And you'll let us know if the game is still not fixed after 3.0 right?
Game works now, 3.0 will improve it and add new things to it. Lets put it this way, Egosoft is saying:

"from the release of 2.50 till December, we will be working in 3.0 that will add new features, bug fixes and performance improvements, on top of that we will be working in a new DLC that will add two new sectors (hopefully with some new zones), stations ships and a new plot"

I highly doubt that you will release another Patch between 2.5 and 3.0. should have added "there is nothing to come until 3.0" ;)

2.5 is not "out" yet

as I understand 3.0 is another patch

and the DLC is the expansion which releases on the same day as the 3.0 patch

the DLC is separate from 3.0

I hope there will be a public beta of 3.0 for us adventurous types to try out :)

Earth ultimatum IV. wrote:I was talking about state of the games, my experience with Skyrim is that, although it's a great game, it's horribly unpolished and microbugs are at every corner.
Having 100% achievements, I had to cheat 4 times because the achievement wasn't given to me even after reload.
Iam not talking about fun or gameplay or beauty here, just the state and amount of bugs.
At roughly 332 hours into Skyrim I cannot say that I have hit a game breaking bug.

Are there bugs? Sure. Most of which are minor sidequest related or things that some players find annoying or not intuitive.

The major difference here is that Skyrim was playable out of the gate at release. Bethesda then proceeded to patch the game and release some stuff for free as well.

So no, the state of the game is not worse than Rebirth. And in addition to all that, there is a massive unofficial patch mod for the main game and both DLC expansions if you really want to quibble and squash those bugs that most people hardly noticed anyway. In fact, the moddability of Skyrim makes it outshine Rebirth in pretty much every aspect because I can pretty much get exactly the game I want with mods. Whether that's more magic spells, alternate animations, completely new and free DLC *cough*Moonpath to Elsweyr*cough*, new and more terrible dragons to fight, wearable/craftable cloaks or fully controllable companions.

I still can't get the game I want with Rebirth. :roll:

Just want to add my voice and say thank you for the announcement, and for the DLC you have given us, Have added it so will be ready for me when it releases..
Hehe, I actually went to buy it again and it told me I already owned it so I couldn't buy it :lol: (nice way of confirming I actually got it tho)

I enjoyed all the discussion that led to the development of the new dlc/version.
Hope it wont be full of the same shallow ideas as XR at release...

I suggest you not get your hopes up that the DLC is anything more than what was announced. That's a recipe for disappointment.

Hopefully the Teladi will have different strat models, clothes, faces etc.
Not the clones we have now, same with the Split.

To get the record straight, I was an Elite fan back in the early nineties before XBTF came out in 1999!!!!

Any way, gotta get off ED and take a look at 2.5 and 3.0. Too many games, too little time!!!!

So the only race that is still missing are the Boron. Poor them!!!! Hope they don't get anilhilated by the Supernova!!!!

@ VincentTH ... Same history here, big Elite fan then onto XBTF when ramming was the best attack weapon.
Truly hope Elite D lives up to the possibilities and Rebirth finally matures.
2015 should be full of gaming pleasure ... :)

teladi are clones. of themselves. most teladi are female and they produce fertilized eggs by themselves. no dna recombination occurs, making their offspring clones.
they're supposed to look alike. :)

it's not a bug, it's a feature!

Hmm.. Nice to see that Egosoft is still working on the game (patches) so when 2.5 comes out (not the beta, as I don't feel like having to deal with any of the problems that crop up in them) I will give it a try again. But the big news is the 3.0 patch and the new DLC.

I think it would be better to take the time limit off the DLC (Free) for the people who already purchased it. I am sure there will be lots of people who DON'T won't even know about it before November 1st who already bought the game and stopped playing it because of all the issues it Has/Had.

So IMHO anyone who owns the game before the DLC release date should be able to get the DLC for free (ANYTIME) whether they add it to their game before November 1st or Not. Otherwise Egosoft is just going to upset/piss off their customers (Loyal ones who feel/felt ripped off by the games release state) who bought the game and gave up on it for a year or two until they figure its been patched enough to work properly. So they end up missing out? That just doesn't seem right to me...

I just hope it doesn't take a Year for Egosoft to get the New DLC to work properly like it has for the main game.... It is such a beautiful looking game!

Cheers!

Teladi, Xenon, Split and humans have been in the game since the beginning.

Sorry for adding no meaningful discussion to this thread but I feel I have to say it too:

Thanks ego for the gesture of giving this DLC for free to people that bought the game already. It means a lot, specially to many of us that trusted you and pre-ordered the game last year and got disappointed at first.

And secondly, thanks for the improvements. I'm excited about the pirates and the smugglers in particular.

I am pretty sure that even if they do not claim it they will get it if they own the game before Nov 1. I would test myself but I already hit the preload option despite it ending up doing nothing (dunno why I did that TBH...).

No, people do need to claim it to get it. This is the best of the options Steam has offered us for this scenario, not something we've specifically requested. Regarding the date, it's looking likely that people will in fact be able to claim their free copy of the DLC for longer, most likely until it is actually released.

Edit: Typo.

From the patch notes to 2.5
"Fixed managers pestering the player for money."

Why? That makes COMPLETE sense for anyone working corporate IRL :)
