The date should be moved.
And as it should be already apparent as the date has been announced and it has been decided to keep to the date announced, it is not going to be moved... now can we finally put this to bed???
Yes we understand and can sympathise with your frustration and no doubt disappointment at missing the event, but can we please also stop with the blaming of PC users, blaming of FDev etc for the situation...
Blaming FDev for the bugs, sure but it is not an unexpected thing in the development of games in this day and age for non AAA studios is it... And as I said before in an earlier post, it is not like us PC players have a choice as to the timing of when FDev release patches... That coupled with the vetting process that Microsoft apparently do to all software related to the XBox platform... I would further simply like to add that I have read the enitre thread over the last few days and I have not seen once where anyone has slagged of or otherwise denigrated XBox players, they have simply responded to YOUR own messages, and YOUR OWN posting style, myself included...
It is yourself that first mentioned PC MASTER RACE in this thread as if we PC players feel we must be in a league above other players which in reality is garbage... we are ALL just players of this wonderful (and at times frustrating) game... we are all fans of Elite...
So I ask you GuyWired, can we please put this to bed, can you please accept that the situation, although not what you want, is what it is and that FDev are doing all they can to get a patch out to fix the XBox issues as soon as they possibly can? Can you at least show some patience in this, many of us backers of the game, have had to deal with many bugs, sometimes show stoppers, sometimes just frustrations etc, we have had our saved games wiped multiple times during the lead up to release etc... and we took it as part of the process to get the game released...
The game is in a constant state of ongoing development and it is heartening to see you at least acknowledged that FDev did not intend to release an update that broke play-ability for anyone...
Can someone pass the salt please, I need some on my chips
