Newsflash. I'm a dev. And yes, I do know all about locking features, only unlocking them for testing etc.

But that's not what we're talking about here. So pay attention....

What we're talking about is a 3.0 build in which 99% of what was promised in the build, isn't being played - like right now. Instead, they have a separate CryEngine level (sphere in a box) with some ships and ground vehicles. Basically, Arena Commander on a barren rock.

If 3.0 is in ANY state to be shown, as they have said repeatedly, why was it necessary to "chop" it up and make a "demo"?

As a dev, only a loving moron would buy that bullshit about people jumping all over the place when in fact, these past years, the very same game has been shown/player in streams - with "people playing around and quantum jumping all over the place in the full, unlocked build" - and nobody complained because, well guess what Princess, that's how large games, especially MMO games, are.

That aside from the fact that they bothered to put spawn points on Daymar. Why would they need to do that, when they could very well have left the PU intact, but just have QT from Olisar to Daymar (not even the other two planetoids)?

And as they have been touting these moons, the size, scope etc, why now would those very same features be a hindrance?

The current 2.6.3 build is more feature rich than this "3.0 demo". And the former isn't even being played at the show. It's almost as if it doesn't exist anymore, or that they're embarrassed to show/play it live.

So what's left to be seen is how much different Chris's presentation build will be on Friday. In the meantime, tomorrow Thurs, we look forward to more ganky poo poo.

And this is why MoMA does what he does and loves it. :downs:

Sure, you should tell Chris about it though because they can only have 12 people playing together right now.

Right?

"We're building a giant open universe sandbox sim, and in order to show you just how far we've come along in terms of making multiple planets, we're going to lock the demo to one single one missing all of the interesting features it totally already has, because otherwise people would treat it like a sandbox game and we can't have that."

They could have allowed the streamers to be like that Freelancer commercial where the crew goes to discover an alien world together and lands on the planet with the Captain being all happy. I think it ended with a rover coming down from the ship.

But that'd of been actual progress towards the game as sold. Can't have that.

Hope the backers are overjoyed with the new direction! (FPS ground combat very akin to crysis, for obvious loving reasons)

Sorry girls and guys. It wasn't the Freelancer, it was the uh "Constellation". I don't recall this one really outside of being sold a long time ago.

This is what CIG should have done for their 3.0 streaming event. This is literally the embodiment of what most backers are dreaming these days.

Any event, noclip hover bikes on a tiny planet level is pretty close. Definitely the next thing that is the embodiment of the Star Citizen dream.

The average usage of the 2.6.3 EA modules is now struggling to stay above 40 concurrent players.

Star Marine: 16.9
Arena Commander: 20.2
Murray Cup: 3.0

Total: 40.1

The interval covered by this report was Aug 14 to Aug 23.
