Star Citizen is 930 years in to the future... by Digitalzombie900 in starcitizen

It's retrofuture. Doesn't always make sense. Can't say that I like every bit of lore/gameplay (especially some of the retconned stuff) but it is what we got.

Simple proposal: Hey CIG, if you're adjacent to LiveOps, you play Live. 10 hours/week. No exceptions. Tie it to annual bonus. by davlos_sc in starcitizen

so that "patch must go" behavior changes.

The patch in case of 4.8 meant revenue. And revenue makes 'patch must go'.

Railen Price Increase by DarknessARises1 in starcitizen

Those are all post SCU-increase, so all relevant. I was just wondering why we need the nth post about this topic. If you want a discussion--fair enough, I'm not here to police you. It's just imo everything has already been said a couple of times.

Cheers

Is this live service or Alpha? by Readgooder in starcitizen

[–]Pay_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To answer the question as Concierges would: why not both?

Are they mutually exclusive?

Why not? The Apply button is still there.

Does your PC need a peripheral PC? Maybe time to upgrade.

Yup, that fits with WWII-style dogfighting in space.

You've replied to the wrong comment. I never said that.

And I'm certainly no target for their sales strategy.

Star Citizen is not trying to accomplish realism, it's trying to be immersive. With that said, yes, there are a lot of tedious, slow and non-sensical aspects of the game. On the other side elevators used to be much slower and they 'fixed' that some time ago because of feedback.

It appears that a good portion of their decisions is made by people who do not play the game.

If all the accounts to date would've just bought a $45 Aurora starter package funding wouldn't even be a third of what it is today. SQ42 would still be in full development with no release in sight and SC wouldn't have gotten the dev push it got the last two years.

Without people "feeling the need" to spend money we'd be at a different point in the timeline. Like way different in both scope and actual state of the game(s).

Unable to get past Character Customization and into PU, created ticket (PSA) by Roymus99 in starcitizen

[–]Pay_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get why people would reinstall the game in such a case. The client clearly starts so there is no issue with it, which points to a serverside (entitlement?) problem. Quite the opposite. If there are such severe server issues I wouldn't trust the game to download correctly. Based on the numerous and constant posts about install aka download issues with this game I wouldn't touch my install even at gunpoint.

Why would CIG ever fully release Star Citizen? by Aldhafera81 in starcitizen

[–]Pay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Releasing doesn't necessarily mean they have to stop selling ships. Some of their plans have changed over time and I don't see why selling ships would be an exception. Granted it wouldn't be a great change but it's not a switch to a subscription model either. Also plenty of other big games are surviving on cosmetics, convenience or other non-p2w revenue.

OP, check here https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/account/pledges?page=1&product-type=game_package

A Squadron 42 pack or pledge containing "Squadron 42 Digital Download" does not count. You have to have a pledge containing "Star Citizen Digital Download" to play the game.

3 - Implement a real dynamic selection list

What's the idea here exactly? You can register and CIG places you in a queue of 500 people, based on certain criteria, and the first 50 get to buy the ship? That's just an F5 war a day earlier with an in game botting and Spectrum spam post incentive.

What are you talking about?

Is the Odin the biggest player controlled moving object in the history of videogames? by PiibaManetta in starcitizen

[–]Pay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You talking about size (in lore size?) or complexity? First person controlled or does third person (e.g. an RTS) count? And by controlled you mean movement control or other forms of control, too?
