Disappointing....

All that time working for beta with no decent updates and still no lobby and no kick or vote kick. Especially with so many newbies....

BANGS HEAD ON WALL!

Priorities! We need a working and complete game first!

Disappointing to see such comments here....

Trust me, Friends lists and more lobby options are coming.

Cool!

It's these kinds of assumptions that make this whole process a huge pain in the *** for Uber. Features like you mention here are what I call "Quality of Life" features, they aren't crucial in the same way that Orbital or planet smashing is.

Alpha is for getting all the core features working, then it's up to the Beta to tweak the existing features, add the supporting features and flesh everything else out. Don't expect everything to be done for the first 'Beta' release! >.>

We need it NNNoooooooooWWWWWwwwwwWWWWWWW haha

@ace63 - Get off your high horse! Jesus dude! You just wait till its your room with afker or whatever. You know how many thats going be with an extra 22,000 people playing!

I gotta say load times are really sucking now too. i7-K, 16GB 2400hz Ram, 2x 240GB SSD Raided & 2x ATI 5870 GPU's and i cant get into the game before it starts! REALLY! Just 2 planet bog standard solar systems. It does seem very selective though. It's not the mountains either, Lava planets can cause it too. Aint nothing my side, i can promise that

I get that dude, I been alpha/beta testing for about 20 years! But a lobby isnt exactly hard work. It's 1-2 hours of 1 persons time! It it would be so much more helpful to get proper gamers going and less messing about. I spend half my time messing about, Thats the point. A little here would make alot of better gameplay going on!

Simples

there are external resources available for finding players for now.

Obviously the guys at Uber don't agree with your assessment. The whole problem is people who are only here to play, I think things like the Gentleman's ladder and tournaments and such detract from the point of Alpha(and somewhat Beta as well but less so) I understand that as a large group Gamers aren't quite ready to make that leap and I feel Uber has done a lot for the people for are here to play already.

Just because your pet peeve wasn't handled doesn't mean anything.

Please remember that the alpha or the interim beta you're playing right now are just that; an alpha or interim beta. PA is not "finished" yet, you know?

Unless the support code is all done (thats 90% of a lobby) it will take ALOOT longer then "1-2 hours of 1 persons time".

God dammit Uber, why is the beta version of a game not fully featured. 0/10, worst devs ever. /s

I would suggest reading other topics before jumping in and giving the devs such a hard time for what is known now as an interim beta.
Reading isn't just for fun, It can also be educational.

I even put in a "/s".

lol he's completely sarcastic. it's apparent even without his little /s at the end.

edit: posted before he responded

I... think you need to get your sarcasm detector looked at. It might be a little broken

EDIT: Really? Ninja'd twice? Man I must be slow.

dUF, jAMMY WAS BEEN SARCASTIC, nOT IN A GOOD WAY ADMITTEDLY BUT HE WAS!

Sorry caps ^^

I can't even be bothered post here, The fact that a dev got back shows that they really want this feature in too. Kids man. Can't be doing with these zombie kids! Dumbed down brainless createns! If your not sure who, Look in the mirror!

Close this thread, No common sense coming out of anyone

Grayish white text. A lot of people just scan through posts. They won't notice that.

Hmm? i'm pretty sure Jammy was using the /sarcasm font
