I'm not assuming there are hardpoints available in the game this is a fact. I'm not assuming that they are entirely optional this to is a fact. The only assumption going on in this conversation is that you assume you are right. you are not. Your argument is more tenuous than a landable atmosphere
Why does Fdev seem to put the fewest resources possible into their most successful and lets not remind them "backed" game by the community..
- Thread starter VagueTK
- Start date
You do know they've announced a patch for many of the issues that people are experiencing. I just don't get the angst. It's frustrating I accept, but the amount of hyperbole like this post is just ridiculous.
If a few bugs get you that upset, go and have a look at LOTRO at the moment. Most of the game servers have been down for days now and nobody can play due to ongoing issues.
People need to get a grip. It's a computer game, treat it as one instead of acting like its life or death for god's sake.
You've lost me, right about what? You are suggesting the trailer to Odyssey showed more than FPS with guns?
Didn't even show a FPS as nobody was shooting.
Its an apetizer... more info will come, wait it. My imagination said far more comes than a simple FPS. I hope im right.
Yahtzee
I do. I learned reading for comprehension 50 some years ago. I have yet to see any results, however, other than announcements about announcements about coming announcements about announcements.
You can announce that you're working on the cure for cancer all you want, but I'm one of those old-fashioned twits who'd rather see actual results. So far, all I've seen from the last three, THREE, FC "patches" is taking a bad situation and making it even worse. But hey, at least they have "100+" developers working on code that we don't even know when will actually drop.
"Priorities". I'm sure you've heard of them, since you're in the business of calling other people ignorant.
I have no idea what "LOTRO" is, nor do I particularly want to know since that's not the game I'm talking about. Much like I don't much care to be told that my A/C not working is not really that important since there are people starving in Africa.
I'm talking about ED. Could we maybe, perhaps, stick to that subject in an ED forum?
I didn't back anything. I bought a finished product - or so I thought. Then they crapped over me with engineers.

There are three reasons I believe that.
1) The trailer showed guns.
2) The vast majority of FPS games these days are combat orientated.
3) Every single thing Frontier have done to this game has had a huge bias towards combat. There are so few non combat interactions. The new guardian sites (can't visit them without having to get into combat). The beacons (need guns to activate them). The Thargoids there are no meaningful non combat interactions you can have with them, despite asking the dev team before their introduction and them saying there "should" be things to do that don't involve combat.
I don't want it to be at all, but the fact that this is how the game has been presented to us over however many years makes me think it. And if you think we're going to be getting meaningful non combat interactions, then prepared to be disappointed. And if you think we're going to actually get caves, prepare to be very disappointed
Yes and no. To the extent that planetary landing was meaningfully possible in FFE it was basically all there by Horizons, and then quite a bit more. I'm counting most of what could be done with planetary landings in the "ridiculously ambitious" box.
(Yes, you could land on atmospheric planets in FFE, but this was achieved by making it no different to landing on a non-atmospheric planet except with a different heightmap colour, a requirement to fit atmospheric shielding, and a blue skybox. I guess unless you pick certain nebulae to land on we won't get "blue skybox" until Odyssey)

We are talking about the same game right? ED mining simulator? don't get me wrong I do lots of combat in the game, it's almost all I do with bgs and such, but I would hardly say there's a huge bias towards it. Have you seen the pay differential between combat and literally anything else in game?There are three reasons I believe that.

Space Worms?
Recent credit increases in certain professions do not change the design of the game over it's life cycle.
Caves are usually created by volcanic and seismic activity though i believe. In all honesty they should already exist in what we have now
The only thing requires serious money is FC. You can enjoy the game in a 300k cobra, if you want. Its up to you
Nobody sentenced to get any hugh ship. OFC with money opportunities everywhere. In 2014 geting an ASP was months for a casual player. Now konda within 3 days. Money not everything. I prefer fun. If i get extra money thats a bonus.Yes, it's a computer game. Treat it as one.
I can only speak of its life cycle on ps4 and its been mine for money as far back as 2017.
It's quite easy to be right if you exclude those items which would make you wrong.
