Keep your head up Egosoft...

[Ocye]

You may or may not remember me, but upon launch I was one of the ones barking for a refund due to the whole 64-bit requirements. Well I have since then upgraded to 8 GBs of ram and obtained a 64-bit version of Windows 8.

While this game is buggy as hell and I encounter a bug at least once every 30 minutes. I am about to reach 80 hours played time on steam.

You know you have a bad ass product when it is buggy as hell and yet folks still can't get enough of it.

Thank you Egosoft for being visionaries and taking on such a massive product. Once you get all the bugs worked out, lets maybe start working on turning this into an MMO. This game keeps me logged in for more hours than any MMO. Imagine the possibilities!

This is my official apology and thank you.

[Vandragorax]

No MMO thanks. People here don't want X to be an MMO, you can go and play EVE to get that experience ^^

While this game is buggy as hell

Yep, you are right. It's basically unplayable. BUT I still have much more fun playing it than any other game currently out there. That says a lot.

Once you get all the bugs worked out, lets maybe start working on turning this into an MMO. (...) Imagine the possibilities!

The reason this game is so great is that is NOT an MMO. You can do things you never could in an MMO. Own the universe in an MMO? Impossible, because only one player can do that. So many games annoy the hell out of me with all that social nonsense....X Rebirth is really refreshing in that perspective. If you want an MMO, checkout Star Citizen. (Of course I backed that as well )

Edit: And by the way, you can't just turn a random game into an MMO, even if you come up with a good game design for that. The server architecture behind an MMO is incredible complex, you can't simply setup a server somewhere and flip a switch. You need to plan for the interfaces between client and server from the beginning.

Spot on dog. I love the game even though its bugged. I wish all the prophets of doom ( who still keep playing by the way ) would just leave the forums if they can't be constructive. This for me is one of the best games out there inspite of the bugs

[spankahontis]

When the major bugs are sorted then it'll be the game we envisaged.

eve online is monthly pay so it sucks better is pay once and buy stuff ingame like cosmetics.

Joystick is still broken. Can't play with it.

Performance is still crap.

GUI/menus are still unpractical and chaotic.

Dialogue is still unbearable.

NPCS still walk backwards, squat and look into the other way for no good reason while I keep spouting SHOW ME YOUR SKILLS.

I'm still limited to one stupid ship with a realdoll sitting next to me.

Ships are still floating motionless in space instead of, y'now, MOVING.

I still have paid 50€ for this game.

I really hope every ****** day of your lives someone comes over to your home and reminds you of the game you have released. Of the interviews and the teases and the review embargo and the lying tech demos. I really hope you feel as dirty and dishonest as you are being and have been. I really hope no one, NO ONE forgets how Egosoft treats its customers. I really hope someone reads your stupid apology out lod to you. "We are aware that joystick support, at this moment, is not perfect". Screw you Egosoft. Really, screw you.

Yah, you keep your head right up there, you deserve it. This game is truly above and beyond X3 and Evochron Mercenary. Just a couple bug fixes and we'll have the PERFECT X experience I've read so much about on your interviews.

I am sorry you have problems and I do understand your disappointment, but this doesn't relate to the topic. I hope thing get sorted out for you.

I am disappointed too, but decided not to spend negative energy on this and wait for things to improve. I do have had some enjoyable time in game and if bugs get sorted out and improvements are implemented it is good enough for me. Companies like EgoSoft get my benefit of the doubt.

[Artean]

I hope Egosoft will very soon have the time and opportunity to patch in some much needed features and ui-changes, in addition to fixing bugs and performance issues.

[dzhedzho]

But single player games are boring, (and will be removed )

[grimdownload]

I can't be bothered to read more than the subject line of this thread, but it seemed positive so I just popped in to say the game sucks so as to ensure you aren't secretly having a good time on the forums without some jackals showing up to batch about bout stuff everyone already knows.

Your hope is X4. Light in the end of tunnel

Yeah good luck Egosoft!

This^^^^

So this is a thread about making rebirth an MMO with micro transactions and pay to win items?

For some reason i feel like someone switched the planet i was living on yesterday and moved me to another.

Good luck with the new fans ES you deserve them.

same feel, man.
who is all these people who ask for MMO?

[GCU Grey Area]

I wouldn't worry about it, it's nothing new. There have been posts about turning the series into an MMO at least as long as I've been here. Thankfully nothing ever comes of it.

almost 10 years Glad to hear that

[pr0nflakes]

I thought nothing would ever come of the suggestions to walk around stations.

I mean who would ask a company with the dialogue and 3d character design history ES have to do that right?

I just view it as a natural progression from being able to dock inside stations in XBTF & X2. Definitely looks to me like an unfinished aspect of a rushed game. Think there's a lot of potential for them (or modders) to do some interesting things with it in the future. As for XR character models, personally think they're a distinct improvement over the previous games. Some of them even look vaguely human, undead humans maybe, but still significantly better than Egosoft's previous attempts.
