Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

No, not at all, but it seems like you think that no one in this thread knows about the state of the game. Newsflash.. we all know and we are capable of deciding if it's something worth playing or not. Why do you care so much about the state of the game? do you play it?

I care because you're encouraging bad industry trends by supporting star citizen, just like pre-orders.
 
I don't mind reading or seeing fresh criticism for the game... if it comes, and they have certainly earned just about all of it. But the same few always griping about the same things does get a bit old at almost 480 pages. There was even a second thread made to discuss the issues and complaints but I believe it got locked. A lot of people, even supporters have grievances with the game. I am not ashamed to have voiced a fair share, even a jab a few pages ago while being excited to try 3.18.X when its "functional". I am also not ashamed to have backed it once the Kickstarter ended or to have had crazy amounts of fun (in certain builds) over that time span.

Oh well. Here's too another 480 pages of winging.

Pretty sure that this thread will run for another four hundred and eighty pages before the game actually gets finished

According to CR himself, that will never happen:

There is no final finish line the way you would have with a traditional retail game. Star Citizen is a way of life for as long as the community is engaged by it.

Meanwhile over 100k players are playing this game....

You and many others here said this game would die soon and that was said 4 years ago here...

As a supporter of the game, I can’t wait to pass all my purchased ships to my grandkids…

Where’s my Squadron 42, the only thing I really cared about back then.

There is another full wipe coming with 3.18.2 which should be a week or two away so I will probably wait until then to start playing again. 3.18.1 is mainly back end fixes whereas 3.18.2 will fix more gameplay related issues.

There is also a free fly event starting today but it will probably be a mess, they are basically using it as a stress test to break the game and get ready for the May free fly.

Yeah, I am just messing around, not leveling up any rep etc.

Yesterday we had some fun, met some people. One dude died to an over powered AI, I Went to rescue him and I died, a guy came to rescue me and He died, ane 1 more guy came to rescue him and he died.. all to 1 security guard lol! I ended up releasing and coming back, took 2 clips of a P8 to kill him. jeez!
 
If this all goes well then May's big event may be in time for 3.19. The 3.18.1 and 3.18.2 they specifically mentioned they need to stress the server to test some fixes (and to check out other forms of breakage) so we'll see how that goes if they get the critical mass necessary.
 
Also 3.18.2 is out, if it is fairly stable I will start playing again. I still expect another unplanned wipe or two but hopefully things are pretty normal going into 3.19 in May.

So far so good, I have been playing it since 3.18.1 dropped, 3.18.2 improves a bit more, there is still a lingering issue with not being able to hail the landing services, but Alt+n or whatever you have it bound to works

Even with a busy server, the performance was good, everything was fairly responsive.

.1 was eh. I wandered around Orison as I had not been there yet. Soon as I got to spawning my ship usual crash lol. Will try .2 in a week or so if I have the time.
 
I played a bit last night, two servers had issues and one good server crashed on me. Hopefully things calm down over the next week.

Some of the issues I had were that I couldn’t load shop terminals, inventory moves wouldn’t register and bounty targets wouldn’t load for me.

Yeah, when they started spawning Xeno Threat, things went south a bit, it was better this morning for sure. For the shop issue, I purchased an item off of the wall, then the terminal worked, weird.

I was able to successfully finish 1 xeno threat from start to finish! 350k made during that as well, holly hell though, the final battle I hit 20fps max
 
Despite being a FF since .1 dropped, performance has been exceedingly amazing server side until they activated XT today, and even then I have not had any crashes or server drops in 3 hours this evening of doing delivery missions just to relax. You just have to play the game at a less crackheaded monkey pace than people seem to - walk/jog instead of sprint, click once and wait, etc.
That is something I could never have said before during a FF or an event.

I really wish less people would fucking haul around at sprint in heavy armor and weapons. I dunno, it just bothers the hell out of me for some reason in this game more than others I have played. To be fair, anyone sprinting in a capital pisses me off quite a bit as theres no reason to if you arent an impatient crackhead who actually sets aside time to play a game thats designed to not be played like you think its CoD with space ships.
It also probably annoys me because sprinting can and will cause bugs and deaths/injuries, and then the dumb fucks do a shocked pikachu face that they died for some reason. "I sprinted off the stairs and died! WTF!@$@!!!" - Or the fuck who sprinted into me when getting in an elevator and it pushed me through the world to fall to my death. Totally not bitter, that wouldnt have affected my hatred for people sprinting at all.

I don't sprint at full speed but I do run. Because I do have limited time and by time I get to the ship selection panel its been 10 to 15 minutes and after a crash or two I'm almost out of time to play so I need to get back there quickly if I hope to do anything.

How do you run vs sprint? I thought here was only 2 speeds, sloth and running out of breath

Scroll wheel up and down when walking forward or back will adjust movement speed, and shift is always sprint. You can move at maximum movement speed (mouse wheel up until running/jogging) forever unlike sprint. Its not quite as fast, but nearly so, and causes a lot less issues with the game.

Thats fine IMO, running/jogging doesnt bother me for some reason. Its the full sprinting by using shift that pisses me off to no end. I have no issue if people want to "run" everywhere, that doesnt bother my mental switch like sprinting does.
Its still better to not be super full run in the interest of not launching off ramps and stairs, but its very rare when you arent sprinting, and only really happens on super low gravity moons.

Thanks! I have died a couple of times on planets sprinting!
 
I think the following was my issue with shops since I was flying around in a Gladius:

When visiting a station or city, players have been encountering a situation where all shop kiosks at the location appear empty. We are investigating a solution to this issue and will implement a fix as soon as possible, but for now, this situation occurs when certain in storage at the city or station. To correct this, if a player has any of the following ships stored at a location, they should retrieve the ship(s) from storage.

The affected ships are:

  • Aegis Sabre
  • Kruger Merlin and Archimedes
  • Aegis Gladius
  • Anvil Arrow
  • MISC Razor

It's been 11 years since this threead was started. So has this game launched? Finished? Or is it still sucking people dry?

Look at this as something like an MMO, Lineage 2, WoW, etc. They launched with very limited game play, and it expanded and evolved, except with more scope, game play depth, and more bugs

This game will never be "Finished" until they stop adding to it, which can be another decade from now, or they develop an AI to add more content and grow the universe while they maintain the AI and hardware maybe :p

That is true, movement seems a little janky at full speed and weird things happen that make everything look off.
