Hi,
I would call me a addict Elite player, which is playing this game any day if possible. Manage by trading the money I need to buy decent ships, then came into PvP (with Wings 1.2) and enjoed this PvP battles with maxed out 30 players in one instance - and yes it is possible (google "elite bbfa contrail").
With Powerplay 1.3 of course the benchmark was set really high ("biggest content update ever". Of course realisticly I imagine that they will be some stabiity issues and some surpricing exploids, which are normal and Frontier will close asap. These was very intense days for Frontier and for the players as well. Many unexpected exploids or strange behaviours happened and probably release 1.3 was not ready to be go live because of many open issues.
- Instance problems in PvP playing - difficult to bring togeather some friends or foes, max battles zero chance.
- By fixing the Wing-Trading, they nerfed the Wing-Fighting which is a terrible trade-off
- Smuggling pricing issue (9'000 credit per ton) -> exploid was nerfed 2x
- Buy/selling Imperial Slaves in the same station -> exploid was corrected within 12 hours
- RES site spawning
- Players are going more to solo or private groups (because with the powers, you are hostile with other powers)
- Power pledging is going to more grinding (to get the special powers)
- Ranking progressions; I did hundrets of missions without any progression chance (yes, I read the topics in the forum)
Perhaps I don't get the full potential of Powerplay and the interaction of different powers togeather yet. For me it looks just like more grinding to build up your merits with your power. And with grinding, many people are doing this in solo to avoid any player interaction, as they could be now official "hostile".
So I will give FD some time to make the transfer of this game to an even better one.
But today, the first day in the whole game (since months!) I was starting Elite Dangerous and had no idea what to do! This was a really strange feeling...
