How long has CIG been using the Tier 0 parlance, a month?

Virtual Captain posted:

'tier zero implementation' is a new term that has been gaining traction since whenever they do add something, it either sucks or is very buggy (see mining)
The commando recognizes that this is very different from what they've spent years imagining, so far off in fact that instead of recognizing it as a first pass, they opt to label it as an unfinished first attempt. This leaves their dreams of the future intact since everything will be perfect and fidelitous in the 20th implementation (Star Citizen has unlimited time you understand). For more critical citizens; it allows them to verbalize what they don't like about <insert feature> without implying that Star Citizen itself is bad, which it is.

The term was probably coined on one of their youtube videos since they started pointing the camera at devs more; who have had to invent creative ways of explaining delays, broken builds, and lack of meaningful progress.

Beats an eel goon. But it'd be eels probably because they're slipperier.

I'm loving the fact that Star Citizen has no planets and is 41 gigs and people think 100 completely fleshed out systems with full planets and moons everywhere won't be near 250+ gigs of HDD space by the time Star Citizen releases which is never

Beet's video demonstrates how their talk about the game being a no loading screen universe is a lie.
It's just bad smoke and mirrors on top of broken mirrors and cigarette stains.

Citizens cheering already

Who gives a poo poo about bugs? This is the new Trumpian dev model. Drop a turd, declare victory, move to the next patch. Never look back, never clean anything up, never apologize. Forward momentum!

And backers have already started parroting it as the next big talking point

Before that was pipelines, and before that ?

Simply incredible how easy these people are to influence

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, the Anniversary !Raffle is On!

Guess the exact amount (in millions) that CIG fudtracker will end up with after the Anniversary Sale!

(i,.e $210,000,000)

Quote the poo poo out of this to join.

I did a little Google News search the other day: "Star Citizen"

The results were disappointing. All articles - and I mean ALL- were about the amount of money SC gets. Nothing about the features. Not even a single: "Hey I playtested and this is my opinion". Not ONE.

Based on that, I highly doubt there is any sort of "discussion" to be had anywhere else but here. People do not know and what they read on SC articles is about money, money and more money.

So its not a matter of being open to discussion, since there is no way to have a discussion with a crowd of people who are misinformed and unwilling to accept anything but what they are fed. There is open discussion with arguments and (re)search on the topic and there is unsubstantiated, outdated and unhealthy argumentation with an inappropriate dose of "nahnahnahcanthearyou" from those who have no clue.

The only way to make an actual discussion out there will be after 3.6, I think. By then SC will feel like a game in more aspects than one, enough to make non-backers get intrigued genuinely. But until then there is no reason to pursue a discussion outside of here.

So OCS, bind culling and whatever else they blamed the terrible performance on is fixed. The game runs smooth as butter now right?

Yes, that's why they moved the spawnpoint back to Port Olisar from Lorville, because Lorville isn't a laggy piece of poo poo, you see, not at all. No sir.

iron buns posted:

The travel time between Port Olisar and Lorville is 10-15 minutes, depending on the ship. I'm sure all the newbies checking out the Free Fly will absolutely love that.

They have to cheer because they're afraid of what would fill the silence if they weren't cheering.

It's like if seven years ago some idiot said he was going to build the fastest car ever and now they're all standing round whooping with delight because they've managed to finally put wheels onto a chassis.

Jeebus. In ED my home station is 7000LS from the star, which is kind of long and takes a few minutes (about 3-4) to reach. Its the sort of travel time that gets some ED players annoyed. Would love to see their reactions dealing with a 10-15 minute flight.

Our supercruise was supposed to be like the original trailer. We THE PLAYERS demanded reality, and FD delivered. Same goes for the loving timer for ship transfers.

I love the "Uhhhh obviously your computer is a piece of poo poo, that's the only way Star Citizen could look that bad" arguments lol
