LCL-Dead posted:Elite is very much a "make of it what you can" type of game. It's fun when played as a group or if you particularly enjoy Eurotruck Simulator In Space type games. The saying "A mile wide and an inch deep" fits it very well. However, new content is coming and has an actual release window, unlike some other games. Yeah, but it's two extremes here. E:D has an insane number of systems, SC could have 0.5% as many and still be a much much larger universe. It currently has 100 stars or so. For a single player game that's fine, a story that involves working your way through every star on the map is feasible. But for a large scale persistent universe? 700,000 backers, so that's 7,000 players in each star system. Crowded as hell for a space game. E:D is slow as hell, but the scale of space feels real - especially with NPCs you have what I feel is a realistic chance of encountering another ship without feeling you're bumping elbows with them all the time. The scale of the universe in SC makes me think it'll only work well if hardly anyone plays in it. Chalks fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Nov 12, 2015 |

panders to their brown sea even more so than CIG does and sides with the spergs who seem to think it should take literal real years to complete certain objectives. They also hate it when players can make money at a decent rate that nullifies some of the grind.

Bootcha posted:SPLASH ONE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The fact that they are paying him in installments should give your the idea how bad the situation is. Any bets on when we get 'SPLASH TWO' from Bootcha? I bet since he was in for 200K, he gets his money back in 2x100K installments and the next one is after Anniversary Sale in 10 days or so.

I mean to be fair, that's probably what I would do even if I had 94 million just hanging around, so who knows. Could be indicative that they are completely out of money, or it could just be that paying him all at once would drop the level of CR's Scrooge McDuck money-pool to unacceptable levels.

Atlanton posted:I requested a refund and this was the response: JazzPaws posted:...then on the eighth day after asking for a refund..we have contact... First, call your bank/credit card company/credit union/whatever and ask them for the guidelines to get a chargeback. Find out where the forms are located, etc. Then send a response to CIG: Explain very calmly and politely that CIG has failed to provide the product they advertised, that there is evidence that the product they intend to deliver is not the product that was advertised when you made your purchase, and that there is no timeline for the delivery of that product. Then say that you have numerous examples of them providing refunds to others without any kind of special circumstances whatsoever and that while you would prefer to work things out with them directly you are willing to utilize the chargeback process if necessary. Explain that you have already contacted your financial institution regarding the chargeback process and they have been extremely supportive. Emphasize that it is very clear that CIG does not have a cohesive return policy, that you will not accept anything less than a full refund, and then list out the individual transactions that you want refunded. Do not ask for a refund on any transactions regarding subscriptions or physical goods that have been delivered (hence specifying individual transactions). Reinforce that you have already been very patient with them and that X days/weeks is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for a response. Be prepared to follow through with a chargeback. CIG is in the wrong here.

Chalks posted:The scale of the universe in SC makes me think it'll only work well if hardly anyone plays in it. I like the way you think. Edit: So Patrick debated with me about my refund amount for two days in a row. I felt special, I felt acknowledged, I felt like I might actually be making headway to getting my money back. It's now been two days without a reply to my last email. I'm going to head to the bank after work and talk to them about their chargeback policies and get the paperwork rolling on every purchase made with my card or through paypal, using the card, since I originally signed up. This is loving ridiculous. They won't give me the $300 I'm asking for so I'll take all $700 back forcefully. LCL-Dead fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Nov 12, 2015 |

It can be genetic and it can be because you're a fatass. I've got a buddy who uses one and he's pretty much a poster model for being healthy (weight, diet, exercise, etc) and he needs one. He's debating getting surgery in order to correct the issue.

I believe she's been there from the beginning, much like Sandi. Remember there was a time when the whole thing was run out of a rented house in Austin. I can't imagine Alexis is happy there, especially given how toxic Sandi has made the workplace. She was really friendly when I met her in person last year and I'm sure dealing with an endless deluge of customer service tickets has been rough.

Matlock Birthmark posted:Didn't Ben and his wife move to work for CIG....twice now. It seems very possible they are metaphorically chained to the deck of the sinking ship. He was hired by Chris and Sandi as a reward for this near religious obsession with Wing Commander. Loyalty is, after all, the trait that they value above all others- (as disloyalty is, to the narcissist-- the most grievous of all sins.) So now, in being on the payroll at CIG, and being given the title "Head of Starships", Ben has achieved that rarest of opportunities. As Robert Frost described it: quote:My object in living is to unite
