Everytime I see footage of CIGs AI and gun fighting it's just atrocious. I did a random search on YouTube and watch this poo poo, it's just so bad and the fact that they're pretending to make these advanced AI changes is just a joke when even the very basics don't work.

Anyone not familiar with game dev, this is an incredible achievement in gaming history albeit the very beginning of major improvements.

-You just witnessed a player accept a dynamically generated mission.
-He then flew from a planets atmosphere into space to meet a space yacht with two bandit fighters engaging, one in which he shot off an engine off of.
-He then disembarked out of his ship and witnessed infantry enemy NPC pirates engaging security NPCs while inside another vehicle in space that technically can be flying.
-He then shot these enemies from space while flying in an EVA suit.
-He then proceeds to board in 1 of many ways while also being able to see inside the ship from the outside.
-Hes now walking in the interior of an intractable (albeit limited) ship performing infantry combat with NPCs.


All without a freaking loading screen, in an online persistent universe where you can go anywhere, with AAA high-end graphics in an Alpha state game.

As a gamer who has been playing games for 34 years since I was 3-4 years old and who has dabbled for 10 years in game dev/modding, this is loving impressive tech. I've been a backer since 2013. Great video man.

Speaking of progress on the periphery... cart pushing

Mounted guns. You know that thing that has to be in that one section of every fps game ever made? Yeah they have that now (tier 0)

Also they are actually still mentioning Theaters of Bore. The one guy is like, it's really great working on assets that will be in 3 games, citizer, theaters and sq54. To which I think, imagine failing to make 3 games at the same time.

They really did miss a trick by not just leaning in to their godawful engine and turning this into a slow burn psychological horror game lol

This is Tony Zurovec. Tony's an in-depth idea guy. Where Chris Roberts looks at the high level overall design, TonyZ goes into granular detail. He's the guy who thinks about who that NPC is, why they are there, how they got there, where are they going next, what do they interact with, etc. TonyZ is one of those guys who can talk at length about everything, just ask him a question and let him go.

I believe officially he's the overall director for the Persistant Universe (the mmo portion of the game). It's great hearing him speak as he's got great passion and interesting stuff to say.

Why didn't the space bulldozer just push the crashed fighter into the hanger so they could retrieve the pilot and salvage the fighter? Why did it have to push the fighter overboard? Why did the fighter even fall when pushed overboard? They're in the space, and the fighter has the same momentum as the ship after the crash. Doesn't Wing Commander have tractor beams? Why didn't the carrier just tractor beam the damaged fighter, or the wreckage of the fighter after pushed overboard?

Like for example, pulling junk from CIGs site:

The Hull E has 98,304 cargo capacity.

The Constellation has 96 cargo capacity.

I don't even know how in a multiplayer game any of this is going to be able to be balanced, especially if they have stuff where some ship can crater an economy for everybody else.

Every aspect of this poorly thought out game is all about first come first serve, and everything after that is just wallowing in the broken concepts CIG "made".

I just guess I don't understand how if these people are actually wanting to play a video game sometime aren't throwing up this junk at CIG, and obviously not continuing to spend money on it because the pay to win nature of it is set up in such a way that once you have paid to win every action you do in the game itself is this tremendous "you winned!" scenario that makes you effectively too rich to do anything but buy everything and just effectively give it all away because money is meaningless.

The end game scenario for players is effectively destruction of the game itself.

This is the first come first serve nature though. You got to be that person that makes that first big bank before you topple the market for everybody behind you. Once you do that you won. Also once you do that it's Bengals for new players left and right because you destroyed the economy and winned all the money of the universe. You can keep going but why bother.

The hilarious piece of that is all the gold farmers and ship black market types will only have a very brief blip of a window when their products are in high demand before players are just throwing ships around at each other like candy.

A lot of the real money ships only comes with 6 month insurance or no insurance at all. How their customers are going to react when they lose their 800$ ship to a griefer five minutes after the game releases we will never know, because the game will never release and the ship insurance thing is just a way for CIG squeeze out a little extra from their whales.

Also I don't mean to be rude but if you haven't worked on games you probably really don't know what a game engine is or what advantages one has over another.

Lots of people jump to conclusions about game engines.

