3.23 Just Became One of The Biggest Patches Ever (Ft. Olli43, Croncy, & Beyond The Verse)

EP 17 | 3.23 Just Became One of The Biggest Patches Ever (Ft. Olli43, Croncy, & Beyond The Verse)
While Star Citizen players have been expecting a feature update after Squadron 42 was completed, we didn’t know how or when it exactly it may happened. After this week’s Star Citizen live, we are aware of most ofthese additions coming in 3.23. Today I’m joined by Croncy, Olli43, and Beyond The Verse to discuss these sudden developments, and what they could mean for the rest of the year.

The "social module" used to have an AR mode you could turn on and off. The AR mode would bring up UI prompts like item prices or even character information cards (or it was supposed to). I'd like to see this make a return. Have it turned off for a completely digetic experience, or turn it on to see interaction prompts, AR shopping prompts and other visual cues and hints/tips in the universe.

[@Khornebrzrkr1]

I literally only need the new EVA to exist and work for 3.23 to be a success. Anything else is a bonus to me.

[@anthonyross5769]

As long as I'm able to use space break and come to a complete stop so I can re add surge modules on my moles mining lasers as I mine the halo. I'll be satisfied.

[@mattst2717]

I’m very excited personally for the new interaction system, as well as persistent hangars. Being able to load vehicles into your ship without having to go to a moon’s mining station will be very nice. Also the distribution centers sound very fascinating.

[@anthonyross5769]

@mattst2717 The hanger will be nice. I'm going to make many runs in the vulture and attempt to fill up a large cargo ship for big profit. Make use of a hull a I regret buying in game as I've never used it.

[@tiptoebox]

I gave up on toxic mike. Space tomato and board on my go to now

[@BigGomer]

Lol Mike was supposed to be on this show I think Mike tends to have realistic opinions

[@tiptoebox]

I like that about Mike, But lately he has just been attacking some of his people and that's not cool with me. More so on the react videos.

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

this patch is INSANE!! Definitely the biggest update since 3.0. It's literally going to be a game changer if all this goes in. Great podcast as usual, pulling together some of my favorite SC creators!

[@Bucketnate]

You say this but now imagine how 4.0 is going to be then...

[@DamielBE]

Do you reckon we could be able to add angular momentum by using the tractor beam, like you'd use use a grabbing hook, making 90° turns in 0g while keeping your velocity? If so, that could open the proverbial flood gates to gameplay such a SATA Ball.

[@ZaneDragonBorn]

Croncy was wrong about the Animations for Customizing. Just tested a LH86 with attaching a Flashhider, Silencer, and Compensator and non of them have an animation in the customization screen nor through the inventory.

[@Twidgyt]

Thank you for testing. I thought he was wrong there.

[@rock2k14]

He was also wrong about the Master Modes, they're targetting for the PU, not just more for Arena Commander, haven't watched further yet, but the amount of misinformation he spews is slightly annoying already.

[@ZaneDragonBorn]

@@rock2k14 he probably misheard cig or heard this info from someone else. It happens alot so I am rarely bothered

[@Twidgyt]

@@rock2k14 it was him and Sulyn saying that about more MM ships being in AC. I know they said PU previously, but honestly they CAN'T add MM to only a portion of the ships in LIVE. They HAVE to apply it to all ships all at once. Imagine a raft being able to out run AND out gun a bucc, or the Nomad briefly being a pirate king because it can out run and instantly gun down freelancers. I don't see how they can bring MOST of the ships into MM without bringing them all.

[@rock2k14]

@@Twidgyt Yes, and Jared never mentioned once during SCL that it would come to some and not others, he said they're working hard on getting the rest of the ships into their Archetype's ready for 3.23, it's only those two guys that have randomly had the weird thought that some are going to have MM and others aren't. If they don't manage to get the rest of the ships into their Archetype's by 3.23, MM simply won't be pushed live yet, it's as simple as that.

[@NovaRift]

cant wait to see the next podcast after everyone had a chance to break down SCL! Its going to be a great one because a few features discussed in SCL werent discussed fully in this podcast haha

[@JanosiGe]

great energy between your guests - this was a worthwhile Stream on top of the SCL video! Quality content :)

[@fillianplays]

Pretty happy seeing everything that’s coming together with this patch.

[@koo-hip9406]

3.23 has turned into a game changer of a patch with regards to quality of life features. HOWEVER, I'm still not convinced it'll be anywhere close to accessible until the network issues are resolved.

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

Star Citizen players are starting to beta test the SQ42 features. We got a few things in 3.22, the updated hair being one of them. We are getting a lot more with 3.23. We will continue get more of them with every patch until SQ42 is released.

[@akaAoXo]

The way "Events" are handled should change. Unless CIG have changed how they plan to handle them, aren't these dynamic missions supposed to trigger when certain conditions are meant? At the moment there are no triggers, CIG turns them on and off for marketing reasons, but originally the plan was that if (for example) NineTails got enough weapon shipments or enough repuation built up, this would trigger that faction to offer a "dynamic" mission event, such as Siege of Orison. So hopefuly "story" driven or not, won't matter, because the "Story" would be that NT got weapons and repuation enough to be able to undertake such a high profile attack.

[@TheRealBillix]

I think the real dynamic events require Quanta and we haven’t heard from that for a while.. maybe with SC 1.0

[@Killingblaze]

For the dynamic crosshairs almost all FPS games do it, for instance Destiny does have one, but it’s at a fixed point and just changes dynamically as you swap to different weapon types to show the possible spread. That is what I assume it will be. If that is the case it will change PvP as no one will ADS they will just learn how to be effective at hip fire just like in Destiny crucible. My main question is about the hangers, so I have several different types because of the different ships I have. So do we get to pick the hanger when we set it up? What about when we are landing, will it show our hanger while we land or will there be a jarring transition once it swaps to instants hangers?

[@basicallybroke672]

distribution centers WILL NOT replace current UGFs. This has been stated before that they will be entirely new locations along side the smaller UGFs

[@eddyrocksteady1157]

Croncy comes in like a Boss and shits all over the entire panel’s misconceptions and misunderstandings of fundamental game mechanics……😂 I love it!! Go Croncy!! Thanks for setting the record straight and alleviating obvious ignorance and misconceptions.

[@drizel462]

"Yours truly," refers to yourself, not someone else. Great show guys!

[@user-hj2yc9tf2d]

I play exclusively with controller, set F to dbl tap LB, toggle mode, Rb To both action presses. Looting is still a pain, but its a good combo, i fly with dual sticks but everything else with controller. 2014 vet here, it is doable. O7 see you in the verse

[@tapewerm6716]

Hey .. that tomatillo should be green! lol

[@wolfanderson8946]

did anyone notice the Star Citizen Live conversation about minimap, I can't remember which panel it was, but at citizencon i thought they said the map was dynamic and used the data in the game so they didn't have to map everything out, but in Star Citizen Live they said they had to go though and had to map everything out so it will take time to get all locations. im i missing something?

[@therealolliebobs9896]

This is likely referring to a split between social spaces that users regularly attend and random wilderness caves etc. If I was to suggest, I would say that the likes of Orison, stations, derelict platforms etc, known locations currently will be mapped by CIG. Whereas those off the beaten path, waypoint-less can be player mapped. Locations like the sealed-off areas of the Pyro abandoned stations, maybe the"main" occupied segments are mapped but the hidden mission area bits require player mapping.

[@RahYutKill]

Confused as why people are flipping their lids about updates, CIG literally said that sqd42 is feature complete so why is this such a huge deal that the next updates to the game are going to be huge and in fact game changing.

[@fingazblank]

Good chat guys

[@wisdomandy9361]

Ive been seldomly playing for about 2-3 days once a year aince around 2017. Typically I stop because of very frustrating bugs or lack of meaningful loops to do that make me feel like I'm getting anywhere. Persistence and bug fixes will probably keep around longer ( or so i believe )

[@traesaul1199]

Hell yeah!

[@Matu1]

They made it pretty clear that they are targeting these things in next patch. So lets see when it releases and what you really get.

[@M4VERICK69]

Let’s go CIG!

[@Exsulator2]

18:30 I sincerely hope that items in space floats away realistically. We don't need to make space "less dangerous", that's like saying "nah we won't let people sink in our boat game". Come on now.

[@RTS907]

Woo Hoo !

[@Tainted-Soul]

you forgot the economy update they are stating to put in the PU with 3.23 eg the ship prices are going up in game or spreading the ship prices out so Drake ship will be cheap and Origin ships will be over priced. It does sound like they are dong more and the new POI may have an input in it. but we have 12 weeks of shows to break down 3.23 more . I also see the hangers as a loading up for a mission even more now you you just press "I" when your in your ship. after you will call your ship go to the hanger them same but then list everything you want and wait for the elevator to bring it then drag it move it on to your ship 6 SMG 40 mag's 30 bottles of water 80 hotdogs. then you take off . the shopping app OH I hope it at the least informs you of where you can get stuff and stock levels as trying to get a fast QT drive for a good size 1 and 2 ship is hard ERKUL info is no longer right in that regards. Gimbles so now we can slap bigger guns on the Scorpius and the connies . Sabre ? I wonder if the Glaive and Blade are among the ships that wont get Gimbles

[@ESC_907]

With regard to the comments of telling friends to stay away for fear of not finding something they would enjoy, does that not speak more to your failures as a host? With so much to sample in the game right now, should a good host not be capable to lead their friends to gameplay they find fun and worth returning to?

[@ctzn3lack]

o7

[@TheRealBillix]

Star Citizen doesn’t need controller support. Because with it comes naturally aim assist. Then we get to gamepad modifications that create macros and apply cheats. NO GAMEPADS

[@alaricpumani5372]

But more feeling true gamepad

[@DaringDan]

You, Mike, Morph, Erad, and the dude from LevelCap are all PU vets, and yet all of you are already proclaiming that all the stuff CIG has touted as coming in 3.23 is actually coming as if CIG's track record the last 8+ years isn't riddled with delays. I'm left here scratching my head. Can we wait to do this until their patches for like a year or two consistently hit their projections? It's so misleading to new people. We just keep repeating the same crappy cycle year after year. We've got jump gates to Pyro that still don't work and CIG telling us they're targeting Summer of this year to release Pyro and yet we've had ZERO news on Pyro preview channel's return which is an ENORMOUS RED FLAG, and yet all the big boi content creators have all magically forgotten CIG's track record.

[@TastyPotty]

Please let people swear on your show. It's more real that way.

[@jamescostello9543]

Ffs just get the game to work befor you add all this crap. This game is still a massive piece of 💩 still

[@SpaceTomatoToo]

How's the game gonna work without a starmap? You do realize these are the literal additions meant to make the game work better?

[@jamescostello9543]

@@SpaceTomatoToo so iv played the game off and on from conception from no game play but to walk around a station and limited flying about to the 3.2 patches and inherently i here the same crap from all the same drones "this patch is amazing it the best one yet" so and so forth and i get the bug to try it again with huge disappointment, gameplay is bugged to the extreme that its unplayable so NO to you star map answer i stand by my comment with fix basics game play that's in the game now before adding supertiles crap that not going to work ether
