Sean Tracy did the same thing last week in an interview on AtV. You have to understand, there's no way I could possibly WATCH an episode of AtV or any of the other 9 web shows they put on for this shitshow. They just look happy in .gifs. In honor of the top of the page, here's stuff that happened in 1859: Jan 5th 1st steamboat sails, Red River Jan 22nd Brahms' 1st piano concerto (in D minor) premieres, Hanover Jan 23rd Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii begins an eruption that lasts 300 days Jan 24th Political union of Moldavia and Wallachia; Alexandru Ioan Cuza is elected as ruler.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:What're you talking about I couldn't quite parse it either. Derek isn't a brand, he's just a guy. An albeit somewhat famous developer, sure, but he's still just a guy, and afaik he's never formally referred to himself as anything other than that. And I don't know if you equate giving Derek a refund to getting "rid" of him, but it didn't work in either case, it just made Crobberts look bad. They tried to pin it on him trying to advertise his game, but he wasn't and pretty much never has in all of his talk about Star Citizens failings. CIG I'm sure wanted to get rid of Derek Smart's allegations (because they're all true), but trying to silence him and effectively ban him from the game had the complete opposite effect.

Yeah, all they have to do is adjust the paarp.xml file and set MaxPlayers=100, roll out a 20GB patch and all is well.

Lime Tonics posted:I understand why they are worried about perma-death so much. It just clicked. Say your ship is down to like 5% or whatever and you need to eject, you have to factor in the 5 second get out of chair animation, walk to a door, and have to wait through another 5 second go outside animation, all before your ship explodes. It makes sense now. 5 second get up animation? Calm down speedy gonzalez, this isn't a race.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:They could have shut it down with a simple "Dr. Smart is certainly entitled to his opinion.

I wonder if it was Sandi who got pissed off first, then told Crobbers if he didn't write a ten page diatribe against Derek he didn't have any balls, or something like that.

Right now the only ships you can even sort of use are very small ships that could hold ~8 people, right? Like, the size of an IRL yacht? Theoretically is this supposed to let you own a capital ship and walk all around it and see every deck? Because that does sound really cool. But that in itself would have to be the entire focus of the whole game. Like those guys who are trying to make a complete digital reconstruction of the Enterprise. Would you be able to interact with/murder your crew of NPCs?

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:They could have shut it down with a simple "Dr. Smart is certainly entitled to his opinion. We look forward to proving him wrong and are confident he will be pleasantly astonished with what will be released" i think this is what that poster meant by derek's "brand" - his public image, his attitude and the way he carries himself online. like, before this thread i only knew derek smart as a real brawler, a litigious hothead who i (very wrongly) assumed had no sense of humour. now i think of him as a completely hilarious hothead with a real passion for videogames who i kind of adore. roberts and gardiner are absolute idiots. if you think about derek's blog posts and conclude that the best way to combat them is with an equally inflammatory retaliatory blog post, you have completely misread the writing on the wall and deserve everything coming to you.

I have no idea what I am doing in Elite, but I flew a spaceship, tried to land on a planet without my landing gear lowered, bounced a bit, went for try two and succeeded, drove a space moon buggy that apparently has a jet/jumppack and finally did a mission for 15000 credits. It cost me less than my SC ship, I had triple the FPS and no crashes. Now I understand why the SC community hates E:D so much

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:What're you talking about "Derek writes his blog, and Chris goes apeshit and refunds his money and cancels his account without being asked?!?" I'll break it down. If you're a customer, then you have recourse to claim distress because you're a customer. If you're not a customer, then you don't have much of a leg to stand on. Is that clearer for you?

Will the game have stealth mechanics? While i'm sure that purple laser is deadly, he'll be completely powerless if you can sneak up behind him and pull off his CPAP mask. Also, is there any place where they publish an official "features to be implement" list, the way Toady does for Dwarf Fortress?

Didn't even do the planetary landing cause I don't have horizons. Everything about Elite - from jumping to docking to working the menus in your ship - feels a loving thousand times better than SC.

Croberts master of double-speak. "Star Marine/Arena Commander of facets of the overall game. Both will be used to hone your skills for the Persistent Universe. Waiting for everything to be properly polished before enabling it, nothing has been thrown out. Both will be supported but are less important than delivering the main experience of the Persistent Universe." Hmm yes use these to understand the game better in the PU, In the PU these skills aren't as important.
