Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Am i the only one that feels that the only exciting story mechanic is to 'fight thargoids'? Both cg's require thargoids to be destroyed to participate. Yes, the usual stuff is still there like passenger & haulage mission etc, but what if i don't want to fight Thargoids at all feel there is either were missing something or were being steered or steering ourselfs down a one destination road imo

I don't fight Thargoids and I don't feel as though I'm missing anything, their slow progress towards the Bubble is mildly interesting, and going and seeing them provided a brief distraction, but beyond that for me they are just something that is happening "over there". I feel the same about the Guardians, they add a flavour to the galaxy, but not one I'm especially interested in being deeply involved in, it's just nice knowing they are there.

If they become a Faction or Power then I may take note, but I don't play ED for a story driven narrative (there are plenty of other games for that), I play ED for the perceived freedom of doing what ever I fancy, story narratives just drive everyone down the same road and remove any feeling of uniqueness from your experience.

Plus, FD are not very good at stories, which when you look at their catalogue of titles shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, they primarily produce simulation type games.

Yeah game seems a bit borked lately.
The new engineering and material storage is a good improvement.
C&P is a step in the right direction, but I still think having to find an IF just to clear a minor fine a bit to cumbersome.

Now missions. Well, missions are just utterly fooked atm.

300 kills in a cz. <9mil that's not a wing mission that's a fucking insult.

As for thargs I see no real reason to engage them.

Totally agree 110% with above comments.......

If you want a good story driven game in the space genre.....

Play the Mass Effects......

You won't regret it............

Narrative in MMOs advance at a sick and dry snail pace. And the Thargoid "arc" evolution is simply introducing new thargoid ships and making them spawn closer to the bubble, then into it.

Some will argue there's great storyline in the books and lore, but i don't see any of this in game, so, AFAIK, it's just OP mobs spawning, nothing to write home about.

Even MMOs with stories (like WoW) quickly run dry, 20 hours and all you are left with is running the same dungeons or raids over and over again, stories are always best in single player games.

They have turned us all into scavengers....

I am a postman.. delivering courrier missions..

Who would have thought i'd need such a powerful computer to play the same thing as Paperboy on NES?
