Good news though, plenty of vacuums will be brought to clean up crumbs with. All of which will have varying degrees of sucking power that we will inevitably compare....because goons.

But we can't keep talking about the new thread house in public. Ben will just show up and eat all the cookies. Probably eat us as well. And the house. Also more than likely devour whatever city it is in too. :lesnick:

We will just have to talk about it at the next meeting when we plan out the newest round of faked refund posts.

This is a lot of potential suck going on.

If only these vacuums could be used as programmers, we could help get Star Citizen back on track.

Wait, is that set to 100 orders per page, he's on the first page, and it lists a July 2016 order as 100th newest? 100 orders in the last 9 months?

3 pages of orders, at 100 per page, meaning at least 201 orders?

This was already scheduled to take a month. It must be some amazing, in-depth FoV customisation.

- Network Bind/Unbind (June 30th -> July 14th)

Ahhh cool, so a major netcode component is back to probably not being in this patch at all. Citizens are spinning this as only affecting server performance (not client), but the reason why the FPS is so low is due to server performance.

Those have nothing to do with private servers for the game. That's all for internal use. Private servers aren't hosted by your publisher/developer; they are hosted by you - the player. It's a game version that allows you to run a remote or local server. Like https://www.pingperfect.com

So instead of you playing with a bunch of cuntifas on the AWS servers, you get to setup your own, have control over it, play with who you want etc. Nothing to do with AWS or private clouds sitting in a CIG office in Dallas.

Hasn't the ability for individuals to run private servers more or less been torpedoed since the (supposed) move to lumberyard prevent that?

Ah the same tired doom and gloom rhetoric.

I need to constantly keep reminding this community that what we are getting is alpha 3.0 NOT beta 3.0.

I'm reminding you now that anyone expecting a smooth player experience for 3.0 is needlessly and carelessly setting themselves up for disappointment.

Alpha 3.0 is mostly a content patch. Do not, in no way, expect a smooth player experience. Stop it.

It will be buggy and suffer from low frame rates just like all the other x.0 patches. There is no reason to believe, and especially expect, otherwise.

The MMO network is in its infancy and will continue to evolve over the next few years. We're not getting a magical leap in performance any time soon. If anything expect 3.0 live to be performing much worse than now. Why? Because we're in early alpha, these systems are being made from the ground up.

The next issue that is completely wrong is the crazy myth going around that we're somehow getting a reduced version of 3.0.

Stop with the pointless fake news. 3.0 as scheduled has more in it than we saw in either 3.0 demo. You haven't made a list of features to compare. If you had, you'd know that we're getting almost all the things from the original 3.0 demo as well as most features from the second 3.0 with a few exceptions. Additionally, we're getting other things, some of which are already in game that were in neither 3.0 demo.

Please stop with the ridiculous expectations.

Finally I would like to remind this community again that even if 3.0 is terrible, doesn't live up to your expectations, or any other "disaster", it is completely irrelevant in the bigger picture. We are 3+ years from SC and this is a small blip of time in the entire process. It's only your perception of importance at this moment in time based on your own tunnel vision. In a few years when more players are enjoying the alpha or beta most won't even know what alpha 3.0 was.

Don't agree? What do you think the average WOW player thinks of any of the WOW beta drama? Oh that's right they don't care because no one was around to remember since hardly anyone played the WOW bata. Same here.

In the grand scheme of things the only thing your aggressive, witch hunt, complainer attitudes do to the game are
  • Frustrate your own mind (brain damaging yourself for no reason)
  • Give newcommers the wrong information about what to expect for 3.0
  • Waste your own and my time (every time I need to explain what the alpha we're playing is and what you bought)
  • Waste CIG time (since some of them have to read the same, tired, inaccurate and malicious nonsense.

2.6 is perfectly playable, as long as you are tolerant of the things that make it unplayable. 3.0 probably won't fix any of that, don't get your hopes up! Game of the decade!

As usual, the vision from CIG is excellent and unparalleled in gaming history. The comments are really surprising. I honestly can't believe the spite you fellow so-called citizens have.
1 that even after ben's response people aer still not understanding why and how CIG operate.
2 complainers always faill to provide even remotely plausible alternatives to what they're complaining about
3 general lack of understanding that this game is in early alpha and that we are still 3-5+ years from post beta. Stop with the beating of the dead horse that this game is somehow delayed. You're missing the bigger picture
4 continued failure to provide examples and / or sound logic
5 I hope CIG do a good enough job with ignoring "bad" community reactions and they keep doing, what they, as experts, consider to be the best course of action.
6 I still see the self righteous replies that CIG should apologise. I'm never going to be siding with witch hunters.
7 there's constructive feedback and cry baby feedback. I've heard enough cry baby feedback from you guys.
As this community becomes mainstream the ignorant feedback will grow and could ruin this game if CIG decide to comply with some of the bad ideas. I hope CIG continue to put the game first and don't listen to some of the terrible ideas that come out of the feedback from the witch hunt complainers.
