I am sure that putting extra restrictions on unmelting ships will in no way cause even more work for their CS teams and back up ticket queues further with unhappy customers

Ravane posted:It's kinda funny that X-Rebirth is still a better game than Star Citizen and much closer to what shitizens want than the actual game. If X-Rebirth had followed the Early Access model it would have been praised, the game has improved significantly since the original release. It's certainly not X-4 but it's got more gameplay in it than Star Citizen right now.

There's no real advantage to them in answering support calls faster, especially for refunds, a backlog is just a good excuse as it's believable that before there's a game they'd fall behind dealing with game support. At least now we know why they paused unmelts months ago, it seemed odd then because the procedure was to have store credit on the account for the unmelt and some of that credit would have been new money. The real reason they stopped was because they wanted all the unmelts done with new money. Citizens think there's a chance this policy will change, I dunno, CIG have planned this for months and didn't tell anyone.

 Store credit will be allowed* *In next build** **2 weeks. There's a certain genius to the deception going on at this point, nobody thought during the design to allow store credit, on the store.  Anyone who actually believes that is an idiot, considering the system this was brought in to replace only used store credit.

lol how much loving creative thinking does it take to code in a button that uses store credits, yeah loving right, it's obvious they fully intended on fleecing people and are only backpedaling because they saw the enormous pushback on places like Reddit and now have to completely rethink how they are going to go about this while still being able to collect money. It's never about customer service for them.

Fixed an issue where some untextured items would appear on the reflections inside the VFG Industrial Hangar. Fixed an issue where there was a faint pink-purple tinge in the VFG Industrial Hangar lighting. Technical Fixed an issue where having all Constellation variants in the hangar at once would cause severe streaming issues.

Fixed an issue where ship attachments (weapons and components) would not behave correctly when the ship was destroyed. Fixed an issue where the Battle Royale game mode would sometimes not end. Fixed an issue where players could get kicked from Vanduul Swarm for being idle while waiting to respawn.

Fixed an issue where multiple ships had broken or incorrect damage states in multiplayer game mode. User Interface Fixed an issue where Vanduul ships weapons were not being displayed in the OVR HUD.

Two new sliders have been added to the audio option menu. “Dynamic Range” and “Ship Computer Speech Volume”. Ship The MISC Freelancer (base) is now flyable in Crusader. Environment Added an “aim” pose for characters that are prone. User Interface Both the Hangar Elevator and the Main Menu “Universes” UI now allows users to select instances (either best available or instances with friends/contacts) after they have selected the location. Balance/Tweaks: Gameplay Mobiglas animations have been streamlined to make the process of accessing missions faster. Character Crouch animations and related locomotion have received some tweaks. The animations for “Idle to Movement” and “Movement to Idle” while holding a pistol have been tweaked. Some minor changes to how stop, starts, footsteps and running are animated. Run/walk animations have received tweaks. Technical Several performance improvements for Crusader have been made. The Port Olisar ship selector console has received some performance improvements.

Fixed an issue where players could activate the ship self-destruct while in the green zone. Fixed an issue where pilots would not receive a collision warning for certain objects and stations in Crusader. Fixed an issue where ships that had self-on or near landing pads would not despawn and thus render the landing pad useless. Fixed an issue where it was possible to get the Port Olisar airlocks stuck in a permanent cycle state. Character Fixed an issue where activating aim down sight would not correctly override sprint when the player had a weapon out. Ship Fixed an issue where the landing gear for the Retaliator Bomber was missing collision. Fixed an issue where the Vanduul Scythe cockpit would shoot forward when the ship is destroyed. Fixed an issue where decoupled mode could be used in Cruise mode. Fixed an issue where interacting with the Constellation Andromeda side airlocks would catapult players out into space.

Fixed an issue where audio elements from the ship-terminals at Port Olisar would abruptly cut off as a character interacted with it. Fixed an issue where the scroll bar in the Contacts List (“F11”) was very difficult to see. Equipment Fixed an issue where weapons would pop into place during select/deselect animations rather then happening smoothly. Fixed an issue where the “Use” prompt for pick-ups (such as guns) would show up through walls. Fixed an issue with the P4-AR Ballistic Rifle, where it added a camera jerk when shifting fire modes. Technical Fixed an issue where motion blur would be much more drastic on faster machines. Fixed several server-side crashes. Fixed some of the server and performance issues that were occurring when there were many AI ships active simultaneously. Fixed an issue where joining instances via the “Contacts In Instance” function was frequently timing out. User Interface Fixed an issue where “Contacts in instance” was very difficult to read on the Elevator terminal UI.

the cash grabs the past couple weeks have been sickening. I'm reminded of three weeks ago, when Lesnick apologized about the words "PLAYABLE NOW" and claimed it was an honest mistake, but never got around to changing the wording in the trailer or their own youtube channel. The idea that there isn't a straight forward way to add store credit to the website is just as ridiculous. Deploying these tactics paired with the recent rejection of refunds really puts some substance behind the idea that they are getting desperate for money.

A Neurotic Jew posted:the cash grabs the past couple weeks have been sickening. Yeah, I wouldn't have believed it, but they are seemingly getting pretty desperate. I wouldn't discount the rumor that they are looking for an investor. I don't think a publisher would touch them unless they had similar, maybe even harsher terms than Microsoft and Freelancer (IE: Chris and Sandi completely removed from any sort of positions of power) and they got bought out for cheap, especially if progress looked like poo poo. And lol if the backers think that for a single moment Chris gives a hot gently caress about what he promised he wouldn't do. All he gives a poo poo about is his magnum opus at this point, and I wouldn't be surprised if all remaining funds were going to finish that while a skeleton crew was left fixing the modules and poo poo.
