absolutely. 3.23 is amazing.

Don't believe it, lol. My package delivery mission couldn't complete, there's still invisible asteroids, scanning doesn't work properly, wind is still blowing ships over, you still fall through the mesh, bunkers are wonky, new hunting wildlife missions wouldn't complete, I randomly died climbing down the ladder of the vulture. That's just what I experienced in a few days. The new features work very well. But don't be fooled, it's still the same old buggy Star Citizen.

3.23 has a ton of new features, but 3.23.1 will launch with Invictus (May 17) where anyone can play the game for free and try every one of the 169 ships. After that is 3.23.X which gives us the cargo+item overhaul (freight elevators, item banks, etc.) and your own persistent hangars (with giant ship elevator). After that is 4.0 which is server meshing and Pyro. After that is 4.X.1 which is server meshing per planet, finally helping us get real server improvements, and potentially 800 players in A shard. So, yeah. The next 12 months will be huge. The biggest changes ever.

@@bobstark4201 In terms of features, it's really, really good alright. I played a few hours when it launched and most of the issues are caused by poor server performance. I stopped playing again after checking the patch out. I'll return when static server meshing is online and we get constant 30 fps tickrate servers. Otherwise, the stress of an incomplete and buggy mission would stress me out lol.

@@bobstark4201 unlucky. it’s been smooth sailing for me. i’m loving 3.23.

as a new player myself, ive not once had this issue? are you sure its not a you problem?

@@G0DKILLER_ Just having the HOTAS plugged in was causing it.

I've never once had this issue. I'm guessing you're running the game on old school pc

@@rixxy9204 Yep. That's it. Thanks. Swapped to a 3090 and 7800x3D and that fixed it.

@@RanmanLive That and move to 32Gig of RAM. It makes a world of difference.

That's what Star Citizen will be forever. A lot of great ideas/concepts, but unplayable if you value your time.

just happened to me im done playing shit its so ass lol

Agree!

This isn't exactly the place for tech help. Try Spectrum on the SC website or reddit.

They never have. Everyone playing Star Citizen in the development process knows that no matter what you do, it's going to be erased before launch and probably a dozen times before that too.

He probably should have released more ships then... But I think a couple are coming in later 3.23.x updates to make him happy.

You can't spell Roberts without rob. 😏

It's definitely come a long way quickly. One of the better ones out there now.

Pff. The long hair in the intro clips through the ears! Literally unplayable.

The closest thing to a mech that has ever been talked about is the "Titan suit," but they haven't mentioned that in along time. It's apparently still being developed as part of Squadron 42 though - which means it may still show up in Star Citizen.

Making these videos have made me pretty good at surviving without breathing.

@@AbbreviatedReviews I bet you could break records freediving. In all seriousness, I absolutely love your style, sense of humor, and writing talents. I hope you never lose your love for doing such lovely work.

If you listen carefully, in almost every video I end up with a line so long I run out of air by the end. If I ever stop doing these videos it will because I passed out and impaled myself on my microphone.

@@AbbreviatedReviews I will breathe easier if that day ever comes, but I'll do it sadly.

Coherent.

Cool.

Thank you!

Preferably mine

The best thing about this joke is how much fun it is to play.

@@AbbreviatedReviews yeah, for the 5 minutes you can actually play before you run into a game breaking bug haha.

I didn't get it to happen while I was testing, but it did show up later on, which was a pretty neat outcome.

I've considered it, but I don't know if I have the time to commit to it. But if someone ever came to me to do some limited stuff I'd probably give it a shot.

I say this as a person that plays a couple times a week.

cope and seethe

I think Master Modes are great, they just need balanced like everything else. That "Alpha" thing isn't just a fun word to stick before updates, *everything* is subject to change. I imagine the future will include some adjustments to how damage is dealt or absorbed/deflected.

@@AbbreviatedReviews I'm not saying it's not gonna improve or that it is final. Yogi said that they weren't happy with Master Modes right now, and I'm just saying that it is the ugly part of 3.23, that's it. Oh and also that the only ones liking the current iteration are probably people who never had a chance in a fight but now they can finally land a shot on someone. And like everytime something is in a bad state, all we can do in doing feedback and finding something else to do, in my case, more FPS combat.

@EroBE14 I'm no expert pilot, but I do ok in most dog fights, and I've played it and love it. I actually think it is more likely that people who haven't played it or given it more than a few hours of token effort are hating on it cause some content creators they watch said they hate it. Sure, it needs work, but it's a lot more fun than live used to be. Have you given it more than a few hours of play time? It takes some getting used to it, and change is always hard in the beginning, but I think CIG is going in the right direction for the vision and future longevity of the game.

