It's a beta, a real beta, but it's being marketed as if it were a released product.
The discontinuity is palpable.
Every time I see another general audience ad or a special sale I have to work harder to remind myself that this isn't a real game yet and it's ok to have all these broken and missing parts.
And I've been here for nine months. The new guys don't have that experience as a counterweight. NEWS FLASH: ITS NOT A REAL BETA I have yet to see a single fix or improvement that other game betas were not capable of, the only difference here is CCP is slow to the punch and the beta is in 1+ year of 'development' And by development I mean, they ran out of cash and are now milking the hardcore fanbois for every cent they can get out of them b/c they can't get a releasable version in time.
Just because the fixes aren't implemented right now, doesn't mean that they aren't working on it.
NEWS FLASH: YOU ARE NOT A PROGRAMMER
Shut up and let them do their job.
When it gets closer to release, they will implement fixes and what not to make the game closer to what they planned. This isn't a real beta? WTF, haven't you read the top of the screen when you brought the game up, IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE.
Just because games like BF3 and CoD want to release their games and do fixes as they are played(with a "finished" product) Doesn't mean that is what CCP wants to focus on. Give them time...yes it has been a year in Beta..but good things come to those who wait.... |

Give them time...yes it has been a year in Beta..but good things come to those who wait.... you have got to be brand new here. You'll learn soon(tm) enough that what your promised won't ever come. Or if it does, it so long aways that by the time you do get you've since moved on. Oh the moxy of a new forum warriror. Good luck keeping that attitude up as CCP proves to dissapoint over and over and over and over....
Sorry to disappoint. I am not new here, I have been here, maybe not since the beginning, but I have been here long enough to see them work in many features since early September. Just because they don't work in everything you want, don't get all pissy about what they are doing. Also, saying I am new here when you still belong to a NPC corp, well that just makes me chuckle inwardly. I don't post unless I have something relevant to say, that is, a horse that hasn't been beaten to death. If your looking for instant gratification, go play BF3 or CoD, or whatever other game your fickle mind takes you too. CCP never does anything quickly for the simple fact that when you rush something you make mistakes. |
