Will Dynamic Events in Star Citizen Ever Be What They Are Supposed To Be? (Deep Dive)

What we currently play in Star Citizen is a small slice of the actual goal. Dynamic Events have been used primarily for testing and proof of concept, but the idea behind them is much more exciting. Today we'll look at all the details surrounding their development.

Oh god. Jared's face during the talk about Xenothreat is incredible. Tony just rambling and pulling the veil back, and Jared's like "Yep. So about that 'Not spoiling anything' aspect..."

[@UnderdogSMO]

Im starting to think this is the real reason why we dont see him on camera any more.

[@JoseJimenez-fc6pu]

Legend has it, poor Draygon is still out there to this day, in the void of space, waiting for Tony Z's Quantum Simulation to give him something dynamic to do....😢💀 Where's Tony Z???

[@kevinm3751]

Tony Zurovec and light hearted conversation does not even belong in the same library, let alone the same sentence or conversation!

[@staticmass6794]

When I finally managed to complete phase 5 one of the boxes used the admin center box terminal. Try the mission again and if the box terminal errors out in the cargo center try the admin center and vice versa. Also don't use the tractor beam for the boxes

[@ThorbjrnPrytz]

Most likely (and Hopefully?) most of these advanced missions/features that have been discussed over the last few years have not been released due to tech. blockers, direct or indirectly. Massive battles, might be on hold due to server player limits, AI responsiveness, and things like that. Or something like server instancing to provide the area in space the battle takes place in.

#WhereIsTonyZ

[@Frazec_Atsjenkov]

In uni my professors told me on more than one occasion to be more narrow and less ambitious. Because they saw that I was digging a hole for myself by wanting to do too much. I love CIG and its ambition level. I do fear though that they are making some casualties in the process. Apart from the backers, the developers might also be having difficulty living with this kind of ambition. Thinking of something wonderous is often easier than making that vision a reality.

[@kiridox2517]

I lost count on how many times Tony Z said "You know"

[@BlackSun404]

"Dynamic" vs "Global" - Like they said. A dynamic event can either be global (same progression across all servers) or instanced (only in one server, if the conditions in that specific server are met). All the big "event" events that come to mind, are global. The dynamic stuff is more like, the easy stuff like SPK or Commsat being under attack and triggering a contract, or the more in depth stuff like you've been running millions of cargo through the same QT route and NPC pirates are catching on and interdicting you on run 6. Now, there's something really weird with security stopping you for a scan, which is one of my friends (group size of like, 6) constantly gets pulled over. Like he's been profiled. Drake ship? Already caught smuggling last week and ran away then? Yeah that guy's probably doing shady stuff, let's scan him specifically, everywhere, all the time, even when he doesn't have a CS right now. It's comical. He's being pulled over PLANETSIDE at cities and even outposts sometimes on the regular, as if Security spawns in specifically for him, while none of us others ever get that. They find him, EVERYWHERE. Absolutely hilarious, and I don't believe in that being coincidence =D

You scared me with the appearance of a cryptid in this video!

[@benmaier7232]

I can relate to how annoying it is to have a religious noisemaker next to your place, as I live next to a church whose bell rings from 7 am to 10 pm every quarter of an hour, all week long.

[@Godwinsname]

I want to hear from Tony Z. again! :)

[@danford6678]

You never will he told way to many lies and old backers will continue to shit on him for it.

[@Godwinsname]

@@danford6678 DIsagree.

[@Blackburn6969]

Apart from the Phase 5 box mission mess (which I have attempted over 10 times now with no luck) I agree that they are getting MUCH better.

[@Raubvogel]

I’ve managed to complete it 3 times on the first attempt. I’ll give you some tips. Always make sure you have a second person. Designate one person as THE box [bro] person. Do not allow another person to even look at the darn things. When you get to the where the boxes are, verify that the box bro sees 3 boxes; if they do not, have box bro abandon it and have someone in the party reshare with them. Keep repeating this until box bro sees all 3 boxes. Do not worry if people in the party sees different boxes or less than 3. All that matters is that box bro sees 3. Have box bro move all 3 boxes and place them on a table preferably, the floor also works. Make sure all 3 boxes are onboard and then head to the gateway. Have box bro take each box and set them next to the elevator in the hangar so the boxes don’t despawn in case the ship is impounded. The party should just chill by the boxes and elevator. Have box bro go back and forth depositing them. Do not allow another person to press any buttons, especially on the dropbox. Profit.

[@molster1234]

does he notice at the bottom left at 1:21:40 they call it a "dynamic global event" so they do still call it dynamic.. just dynamic global

[@malismo]

Tony, where is Tony?! Bring back the Z! I love the way he thinks in systems interacting instead of hard coding/designing everything causing everything to always be repetitive and boring. Brain to my brain :)

[@rolinthor]

Bloody decrypt cards disappear on me during the SPK mission in stage 4. Pick it up, put it in backpack, put it in hand…*poof*. Where did it go? I think it relates to ongoing back-end database issues, but who knows?

[@bryanperras7628]

Every time I tried to shoot, I would drop my weapon, get killed, then revived by AI friendlies.

[@1scrub2]

TONYYYY!😢

[@danny1988221]

so is this why we have no missions? we dont have quanta?

[@chawkes70]

There is nothing dynamic about the current plan for anything. It is all triggered manually by CIG each week for the next phase. I think over the last few years Tony Z has either not been allowed to add his work to the verse or this whole thing of quantum has shown he is not capable of doing it.

[@danford6678]

5x bunker missions with 5 code locks that have been in the game for years, 3x com arrays with some kill the space ship and mines, 5x Kill the space ships, 1x go to SPK and kill non-functional AI, 1x triple box mission that CIG couldn't even get to work properly for 90% of the player base. Oh man they never wheel out that liar Tony Z anymore I wonder why.
