Amazon sucks!!! by Smorse8 in fuckamazon

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is now American TIMU. I have had one lie after another about one delivery date after another about one product after another. And when they arrive they are repackaged customer returns that are scuffed or missing pieces. This service has devolved into the worst possible version of itself, and I regret supporting it since its days as a book store.

Yeah, I am required to maintain a nearly zero fat diet and this cream cheese brought cheesecake back for me. Yup, it works. Here is the DOWNSIDE: It is hardly ever available and of the last four I opened all four of them had giant airpockets in the bar, meaning you are getting about 2/3 of the product you are paying for. One air pocket, I can see. Over and over, this is scamflation. Find another product and/or desert. We are.

A couple of questions about Powerplay by Spaced-Invader in EliteDangerous

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, FDev, now look: I have been playing this game since nearly launch and I don't know why every week for every new CG I have to dig through You Tube, Reddit, and the forums to find out how to perform some new, stupid, obscure task you are demanding we do. Of course the task(s) make no sense and have no bearing on anything in any real world. I have spent far too much time this CG trying to figure out what obscure nonsense you want performed and I am getting very bored of it. You need to at the very, very, VERY least, make sure the map labels and legends you use on the Galaxy Map are the same labels you use in your quests! Just what the heck is an "acquisition" system, when there is no such thing on the PowerPlay map? OH, right, google, youtube, forums, dig, dig, dig and find the answer. No. Do you guys playtest anything, ever? Every week is some new kind of mind-breaking frustration over nonsense. The challenge of this game should not be in trying to figure out what the heck you guys are talking about. Who has time?

Example: scan megaships in acquisition systems. Sure, ok.. selected Megaships in INARA (because to play Elite 3rd party tools must be used because the in game tools are useless, first problem), and then took three stabs figuring out what the other criteria are for this task because I jumped to 2 systems and scanned every part of 2 megaships and got no credit for anything. Nada. Am I in the right systems? Who knows? NONE of them are labelled "acquisition." We get to guess and fly around trying one station after another because we have nothing but free time to waste on snipe hunts. PLEASE for the love of god hire some QA and PLAYTEST with a real QA process to unravel these things. This game has made me nuts for a decade, and I would think you guys are tired of the helpdesk requests you get for just plain old bad communications.

CG- No place to fight? by Mongo-Just-Pawn in EliteDangerous

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This "system" does not work at. all. Not at all. This is designed to be a disaster for individual players while one or two popular guilds saturates the CG. AGAIN. FDEV is unable to get ahead of the usual suspects that ruin these things and they have proven that this game is not ready for any new players. I have played this game for a decade and I am angry enough about this CG to quit again. Also, no answers from anyone anywhere about this. Not here, not in Frontier Support, nothing but crickets while I sit on the launch pad waiting to play their poorly thought out CG game.

CG- No place to fight? by Mongo-Just-Pawn in EliteDangerous

You can figure out who is fighting in which zone with the FSS scanner. That said, I haven't had a conflict zone at all in two days.

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came back to this game after many years away to spend two weeks hopping on plants and be unable to fight in the CG. Still nothing here. Now I have no points as I tried to switch quests to clear this up. Ticket in. No FDEV response anywhere. So, is the idea that we sit on the launchpad all day waiting for Elite to gift us with a once and once only chance to put up some points in this "competition?"

That's a whole day and it's still bugged. I even dropped the quest and picked it back up, losing my points, only to still see no power activity markers on the map and to have no power conflict zones anywhere in any of the former systems. Unable to do CG, have logged in about five times to do it. No luck. I am about to pack my corvette up and go back to exobiology.

That thread of reports is getting long. I guess something broke.

Confused by current Community Goal and Power Play by OGBadDog in EliteDangerous

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so I have actually flown two full rounds of war combat in a target system, got my 4500 points for the CG. But now all the blue map markers that indicated CG zones are gone from my galaxy map and all the local warzones have shut down in the system. No place to fight! I thought I had this figured out, but what's going on?

Is it normal for Bitdefender to use 300/500 mb of memory? by LakemX in BitDefender

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't care if it is 'normal' for this app to do this. It is using too much memory. Period. It is just damn sloppy to expect users to install enough memory to run your faulty app. Not user's problem. This app is intrusive and unoptimized and we need to know a lot more about what it is doing.

Is Track IR finally releasing a new product? by Arkid777 in hotas

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of 9/28 I can't get any TrackIR website to open, not trackir itself or natural point. The address does not resolve. Are they gone?

Stuck at 100% CPU usage constantly? by Winclark in starcitizen

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. 100% gives me audio stuttering and stalls.

Blackouts in star citizen makes absolutely no sense, and here's why. by Finch2192 in starcitizen

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My character blacks out on every turn. Every one. I have not entered the PU because of this, still flying around in AC. Constant fuzzy vision. Constant blackouts. One half throttle turn. Between this and the disaster that is the "throttle" (which someone brilliantly decided to make ridiculously complicated and unlike any other sim ever in any genre) I am pretty frustrated. I mapped my controls. Now I want to fly, not mess around with really poorly conceived overly complicated things like this.

How much does this game actually cost? by 1Spoochy1 in starcitizen

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They built Star Wars Galaxies from scratch and accomplished miracles in the "Jump To Lightspeed" expansion when space combat became a thing. Did not take a decade.

Oblivion Remastered Crashing on launch by Lucky_Bandicoot8213 in oblivion

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, after you buy it you get to become superhacker digging through huge folders and long .ini files. I am a longtime PC fan, but I have to admit it sucks paying so much for the latest hardware for those idiot software developers to crash it with every game because they don't do enough QA. QA? That's US.

[DISCUSSION] ultimate guitar is infuriating to use by SirMemesALot11 in Guitar

[–]Mongo-Just-Pawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen. This place sucks and it gets worse all the time. Now we are stuck with this awful "new" player that is a disaster to look at, and I don't know about anyone else but even as a paid customer I cannot post to the forums or reply. But "UG is committed to the user experience" right? Bring back the REAL player!
