Bjorn: "Im no cheerleader" posted:

I wont deny that they havent met many of their goals and sure the articles had quotes in it that strictly were not wrong. As for expectations I personally see this game churning out an appropriate amount of content (whether we see it in updates or not), and no crying was done on my end, simply corrections from your biased sources of information. As for the company being profoundly off the rails, I would go as far as saying its more on rails than most other large companies these days.
I'm no game developer but can you honestly tell me that you expected a game of this scale to have been fully finished and polished in two years? Hell, looking at even the new elder scrolls having an estimated release of 2019, thats 8 years after the release of skyrim with an established and massively funded company. Do you see anyone complaining about this? I think the only mistake CIG has made is actually sharing their development with its backers, which for the first year or so was used to improve the game and get our opinions, but now all the company gets is "we deserve this, we paid for this, youre not giving us what we want".

Like I said previously, compared to other unfinished games that get pushed out the door due to publisher deadlines, I would much rather the delays and get a complete game in the end.

To address your concerns (simply because of others who might read this), sure they changed a few things like the singleplayer campaign being only co-op on some missions, due to the campaign being extremely story driven, (I for one would rather a rich story than the ability to play through with a friend at all times), and if you really wanted to play multi then thats what we get from the MMO no? No one complains about game changes when its something they like, as in the new procedurally generated planets instead of cinematic planetary cuts, why dont you complain and ask for a refund for that design change huh? This isnt what they promised us right? I deserve my cinematic. The game is dynamically changing because of what the majority seem to want and you cant have everything, certain sacrifices need to be made.

One thing people need to understand that even if its crowd funded, you arent entitled to anything. You donated money as support, and will receive a consumer end product when the time comes. If its not exactly to your standards or what you wanted, why dont you start up a company and make your own game? Thats what Chris did and I'm supporting his visions. Personally I think the company should stop taking input from self entitled kids like you and just spend all their focus on creating the game they have right now.

As for the private servers, do you really think theyre going to spend time and money on something like this when theyre already under enough flak for not having the core game up to the supposed "standard" its supposed to be at? Also all modding tools are provided free as stated on the stretch goals. (see 4 million)

Dont quote me on this but I did some follow up reading and it seems the whole deal with Star marine is the fact that Illfonic (an external developer) seems to not have been able to complete the contract on their end, and CIG just had to take it up themselves but didnt have the resources to spare to work on it at the same pace Illfonic was, and thus the current hiatus. Would you not also be annoyed when people keep complaining about every single thing youre doing and just wont listen even when responses to the situation are being given?

As for the ships, once again your self entitlement knows no bounds, they are focusing on developing the content that they need for the SQ42 campaign so they can get it done and dusted as soon as possible. While were at it why dont they spend huge time and resources on getting the fourth alien race fully fleshed out huh? Its not like they have enough on their plate right? My entitlement says I need every aspect of the game done at my beck and call right? I put in my $30 right? Why dont you go work for an hour or two and get your $30 back and be done with it? And those �nonsense� features? Are you trying to make a joke? People did a MAJORITY VOTE and this came out to be on top. Seriously if you want a game that�s tailored to yourself why don�t you go do your own kickstarter?

For the rest of your ramble about basic game features and such, once again who said they need to have everything completed in the order you want it to be? What if development had been reversed and they spent time completing game mechanics but no ships had been designed or no squadron 42? People would be complaining all the same. The game is in a state where they arent focusing on us getting our trade and cargo, they're focusing on finishing the singleplayer campaign which was their ORIGINAL plan. Aswell as the usual that people don�t get, its an alpha to test certain mechanics as they need tested, its NOT a full game for you to be enjoying right now.

Since you like to mention stretch goals and what we all so kindly deserve, these actors (and the mocap that you "didnt pledge for") that Chris was "gallivanting" about to get done, was a stretch goal we voted for no? (check 5 million) Why do you complain about certain things being changed from what they were and others being done as promised? Can you be any more self indulged and inconsistent?

Again Squadron 42 was intended for a REALLY long time to be cut into a three part series, nothing new, stop bringing up random things to add to your self gratified rant. Maybe if we had less people like SavageHenry complaining about everything they can get their hands on, the developers could actually get the things done that they have planned.
Im no cheerleader, merely just correcting personal opinions to facts. I wont be screenshotting anything since I couldn�t care less what you think (in fact I hope you forget about star citizen since the community could do without people like you), however I will be enjoying a fully finished game when the time comes, hopefully without people like you.

Nah, with the DDOS module on the Endeavor...those are merely check boxes on how they want to spread NPC bots around within the verse.

Fortunately they clipped out of the verse and this fine place is functional once again.

While I agree with you, I'm going to offer a different narrative. Comments such as those he made are shall we say below the line.

He is forced to make these declarations to hang onto his livelihood. What are his alternatives? What company that offers insurance would hire him? In short, he realizes this job is a paying job...the other alternative is disability. He is a witty guy and I assume knows his options. That's why he is the corporate shill and spews things to hang onto something that makes him feel worthy of something. I'd do it too.

Doesn't excuse his behavior though. And there are another myriad of details factored into this. But the sad facts remain, he is not employable based on size. A few years ago he could have got by.

In other words, this is all he has and he strikes out.

my other kitty! He was abused as a kitten and hasnt been right since.
My brother got him and he couldnt deal with it, then my mother, and I am his last.
He had an issue with getting nervous and never being seen (not allowing people to touch him/pet), as well as peeing outside the littler box (hence the pads you see). Thankfully with me I am able to actually pet is belly and with a proper diet - diabetic cat food he has stopped peeing and has become a normal cat. Well as normal as he could be.

The Air Force absolutely hates pure attack aircraft. If it doesn't have an F or a B in front of its name, it can gently caress off as far as they're concerned. That's why they hate the A-10 so, so much and just had to call the Nighthawk a fighter.
