I think the actual unironic answer is 2 weeks.

They've been consistent about not refunding gifted ships from the beginning.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:

absolutely i expect them to try and bail them out. i bet some retards backers mortgage their houses to buy more jpegs

as for how much, depends on how "close" they are to another milestone like game release. guys if we only had another 4mil the game would definitely come out...

"Cryengine doesn't really work that way, so we've been spending a lot of time and we still are spending a lot of time trying to fix and refactor that. You're sort of seeing problems that come with sort of the Cryengine old way of doing it -- 'cause really it was built as a sort of single player game."

What I heard is that they'll basically add mechanics and systems as they're available. So an asteroid base you land on in the Stanton system in 2.5 might be in the Nyx system in 2.6 when jump points are added. Makes sense. I'm not sure how they're going to get all that gameplay functionality done in a year though.

I dunno, his wording got super slippery for an answer that basically should have been "yes, there will obviously be more systems in the Alpha". It makes sense for them to try to perfect one system before moving on to another, but I thought the idea was that once they've reached a certain point they would be creating systems in the Alpha until the game world is basically fleshed out and they can launch beta (I'm taking for granted that this game will ever exist in this example).

Roberts basically says yes to everything people ask him, so his being cagey around this question, which seemed like a softball, kind of surprised me. It fits, however, with Derek's theory that Alpha is basically going to be abandoned content-wise sooner than people think, and Chris might be managing expectations on that front.

They drag you into their poo poo because Chris spent an entire workday writing a missive that turned you into a giant strawman for all of CIG's problems. Clearly it's worked since it's been months and they still bring you up like you're some kind of omnipresent specter of doom. Granted it also ostracized anyone who wasn't immersed in the Cult of Christ Roberts, Game Designer but those people were already checking out.

A banned forum account with just a gifted ship is the true pirate burner account.

How are these people not getting that other companies with publishers don't need to reveal their business practices, and typically don't reveal development to anyone besides the publisher. Because it's the publisher's money invested into the game. That's how they avoid controversy.

With Star Citizen, it's the whales' monies. People are treating CIG like they're incredible for having an open development, when CIG has to have an open development, otherwise they'd get crucified for not delivering the game back in 2014. If CIG didn't have an open development, if kickstarters didn't have open development, nobody would loving crowdfund them, because how would you know if ben lesnick is eating your money or not? But they're so loving blind, that ben lesnick is eating their money right in front of them, and the only thing that prevents them from seeing the truth is the building that hides the money being funneled out into Lesnick's jaws.

CIGs financials are the only thing they're not being open about purely because they know they've wasted their money. And these shitizens don't want to see the financials despite totally being entitled to it, because they don't want to discover the truth about their Best drat Space Sim Ever.

You know what? I think you're right. They released AC 2.0, waited two weeks, and then started denying refunds.

My honest opinion: They released 2.0 just in the nick of time before people could go after them. They now have a fully functional game out there (in a sense that it has spesh ships, missions, multiplayer, etc), and now have a fair chance of fighting off any legal action taken against them (we have a game, it's currently poo poo, but we have a game) - at which point they became brave enough to start using the 14 day digital purchase returns policies that are the requirement in the EU for example.

Truly the right choice for a MMO.

I made an account on RSI to check out the forums and I was instantly banned on the first login. Got a page that said "Whoops! You've been banned".


"Whoops" is right I hadn't made a post or anything.

It's really the only thing that makes sense, there is no real reason to release the heap of poo poo that they have other than that

Is there a MMO on Cryengine ? I know a few on Unreal3 and some simple one in Unity but the large one seem to use unique, in house systems. MWO might be the closest thing.

D_Smart posted:

Yup. Looks like the Star Citizen gene pool. They're all mixed in.

there are probably some korean ones on cryengine.
