Oh wow. That has genuinely surprised me. He has done nothing but belittle and insult everyone right from the start. Good riddance to people like him. Kicks is also being a colossal dick as well.

Like I said it sucks that it means some have been cut out of this - but you know what? Horrid internet connectivity aside, I think many of the antagonists here will be quite happy playing the game given this decision.


Yes, I'm totally sure people will be HAPPY playing a game that can drop at any fucking time and leave them unable to play, at the whims of the developers who can institute any changes they feel like and be damned the paying customers. I'm certainly happy! Can't you tell? I'm DELIRIOUS with happiness! Even today, people playing the game were booted when the server went down.

GREAT FUCKING GAME, GUV'NOR.

Tolerance to bullshit? Me? Laughing

I just saw this coming a mile away and am not surprised in any way. I'm just afraid to say anything bad (or good) about ED and SC because there's always pricks like you attacking me straight away, nitpicking on every word I say about these games. I'm either a hater or a fanboy and in this case you're being extra hilarious, because I've been one of the few who's been saying that Frontier are no better than CIG.

But it's okay, I'll leave the thread again. I've got better things to do than this shit.


Hey mate, don't take it so personal. Wink

Oh, and calling me a prick... that's a no-no!

Jesus... the fucking asshole fanboys on the forum are trying to pretend that offline was never promised and that it was always online only. Someone please invent the "break fingers over the internet" button. The amount of scumbags that argue in defence of online-only DRM ("everyone has internet these days!") makes me sick to my stomach.

It was promised right from the get-go, and while many weren't happy with the whole "eghhhhhhh, you won't get all the nice universe changes if you play offline!" schtick, at least the option for offline was there. Brooke also confirms that offline was an option but is now 100% online only, in various posts. Subscriptions are *going* to happen. Of that much I am absolutely 100% certain; they're *going* to happen .. and likely soon too. The advertising, the "buy premium skins1111!!" stuff, the removal of all offline functionality - they need funds for the servers somehow and I'm absolutely convinced we'll see talk/announcement of subscription packages sooner rather than later. Then we'll also hear from RSI about how their planned private server implementation won't be released because Blah Blah Reasons.

Brooke posted earlier (I'll try and find it) about how the team doesn't want offline players to have access to the server software because the team doesn't want anyone knowing the secrets. Sound familiar? Same bullshit parroted on the RSI forums too.

We paid to test the game, and to receive a copy of the finished game at release.

Never said anything about not being sub-free Neutral You're right, I bet they pull that one out.

Michael, so what would it take hardware wise to run a "personal" server that you could connect to via LAN? I have a spare PC sitting around doing nothing or are we talking about needing terabytes of RAM and a dozen Xeon cores?

The problem here is that you'd have access to the server which isn't something we'd want to allow as it contains the secrets of the galaxy. Which was also an issue with an online version.

Michael


They never had any intention of allowing offline mode and, judging by their jealously guarded "secrets", modding was never an option either.

Yes. Kickstarter's Terms of Use require creators to fulfill all rewards of their project or refund any backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill. "


My reward of a Physical DRM-free collector's premium boxed edition of "Elite: Dangerous" can obviously not be fulfilled now.


I have already requested a refund. Lets see what bullshit they say about that.. If i get a reply!

I hope this stings FDEV, I really do. Not because I want the game or the company to fail, but I want them to understand that they cannot take millions in funds from people and then arbitrarily change their minds several years later. All this does is abuse Kickstarter and abuse those that sank money into the project. I genuinely wonder how much money was made from those that backed based solely on the option for playing offline?

Man I was about to buy this game yesterday too. No offline? fuck that. That was THE only reason I see myself playing this game over something like SC, because I could probably mod my own game and do whatever I want. Mods for games like this would be great.

I said it before and I'll reiterate it again; I hate gamers and I really fucking hate fanboys.

Can't say im suprised given the state of gaming atm, even when you help fund projects they still fuck you over.

They would have known long ago whether a key feature such as offline mode would have been available but obviously decided not to tell us cause they knew it would have financial concequences and that is the name of the game.

He's no better than Braben. They both might as well join forces with Derek fucking Smart now.

I was going to buy at least three copies for myself and my brothers. Money saved right there. I'm sure some sort of pirated version will pop up and I'll feel no remorse playing it.

hey, i dont agree with some things he did, but at least he was upfront since begining.
beside some dates for releasing feature, nothing was unexpected or 180 degree turn around.

But what is this about advertising? I have completely missed that, does it mean i can risk seeing adds for McDonalds or Coca Cola while flying around?

Personally I prefer to see ingame actual adds as long as they fit right (futuristic version) than having to pay a subscription fee to help servers maintenance.
(They don't have 60+M$ in dah bank like RSI here)

Now they should have learned after all these fuss about "online only" games, and they should have proposed an offline mode even if if would have been a tiny part of the universe with limited features, just to calm people down.

Also I tried offline mode in beta, honestly it felt so peaceful and lifeless that I didn't bother.
(if this can be of any help... )

But again, I understand people wanting offline mode, as griefers there are and more griefers there will be at game launch...
This is the only concern I have with online play, but if I understood correctly the online (solo play) will still be in, so I don't see any problem here.

Unless I missed something, microtransactions ? monthly subs ? overpriced DLCs ?

@Silent_Lurker

Two words;

Error 37.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be having a blast playing your solo game that demands a constant internet connection "because Reasons®" where the servers can go down because of DDoS, or maintenance, or updating, or because of any number of factors. You *like* paying for a solo game that you can only play when X Company dictates? As for microtransactions, subs, DLC, etc. Quite possibly, yes, and since they've locked it to online-only now.. there's fuck all you can do about it. If they decide their not making enough money from ship paint DLC (Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes) they could - and I'm absolutely certain they WILL - implement a monthly "premium" sub. And, again, there will be absolutely fuck all you can do about it. Suck it up. Pay up or leave. In the meantime, enjoy some fresh Coca Cola, brought to you by our sponsors!

The simple fact is; they promised full offline capability from Day 1. It was a selling point of their Kickstarter (ka~ching, $1.7m please) and it was touted weekly over the last two years while they sold a grossly overpriced $200 beta (ka~ching, another few million please) - it was even reiterated LAST WEEK that offline mode was available. They lied, repeatedly, then scammed their customers and there's nothing you can do about it.

Wonderful company.
