I only catch up on Star Citizen news every few months so I'm way out of touch but what's with the numbering scheme? How are they are near version 2.4 of anything when they are still in alpha?

This is version 2.4 of the alpha. or pre-alpha.

1.0 was Arena Commander/Hanger. 2.0 is the Stanton/baby-PU released in November. They add a .1 to each monthly patch starting this year. So 2.4 is April's monthly patch, and 2.5 will come in May. The numbers don't really represent anything meaningful in reality.

So 2.4 is where the VISION of the persistence begins It's all bollocks isn't it, everything they put out is pure bollocks. It's unreal.

 gently caress all of you. Fell back like 60 pages by being out all day Saturday, and it felt like I'd never get closer than 40 pages of caught up. Watching Eonwe's avatar change in real time as I was reading the thread was pretty amazing though.

It may be old hat to everyone else but the weird numbering seems such a blatant stamp that they don't know how they are going to get where they want to go.

at the bottom of Chris's rambling is this: "the rest of this entire year revolves around a Car Lot where you can spend your deeply devalued credits on more ships. That's persistence. Maybe there will be some character customization? dunno"

SomethingJones posted:So 2.4 is where the VISION of the persistence begins On DAY ONE you will be able to have a credit balance that carries over. In a month or two (or six), you will begin to see places where you can spend your credit balance. In a patch shortly after, you will be able to equip your items, and have them remain equipped between game sessions. And maybe, just maybe in a couple of years when you log on you will appear in the same place as where you logged off! That is out vision for the most immersive MMO ever conceived.

Trapezium Dave posted:Do they have a roadmap of what is going to be included at each milestone? Is release going to be a bizarrely numbered 3.0? Or is that beta, and release is 4.0? It is "Agile" development (CIG speak). They include whatever is done at a predetermined cut-off for the monthly patch (translated). Which is why they have long term visions for persistance. They have no hard deadlines, and no clue when anything will be done. What they call 3.0 or 4.0, they have been on record as saying that they have no idea.

I think I'm starting to see what Chris was supposed to do in that stream. The idea was for him to explain why a ton of features are basically going to be left to languish for the remainder of the year, under the guise of "refactoring", while the car lot gets emphasized under the guise of "persistence". Unfortunately Chris didn't have the heart to make this clear, so now Ben and Lando are left to explain the total nothingness of 2.4 without a cushion for the blow. ouch.

The sad part about the whole stream is that its been 4 years and Chris is still dreaming; there's nothing concrete, and set in stone. And what amazes me even more is spergs can view the stream and be hyped all about what's to come instead of worry about the terrible state in which the game is in right now.

Elite: Dangerous might be niche but No Mans Sky is probably going to have some marketing muscle behind it. They might not have any internal hard deadlines but they sure are some hefty external ones imposed on them.

Finally caught up from like 20+ pages ago. Ryan Archer continues to be the stolen gift that keeps on giving. A SC employee stealing from the Transverse is like the universe closing the perfect karmic loop. I'm sorry the dude buying eonwe new AVs isn't more creative. Looking forward to Something Jones' transcript of Roberts' rant today Very interesting how the morale seemed to be in that video... The warrant canaries coming home to roost

Its wonderful and creative. I'm personally looking forward to playing NMS with my son as copilot naming things and just having plain fun blowing things up and exploring.

They might not have any internal hard deadlines but they sure are some hefty external ones imposed on them. This is something I've been mulling over for a while now. The idea of Star Citizen was almost refreshing when it was announced. However, the longer this is "in development," more games will fill the void. Maybe not in scope ("dreams" they're called, these days), but games will come into the vacuum to scratch the itch of exploration, space flight, combat, and every other facet of the "in space" gem - to the point where when/if this thing ever reaches a playable (rather than testing) state, those who are not die-hard Citizens will have gotten their fill elsewhere, and the non-hardcore audience will have moved onto something else.
