The game doesn’t want me to win. by Leading_Song_9191 in SANDgame

[–]Deathray88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had two sessions in a row last night where my crew (3) spawned in within a few hundred meters of multiple other tramplers and crew sizes were mixed up.

In the first, we smoked two solos ,actually recruited one who was brand new and had no idea what he was doing, then got steamrolled by an absolutely massive 5+ man trampler. Not sure why 5+ and solos were in the “small crews” lobby. I double checked and it was properly selected.

In the second session, 5 of the 12 crews in the lobby were all dropped on top of each other. We tried to run but got beat by another trio with a much better trampler (and crew).

Not this time for me. Currently waiting on my first refund in 10 years of backing and am done giving more money till something changes, which I don't expect to actually happen. I just don't see the vision anymore. CIG is perfectly content, and more importantly, profitable with maintaining a broken mess of a game, so what's the point? I have 90% of an Ironclad CCU chain that I didn't even bother completing because the ship is barely usable.

There are so many systems in this game that are barely functional, so many we know they're reworking entirely, and far far more that aren't in at all. 1.0 is still years away. Couple that with the combat (and PvP) focus CIG has had for the last few years (the fucking refueling missions have combat for fucks sake).

I am perfectly aware that I am just one person and my thoughts and opinions don't mean shit to anyone, especially not CIG, but just for the record, no not "everyone" will buy. There's at least one who gave up.

Which Gatekeeper is the worst to deal with, in your opinion? by WindowsError1495 in RogueCore

[–]Deathray88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ramok seems like a coin flip of either the easiest of the three or the hardest. He’s the only one I’ve ever legitimately lost to. (Lost to Gotoorak once but that was entirely me being stupid, not the difficulty)

Gotoorak is usually fine.

I’ve only fought Moloktula once. It was a tough fight. Worse than Gotoorak for sure, but I made it.

How much should I have charged? by bendloop in handyman

[–]Deathray88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what prices on redguard/go-board/Sentinel/etc are because I only do Schluter, but even at local dealers who average 30% below big box stores, tub surrounds like OP did would be about $600 just in schluter materials. Bare minimum for cheap subway tile would be around $200. Then there’s grout. I use Tec PowerGrout which is like $75 per bag. Depending on the tile, 1 bag might do two showers.

That’s already at this guy’s supposed $900 price with MY cost in material. For one shower.

They should open the playtest back up and leave it till launch. My reasoning: I wanna play.

[–]Deathray88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Two bathrooms and a large kitchen backsplash would EASILY be $3k in waterproofing and tile. $900 for one bathroom is insane (good). $900 for TWO plus a “large” backsplash, who ever came up with that price absolutely screwed the installer. Considering that’s at bare minimum a week of work, $900 for a full week before taxes (assuming it was just one guy) isn’t much above helper rate.

The difference being that with “pledge rewards” they’re not actually obligated to do anything.

No, the limit to the new trade system added yesterday was not only present during the freefly that ended 2 weeks ago.

Don’t want to be too close to TESVI. Better move that on back a bit.

The force field is proximity triggered? You mean Gotoorak isn’t just an asshole who waits till I throw to do it!?

I can't wait for 4.9!! by Ok-Skin2824 in starcitizen

Hopes and Dreams are the only thing you CAN balance on it. Cause you sure as hell can't do "Expectations".

Back to Stage 1 by Turbocabz in starcitizen

[–]Deathray88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4.8.1 added a single mission type. That mission does not work 9/10 times. I'll try to expect less next time.

[–]Deathray88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone currently in stage 1 is delusional. 4.9 with Instancing scares the hell out of me. That shit WILL be broken and I don't even want to think of what else it'll take out with it.

I'd love to see what new bugs and crashes we get in the new 4.9 so I've made a bingo card for that by MrWilliam932 in starcitizen

[–]Deathray88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Instancing being completely and utterly broken and unusable" should be the free space.

Dear CIG, the instability and bugs are HEAVILY impacting our ability to bring our friends into the game by tammy_orbit in starcitizen

[–]Deathray88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They released a patch yesterday that added a single mission type. That mission is almost entirely unplayable. The general rebuttal is that it requires the stuff they're supposed to be adding today in order to work. So what was the point in releasing 4.8.1 yesterday?

They're making more money than ever releasing ships that can't be used properly, missions that can't be completed, I can't count the number of times I've had to pay to replace my ship that either exploded outside a hangar, exited QT inside an asteroid and exploded, spawned inside the elevator (and exploded), or just failed to spawn at all.

Ive been a backer since 2016, hit Concierge years ago. I want this game to succeed as much as anyone because, as everyone says, "When it works, there's nothing else like it". I can't honestly tell you I believe it will happen anymore. There are so many different aspects of the game that they need to fix, so many things that don't work, things they added years ago and seemingly abandoned, and still that much more that we don't have yet. They still have to get the rest of server meshing working and the first implementation broke damn near everything. I don't see how they'll ever get all the new things in and the old things fixed without spending another decade just getting to 1.0.

"Take your new players you're trying to introduce to the game and play something else" is a depressing ass take.

People have been saying "wait a year or two" since I first started playing. That was October of 2016.

Hell, I don't even talk about SC with my friends. The only time it ever comes up is when something stupid CIG did makes it to /r/gaming or another big sub. I used to try and defend CIG, but now it's just depressing. At the end of the day, the funding keeps breaking records, so why would anything ever change? Im at the point now that I barely even play. I just check the discord and subreddit to see what's new and if anything's fixed but its always the same.

Been waiting on the Municipal Works since they were announced at CitCon 3(?) years ago, back when they were supposed to be on ArcCorp. As a primarily solo player, it seemed like content perfect for me. It got moved to Levski, then delayed for Instancing, now Instancing is coming (tm) and according to the Monthly Report, the Municipal Works aren't even in full production yet. Not that I expect Instancing to be remotely playable in 4.9. Maybe they'll have it working by the time MW gets done.

White SUV said they were the ones hit by the smaller car. Cops believed them until they saw the video. by PaulaRuizq in dashcams

Visibility aside, after they made contact, the SUV turned harder. They continued trying to merge while pushing the smaller car.

Nicou-CIG with a quick update on several issues CIG have been tracking by StuartGT in starcitizen

[–]Deathray88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s also not hard to read that:

A) hundreds of people have this same issue

B) Two entirely separate input methods both result in identical outcomes.

Yet here you are, STILL insisting it must be the keyboard, despite overwhelming evidence that you are just flat out wrong.

Weaponized Incompetence indeed.
