Having just watched the Lavecon teaser video for upcoming content I would like to go on record as saying I liked what I saw.
 
You know.someone from Aislings Angels has probably already reversed engineered this, right? :D

Really?

I'm partly scared but also strangely intrigued.

*clears throat, dons Imperial outfit*

Com-mander there's no need to feel down
I said, Com-mander, pick yourself off the ground
I said, Com-mander, You're in a new town
There's no need to be un-pledged now

Com-mander, i'm your new NCO
I said, young man let's get ready to go
It's slavery, but its Imperial you know
Many ways to fort-if-y

It's great to be in the Empire today!
It's great to be in the Empire today
We've got everything that You need to enjoy
You can hang out with all the Knaves Serfs and Lo-rds

It's great to be in the Empire today!
It's great to be in the Empire today
You can get your ship clean, You can exploit systems near
You can bask where-ever You feel

Young man are You listening to me?
I said, young man, where do You want to be?
I said, young man, here on Kamadhenu?
But You've got to know this one thing

Grom can't do it -by himself
And he's second, to ALD herself
So we need You in the Empire today
I'm sure we can help You this way

It's great to be in the Empire today!
It's great to be in the Empire today
We've got everything that You need to enjoy
You can hang out with all the Knaves Serfs and Lo-rds

It's great to be in the Empire today!

Your sir deserve some rep.
 
Kinect Star Wars always brings a smile to my face.

We need an ED version of this though for ALD, Patty and Imperial fanciers:

As someone who has been a PC gamer and avoided consoles for all of his life, for bringing this to my attention;

I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually want to gouge my eyes out like the dude in Lucifer did.
 
With the discussion of the video today, it appears nothing is changing any time soon.

Just another grenade for effect.

Nice to know that the 'majority play in Open'....but with any changes being ruled out for the short and medium turn...it now becomes 'Someday™'. How many are willing to listen to this siren song after the final release of Chapter 4 this year, without any changes to PP, PVP, or Open/Solo influences?

Exactly this.

So if the majority are in open already, we don't need open only content to force the minority of people in Solo and Groups to join open.
Which means the only reason to keep bringing it up, is for giggles and watch the PvP crowd work themselves into a frenzy chasing something that's not going to happen.

It's like when I pretend to throw a ball and watch my 4 dogs go mental looking for a ball.

As hilarious as pooch baiting can be, I know as I have a couple. This whole Grenadegate thing with Sandro feels more like kicking puppies.
I watch PPOO get further away as we wait :D

Perhaps PvP stands for PoochvPooch and I had it wrong all of this time lol.

Having learned that "majority play in Open, by a significant margin," I have to wonder how different my Open experience would be if Frontier had gone client-server, rather than peer-to-peer, for their network model. Are the three players I might see at a proverbial "watering hole," and almost no players outside those areas, a function of player density at the times I can play, or a function of instance matchmaking?

I entirely agree, the last few weeks of discussion has left a sour taste. I am in favour of giving some meaningful reason to PvP but one now has to wonder why the proposal was raised for discussion in the first place.

I think it is all about instancing (response time is the critical limiter and regardless of how big your pipe is, if ping times are to high, the game cannot function properly)...I'll have to see what happens at a CG someday.

So, has anything came out of the PP discussion yet? My bet is that FD won't be able to decide for the Q2 release as they seem pretty quiet on the topic.

The only thing is Frontier trying to wiggle out of it again, like last time.

They threw the idea into the open knowing full well what would happen, and now we get told "it just an investigation, nothing is planned".

I'm starting to think it's some sort of office game they have, give the beehive a kick (upset the forums by saying they will mess with Power Play) and count how many angry little worker bees come out to sting them.
Whoever gets the right bet, wins the office pool and gets a bottle of wine.
 
Do we need to explain that BGS and PP is PVP again? I mean really?

Would it help in the form of a wall of text?

Do we need to explain there isn't a "main mode" and show you Michael Brookes quote that all modes are equal? I mean really?

Would it help if I used smaller words to explain PvP'ers are not the majority despite you constantly implying it?

I just don't think you can be helped, it's a shame.. It's a real shame.

Are you still banging on about all modes being Equal? STILL? That ship sailed long ago, the moments some modes DIDN'T get features available to other modes.

Brookes, you are quoting a guy who dumped the game to go play with Dinos?

And finally..... You still clearly don't understand what PVP is.
