Why no on Foot AX-Conflict Zones? :(

Was really looking forward to this. So many were talking about it.

We had Thargoid Combat for Years now. They do some new things now yes but fighting them is still the same thing as before.
Attack run, kill heart, run and repair till shield is down. Repeat till its dead.

I hoped all that painful engineering of on foot equipment would pay now and i really hope we get on Foot Goids Soon .

Please?

Yet.

All out war is here, now. Who knows what updates 15 and 16 will bring. If I was Frontier I would save on-foot Thargoid combat for those future updates. That said, I remain undecided on whether this is actually on the current roadmap, Frontier have never confirmed or denied that it's coming.

I agree. Now we have just fancier thargoid CZ but nothing really new. No ships, no weapons, no on-foot missions. I kind of disappointed. I had big expectations and that's my problem.

So, you will wait until all disappointed players from update 14 that had big expectations leave the game and then you will release update 15?

Its only day 1...
Servers were not stable and the servers were hours late...
Having them not release all assets into the live client zero hour also means those servers don't smeg up all the new content and being crap...
With cobra errors as you are about to kill the last thargoid of the day its not worth it...

This is just the beginning of the patch, they never use all content at day 1 - the story will progress, only 1 maelstrom arrived so far.

It might still be another patch or 2 until ground AX, though.

I think many of us are hoping for that, but to do it right, it will take a bit of time.

Hopefully they are working on it at the moment and in the next or the one after updates we will see it.

There could be a reason why we are not getting ships, because they are all working on assets for the on-foot stuff.

But again, I could be wrong.

I'm not going to rise to that. What I would say is that one thing I wouldn't do is, if I was planning on having on-foot Thargoid combat being something that wasn't immediately unveiled the moment U14 dropped, then I wouldn't include it in the U14 patch because otherwise people would scrape the game files and then immediately spoil the surprise for everyone else. So unveiling that feature in a subsequent update would seem like a sensible move.

Yeah, and I even think it even holds up on a narrative point of view: they've just arrived, they're dominating, they don't need to leave the comfort of their cockpits for now, but once/if the balance changes of side they would need to get out and get more physical should their equipments end not secure anymore

Fronier promised something else for update 14. Change of the galaxy we know it and new gameplay. it is just a narrative as the previous update.
