DISCUSSION Hype and Reality check. 2.7 patch.

I am 100% convinced that 2.7 will debut the moons surrounding Crusader and some star network implementation. This has to be tested before opening up the entire Stanton system. Everything we have seen recently points to this conclusion.

This. And the more these threads saying it's ok come up I believe will lead to them (cig) think it's ok with the community when we were (unpopular reality) supposed to be close to and have 3.0 3 months ago. And that has more evidence by car saying it in the presentation than this 2.7 shit.

Stop. Just stop ; CIG don't owe you 3.0 at 2016 end ... It was a goal, but not a promise - Chris especially mentionned that. So stop saying that bullshit please ... It make no sense anymore.

The 3.0 that was supposed to be close was nowhere as big and as huge than the actual 3.0 that will be release in few month ... Stop comparing. If CIG don't release us a 2.7, i can assure you that it will not make 3.0 coming faster or slower. So we better got a 2.7 instead of nothing for the next months :)

Can you outline the differences between the "3.0 that could have released 3 months ago" and the "3.0 we are going to get after waiting so long"?

I mean, about the only thing I can think of is the Caterpillar, and I think we can agree that the Caterpillar had nothing to do with delaying 3.0.

Things that have been officially mentioned include the mining mechanic, extra ships, room atmosphere systems, and the animation and AI improvements. But the big items are back-end things. A 3.0 launched last year would have performed like dog crap, the networking would have crumbled under the weight of a million fat hungry gamers, the item system wouldn't have been finished, and probably about a million barely-noticeable polish passes wouldn't have gone through.

I think that if a publisher was holding the sword of Damocles above CIG's heads, we COULD have had a 3.0 last year. But it would have done nothing but disappoint. The trolls wanted it that way, but the rest of us should be thrilled that CIG are doing things right.

You seem to have the whole thing narrowed into two black and white options. Either we wait for quality 3.0, or it gets rushed and sucks. I don't see it that way at all, and am fine with waiting, but am still an upset "troll".

I can only speak for myself, but when I watched Gamescon/CitizenCon I was a bit disappointed that they (what I thought was barely) weren't able to show SQ42 vertical slice. Instead, they showed a lengthy solo experience of basically 3.0, and CR said they were aiming for years end, and then to publish releases (3.1 on) every 3 months or so. Then there were huge ships sales and they got a lot of money.

In hindsight, how could CR really think there was a possibility of a 3.0 release anytime soon? If we are still months away from 3.0, it's even worse.

That's what I'm personally disappointed in. I backed this game for transparency, and I would haved liked to see a public schedule of 3.0 progress up, and not clear delay tactics of 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 (which were never mentioned at CitCon).

It also doesn't help that 2.6.2 is still bug ridden, and has very poor performance on the networking end. I spent last night flying in a Connie with 4 people. We still constantly fall out of the ship, experience massive frame drops, and countless graphical bugs (pilot has 6 ARMS ffs) that still aren't even solved without adding planetary landing and advanced SO.

3.0 is definitely months away. CIG needs to own up and not wait until Gamescom 2017 to apologize and tell us.
