That's right Reddit. You missed it where lowtax and Derek smart signed up together to build a mmo. That's why we are sabotaging star citizen. They're going to build the BDSSE and goons are in on the ground floor. Why do to think bootcha pulled his investment? It's all going into the something awful mmo.

Alright it's been a couple of days since the last set, and no significant patches have occurred except for some minor thing that reportedly solved another crash bug but not the crash bug, but then they rolled it out to 50k people, so that has probably made poo poo a lot worse. I'm going to make one more attempt at completing my self imposed goal: to acquire, and then complete, one in-game mission. Attempt 1: Well, the launcher crashed mid-patch, so we're off to a great start. Side note- having to hit "Verify" after every patch and then watch as it actually corrects the files that it hosed up during the patching process does not exactly fill me with confidence. I know it's an alpha but just... jesus christ CIG, your loving patcher should probably be a little more robust, you know? Anyway- server full. server full. server full. Each time I get this message it screws up the menu, forcing me to restart the game. So every time you read it that's 2-3 minutes of loading time. login failed. server full. unlocalized error. server full. Loading screen goes black, game stops responding. Attempt 2: Login failed. Wait- got in! The game seems laggy as hell today- I have to hit the spawn-ship terminal about 30 times before it pops up a menu, and all of the doors are taking 2-3 seconds before opening. Getting in my gladius is a similar chore. Then I get the big surprise- I go to quantum travel, and the dots appear for destinations... but not the names. Hmm, that's going to make this challenging to say the least. I pick a random one and just go, since I figure two-thirds of them are comm arrays anyway. Sure enough, comm array, and pirates in the usual superships. Fighting them has become even more of a chore as now missiles appear to be completely useless and they appear to be tougher. I expend all of my missiles and cannon ammo without scoring much in the way of kills, finally finishing them off with my lasers. At least I haven't crashed yet? Go into the array, turn it on, receive mission. Now we're underway at least. I try to figure out which blip in the QT menu is the repair/refuel station, and after a brief period of flitting around I finally get it right- it's pretty easy to guess, since it's one of the closest to the main planet. I go to get rearmed, listen as the messages play, and... I do not get any ammo. Try again- same thing. poo poo. Guess I will be doing the rest of this with lasers. I figure out where the beacon I need to visit is by opening my mobiglass and repeatedly marking/unmarking the quest while watching the QT blips, seeing which one disappears. Finally I have it and fast travel there, but lo and behold, opening my mobiglass more than twice has invited some kind of glaucoma demon into my helmet, and now I can't see poo poo due to a screen blur effect. When I get to the station my controls cut out and I'm not allowed to do anything but zoom in and out on the blurry screen. Exit game. At least it didn't crash! Attempt 3: Wake up in bed to what sounds like a jet engine trying to gently caress my ear. Immediately rip off my headphones- I'm guessing a ship is buzzing the station and there is some kind of bug with the sound levels. Run downstairs, same as before- hammer on the spawner until it finally opens, get in ship, QT menu won't show destination names. Seriously I fell on the stairs this morning and bruised my tailbone and that was only the second biggest pain in my rear end today. Fly out to station, engage super pirates in lengthy dogfight- win, game crashes. Attempt 4: server full. server full. server full. Finally get in- okay, this is going to be it. The server seems really responsive this time, I wonder if it just got back up from a crash? Get ship spawned right away and fly out to a comm array- still can't see place names. Kill pirates, start array, get beacon, fly to beacon. While there I notice an amusing issue- the beacon area is far enough away from the planet that the skybox cuts off the gas giant if I turn my head. Turn left- planet clips out. Turn right- there it is again! So much for fixing cryengine. Anyway- get mission, fly to mission- okay, we're actually doing this! The mission is to defend some random person from pirates in an asteroid field. The pirates are literally unkillable. I'm not kidding- several times they glitched out and I just sat there unloading what was left of my ammo and lasers into them, doing minimal damage. Any time they were flying around, just clipping them once or twice was doing gently caress-all to stop them. I spend about 20 minutes fighting them, getting 2 kills out of about 5, until the game finally crashes. gently caress it, that's enough for tonight. Mission Status: Doesn't appear possible to complete. Final thoughts: I'd change the mission to "Go to FPS station, kill someone" except I'm not about to hunt through 20 unlabeled points until I find the FPS station. The game does appear to be significantly more stable, but it's just highlighting the many, many other issues. Their servers cannot handle the load of 50k, and they're creaking under the strain. Get past all of that, and the missions are tedious as all hell- it's just fly-here-kill-that with no purpose and the killing's not even fun because even the auroras require 20 seconds of sustained hits before they die or even see their performance degrade. Good luck trying to kill an M50. Missiles don't work at all- I'd fire them and they'd just disappear. I probably won't do many more of these- each one is an ordeal of sitting through loading screens, sprinting through the same dozen actions, then maybe getting a little farther each night. The game appears to be balanced around Super Hornet grade firepower and I'm not about to give this company $175 just to make their garbage missions tolerable.

DreadLlama posted:Smart claims to be on the verge of taking his claim to open court. Evidence that's going to be argued there will need to be time-stamped so that the presiding judge can accurately assess Robert's intentions throughout the crowdfunding campaign. Both "what he said" and "when he said it" are factors of consideration. It is known that Roberts retroactively changed his crowdfunding goals after his financial success. No evidence has yet been submitted to the contrary. Just stop, you're making yourself look worse than freaking octopode. He's right, you're wrong, it happens to the best of us.

How does the dogfighting and missions feel when done offline? The highlight is probably trying to EVA and do the comm missions without fighting anything. The fight rages all around but they seem to leave you alone once you power-down. After you finish one there's a search-and-rescue mission that has you pickup a blackbox.
