Update 4.0? what will it be?

How about something like ' We are fully committed to introducing new things for 2019, and we expect to be able to announce this ******** (Fill in date).
So they should announce a date when they are going to announce something? And then the day comes and they can not announce anything due to delays (or because they forgot :D ). What will you do then?

That is literally what they have said. Not sure what parallel universe you live in where they said 'blah blah palm off'...

Not saying they couldn't communicate better, but at least try to keep some accuracy.
 
Ok, i get it, suddenly FD are the best communicators in the world. They have palmed us off with a 'We will announce something........ Blah Blah Blah'!

How about something like ' We are fully committed to introducing new things for 2019, and we expect to be able to announce this ******** (Fill in date). Sounds so much better than the Blah Blah Blah palm off!

Not sure how you fanbois can defend FD communication ability or have i been reading an FD forum in a parallel universe!

And now the insults start. Impatience leads to frustration which leads very quickly to insults.

Look at this;

"WE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT NEWS THINGS WHEN WE ARE READY TO TALK ABOUT THEM"

That is a clear statement of intent and is able to be understood by anyone who understands english. If there has been no further communication, then simple logic brings the conclusion that they are "not ready to talk about them".

Is there any other misunderstanding I can help to clear up?

Do you honestly think being called a fanboi is insulting? Now who needs glasses!

Do you read these forums? "fanboi" is a derogatory term here, and is used is such a manner in your post. So, yes I think it was meant as an insult. Your communication may need clarification, but that is the intent that came across.

Anything else?

Everyone, calm down, please ;)

We are in february, and we don't even have the slightest clue what the plans for the future of ED are.

Of course, ice-planets and carriers, but there should be more, even now. And about that, they should be ready to talk about, even if the release is planned in may or june or later.

Some pics would be great for the beginning, or a small teaser. But....nothing.
 
If people are feeling impatient it might be worth reviewing some of the recent lunchtime livestreams on twitch (just the ED ones :) ). Will is consistent in saying they have plans for 2019, they're not ready to share them yet, but are excited at the idea of sharing them:

Employees of Frontier are always excited, presumably it's in the job description.

I'd suggest their level of excitement is immaterial, what counts is confirmed content and that won't come for months.

Its almost as if being positive and upbeat is considered desirable in public facing roles.

No i don't read the forums at all :rolleyes: no idea what the green squares are by my forum name!

Oxford English Dictionary: I quote: Fanboi - A male fan, especially one who is obsessive about comics, music, movies or science fiction. (In this case Elite: Dangerous Game). Errr nothing about derogatory or inflammatory meaning.

Don't jump to conclusions that only your mind can see!
 
Hello everyone.

If you look inside this disused lavatory marked with 'Beware of the Leopard' you will find that:

  • The paid DLC will not launch before June.

  • Historically FDev have started their hype cycle 4 months approx before major DLC launches.

Conclusion: The very earliest you'll hear anything is the end of Feb. Most likely later than that.

This then?
WHAT??? i'll have some of what you are sniffing, drinking, injecting, inhaling, smoking (Delete as necessary).
 
I'd like a Cat bobblehead in Version 4.0.
Something with a sinister smile, like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. Oh and he has to be a tabby, ginger tom, or Bengal
 
This then?

OMG, you really are trying to pick a forum fight aren't you? If you can't see the humour in that post I give up? Plus i will not rise to your vain attempts to enter into a slanging match were some real derogatory terms are banded around, until the thread is locked, or one or both of us are sent to the nearest detention centre with no fuel scoop to get back.

Come on Whitehair, i also see from the green squares by your forum name you are also not new to this forum. So see my post for what it was, not what you think it is!

To reiterate my post without humour, sarcasm, insults etc etc. I think FD are atrocious at communicating with us the players, you don't I get that. I also think that that statement is a palm off, you don't, I get that also. Lets leave it there Cmdr. We are all entitled to our opinions and as long as we keep within forum rules we can say these opinions on this forum.

Nuff said?

The cat bobblehead should be linked to eye or head tracking, when you look at it the cat looks away, when you look away something falls off the console.