How dare any of you enjoy videogames. They are art. They are to be endured and hung up in museums. They are to be mocked, criticised, derided, bought and refunded, thrown straight into the trash and dusted off again when the artist dies. I am appalled and shocked at the sight of some of you. Gawping at trailers and salivating over the promise of enjoying a product. You fools. You rubes without sense, you are lost. A videogame is something to be projected onto your garden wall and pondered about, as if one was considering the fate of an idiot child without a scholarship. For shame. I hope some of you realise that to enjoy a game is to miss the entire point of them. They are expressions of agony, and we make sense of our own torturous day to day actions through them.

People who perform the act of gaming are committing themselves to self flagellation. Those who stream and broadcast their experience are trying to reach a new height of artistic appreciation, they share what they play for the betterment of all. By which I mean they devalue the human experience, they stub out the cigarette of existentialism upon our faces and turn the heel in sharp ninety degree angles as the ash works its way into the mottled skin of gamers everywhere. How dare you enjoy videogames. The very nerve of it.

Anyway that concludes our tour of the the studio here at CIG.

All characters are unique and mortal in this game, there is no respawn of NPC's if you kill the Imperator it goes on your record until the day you die, and there will be a new election for another Imperator. You will be hunted by the NPC factions for the rest of your life in the game. There is intrigue and history and you could be a part of that history. Personalities - Jax McCleary for example.

Hi there, I'm Anaryl, I'm the ebst player in the game.

You might remember me from such patches as 0.8, 2.6, 3.0 or 3.10. I'm the guy who kicks your rear end in a way you describe as "exploiting" and "cheesing".

Let me set things straight for the record. You lot have successfully managed to ostracize yourselves by continually seeking to make everyone else's experience terrible. The fact that you have successfully managed to create an echo chamber consisting of what? 50 players in as game with 2 million backers is not an indicator of success.

Additionally, I've just straight up been letting you guys dig this hole since 0.9.

I personally cannot wait until private matches are back. You dipshits will remove yourselves from the mainstream and go back to being the bush league scrubs I've always known you all to be.

The fact that you lot need to talon gank - and then take these victories seriously, is indicative of insecurity. Oh EvE vets be like "If its a fair fight you're doing it wrong" - but EvvE vets are not PvP vets, not in an FPS game. Nobody gives a gently caress how long you stared at MS Excel bro.

For the record though, I would like to thank you guys for being such willing training bots. I don't know how you let me manipulate you into being my training bots, but thanks. Seriuously, you guys trained evilOrg just because I told you to. We're well beyond the point where you guys have free will, I've hemmed you guys into a limiterd movespace where every possible reaction can be predicted by me.

So what do you want, Anaryl, we already know that you are remarkably better than us, I hear you say. Of course I am, I've hit my ten thousand hours.

This community has no relevance to PvP. I look at the moderators, and I laugh.

https://imgur.com/a/zItNjV9

I mean, poo poo fellas, after 7 years, you guys still think this works on me?

Here's an idea, if you all want to be taken seriously, why don't you all get fkn gud? Your bronze league whining has not only become insufferable, but threatens to distort the game in order to cater to your tab targeting roots. Some of us can understand vector math and aim. The rest post here.

I don't mean to be harsh, it's just that in any serious PvP community, you pricks would be laughed off any forum.

Personally, I playewd BF2, 2142 and SupCom competitively, invariably hitting the top percentile globally. Complaints that this or that is OP are usually discarded once suitable counters are found. But yet you lot fly talons and complain about getting missiled. Welcome to the meta.



What's clear to the *actual* PvP community is that most of you are not only incapable of winning an even fight, but that the exhibition of double standards; and the use of exploits demonstrates conclusively that we live in a two tiered community. There's ignorant theory crafting leeads and then there's delusional gankers who worship their own dogfood.

https://imgur.com/a/zItNjV9

I wouldn't normally care in a Live scene, but in an alpha, this kinda bullshit kills the community. I'm better than all of you, but I can't be everywhere at once.

You guys are hilarious. This bush league bullshit will no longer stand.



"So what do you want, Anaryl?"



Here's your new marching orders.

You will all start seeding Squadron

You will unredact and consolidate

All combat activities in PU will cease until such a time as it is remotely viable again

Eviction of all players I deem unworthy of community protection

Revocation of all misinformation about combat (literally your entireframework) - I will provide a new one.

Suck my dick, I guess, you pecking order sheep

Experiment and extensively document the Hurricane

Can we not do the thing where you guys spend months denying that you're doing my will. Seven years guys, let's drop the pretense.

Do you pricks want to git gud, or do you want to keep LARPing on everyone that you have the remotest notion that you know what you're doing?
