I wish they would show some of this in action, perhaps using bot clients so people can get an idea of how things will work, what the current capacity is, how they plan to improve it and so on.
I've seen a couple other games demo their engines in this manner and it was quite interesting to see how they were going about it, namely Camelot Unchained and Dual Universe for anyone that is interested.
Can't you just record it on Twitch or YouTube and post it here?

For those not wanting to read:
" At some point, you know, we may even – that may allow us to have 2,000 people in the same area or whatever but what if there was maybe 10,000."
So what they are saying is starting at 2000 with the network updates and maybe as many as 10000. I don't know about you but both those numbers are "thousands of players". Unless my maths are suddenly different from the rest of the Earth.

Not sure about Twitch (never really used it, don't really even watch Twtich stuff for the most part).
What do people typically use to record gameplay? Never had a need to do it.
Both those numbers are completely meaningless, unless GIC invent a new speed of light, and refactor throughput.
He can but that is not going to look&feel as in his "tales".....same happened to that guy who claim that he had 40+Fps in PU then later on when he recorded his awesome game play we all saw 30 frames at max...at least my kudos to that guy as he admit his mistake at the end.....
All of which are quite a lot different than say "Not going to happen" "Won't happen".
Well yeah "thousands of players" in same instance???And that sounds totally LEGIT to you right?

Its a RECORDING, so its going to look exactly how it occurs.
As for how it feels, of course not, its going to "feel" different for everyone, especially if one is only viewing a recording.

The fact that you actually believe CIG's claims of getting "thousands of players" on the same server instance is highly amusing... hilariously so, even.
I mean, just *how* are CIG going to be able to handle all of those player models, each one detailed with thousands upon thousands of polygons, to meet up with Chris Roberts' exacting standards and unwillingness to compromise on his idea of "fidelity"?
Don't you realize the sheer impossibility of what Erin is proposing in that video?
Even funnier is that whenever you get challenged by someone to provide even a shred of proof of these "awesome" adventures that you're having in Star Citizen, you suddenly very reluctant to cough any up, offering up all manner of weak excuses as to why you can't, or just ignoring the request altogether.
I posted the developers exact words. 2000 players is still thousands of players.

You do know that you can reduce polygon count depending on what is in your line of sight, how far you are from said object etc. This is no new tech and has been used for decades with polygon based objects.
How am I being "reluctant". I asked for a tool to do so and will be perfectly happy to do so. What part of "
What do people typically use to record gameplay? Never had a need to do it." didn't you understand?
I believe that's not his point. His point is that the number is too high to be believable, correct me if I'm wrong.

Or in other words, "I'm trying my damnedest to NOT provide you with any video evidence of my "awesome adventures", because if you *do* see it, all you'll "experience" are the same boring, un-engaging play sessions that WTFOsaurus puts himself through on a daily basis.... And even HE hates doing it, despite being paid for it!"
I posted the developers exact words. "Hundreds of thousands of people maybe in one instance" Erin Roberts said it. (There's that maybe again) Do you believe him?
I don't.

Funny that. Chris Roberts doesn't seem to believe in "reduced polygon counts depending on what is in your line of sight", judging by almost every single asset in the game having layers, upon layers, upon layers of graphical detail even when you can't directly see those features in the first place.
Also, do a Google search for "livestreaming programmes" and you'll find them easily enough.
I don't know why that is such an issue.
[Edit]: Also, it has to be said, but Merlin's posts on here kinda read like this excellent satirical post from The_Titanic (yet again) on SA.

No. How about, you prove it.
You see, it's the same old thing: everyone who's made a name for themselves showing this game off live or on recorded video has demonstrated how terminally dull, broken, and lacking in game mechanics and -mechanisms it is. Then you come here and try to regale us with your little stories, discussing ships as if there was a flight model and they had any stats that actually mattered in the long run. All contrary to the voluminous evidence provided by the ones who actually bother to show off their play sessions.
You, in spite of having been asked on numerous occasions, don't want to do that for some reason. So why should we believe what you say if you don't want to or (far more likely) can't actually prove it?
The question you were asked to answer but chose to skip over was: does that sounds totally normal to you?
…and that only works when they're far away. So the question remains: how are they going to handle all those player models with their thousands (actually, tens or hundreds of thousands if Chris' early ramblings are to be believed) all meet up? Or are they going to put density limits on space so that you can only have a given number of people within a distance of each other, to ensure you never actually see those polygons? [haha]

Good question. I have no idea what he's getting at, either.
1) I've never actually said "they were not happening". I basically said "that's not what they're doing"

2) I did. And it's not.
I have discussed time and time again how and why I don't think it will happen. You all remember my #justanotherlevel banter with Ben Parry. That still stands. Why btw explains why they now have moons instead of planets coming. As long as they can put them in the same level/scene like they would a planet, that would work. And the seamless space<->planet is not about levels, it's about seeing a planet/moon sphere, flying straight into it, then entering - seamlessly. Just like Battlescape Infinity and similar games.
3) I didn't.
It was canceled. Then Chris himself stated that "people were already playing it". Then they brought it back because it was the only tangible progress in 2016. I wrote a whole blog about it.
And it's an abysmal failure
Level of Detail. Ever hear of it? Heck, its even been shown a number of time for the White and Grey boxing.
^This^
But I guess for him anything that comes out from Roberts mouth sounds the same as gospels to the true christians.......
