"lol once again even as early as a few hours ago CIG sends an email saying, and i am paraphrasing, they just almost had it ready for today but gosh darn just narrowly missed it. But good news will have it to you one day off so at least we were close right guys?

Once again lying through their teeth knowing that was not realistic.

Once again taking us for fools.

Give me a refund im done. This time for good.

Chris also introduced two previously unannounced new features to expand the scope even more. Various ship anti theft devices you can install to lower your monthly insurance bills and some other crap thing I forgot. loving magical BS this project is.

So even 900 years in the future we are still trying to find ways to cut our monthly insurance payments? Something tells me that Chris got his idea from this.

2.6 patch notes

quote:

Star Citizen Patch 2.6.0i
Welcome to Star Citizen Alpha Patch 2.6.0i, Evocati new and old! For the complete 2.6.0 PTU patch notes for the very exciting launch, you can find them this space here
Your launcher should show “2.6.0-488815” as the client version. It is strongly recommended that players delete their USER folder for the Live client after patching, particularly if you start encountering any odd character graphical issues or crash on loading. The USER folder can be found (in default installations) at C:\Program Files\Cloud Imperium Games\StarCitizen\Public.
Please do take full advantage of the PTU Issue Council to report any bugs you encounter, as well as contribute to other players submissions.
Important Issues
New! Crusader is currently disabled so that players can focus testing efforts on Arena Commander and Star Marine. New! Be advised that you will need to restart the client after every Star Marine or Arena Commander match or you will be unable to join a new match. Star Marine Leaderboards are not in-game this build. Our planned Electronic Access improvements for sequential map loading (“mega map”) are not in this build. Scan is not complete, please refrain from using it (“Tab” key on default keybindings). Missile rebalance is ongoing. Flight Balance Changes to include AB, Acceleration, Boost, Fuel Rates, and Jerk are ongoing. Updates[
Fixed a number of issues within the new frontend interface. Fixed a number of collision issues in Echo Eleven and Station Demien. Fixed a number of glitches with various props around Echo Eleven and Station Demien. Fixed a number of client and server crashes. Back to top

"Tonights stream made me regret pledging for SC. I'm serious. Aside from the appalling production quality of the stream itself, what content that was shown was very lack luster.

Sure, they would push AC/SM, we understand that, but I would have thought that they would have actually bothered about their gameplay. All that grenade spam... reminded me of Battlefield 3. Oh yay.

The rest of the night was a joke. "Oh hey, here is a shiny new ship that you should so totally buy now and not wait for it to have any sort of balance pass. Oh, you want to know about 3.0? Well, let us answer just a couple of the really easy questions that we can, you know, gabble on about to fill, you know, time. Actual questions that may be relevant? What are those?"

And not coming upfront to say "look, we can't do 2.6 tonight and it has been pushed back again" is just very weak and uncaring to the community. I found that out from Twitch chat. Did it even get a mention? I'm not sure 'cos the sound was awful most of the time. And the final sting was the, almost mandatory, "coming soon" advert at the end.

Well, the end of my subscription is coming sooner, and Alpha or no, when you are draining money from your community you owe them something more than what we recieved tonight, and getting in https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/7361456/#Comment_7361456

Hahaha this is the epitome of rushing something out of the door to keep the illusion of progress. You dont launch something into a public test realm when you have a bug that forces everyone to restart the client after each match to get another match going

In project management, a death march is a project that the participants feel is destined to fail, or that requires a stretch of unsustainable overwork. The general feel of the project reflects that of an actual death march because project members are forced to continue the project by their superiors against their better judgment.

Software development and software engineering are the fields in which practitioners first applied the term to these project management practices. Other fields have since recognized the same occurrence in their own spheres and have adopted the name.

Death marches of the destined-to-fail type usually are a result of unrealistic or overly optimistic expectations in scheduling, feature scope, or both, and often include lack of appropriate documentation or relevant training and outside expertise that would be needed to accomplish the task successfully. The knowledge of the doomed nature of the project weighs heavily on the psyche of its participants, as if they are helplessly watching themselves and their coworkers being forced to torture themselves and march toward death. Often, the death march will involve desperate attempts to right the course of the project by asking team members to work especially grueling hours (14-hour days, 7-day weeks, etc.) or by attempting to "throw (enough) bodies at the problem", often causing burnout.

Often, the discomfort is heightened by the knowledge that "it didn't have to be this way"; that is, that if the company wanted to achieve the goal of the project, it could have done so in a successful way had it been managed competently (such as by devoting the obviously required resources, including bringing all relevant expertise, technology, or applied science to the task rather than just whatever incomplete knowledge a few employees happened to possess). Patent under-resourcing is especially offensive at a large corporation with sufficiently deep pockets; at least at small companies, a gap between resources and needs is understandable, but at large, profitable, cash-rich companies, under-resourcing is not a necessity and thus feels to most workers like stupidity. Business culture pressures, such as the long-noted phenomenon of corporations pursuing short-term maximization of profits via cost cutting or avoidance that is damaging to long-term best interest, may play a role in addition to mere incompetence.
