It fit the context for usage based on the topic it was being used in. Is there a point to this?
What is the biggest funkiller for you?
- Thread starter Gleitfrosch
- Start date
By any definition the description fits. In the context of the game I can't agree with Camus's conclusion. War Games is more apt. Why should you imagine Sisyphus happy when the only way to win is not to play? Delete Dangerous and you, too can beat the game.
The usual forum nonsense of trying to appear to be the smartest nerd in the room.
The least fun thing for me is getting new people into the game and having them burn out from the amount of work needed to get a ship that you can start to have fun in.
Odyssey has at least taken some steps in the right direction with the lucky suits and guns, available at up to level 3, and no unlocks required for basic grade upgrades, meaning your average joe beginner, even if they've got a long way to go to being able to fully customise their gear to their exact specifications, can fairly easily obtain... yanno, good enough gear to tag along and still feel useful, whereas the base game... while a lot of us have been telling people not to feel like they have to G5 everything unless they really want to PvP, that G3 is good enough, there's still a grindwall to even begin engineering and until you've done a bunch of unlock quests even getting that G3 is out of reach.
Tech brokers let you get some decent modules without as much mat grind but they're still a grind in and of themselves.
It's really hard to get a buddy started in the game when they have that much of a progression cliff facing them right from the outset. Having Odyssey's rare drops of pre-engineered modules popping up in stores up to G3 would be pretty cool. Sure, some of them would be useless to someone with the actual engineers unlocked but to a new starter they'd be pretty cool and give them a chance to see what engineered kit is like.

Perhaps it was just the desire to have ones words understood.
I like this. Yes!
There's two types of ship, the diverse kind, and the murder kind crammed with reinforcements that will actually survive PvP. They needed to fix balance years ago, but fdev actively support gankers, instead. People who don't have cargo space to even try and steal, they just rack up as high a bounty as they can. Because bored.
Too many limpet modules, fragile limpets, massive cargo of just limpets, limpets not saving per ship...

If people were choosing between extra functionality and empty space, and weren't at a MASSIVE disadvantage in combat, the game would be a lot fairer.
So I've been trying not to burn myself out in Odyssey and taking it slow. One thing I have noticed is that the goods and data costs/grind is much worse than assets. Goods and data can't be traded, are usually in locked containers, or from data ports with a mandatory wait time to nab them, and are much more limited in the amount you can carry at one time.
They are also just as numerous in upgrades and mod recipes. And not being able to trade them compounds how diluted the drops are with useless items and data. It all feels designed by an experienced player retention person working on mobile games.
It's really telling to me that the most developed areas in Odyssey seem to be the liverey section and the progression via upgrades/engineers.

At first I was not happy about the grind for engineers, but tbh once I got started, asked some questions and figured it out, its really not that bad.
Except for the fact that engineers are not unlocking for me once I have met their requirements... oh and what is so hard about being clear about those requirements? And, Or, Total, Each, some words that can be used in a description to make things clear. How is that so difficult?

EDO will release on Tablet soon, mark my words!
I don't know why but somehow would be fun seeing ED running on an iPad after they killed off Mac support years ago with Horizon "because not doable"
when you are JUST about to finish up an obejctive and the game decides to spawn in a drop of 10+ enemies on you... then decides F you in particular and drops ANOTHER 10 on you moments later.
I've noticed this game LOVES to do that both on the ground and in space. My first week playing I was soooooo happy I'd won in a combat zone in my wittle viper. The faction I helped out left and I was about to jump to the station to claim my creds.... then the game spawned like 20 spec ops ships that all targeted and shot at me all at once. I never had a chance.
THAT ish. That is a funkiller.

Being completely honest: I'd love for them to make a mobile game where I can manage a faction. Pay 99 cents and you get a faction placed on some random planet outside of the bubble. Basic slider interface setup a budget, training, research, etc. Have relationships between factions. Setup trade routes, alliances, etc.
I need to build this new research facility, but it's taking my miners forever. Pilot's Fed representative: We will create a community goal for you. Megaship ferries jumping from Sol all the way out to this godforsaken system every 5 minutes for 1 week. We'll handle paying the commanders and will provide a paint job. All for the low price of 2500 arx.
That exploitative mobile mechanic creates content for people playing the spaceship game. There's quite a bit of cross play that could occur. I'd be back to playing the game daily again because I'd have a reason to care about a faction. The galaxy would still feel empty even if they were able to sell 7.5 billion copies and limit planets to 25 starter settlements.
Space Faction Tycoon. Take my money.
Many small things, but biggest one out of them all is idle sitting: SC travel and FSD jumping. Few things could help it great deal, like either make it more involved, so you don't have to only mash one button and watch timers with minimal corrections of course, something to do during travel and it having at least minimal hazard and management gameplay. Or finally give us full autopilot, so ship could jump/fly on it's own to set destination, so we could do some other stuff while it arrives. Just sitting there and pushing one button every so often is really not how you design a game...
I don't think so, cuz in that case the guy would have explained rather than condescended.
Oof or how about the transfer time! Talk about idle sitting lol. This is a great one.
Typically folks with that desire don't use the least likely usage of the most obscure word. I'm calling you a liar
That's OK.Typically folks with that desire don't use the least likely usage of the most obscure word. I'm calling you a liar
Ok, that guy won the round fair and square.
