One gives pint of enjoyment... The other gives you headache.

I would prefer to skip the headache.

Using almost all my fuel to fly 400,000 light seconds in SCO to an AX conflict zone only to immediately get a bounty because some bell end won't turn off "report crimes against me".
Then, being unable to refuel at the station due to the bounty and not having the fuel to get to an interstellar factors due to the aforementioned SCO fuel usage.

Priceless.

LOL. Good one.
Fraction something-something fined me for 800 and sent me to jail while paying me ~1MM for taking down few degenerate criminals. I have no idea what the fine was for.

Also, it makes 0 sense we cant jump 400K ls aka 4.629 light days aka 801.595 AU aka 119,916,983,200 kilometres or ~30x Sun->Neptune.
Why cant we jump to a star B, C etc in a system with several stars? It makes 0 sense.

Game : "This component has a 10% chance of dropping while the material which you also require to make it drop in the first place is anywhere from 5-25% AND can only be obtained by performing actions in a specific way that is easily messed up by some random donkey waltzing in and starting to blast stuff"

Also the game : "But you have managed to painfully obtain 20 of the materials doing a tedious activity that spawns an extremely obnoxious miniboss, so you did not get any of the 10% chance component even with the use of something meant to make it drop more easily, instead you got over a dozen useless things which you have no interest in or need at most 1-5 copies of, and two of the item which is supposed to only have a 6% drop chance"

Take my middle finger, RNGesus. And fuck off to somebody else's game.

OK… I’m pretty sure I’m familiar with all the materials farming methods in ED (excluding anything introduced as a part of PP2.0), but I have no freaking idea what Kasumi Goto talks about ^^.

Nope, it's about another game where RNG was just royally screwing me over (and has been for the last two days). I don't partake in PP2 on the basis of a lack of interest in what it offers (humans bickering amidst each other, you'd think we have enough of that as it is).

AguilarPowerplay 2 the new grind it’s not worth the effort.



I am still avoiding that part of the game. 0 reasons to join any of the fractions.


Not worth until they ironed out everything. Year old Exploits are back, Merits are being diminished to no end for if you sell regular Commodities more then 10 Units at a time, while Rares and Power Commodity trading actually require you to sell it in bulk to make the most Merits. And let's not start about the real Elephant in the Room where you can blow through the Ranks.

There's currently a Competition between a few Knobheads going on who is going to surpass the ones who already completed their Powerplay after the first Cycle, using the known Exploit. Systems getting reinforce or undermine bombed like crazy left and right, while all this is making the BGS go bonkers with pushing the Controllers into Expansion everywhere, and causing Retreats all over too.

Fun.

Ouch! Sounds like a score reset is coming soon. Rewind <<

EDIT: Strip those Kn0bheads of everything
Send them to a prion ship and give them a Sidewinder so they can get back and start from 0.

LOL. Like real life

Doubt that's going to happen. When Exploits were used in the Past, not many if any at all got punished. And even if that'll happen, doubt FDev is going to reset everything back to zero with Powerplay 2.0. Would be very surprising to say the least.

Here is another bizarre rendering error in Odyssey.


Rocks that pop out of the ground or sink are common, this is something new.

latest update caused a bug that wont let you put mods to your suits and weapons. I went back after years to check how better it is. Indeed its better but with game breaking bugs thanks to pp 2.0 update, forget about it.

I just wanted make new fresh suit and smgs for fun. Not realy optimal for spacelegs activities.

Ugh, the terrain discontinuity bug again. It used to be pretty common at some point in Horizons, but I have very rarely seen it in Odyssey.

You might want to check your graphics card drivers, because the bug has been reported to be related to driver versions at least in some cases. If you have old graphics drivers, try updating them; if you have updated them recently, try perhaps going to older ones.

Naah.. I am not going to F around with graphic drivers because much more important software (everything else) works fine. It's ED bug. Let them fix it.

System is up to date, uses what ever the stable version is in the depository.
Funny artifacts in the game are amusing but irrelevant. How else can we find a floating bolder in a narrow gorge or massive "wheel tracks" visible from 2 km up.
