
choice is yours...

Where did anyone say the game was running flawlessly? I honestly didn't see anyone saying that.
I said there are plenty of people on Youtube/Twitch etc. playing Star Citizen right now and having fun doing so.

We are talking 150 millions worth of predatory marketing (or outright false advertising depending on how you want to see it) already in the bag. Are you really going to hand wave that away just like that? People put money down as pledges based on the hype following all those constant and systematic "imminent" or "soon" or "weeks not months" or "before end of the year" announcements on key content that we are still waiting on.
Plus, do you really think that a tracker that looks just a few weeks ahead and has only been used for 3rd decimal order point bug fixing releases so far (excluding possibly Star Marine) solves anything?

Their obvious 2.6.3 fix to the "full launch pads" bugs, created a problem (ships spawning inside other ships) being experienced by a lot of people. Seems curious that you didn't experience this. What's your secret?

better yet..."stream" it so we can be sure you didnt photoshop the number in
Aint that the offline hack tho? Which of course makes you the only single soul on the server.
awww damn it
It is to him....period
Just calm down, passive agressive and all that, remember?
People were simply asking for a link to the "fun videos". You dont want to link them for whatever reaasons but rather write numerous posts instead of a one-liner containing the link in question....alls good

Then read other posts, because you clearly missed them.
So what you are saying Derek is the same bug, occurs to everyone, all the time?
Just trying to understand you here.

Could have been, just like some people are missing the fact that people do indeed have fun with the Star Citizen Alpha release.
Bugs and all.
People aren't questioning whether you are having fun with the game regardless of the bugs, I can't understand why you continue to insist that is the case.
Which part of my comment threw you off? I bet it was the "by a lot of people" part, wasn't it?
ps: Bugs of this nature, are part of the client/server. So yes, it CAN - and - WILL happen to everyone, given the right conditions. Why else do you think 2.6.3 became a thing that was major enough to not be pushed as 2.6.2D?

Developers aren't talking in Twitter or Facebook, the marketing department posts some videos and concepts, because they sell the ships. August 2016, when the Gamescom was, has the value of sold ships increase since the same month last year solely on the video shown, with no accompanying release.
So what does fulfill the requirements for promise, if a CEO of a whole goddamned company on one of the biggest gaming events has personally said it's targeted for the end of the year? Is he so untrustworthy that his words mean nothing?
And if you want to talk semantics how CEO of said company saying they're aiming for end of the year release doesn't constitute a promise, would you deny they have promised to try for the end of the year release? If not, why they didn't start to create a schedule and write design documents before the end of the year? Aren't those required for "trying to release" a patch?

Thank you for doing those searches for me. BoredGamer's video of the Buccaneer looks really smooth.
Do you have a favourite video of the new patch? Could you point me towards it?
So you are saying exactly what I said. Its possible that the player above didn't have those issues.
Thank you for clarifying.

Chris Roberts clearly says "no promises". In clear English.
Do we know that they didn't have design documents for 3.0? (I honestly don't know).
Thanks for the offer man, appreciate it.
What I would like to see is a video from start to finish without obvious interrupts showing you getting into the game, picking the mission and flying over. Whatever else you described (meeting other people, finding derelicts etc etc) is chance I get that but I would really love to see those constant 40 FPS or at least a video capture that would satisfy the use of "excellent". Anything else will be a bonus but seeing as you came across THREE derelicts and another abandoned ship in that single session expectations are high [/COLOR]
Active chat is a must to prove that its indeed a multiplayer match I d just like to repeat that I wouldnt want to see individual unconnected snippets of activities as you list them (ship blowing up SNIP going through an empty hull SNIP flying around) but an uninterrupted video stream from the moment you wake up in your cabin.
I am not very fond of screenshots. The right software and skillset can show pretty much anything as fact. The internet is full of fakes. At least when it comes to streamed videoplay the required resources to achieve the same result as in a screenshot are not available to the public and/or would cost a fortune. Nevertheless there are people out there watching these videos with a detectives eye (see past CiG trailers which have been dissected by attentive people).
As for the FPS counter, we know about 60 FPS in anything but the PU. No need about capturing old news. I d like to see proof of "excellent performance in the PU when other players are present". Thats all

I think it was very good of CIG to film the documentary of them failing to make the SQ42 demo. It turned out quite good considering. It was as if they knew they were going to fail. But that can't be right. Can it?
