Loiosh posted:I always wonder when I'm reading something like this what the thought process is behind the post. For my own perspective, I felt I've been consistent since 2010 with my perspective, uninformed as it is, of the kind of expenses a project like this would entail. Here's the post: http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=22187877#item_22187877 - and that here I've been even and consistent on my expectations, my thoughts behind those expectations, and the opinions I hold. Have I given you reason to suspect I would be untruthful in my feelings or my response here? Thanks for the response... obviously I can't predict your actions, but with the overwhelming evidence, people fleeing the company, features promised that can absolutely never be delivered, dishonest sales tactics I really believe you won't ever lose faith and post some pat "I am not happy, I wish they would have fulfilled their promises" post... not a lie, I guess, but maybe just leaning towards something for our benefit... I mean you've put in HOURS trying to defend CIG (not white knighting, but explaining) so I feel nothing they can do will ever really cause you to bail out. and that makes me sad, loiosh. it makes me sad

AP posted:Nevermind, I think I found your post explaining your reasoning but I don't understand it. You don't think they did what they said they did because it's really complicated is about the best sense I can make of that. As I mentioned, I don't believe what they did is a proper/correct implementation. A hack (this proves it without a doubt) is fine. But even so, it's a stop-gap measure that I believe is going to not only cause some serious problems down the road, but which is also pretty much going to throw out all their "promises" made to backers for how the game world is going to run, be updated in real-time (persistent) etc. The only conclusive proof will come when they release entire world as per the star map. Thing is, nobody needs to listen to Ben. Those backers who have clout and who care, should be asking DIRECT questions to the brain trust and get some DIRECT answers. Anything short of that, is hogwash. And if they lie about it, well, if/when the game is finished and the entire world is active/live, we'll know for sure. Note: They could have released the entire world map but only populate Stanton. They chose not to do that; under the excuse that the other social/planetside areas etc aren't completed. It's rubbish.

They've made it so there is no way to get a concrete answer, ever. Croberts made that post stating that any answer through anyone other than him was just "their understanding at the time" or whatever it was and only he had the full picture. Access to Croblers is gated through the not-a-town-hall-as-promised avenue of 10FTC. He can pick and choose what to answer. I'm sure that he has made another get out for himself at some point about how "things change during game development" So to summarise:
I hope that clears up exactly how open this development is

Before I realized that everyone on the CIG forums are insane I got into a debate with him. He wanted mining ships to have active cloaks so that no pirates could find you while mining and kill you. I pointed out, and cited, that CR said he wants no active cloaks in the game because that's not how he was balancing stealth mechanics. That guy's response was effectively "yea but there should be because I want it." He's batshit insane. Nyeehg posted:Oh lord.

My favorite bit of the anniversary sale stream was when no one wanted to ask Chris any questions about Mark Hamill. Those ungrateful fuckers kept asking about some dumb game while Chris sat there looking pissed off until eventually someone asks him the most bland question ever. Something like "Was Mark Hamill fun to work with". Then we had a repeat performance only this time with mo-cap questions. IIRC that's when Chris referred to his project a movie.

Each system represented on the star map is a single, large world Crusader-like map. You cannot fly directly from one system to another, normal travel is only possible within the bounds of each system. Transition between systems will be a transition between instances and accomplished only via jump points.

Especially when you remember that each of these systems is supposed to have bespoke assets that are probably nowhere near completion.

Hello gentlemen, as you know we have a dynamite game in the works and we're all very excited to show you proof of concept of a title that we aimed to ship by the end of November 2015. We've used a hundred million dollars of the money that we would have earned selling the game in the first place and we just need your help to bring us over the hump. Professor Bling posted:"slated for release to Windows and Linux in 2017" ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha The game is always a year and a half from release. The next module is always three months away. Also I emailed the editor they listed a bunch of actors but forgot to name the real star.
