Anomalous Research...

...how do we progress? I scanned 3 Alien sites and got the first milestone, after scanning like 5 more from different lifeforms (and nothing happened) i decided to go to the anoly and speak to polo. nothing there, so i went to the quicksilver guy and it says 0% progress. progress WITH WHAT?
Scanning stuff with the decoder does nothing and doing quicksilver missions also does nothing.

Galactic atlas shows the progress just updated to 57%, so here's hoping it's fixed!

Yup, time to get back to it I think, and hope lol

logged in around 7:30am ish to find it at like 67 percent warped and it went down to 57% then another warp took it to 47% then final warp and it went back to 57% after that it has not risen since 9:00 oclockish

Yeah I just ran like 25 sites and no change. I think they slowed it down, which means I'm done.

Possibly slowed it yeah, but remember its not individual, So your 25 sites could be 0.2% for example. Once more people start doing it again it should speed up.

I was planning to delete this expedition save as soon as it was done, but looking at reward for it is just another Histoigraphical Dosimeter (Like I really want to keep doing this after), I may not bother finishing before I drop it.

Yeah I know I need to chill but after spending six of the last eight hours watching the number go down instead of up. I will have to wait untill my head gets cooler to decide.

patience is the key with that kind of gating

being ahead of the times/the curve has it´s price, more patience

Yeah I know the feeling, give it a day or two then come back to it. Hopefully the community challenge will be less wonky by then.

Hmm maybe this is related:

If enough people had their games "ended", and their data on the servers also got cleared by this, it might be able to cause the numers to drop their part of the progression.

so this means we are all stuck and can't finish this expedition... time to uninstall, meh

grins... it's not as if there was anything new going on in this round anyway... 'encrypting' the whole last phase is pretty cheap or pretty hilarious, depending on your POV

( it's worth noting that the ONLY bit of new content in this whole game mode was the picture in your inventory of the whatever gibberish they called it that was given to you to scan or decode whatever crap it was that needed to be scanned or decoded :)

My POV is why even bother doing impossible stuff which is not getting fixed asap.
for me its an uninstall because thats what i do on steam :)
When its fixed then reinstall, that easy m8

Im thinking its pretty cheap and hilarious, especially the reward. It's like here you idiots love to grind, now you can grind for nothing. Yes the one thing I never want to see again, give me that.

[Marinxar]

Yeah, I'm not too thrilled with this concept of having to wait and hope that enough other people figure out how to get here...... My success should not be tied to how many others succeed.

Currently standing on 59% .... So until they change this dumb mechanic, move your behinds and get that progress bar rolling.... I want to finish this expedition in time.

well the HG NMS dev team has demonstrated themselves to be pretty lazy and incompetent in the past, i'm just wondering if this game mode is going to top all their past screw ups :)

really i'm just amused at this point, and curious as to how it all turns out

( passes the popcorn and wonders if anyone has a joint )

Im not too sure there are many game developers who I would consider developers.

To me Developers are like the architects who come in and build your house,

Developers wrote Havok, Developers wrote Unitiy, Developers wrote the Unreal Engine.

These Game Developers, are more like the interior decorator you hire to come in pick out the wallpaper, drapes, and sofa colors. And then you want to burn down your house and move.

Those who make engine, you should call software engineer, software architects. They make the engine from scratch.
Game developers may be software developers who write code, but not limited to that only, game developers including game designer(not programming related, they are designers), system analyst/business analyst(who will translate ideas to programming diagrams, logic diagrams), project manager, director, testers, graphics designers, etc...
Now, considering the fact that game development team including multple teams, backgrounds, ages, ethnics, mindsets, miscommunication, human errors are not the preventable/avoidable here, and human cannot cover millions lines of codes, unlimited scenario cases when testing, the final release of a product cannot avoid problems, which our specialty calls production bugs. You should be glad when they can deliver a stable build to production. Many developers delivered non working, unstable(to the point of trash), full of bugs builds to production, or some dictator big tech calls bugs "features" and "innovations", hiding away their faults.
I'm in fact a system analyst and programmer myself. And I can confirm that even it is a urgent bug, blocking issue; the team has to clarify, keep reproducing the case to the point that they can have the specific scenario of the case, then the scenario will be passed down to the designer team to identify which part is problematic and then the real dev team will finally traverse through the codes to find out what is the culprit, fix it in the internal build then the production team will clarify if the bug/issue is no longer reproducable before let the dev team release the stable build.
Even Microsoft, Google, Apple, Oracle, IBM(still exists, not IBM Thinkpad), Valve, etc making errors in their software products.
Seeing HG screwing their product is not really surprisingly here. Supposingly they do not abandon the game is the proof that they are not incompetent and lazy.
Look at big guys in game development, they tend to abandon their old buggy games and ignore consumer voice. Give them time and space to handle it. Do we know how to do the work of the expert? if we know, why would we call them in, right? We only need to criticize those lazy greedy dictators abandonning their products and ignoring our voices, not those who work their @s off to deliver us continuous contents.