@@ctzn3lack I really tried to love it, because I was a defender of it. I'm always the type to say "Improvise, adapt, overcome", but this, is just a step in wrong direction, and CIG will need to give us clear answers of what their new vision of the game is, the reasons of wanting to stay with Master Modes (apart from their ego), and even more laughable is that it didn't fix anything that it was supposed to fix. Jousting ? Still here. Long range combat instead of close one ? Still here, even more since the new Meta are canons 3+ km of range. Multi crew ships getting bullied ? They still are, but not by LFs but by Interceptors now, everyone can get bullied by a Buccaneer. But they can improve it, of course they can, I've seen many many good feedback post, with solutions given, like one where there is no switching mode manually, but it does it automatically by using your speed as an indicator. (After a certain speed, you begin to loose fire rate on your weapons and be at like 50% shields, and the more you gain speed the less weapon and shield energy you have, until you reach the Nav mode basically)

I haven't had many issues with stability, though Vulkan performance has sucked...

It really isnt, especially compared to other patches going live

Not my experience

Been stable asf for me

In the US, been extremely stable for me.

Yup, nothings changed. Content creators continue to milk each update saying "its game changing", when it really isn't. Pretty much everything is broken in this patch

Here is a list of broken stuff before anyone yaps: - Bunkers dont spawn enemies sometimes - Corsair shields dont generate sometimes - Ship repairs make you pay full price for the turrets resulting in ridiculous repair prices - Docking Ports not extending most of the time - Cant store certain items after buying them, when other items you can - Contracts not accepting and taking your money - Contracts not completing - 30Ks with no server recovery - Server Recovery abandoning your mission and losing all your progress - Elevator doors dont open sometimes or break all together - C2 Starlifter elevator animations broken - Cant use multi tool in armistice zone for cargo management - Bunker AI teleporting and barely fighting back - Ship combat extremely unbalanced - Ship randomly exploding - Mobiglass obstructed by armor - Cutlass Red medbay screen broken/cant see it - infinite loading screen trying to join the verse - picking up/dropping/placing/eating items is coded by a 5 year old, buggy as usual - fast ground vehicles randomly blowing up hitting invisible geometry - bunker turrets not engaging until you engage even though its trespassing and hostile - large ass armistice zone icon, doesnt match new UI at all - no remote turret UI at all - cant use vulture external ladder - vulture cargo grid vanishing after storing - station trams wildly going off track - quantum effect buggy - giant ass light on top of your ship that looks awful and cant turn it off - voip not working - vulture tractor beam buggy - npcs on planets/stations freak out randomly - every single hangar has floating box - helmet hip attach buggy and can lose your helmet - auto land not working at all - starmap navigation is just awful, the only good thing is the search bar - backwards floating text for pilot seat on certain ships - so much more.....

100% the game is soulless

​@@pvtryana lot from that list is a bunch a lies out of your ass man.

The distro centres aren't new? The new cargo missions at the distro centres (even without freight elevators) aren't new gameplay? Hunting fauna isn't new gameplay? Fauna in caves isn't new gameplay? The new grav race tracks aren't gameplay? The new control game modes aren't new gameplay? The new investigation missions aren't new gameplay? The new ground cargo missions aren't new gameplay? Really?

The previous flight model still wasn't realistic.

@Billy-bc8pk really using sheilds and guns slow your ship down is the alternative

I just made a whole video about what is better. You might want to check it out.

@@AbbreviatedReviews one step forward 2 steps back

youre so original

My favorite ponzi schemes are the ones where you use all of the money to pay hundreds of developers to create the product and people enjoy it.

@@AbbreviatedReviews more specifically 1200+ employees.

@@AbbreviatedReviews Pretty impressive that people complaining about the 'scam' really don't seem to know what the term "ponzi scheme" actually means. Even if it were a scam, it wouldn't be a ponzi.

Where is the player count?

I've had my issues with game breaking bugs and the like sure but this is one of the most stable patches I've seen over the 10 years of testing. Yes, it's still very alpha, and they have a large backlog of bugs to address, but i was able to have hours upon hours of fun with this patch. It takes patience to play an alpha but it's well worth it if you stick it out.

@@luisrivas1201 just join USA servers at 12pm on like a weekday there are only 30 people per server or 40 or sometimes even less then that

@@luisrivas1201 btw on the global chat screen in your f1

​@@Biggerfootthat's the player count you are using to metric how popular is the update..?

You know we played a lot of those too right? We can support an alpha and also spend our time with other amazing games... and none of those games have an as intricate and diagetic UI as SC but sure think what you will.

I think the only people who get scammed are the ones that spend real money on new ships

You do you. I think it deserves more than a single hour of your time but that's just me. Certainly still has frustrating bugs, but I've had fun with it.

@@ctzn3lack i guess just in that hour i realized we have new and old bugs. I don't have much time to "play" so being one that enjoys cargo hauling, i decided to retrieve the Hull C at a SS - it still does not arrive at the docking port, same as 3.22 i flew around a bit testing the new controls and star map and decided i'll see what the next patch brings

Someone didn't play 3.18 or 3.0.
