Nah, it'll just turn into another circle jerk if it has its own thread.
Thanks for the update though! Looking forward to them finally locking down enough of the performance issues so that they can get moving on other stuff.

you can't put a price on sparks
i think ill give this another shot once they actually release something more.
im not satisfied yet with the 60 i spent on it, but im not inclined to go through the hassle of begging for a refund either. game still intrigues me enough, and hopefully the "base building" is a good enough hook to keep playing
especially once all of the bugs are worked out...

Someone will make a thread though and it probably won't get locked.

I think that if you aren't actively playing it but still intrigued with the game as well as what it can continue to offer, then yeah, wait it out until more bugs are quashed and some additional content and/or features are rolled out.
Fair enough, it's been rather exhausting. I get why people are upset but it's tiresome as well. And I can't help myself not looking at those threads >.>

It certainly has helped me fill out my Ignore list haha
Interesting that there's a BF1 criticism of criticism thread, but an identical thread for NMS was instantly locked.
There should be an ignore list for threads. Although I'm not sure if that's feasible on vbulletin forums.
Mine doesn't need the help.

I dont think things get weirder, i found some weird stuff in my 1st galaxy (crazy land shapes like giant rock rings with squares on top) that i dont saw anywhere else. But just now i saw the tallest creature in my game so far, also when i was close to the center i landed in a very hostile planet, with frenzy sentinels and half of the creatures there was hostile too, i ented up shooting everthing that moved.
I have an impression that where i am now seems to have some sort of effect on creature sizes in some planets.
Just landed in a planet full of 5meter, 6 legged cows, there was alot of them and they was all so big that my controller rumble was shaking all the time near them. Then a few planets after that landed in another planet but this time the creature was real tiny. 30cm t-rex shape dinos.
I dont have spent much times on planets yet in this galaxy as i just want to move close to the center and then explore some stuff there, this stuff i just saw while landing to restock materials.
After all this time, the most planets and creatures already have a familiar look, like they dont change much from what i already seen... but once in a while i land in one special planet that have something new to show me, witch is enough to keep me interested in exploring more planets to see what else is out there.

Agreed, the overall hate the game gets on the name of a somewhat distorted view of consumer rights is pretty damn scary. I've seen people call Sean, a guy they never met and likely won't ever meet, a scumbag repeatedly in those threads. It's ridiculous and the tone is so aggressive that IMO is just beyond justification.
But hey, we're gamers right? We need to be mad as fuck about something!

Holy shit, I finally found a high-value resource planet! It's just full of rich, sweet sac venom and over 25K credits each. A little bit of farming and I'll be able to afford that dream ship in no time.
I'm not sure what you think you'd find in it, but the 'spoiler' thread was very positive and so was everyone who played the game before the outrage circus came to town.I wish I had read the 'spoiler' thread before buying NMS, but didn't because of this tweet:
This duped me and I can only blame myself.
Hoo boy, do I have good news for you! Hide Forum Threads - A Tampermonkey script for hiding unwanted GAF threads (it's great).

Listening to the Giant Bomb podcast where they utter completely reasonable comments about the blacklash and refunds (as well as their general opinion on the game. I think Alex from the Beast Cast best described the core of the game and how it can be appealing) makes GAF's carnival of stupid very embarrassing to watch.
Probably the first time I need some sort of echo chamber on here just to be able to discuss the game while I play it.

I think that's what the community/support team is.
Just went to see the new Star Trek. Movie makes me want to play. The game came to mind during several points in the movie. I plan to put in a good session tonight!
But it may also be due to a NMS video that I kept seeing in the theater. It looks like it is for a completely different game... so exciting looking with crazy space battles and the like. But it is also a very recent trailer since it shows off the inventory system and shows swapping of ships.
They really take the very best insanely rare perfect shots of gameplay to advertise this. Something you may only see for half a second within 50 hours of playtime. And sell the game on that... :/

So. Much. This. I paid for it mostly with trade in credit, but the $80cdn price tag is BRUTAL...

Finding out that when
you get to the center of the Galaxy, you just get flung out to the outer reaches of another galaxy with the same three dull alien races, generic buildings and star bases

They are needed to craft the strongest environmental protection upgrades.
Before that I would just craft whatever is needed on the planet (the lower upgrades only require common materials), but you can get 48 slots for the suit so fast that I just keep them all installed now. So in principle you only need 4 of the balls.
Yeah that is what I thought, thanks

My first planet is named "p" because I hit the wrong button on the controller.

