It's been almost 20 days since my probation for nothing and since I sent in my request asking for an explanation I've received a total of 0 answers. Thankfully I've been sent 6 emails from RSI about other dumb bullshit so at least there's that. 10 more days to go. Pray for me.

If they do introduce a pet system I hope to god it's not like the normal MMO pet system. God knows I don't care to have my screen bogged down by umpteen thousand pets in a public area. Leave it like the fish in Mass Effect. You can visit your pets in your hangar but not take them with you.

Ah, I see. I've never been big into MMO's so it's just another tedious feature to me. I think the last time I did anything with a "pet" in-game was with WoW back in 2009 where I played up a hunter for all of 6 months before letting my subscription die. I'm not a fan of grind. I think early Aion ruined almost all other MMOs for me.

I think a pet system is only complete if it allows breeding, including cross species breeding with a realistically modeled gene system, including special breeding ships of course.

G0RF posted:TL:DR Now compare that merch to what Harebrained Schemes is offering: $125 gets you a banner, dog tags, military cap, patch, lapel pin, and keychain. $275 gets you a custom "flight jacket" with some patches added... and that's it. No more merch. The artwork for the merch is already done, and it looks like they've already received samples based on what can be seen in the Kickstarter page. Simple, easy to fulfill, and I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time they've done it. Best part? They're clearly making a profit. $75 for a hat, keychain, pin, patch, and banner is a lot of extra cash. Same for $150 for a jacket with some screen-printed logos and some more patches.

Got my refund actioned by CIG Kraiklyn! Pretty solid response time of 1 day after confirmation on my end, according to him should take 5-10 days to process so I guess we'll see after that and if it doesn't, bug them about it more. Either way, will post an update about it if and when it gets here. I think they're feeling a bit flush now, with spergs buying their new 900$ fake dreamboat, so by all means - do keep pestering them about your refunds now, because now is the time and not later, when the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

It's interesting to see the public community behaving like the game developer that starts to believe it's not going to see its money ever again. If this was owned by EA or something, people would rail against it getting cancelled. But its a piece of poo poo

In case anyone is wondering what I wrote (to perhaps write a better refund letter themselves and get a faster response time instead of waiting for days, I dunno, maybe it'll help) here's the 'what reason do you have' part I wrote to them. So if anyone wants to borrow elements from it, or whatever, to still let CIG know they're doing poorly while still getting their money back without being a totally rude person about it, here it is if anyone actually cares:quote:Yes, a full refund of any assets that remain on my account would be what I am after, and the closing of my account afterwards.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Now compare that merch to what Harebrained Schemes is offering: Harebrained Backers --> Delighted, because they'll likely get the stuff they backed by the dates HS set. Harebrained Owners --> Enriched, because they priced their reward tiers smartly and left ample room for margin off merch. Harebrained Employees --> Relieved, because they won't be getting support tickets years later asking about "Where's my drat collector's box?" Yet still, these higher mysteries elude the person with the Marketing and Business degrees. Though to be fair, she's dealing with 2000 trouble tickets a week asking about refund requests, $5 downgrade taxes, "why the hell did you fire JAMES?!", melt foo, "is Derek Smart RIGHT?!", "I placed my mousepad order 5 weeks ago- has it shipped yet?" and related matters. So maybe she hasn't had time to figuring out the obvious because she's too busy mastering in the mundane...

GaussianCopula posted:I think a pet system is only complete if it allows breeding, including cross species breeding with a realistically modeled gene system, including special breeding ships of course. You joke, but people are suggesting this for the space farming on reddit: quote:This more-or-less sounds like there's a "recipe" that is to be discovered by the farmer. Wouldn't this really defeat the point of these "exotic" plants, having the recipe easily searchable online? quote:There may be an answer to that: genetic drift. While a published "recipe" may provide okay to good results, variation of seed stock, plus changes to ideal conditions in subsequent generations, means that each farmer may have to adjust specifically to what they have planted. quote:Do you want them to last longer, looks better, taste better, have better mouth texture, grow faster, require less fertalizer, require less light? etc. you find the 'best' combination for your market. hopefully seeds + pants have traits they can pass to children, (with some random variation) or be genetically cloned for an exact copy (like current day bananas). I mean, I think it's bad enough everyone has to pretend that CIG is actually going to make all these minigames designed by non-technical staff members in their MMO, but when you start going down the rabbithole and thinking this tiny side activity available in a single configuration of a single ship is going to model genetic code including defects and mutation, and that you'll stake out a valuable market segment by designing for mouthfeel in a virtual world where that concept literally doesn't exist, then you've lost all grip on reality. Virtual mouthfeel

Which really makes this all so much more hilarious that you have to do all of this in order to get a chance to beg for a refund.

But CIG is not a professional-run company, so it stands to reason that you deffo have to write a mini-essay so that it penetrates their thick skulls as to why anyone could *possibly* want a refund from the eminent entity that is Christ Roberts.

Yea, could be we both just got lucky to get Krakilyn - Sandi, on the other hand, very much so does want your 'feedback' on things and, honestly, given the rep she's building for herself it's hilarious that she asked for it over the weekend in my case. The implied threat of: "Be nice to Christo Roberto's space goddess with your feedback, or you might not get your money back" is palpable then and it feels like 2:27 of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWSwWnsXKYI
