CitizenCon 2954: Beyond Pyro

[@AngryB4ker]

I'll give CIG credit where credit is due; Sherman Station looks INCREDIBLE. They understand Homeworld's artstyle better than Blackbird does.

[@NarrowDipShit]

Pls dont remind me of HW3 😭

[@CriminalMindsQuotes]

art and thats all it is

[@AbbreviatedReviews]

I kinda figured instanced areas would be more prominent. It seemed like CIG was avoiding them for a long time, but it just makes sense for things to be more functional and have fewer issues with people overlapping where it doesn't make sense. Though I would rather see more of ArcCorp's surface buildings than the sewers... Also, I don't know why, but Nyx seems like such a cool system. I just like the idea of a very space-focused area instead of so much being on planets.

[@justalex4214]

They haven't been avoiding them, they were actively pretending they can make the game without them due to their belief in the jesustech "server meshing". Now that they are testing meshing and defined what their game actually might look like, they probably realized that instancing solves many of the non-network related issues that meshing can't solve.

[@okgo3763]

@@justalex4214 Yes, ArcCorp buildings. Would be so dope!

[@D_Wito]

@@justalex4214 Well even with miracle of server meshing working as dreamed there would be a lot of people and all of them might have conflicting ideas in their head so... chaos imminent

[@justalex4214]

@@D_Wito it's not even that. Just look at any other mmo, quest givers are oftentimes swarmed by hordes of players, this wouldn't work in SC where players can bump into each other. Same goes for the quests themselves, if the content isn't instanced, it would be complete chaos with dozens or hundreds of players doing the same thing at the same place at the same time. It just doesn't work on a logistical level. Also 100 players at NB commons during the meshing tests already made the framerate crash hard, so instances are also needed on a technical level so peoples computers don't explode.

[@HK94]

@Jasepo LOL. Kick off my work boots after tending to my Space Cowes and drink a cup or coffee looking that gorgeous planetary ring. Yea, it wouldn't be such a bad deal AS retirement goes...

[@elwhapposanchez7926]

levski was always my favorite place. glad to see it back can't wait.

I spent a lot of time at Levski back in the day.

[@elise3455]

Hopefully it won't be a 5 FPS experience now 😬 (3.0 flashbacks 😰)

[@mr_nate8911]

This made me go watch my old recordings of that place from the time I had fun exploring it to compare and contrast what they had back then to the things they made changes to it now

[@JFrombaugh]

It’ll be really interesting to see what role Castra will play in the 1.0 story, now that we know growing tensions between Earth & Terra will be a big part of it. I’m wondering if we’ll see the Xi’an and/or Imperator Addison (she’s originally from Oya, another Perry Line system) make an appearance.

[@Jasepo]

"Better & Better Rewards" This is where the Issue of SC as a MMO comes into play, Can you actually carry those rewards? Not likely especially when it involves further progression loops.

Two systems down, 98 to go.

[@guynamedmaggi5520]

Only took a decade to get this far

[@z3roninja565]

Theyre not doing 100 systems anymore, theyre shooting for like 5 at launch

[@Toutvids]

@@z3roninja565 I said that years ago. 100 systems was when they were making simple scripted landing zone planets like in Freelancer. There's no way they can make 100 with the huge planets they have now.

[@alexb115]

100 systems was when they were jpegs with on-rail atmosphere entry and landing aka Starfield / Star wars outlaws, hiding the loading time like outlaws does with "flashy" entry. You could not land anywhere you wanted on a planet, nothing was seamless. Scope has changed totally. 100 systems with the size of planets they have now would make the MMO dead, everyone would be too spread out. Starfield, NMS and Elite dangerous have also taught the lesson that more is not necessarily better.

[@IndigoSun-hz6cq]

How many servers are needed for say a 70% total player base online?

[@SpaceDad42]

Yeah, let’s even get to pyro first. How bout that?

[@rashonkelly3598]

[@kenshi_cv2407]

I mean we’re in testing at the moment, even being pessimistic it physically can’t be more than 6 months out.

[@hansyolo9649]

We're going home 🥲

[@Jasepo]

Why don't CIG just release the game as it is and built upon it? Like expansions? Pyro Expansion, Sherman Expansion, and so on... It's like WoW wouldn't be released yet because we still have some more continents to build and flesh the story out.

[@thomassaunders8149]

They took it out of Stanton and the planetoid they toss it on and just put it in the asteroid it’s supposed to be in and made the system it’s from. Probably wasn’t high priority to get that system done for without server meshing. That’s my best guess, probably why it’s in the after pyro video.

[@Gundobald]

Just fix the servers and add Ironclad into game. Servers are 20% playable right now since patch 3.24.2 which you rushed into live for CitizenCON do those two things and i dont care what else

[@positronikiss]

Not a single mention of the state of the ACTUAL software. Pure oneiric verbosity pretending everything is smooth and dandy, smooth sailing in CIG´s dubious eyes. Just more sales and marketing of things that are years and years and years away, if they are even coming at all. Not a fan of this ill intended discourse. Flight model is abhorrent, server health is abhorrent, NPC ai is abhorrent, POI livelihood non existent. Why should I be excited if reality tells me a completely different story?
