I only pre-order did not play/ download anything, even asked for the refund within 10 days of purchase... still getting the "personal" treatment.

Just got my email from support earlier this morning. They tried the same thing, asking me to reconsider. I flat out told them that my ISP is flaky and I get disconnected more often than I should. I put in tickets and issues just magically go away without them calling me back. Disconnect happened again last night while playing FC4 with a friend right before we wiped out a tough outpost.

Read an interview with Braben this weekend that seemed to suggest it was always meant to be designed as a multiplayer game.

Still, I have high hopes for this one.

What? people playing the last few weeks get to keep their gains? How the hell is that fair? I fully expected a complete wipe for launch and hence decided not to play until launch. Bunch of shits. Sad

They should have made the decision of wipe/no wipe at the start of the gamma.
I would have played the game if they said there would be no wipe.

It is that the game is fun because of the oculus, without it i would have regretted the buy.

Thought there would definately be a wipe and like most have not played much lately due to that very reason.

Still in a decent position though with a Cobra, 60 cargo capacity and 800k to play with.

Thank fuck we can finally play without another wipe so let the grind begin.

Wauw, what an overreaction! They decided not to wipe, OMG what a scumbag!! Rolling Eyes

Also why glad you were skcptical? The game finished in time, and they delivered what they promised, with the exception of 100% offline play.

Ask this to newcomers flying Sidewinders who will be griefed by assholes in their Cobra MK3/Anacondas in their very first step in the game.

@mvp Single player is a joke. Very Happy
More seriously, you can still play alone in a connected space, but what's the point ? ^^
Of course it will help to get the hang of it but it will feel too lifeless after a some time.

@Stormwolf That's it.

I agree it is a bit lifeless, but for new players its a good place to start to get a hang of the game, once done, you can go online.

Or you can start online and risk getting killed by a cobra

I should have never stopped playing Gamma 1.0 - I was pulling in an easy (one jump) 1400 cr x 24 units of gold in my hauler, which was around 33k a run. I got back into the game yesterday, that same profit yield is now 200 cr per unit - absolutely not worth it. Come to think of it, everywhere I went the profit yield on gold was more or less ~200 cr, within 100ly of where I started anyway.

Humped over to Sol, it's no more special than the rest of the galaxy. Shit missions, shit trade. Outfitted a Viper and camped a Nav beacon for bounties. After about 40 minutes I pulled in 26k when all was said and done. On quite a few occasions I spent more on multi-cannon ammo to kill the guy than his bounty was worth!

It's painful turning a profit now. Crying or Very sad

Welcome to Social Gaming® where thousands of other players influence your game, your market, your trade routes, your world... even when you play solo. Where prolific guilds can corner a market and prevent you from actually having any enjoyment.

Sad, but true. The thing is, Elite doesn't have the vibrant and alive environment Freelancer does, so without people, it'd be completely devoid, dead, and empty of anything. It's funny though, in playing about 10 hours I have yet to run across a single person in open play, not even on the scanners.

I've got half a mind to just jump 1000 ly or so in any direction, get in the middle of fucking nowhere, and try trading there. I have my doubts about the validity of their "economic simulation" though.

"Alternatively, of course we would be delighted to hear that you feel able to cancel your refund request. Please. We really didn't mean to upset anyone, and to be honest, we really need your money... the game just isn't what we were hoping to make, but we had no choice but to release it now as Lord Braben threatened us with no Christmas holidays if we didn't...

Please?"
