lol can I get this hello post stickied in the refunds sub or something because I've had like a dozen random people accuse me of altering this or whatever to tank ship sales hahaha

TheAgent posted:

well boy howdy and hello

"server meshing" in its original form is scrapped completely as of Q4 2020

"no possible way to make it work" with thousands of players in a single instance

going forward, areas will be partitioned into about 100 players although "might be less"

this is not per system but per arbitrary "zone," that might include planetary bodies, outposts, platforms, etc

currently this is working in test bed internals (lol yeah okay we'll loving see)

this will be downplayed as "tier 0" or "test version" but will see "no significant improvements"

being handled by Turbulent who immediately scrapped the earlier designs and brought in new ideas

Pyro is coming "very, very soon" read: by end of year/next two patches (lol yeaaaah okay)

"Our next updates skew heavily towards combat and improving the [PvE] combat experience."

devs feel that PvP griefing "has been solved" and no further development time will be allotted for griefing issues

there's yet another quest system internal redesign happening

this might cause older quests to be dropped or reworked (what quests lol)

some of these new quests will be labeled "quick action"

these pit players directly into action with PvE actors with little to no travel times

there will be no "quick action" for PvP players -- "that's Theaters of War" (I still think ToW is a goner, but whatever)

there will be no capital ship PvP -- things "might change" if their servers can handle it

larger ships (crew of 30+) will never encounter another player capital ship by design

"The [capital ship] system is a God-drat loving mess."

yet another new player experience is in the works

this "tutorial" allows new players to explore without fear of PvP in their own sharded system

"At the end of the questline -- if you decide to leave -- everything will be normal, including flagged for PvP."

existing backers can go back and experience this content

players in this shard have a limited credit cap but can rent different ships for reduced cost

requires no ship package or purchase in order to access (????)

there's a new group finder in the works with "some" automated process

this will allow like minded players to group up easily across servers/zones

new group flagging will disable friendly fire attacks

grouping system will "more easily show" players you've grouped with

UI redesign of the grouping system, chat, and HUD is in the works since early 2019

"The design of the original mobiass [sic] is very dated."

this is also being handled by Turbulent

Chris Roberts and his family take "about ten percent" of all incoming revenue

this was a decrease from previous years

edit oh I left one off about the grouping system that was pretty cool

you can set your spectrum account to allow others to join your in-game group directly from the forums

Done with your lying bitch mouth you gently caress. You wrote this during the panel and I know it. You weasel stink gob. You chariot of lies. Wheels on wheels on wheels. gently caress you. Stupid fat gently caress worthless fat gently caress weasel. Eat my shite you cum faucet bitch. Liar.

If you could give them the timestamp or whatever that would be great oh and

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star system, you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us alight

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?

Where are you now?
Atlantis, under the sea, under the sea
Where are you now? Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded, I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded

Although no death threats this time!

That's good because these are coming through like, an email associated with my real identity. I didn't tell anyone here (except Bootcha) but the leak email is dead and done. Closed down and sent away to the protonmail Gods. No more juicy leaks besides those people I know in person -- so any "hello" from now on will be from actual people I know, get drunk with, and let them completely rant against how loving everyone leading this project is completely corrupt and inept (like the good old days of 2016).

I've also moved across the motherfucking country so my heady LA/OC development days are long gone.

Don't expect many "hello" posts in the future, is what I'm trying to say, I guess.

So i never have to worry about my RSI Orion being ganked in PVP! Mostly because it will never be functionally implemented, but if it ever is it's immune to ganking!

I'm a little confused.

When I played games in the arcade's back in the 80s, the games often told me winners don't use drugs.

Now it seems like Star Citizen is telling me that the winners are using drugs?

Can anyone explain this to me?

You're not going to call Chris Roberts a loser, now are you?
Remember, he ~~was a small and ultimately troublesome cog in the far more talented team that~~ made ~~a minority portion of~~ the Wing Commander games. How can that guy be a loser? What kind of evil fudster would want to paint him as one?

Honestly, I do have urges for interstellar resource gathering and production to sell on a market. Though I'm not sold that that's a possibility in any reasonable time frame here. Something is going to come out more thought out and flat out more fun before this thing 'launches'; maybe 3 more No Mans Sky updates
