Engineers Time to vote... Are you still In or Out?

[Susanna]

1. You Love the 2.1 patch upgrades!
2. You see that there are issues that need fixing and will continue playing if addressed.
3. Game Over for you.

I'm sure I could add further options but I want to keep it simple.

Multiple choice added as life is never simple... It's always grey. You can then tick two options if you feel somewhere in between.

 

[Crimson Kaim]

Why is this multiple choice?

And for me it is 2. I don't see the point in playing at the moment but will come back if things get addressed. However, these things are not only 2.1 related. Especially the netcoding with the instancing failures is a huge "NOPE!" for Elite.

Other than that, the engineers now require module and material storage as well as player trading.

If these main problems are fixed I might give it a go again

After that FD should look at their general design again as for example credit income can only be achieved by active ways rather than passive ways so it is only a question of "Either X or Y" rather than "Doing X while doing Y as well".

 

[Derath]

I need an option "Loving 2.1 but hating shipping rares to engineers that don't even tier 5 something" also known as hate needless busywork.

 

[Alda]

@Susanna I can feel with you this Game is broken.
I'm not a combat pilot i'm trading and exploring in this Game.
Every 2times i got interdicted by higher combat rank as me mostly Elite Condas or Elite FDL with moded Weapons and the Repaircost are higher as my Profit.
Losts Ships 2 Anacondas and 1 Python.
Greetings ALDA

Being in the development industry I'm well aware of teething issues after every major update, so I am patient that these changes/bugs will be rolled out in due course.
I'm also aware that things we, as a company, think are a good idea but turn out to be a crowd hater and this happens across the industry, so I will be patient that they will be adjusted to bring them in line with customer expectations.
Engineers hasn't impacted my game in the slightest (I will get the mats I need as I play the game, I'm not in a rush) and the AI is tougher, but that's a good thing and I enjoy a challenge. Combat is fun now.

So, until the game is utterly unplayable, I will continue to play it.

Unfortunately for me I'm out for a while
I didn't want to be, but since the update to 2.1 I have lost almost all the in game music.
I had it working for a while in Solo the other night, but several static clicks and audio drop outs later, it went AWOL again.
After reading the patch notes again it seems I have other new audio not working too.
I've made a bug report about it, but got no fix, and no word of if it's being looked into. And no suprise that it's now buried deep within pages and pages of bug reports.

I love the game, but the audio bugs give me no motivation to play in a virtually silent game.
Was looking forward to going exploring for the first time, but I guess I'll just have to wait and hope for a new patch where and IF they fix the audio issues for some players

 

[Weps]

Could you please explain option 2 "See that there are serious issues and will continue playing if addressed."

Does this mean:

I acknowledge the issues, and I refuse to play until they are fixed, but will happily return to the game when this is the case

or

I acknowledge the issues, but I'm biting the bullet and playing atm regardless, hoping for them to be solved soon?

 

[JonnyC0mbat]

I'm loving it more since 2.1. There are a fair few annoying bugs, but on the whole the good outweighs the bad. I love the new AI, absolutely love it. Separates the Wheat from the Chaff.

 

[Shadowdancer]

Why is this multiple choice?

I selected all three. It's all about possibilities.

It's the middle ground, which is very grey, multiple choice so that you can indicate which side of the line you fall. I'm 2. & 3. For this reason. I'd like to continue playing but as is, it's unplayable.

 

[BACKER #-4112]

Each time there is a major update, a part of me is excited (for the new features) and a part of me cringes (the bugs and the period of time it takes to iron them out).
With every update it's the same story, a part of the playerbase is yay, a part is nay. Give it a few minor updates and it comes good again.
I'm not going to ragequit in the meantime, I will ride it out. I will just fly my A-Rated Python like the hull was made of eggshells and try not to bump into a stock Cobra...

 

[L.S Algir]

So far I am out because when the patch came I already was on a lost of interest ( logic after 1 year without interruption)
I was impatient for the patch but after a lot of forum reading and some test ingame by myself I just feel that there is a huge potential still needing some important fixes ( as storage , mission bugs ) . So I 'll return for sure , but meanwhile I got myself involved in playing and finishing other games I own, so it's quite of a pilot vacancy for me .

So I chose answer 2 , even if I know that's I am more in a "I'll be back for sure , just I don'treally know when " (I think it will be this summer or when 2.2 is out)

 

[[VR] Mad Mike]

overall love the update, however that does not mean i think a few things need tweaking (most of which would be solved by having the option of hiring npc hired guns or herding up with npc tradeships)

Other than that My main concern is with how we collect the materials, it just seems a little clunky and gamey to me. I would much rather salvaging from a wreck itsself, but it is not going to stop me playing

 

[LameoveR]

I still play the game and i like it much more than before 2.1, but! there is issues finding "very common" materials/data, i hope they'll balance it soon.

 

[Wasp0]

I am voting OUT,



But not for your Poll Susanna, its for a different vote for us in the UK on 23rd June!

For ED.................................. i am IN and it would take a lot more for me to stop playing. 2.1 has quite a few issue's, and your poll does not have that option!

 

[Duncan McMannus]

As mentioned, I'm very happy for AI amplification.
Before 2.1 the game was boring and I was concerned exclusively with the presence of human pilots on the radar. Now the game is much more immersive!
But It would be necessary to fix some problems, because in Hres Anaconda and Imperial Clipper can develop the same turn ratio of an A-rated Fer de Lance (without disabling flight assist).

 

[metatheurgist]

Well, if you're going to let people tick multiple boxes, the options should have been: Love it, Hate it, Still Playing, Game Over. Then people could pick the combination that works for them

 

[Marra Morgan]

Yeah it's fine

 

[Eera]

Serious Issue, need a rework on the module upgrade RNG and material search.

 

[Assailer]

FD should reset all combat ranks, because quite frankly the 'easy mode' ranks are not representing today's situation.