Same thing happened to me. I'm not sure what it's about, but I've been told that you just have to make a few jumps and eventually you'll get another anomaly which will get you back on the path. I haven't tested this as yet because I found a nifty group of planets that have kept me busy, but hopefully they are right.
So jealous! I've finally found a decently resource rich planet with a couple of resources labeled as "exotic", but they are strangely worth next to nothing. I would love to find one of the high value planets and get a new ride. I don't hate the crashed ship grind, but I would really love to move on from that loop.
Maybe it only works with jumps to new systems? I made seven jumps to find my way back to my original system... No anomalies.
Lol happen a few times already for me.

Eventually an anomaly will turn up, and you can get an atlas marker from that.
Until you finish the path, then you just get black holes and useful items

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
That 48 capacity ship thing doesnt work for me.
Every crashed ship I go to usually has less or the same as what I have now.
Every. One.

I know I've been playing too much NMS when I'm driving and see a plant and think to myself, "I bet that has some zinc."
All right. After a couple days brek, time to go back to finding Cochese's system.
Hyperdrive check. fuel check. Stocks of Zinc check. Let's do this.

What's the system called?
Huh can't remember. Didn't write it down. I've got the coordinates though.
Fushichou187
Member
Oh neat. I haven't been following methods people are using for finding things other people have discovered. What are the coordinates and how do you go about checking them against your position in the galaxy you're in?
It's one of the big "secrets" of the game I'd say. It's "hidden", but in your face the whole time.
It's the character string you see when you look at one of these orange beacon things.
At some point I started wondering if it was some random stuff, or if there was any use, so I did some testing and I figured it out. So I asked here for people to give me there coordinates so I could test my idea. Only TheCochese gave me his. Only issue is that if I'm right in how that stuff works, he's pretty much on the other side of the galaxy xD

That's a great theory and worth checking out! I'll definitely take a peek at mine this evening after I get off work... and have some beer... and post it later.
I've made a post a few days ago explaining how it might work. But by now I'm pretty sure it's correct.
There's an "endgame" spoiler in there though, so don't untag the last 4 paragraphs if you don't (wanna) know.

I agree even after putting in probably 80 hours to do it. Sean Murray was so hush hush about not wanting to give too much of the game away, but in the end there was less in the game than what had already been shown. That's why people are interpreting it as a cover-up to incite sales. A simple "The game won't have everything we've shown/talked about at launch." would've gone a long ways but also would've impacted sales. Don't go on The Colbert Show and say someone will have to tell you what you look like if there's no multiplayer whatsoever. Those questions are gone over beforehand, so it's not as if he was put on the spot on live TV.
All that being said, I did enjoy the game but would've enjoyed it magnitudes more if the features shown/talked about were in. Here's hoping they make their way back into the game after they get it stable.

Regarding Atlas Stones, I mistakenly saw that
you should have 10 on hand to get the *real* ending. I have one, but I sometimes see other characters selling them. I'm also nowhere near the center (based off what I've heard elsewhere). Should I hang onto this one, or will I be able to scrounge up enough later on, when needed?
Did the same thing last night because I wanted to shift to capital letters, but hit the submit button instead.

Just a quick question.. When shooting at the Pirates.. Do you ever hit the star ships?
I made that mistake a couple of times and they start attacking me even if it wasn't on purpose and in the heat of the fight
It doesn't have anything to do with a "real" ending. It's just to finish the Atlas Path, nothing more. You can buy them at any time (although it will be insanely expensive) and find more. There will potentially be a point of no return if you sell one or more though.

I've done this twice. One time I had destroyed 29 pirates and accidentally blasted a star ship. It didn't end well.
I don't think the Atlas Path is any sort of ending. Certainly not if the lore is to be believed. Although how far they're going to go down that Atlas/Abandoned building/portal route I don't know.
I have pretty much stopped playing after getting the platinum trophy but one odd thing I noticed when I was short 1 Atlas stone for the Atlas path was that after I had bought an Atlas stone from a merchant, I had a hard time finding the last Atlas interface I had been to. I thought maybe I could turn them into any Atlas interface, not just the last one you visit to turn them in. I visited one I had previously been to( at least I am pretty sure, I named the system and went to all the planets) and it gave me another stone even though I had already visited it and I had just bought my last stone from a merchant.
This was with the latest patch too. The only thing I did different was that I had warped quite a few times to other systems and then I came back. I dunno if it'll work for anyone else short on an Atlas stone.

Well, I did a jump to a neighboring system where I'm now on Cubetopia. I'll send the coordinates later.

I'm not a big fan of the nebulas in NMS, and wish they were a rare thing with most systems being just black space, but I wish the nebulas that do exist looked more like Homeworld (Remastered). Homeworld's systems were the first space game I know of that featured these vast colorful nebulas, but theirs were always mixed in with patches of black space, and often were multicolored and more detailed. Even though they are stylized, they feel less so than NMS's nebulas, and honestly just more pleasant to look at.

I did a scan on the free exploration warp map. The system it found had an anomaly. This could has just been a fluke, though.
Edit: apparently a fluke
