Quit slapfighting and enjoy the fact that CIG has literally delayed children from being born as they wait for their game

quote:

Since my wife wants to go into that "dreaded" let's-start-a-family territory, I'd love to get my hands on SQ42 before that happens. I can't delay until well after PU - which is what I'd love to do - but can delay it until end of 2017. So there's a certain reason why I don't want to wait until that day I won't have that much spare time left.

They are setting the stage for Con drama and it's becoming clear that they're: 1) trying to lure gamergate into this debacle again; 2) going to scapegoat their failure to deliver on Derek and the Smarties

If Sandi actually left for good and the company failed the narrative would be that CIG was without their ace marketing person/actress/3 other roles because of Derek. And chris was distracted protecting his wife from the trolls to truly create his vision.

You know the most ridiculous part of the tickle stuff is that we found out about the video production company MONTHS AGO, and we found the loving tickle application, and we all immediately agreed "No, this is not actually Ortwin's company, this is unrelated. Just another company that happens to share the same name. We live in the real world and the real world is not that funny."

And then Mae arrives on the scene, along with the Tickler in Black.

This isn't real life. This can't be.

All the gastric bypass will do is limit the amount you can eat at one time. The most complete surgeries move where the stomach is attached to the small intestine so food spend less time in the colon, but if you eat "bad" calories (refined sugar and carbs) you stay fat.

Doctors usually tell patients that they have to lose some weight on their own first to prove they can commit to a new lifestyle, which doesn't always work but it's better than nothing.

Ok then i vote for the muzzle

The forums are on fire because CIG disabled all the HUDs for most of their ships because they expect the players to use the MFDs. The problem is the MFD's are unreadable/nonfunctional for most ships and helmets obscure them further.

Also TrackIR is disabled.

MFDs?....oh multi-functional displays?

Why would they do that?

It got labeled as a feature in IC because its more 'immersive'. Even though real life HUDs exist.

It wouldn't be a huge issue if the MFDs were actually usuable. The text is literally illegible and the helmets obscure most of the bottom. With trackIR being dead you have to free look down and zoom in on the display to see your health/info.

Another tidbit I learned while lurking there is that Arena Commander is dead.

They have a leaderboard that you get entered into if you play even one game. Patch 2.1 had 900 entries.

quote:

It's practically "flying blind".

A group of six of us rolled in on a hot comms array. Twelve targets to juggle.

SOP would be a clear target call: "Third on 255" "Mike on 260" etc.

Instead it was a total clusterfuck with no way to coordinate the attack and call targets.

It's a massive fail and backers will see it first hand when it hits Live. And I expect some pretty harsh blow back.

You can't read the tiny MFD's, they are not placed in LOS like in real aircraft, the readouts are illegible and often missing completely, you have no ammo readouts, no critical damage readout, no way to read "pinned" targets.

If it were a "bug" I await CIG to fix the HUDS.

But if this is a "feature" then a very critical part of the entire combat aspect of the game has failed.

Look, I'm a 'hardcore" simmer with 20+ years flight experience . I want as real as it gets. But HUDs exist. And having tiny blurred out colored smudges on the bottom 1/10th of the screen is simply *not* realistic to me. If you want to make MFD-only an option, then fine. But this is a real mess here. Please reconsider bringing back the HUDs.

I really kinda like the new setup. It's not that hard or time consuming to hold z along with wsad to focus on what you need to see quickly. I think it adds a lot of immersion to have to look at a specific screen to find the info you after. That being said there should be a option to turn off and on the HUD features for people who don't want to look down at screens and such

quote:

I disagree as a HOTAS sim pilot for 20+ years.

Now if CIG were to get off their friggin rear end and get TrackIR/Headtracking implemented *now* (not "Soon™") then *maybe*.

But I do *never* take my hands off the HOTAS in combat, having to do so or having to dedicate one of my (already in use) hat-switches) is out of the question. Period.

The HUD should *still* should be at the very least "optional".

And there really shouldn't be any BS about how hard it would be to revert.

The FULL HUD system still works in the Gladius in 2.5. So it's ALL still there, folks.

HUDs exist in combat aircraft, helos, commercial airliners, private jets (GS 550 has a most wondrous visor HUD for the captain).

Heres a citizen who thinks that because CIG only announces sales one week in advance that SQ42 can release this week.

quote:

Same rules as ship concepts apply. Pre-orders to the general public of the commercial (non-pledging) release will have its price announced one week before the availability.
One week later it will be on general release sale. That's it.
You will not hear anything official until one week before hand.

Furthermore, during the big events you mention, there are surprise releases, with no warning. So perhaps, if they announce release at CitCon, you will not even have that amount of advanced warning.
So, unless you were expecting the release date to be this weekend, don't expect to hear anything yet.
