Wait, mild disappointment is an option? I thought we were all supposed to be crying bitter tears of rage. I'll do it your way, seems less exhausting.
What a surprise. The next step in the mystery is a community goal.

They could have Earth be attacked directly right now and I wouldn't care because I am too burnt out by all this backburner hype stall tactics. So now I guess I should go deliver this data that I am probably going to need for engineering later? Because Fdev is just ambitious and foolish enough to do something like alien engineering. So no thanks I will be holding on to all this rare data in case Fdev decides to make us start farming Thargoids for the new PVP meta.
Ha - it's definitely less exhausting.
Hatred is like drinking poison and waiting for the other guy to drop dead
I don't HAVE any data to hand in because of FDev's rubbish RNG system. There is NO way to guarantee a hyperdiction.
Commanders have jumped thousands of times across Pleiades without incident.
Commanders literally waited 8 hours at one of the barnacles without incident.
They are basing an entire CG (which let's face it, are boring af as it is and pretty much the laziest way to introduce 'content) on RNG! They are excluding a hell of a lot of Commanders.
So they decide to give players a chance at doing story related stuff and people complain.
It's like people don't understand they are never going to get a single player story game mode ala Minecraft story mode. They probably upped the chance of alien encounters and are giving players a chance to experience the event before the story progresses.

Well, I won't fault anyone for wanting more. I just think that what we did get was neat, for Frontier. Maybe tomorrow will be the livestream you all wished for today?
Yeeeep.
Blimey what were they thinking a CG with RNG...... Lets just go the whole hog and RNG whether or not we actually get to fly in the ships we own. On the roll of a dice - 1, 2 or 3 you fly your ship, on a 4, 5, 6 your ship explodes.
Yea avoid the forums. Ignore the comments. God forbid he gets some honest to god feedback. No No let's just coddle them and tell them what a great job they are doing. And whisper sweet lies into their ears.
The beatings will continue until morale improves...
It's possible the chances are higher for this event. It's possible that's not the case. But hell, how many Commanders were included in any previous reveals? I'll bet less than one.
There is no other way to describe this than a fail. People have been whining and complaining for months now about the shallowness, repetitiveness, grindy, RNG nature of the game. What do they give us at their E3 livestream event ? EVERY. SINGLE. THING. people have been complaining about ! It's unbelievable ? do they want to lose all their players ?? Because that's how you lose all your players.
Well, FD could have just posted the instructions for the CG in the forums, or with a message in game (the way it should!), instead of ambiguously suggesting that something will be announced in the livetreams. But they let us believe that this was going to be a special event (it is not, just another CG), and that we will get news (we didn't). They hyped everyone, and this is what happens when you let the hype fall. They could have made it clear since the beginning; that the announcement will be tomorrow. And even if they had, I still don't see why making a livestream for the CG was a better idea than just a normal in-game or forum announcement. Some people watched for 50 minutes some random guys play, along with amateur streamer problems, waiting for something to happen. This is a misuse of the term E3, and we fell for it.
What makes you think they'll be any more fun than the regular ones?
Honestly, I don't think anyone was expecting massive story. Not sure what anyone was expecting perhaps... But not a "Go to this system and scan stuff" CG was probably not high up on people's expectations. I'll wait patiently for tomorrow and see where it goes from there. I guess I felt the livestream was a bit like the "mile wide, inch deep" feeling that ED sometimes gets accused of.
Fly safe o7
I've tried to participate in all the in-game events so far, and this one is exactly as participatory at the others.
You could even make the argument that, insanely dull though it was, if the audio balance was such we could all hear the beacon and maybe do something about it, then it wouldn't have been quite so awful.
But we sat there, watching someone on headphones listen to something we couldn't hear so that his friends in ship with decals and skins we can't purchase went somewhere we couldn't transcribe. Yay.

Yeah I have to admit, for all the fap about it, emails etc it was pretty disappointing.
Wait... people expected to hear what was coming in 2.4 in tonight's Livestream? Really?
Frontier were never going to reveal something about 2.4 before E3. The best way to make an impact about an upcoming update is to reveal the news for the first time at a big event like E3.
Personally, I thought tonight's stream was a fun idea, to get people involved in the reveal if they want to through an existing game mechanic. But maybe I'm biased as I already had wake scans from being hyperdicted earlier this year so I was able to contribute immediately. The reward is not the money one gets from the CG, the reward is Palin's research and what it can do for us... in 2.4 probably.
Oh well...
