So Seeing all these posts on paid / unpaid content etc and it made me think when / if the next big update was paid would i buy it straight away or wait for the issues to be ironed out.
Personally i only really play now when updates roll out to see whats changed and see if anything new will keep me hooked. I'll bimble around for a bit make some money get bored and come back next update.
However i did get quiet excited hunting for the Thargoid bases etc until one after another they where bugged and i came to the conclusion that we where just waiting for content to be add / fixed and that nothing we actually did seemed to make any difference. My biggest let down was the timed beacon never seen so many CMDR's in one play and also the disappointment when nothing really happened. (really think they missed a trick with that one)
I might be alone but the pace at which this Thargoid story has and is still unfolding is painfully slow. and full of holes, why are we only now collecting tissue samples when we have had crashed Thargoid ships on planets for months, we could have done all this while they finished what they where doing.
It's a shame when you tell your friend about the game and you say it's a Great game but......
i'm not saying this game should be easy and don't really have a problem with the grind of some tasks etc but i definitely think i would think twice before dropping any more money on expansions until i knew there was something solid to keep me hooked.
i sometimes wonder if some of the content is added because they can (engineers) (CQC) (Powerplay) (even planetry landing is cool but most the time completely usless (esp since the beige planet problem popped up) once you've seen one big brown blob you feel like you've seen them all .
i also wonder about the reasons to keep playing when we have been told that next year there are going to be a range of improvements to the core game etc. make me wonder if it's worth keep playing now or wait until they have finished (thing about all those people grinding engineer mats to only have them removed as a requirement a few months later.
this isn't a rant or an attack of the developers as a whole the game is fantastic i just find it frustrating esp as i don't have the time to grind ranks etc as a semi casual player this are simply my observations and opinions.
and trying to get Friends into this is difficult (trying to explain why i was to find out that the ruins where bugged and that i had wasted days trying to help out with the effort to find out it was pretty much pointless)
anyway your thoughts???

I will worry about Elite 3 when the time comes and that sure aint now. No point in putting out the Christmas tree anytime soon. lol
