100% Overdriving the Marketing, Couldn't agree more.
Yeah it bothers me that we don’t have a choice to be the bad guy
Helldivers 2 did an actual dynamic event. Mechs are here but if you want to keep it, liberate Tien Kwan. I would have loved to see what happen if it was failed.
Then there would have been no mechs lol
One positive I've seen is the random groups getting formed up in open chat and sharing the mission. The cons are buggy AI NPC enemy's, same as the 9Tails, way too many iterations of the "hacking" mechanic. I have this feeling I'm going have missed some piece of the overall mission and it will have been for not. My recommendation is once you clear the bunker, the XenoThreat counter attacks from the surface, you have to bring up the station defenses while the download takes place. Thanks again sharing for your thoughts. Great video.
That sounds like a good idea too
would be pretty cool if the token was able to apply to your ship in game, not just from the shop on the account hanger. make it an account inventory item, one time use in game to upgrade your ship. until the game actually goes live you get back after a wipe, unless we are able to keep our in game ship purchases. win win for all. you can upgrade your hanger ship and/or have the option to upgrade your in game ship if you don't buy in the online shop
also a good idea
I mean, I`ve always noticed that CIG focuses on marketing more than anything, money is the name of the game, and they are Pros at it.
Like checking their "trailers" and the actual "game", the effort is night and day difference, I feel it`s similar to those mobile games ads.
That’s a fair point
Completely agree. We all need to call out the Marketing. Game going to be amazing but Marketing always has the potential to ruin everything.
Share the video if you can spread the word
We've had 10-11 sales so far this year. This is the second time this year we've had two sales running concurrently. The F8C sale was the precursor to all of this.
If this is how their "game" events are going to be after launch, we've wasted 10+ years of faith on the wrong company.
Yeah they’ve have to change some things for sure
yeah this is the 2nd event like this? the new meta is you do this event and the reward is giving them money lol xD "Congratulations you won and beat back Xenothreat!!! that will be $150.00 thank you"
Cig is the first enemy and the last
@@marcuswynn89 soon it will be 25 bucks if you want the do jt, then 35 for SoO lol. per time it runs
Lol
For me it has nothing to do with not being able to afford to buy ships in the store. I got VKB sticks and everything, but still only have an Aurora as a over ten year backer. To me any extra ship bought is just paying to skip content.
I don't really feel alienated, as this is how it's always been and is the funding model for the game. And as someone who wants to stick to a starter pack all the way to release, knowing I will be able to earn basicly all ships I want then is great.
If I get to keep the CCU in my hangar and at some point post release can apply it to a ship earned in game that is good, otherwise I'll take the three day rental and still be excited to have a fun event to do with my org leading up to 3.23 and Invictus.
They implied they will repeat this event in the future. I expect the complaints then just shift to how the ship isn't as rare or limited like witht he F8C. It's all just fomo marketing that works really well and I absolutely prefer it over a lot of other monetization models. I'm totally looking forward to the day when I'll earn my F7A MK II permanently without spending any money, I think it'll feel great.
Also dynamic events will surely come when the game systems are more prepared to handle them.
fair point
CIG had no need to do this event. Releasing the F7C alone would have provided fantastic sales. The F7A is doing nothing but creating an unnecessary power creep and craze over a ship that will not only fuck over balance, but force CIG to inevitably walk back this ship in some manner to not invalidate the rest of the roster of fighters they've created. Not to mention, this opens up the possibility of the F8A, which would absolutely ruin any chance of there ever being any semblance of balance for this game ever again short of giving every single ship in the game at minimum a +1 in hardpoint sizes.
This also completely ruins their perspective of trying to bring "multicrew" ships up in viability. Even with capacitors, and armor, and all the things CIG claims will "equalize" multicrew, why would I bother with crewing a Corsair, Connie, or Redeemer when the same level of firepower, and nearly the same level of armor penetration can be achieved by having everyone crew a fighter that does it better?
Also I really agree with the oddity to not side with Xenothreat. My org will be doing it anyway, rewards or gameplay intentions be damned. One of the missions will involve retaking SPK. So, instead my org will simply kill anyone trying to get inside SPK.
yeah there is a possibility of a F8 MKII now
Devs chasing matketing. Events are sales and sales are events.
It's either pre S42 or pre-rugpull behaviour.
I've only done level 1, did it first time solo...how much harder can it be? I've never found SC NPC's anything to worry about as long as I have ammo to loot
They probably need big money to take it to the next level. With that being said, they need to show some love to the player base that has given them 500 million dollars already and give back a little bit. We fund this game and their salaries directly so why give back a little.
It wouldn’t hurt them at all to give back a little bit you are right about that
At the end of the day, I believe we have a choice. CIG in in the business of making money. As long as people are buying ships, they will make ships. Using existing designs to come out with MkII models is a brilliant marketing tactic and to drive an event which forces people to buy the base model is a key indicator of the core values of the company. When I look at many content creators, I do not see them getting excited about the game - They are excited about the technology. You are right about Squadron having to be perfect but unfortunately after 11 years of development it will never be perfect. The product will never match the hype hence it will remain feature complete for as long as possible while the technology implemented is trickled across to star citizen to keep interest up and ensure ship sales. Personally, I have decided to stay out of Star Citizen until after 3.23. I have several concept ships so it is always interesting to see new ships added while I continue to wait years for the ship already paid for. Hence I have started playing other space games which have an economy, working jump gates,billions of systems, exploration, mining and combat. Nothing can beat Star Citizens technology or ship fidelity but these items do not make a game. As CIG go into Overdrive with marketing remember you have a choice. If you like space games try something else that does not push you to buy ships. Star Citizen will release eventually.
I dont even know if I care: I have 4 F7C2 CCUs (cheap ones) but why would I get a one time only upgrade (F7A) ? What if I decide to melt it after applying it? Why even bother in the same stale bunker mission for a token that will be gone once applied?
You can get your friend to simply share the missions with you then you don’t have to do them at all and get the upgrade
True, but I'm generally a lone player that jumps in the game from time to time.
I don't even play every day, I just hop on a couple days a week. A 3 day rental is BS.
Big time bs
I feel that 3 days is enough time FOR PROFESSIONAL GAMERS.
It's not for the Average Joe, working a 9 to 5 with a family.
Joe is going to need at least 8 days' worth of rental.
This event is a Money grab otherwise they would gift the ship regardless of if you got Mark 1.
They should give back for sure
