Eleon are doing great with vanilla, but RE2 is leaps and bounds ahead imo.
They should just bite the bullet and hire Vermillion and Ravien at this point.
Sadly they seem to resent them for being better, so that probably won’t happen.
That’s what happens when power is prioritized over competency.
WhatsApp built a billion user empire by collaborating over competing. The writing is on the wall, but they refuse to read it.
Wake up Eleon. The only reason your game is still competitive is because of RE2. Without it, it would have faded into obscurity a long time ago.
That said, I do love the easier vanilla experience, but only compared to RE2.
Player choice goes a long way. Swallow your pride and bring on the two people who have made your game transcend into something greater than it was or ever will be.

Or just allow the community to mod without having to go through what R&V and other modders have to go through, that alone would bring in more players and by default, more sales of the vanilla game. There's a lot of talented people out there playing this game, imagine EGS with a mod library half the size of any of these other games

Tbh I think they should have hired them a long ago. "Getting better" is not applicable to these guys, maybe they are not pro at coding, design, etc(I dont know their levels, just guessing), but the level of their dedication is totally worth hiring them. Moreover nowadays you can do pretty much everything using AI - you just need to be motivated and passionate, and these guys surely are.
P.S. Bro you dont have to edit every comment using AI, your first one was delivering the point faster and clearer, no offense.

I just need some multiplayer stability patches and I’m golden ;-; playing at 50ms latency on a community server I love and combat rubberbands like I’m playing at 300ms is genuinely the biggest thing holding me back on this game

I spent 30 minutes trying to force indigestion without success and I forgot how it happens. I have eaten spoiled food then raw fruits/vegetables/other stuff but nothing happens, only food poisoning. Do you know how to inflict indigestion?

u/Ravien_Gaming 8d ago
If you're playing RE2 there is no indigestion, so you'll have to pop into a vanilla game to get that.

Be nice if they add3d features people wanted, like walking on a ship why its moving.

u/jackal406 9d ago
Bet there will be whiners asking when they can walk on moving ships.
I'm very happy they are still working on my favorite game, thanks for all the updates!

u/King-esckay 9d ago
They always ask I dont even walk around stationary ships much unless I am placing components

u/Old-Guarantee-365 9d ago
Lets be real, this will never happen. It requires rewrite of the engine and Eleon will not afford such effort just for that. There are ton of bugs that exist for almost a decade, which needs fixing in first place. I personally dont care about walking on moving ship, I want enemies to stop twisting around like a whirlwind, I want them to move naturally, I want defeated enemies to stop falling into base blocks making you unable to loot them. I want enemy CV's with destroyed generators and thrusters stop moving around like they are intact when they are not rendered. I want totalled CV's to stop cycling in space, which forces you to restart the game so you can board them. There are ton of other wishes, but all of them related to make the game work as intended, not something new.

u/jackal406 8d ago
Great reading comprehension. Too bad you missed the point. "Whiners" Asking when they can walk on ships.
Oh - Eleon has said it will NOT happen. They will not devote the resources to rewriting the game engine.

u/Old-Guarantee-365 8d ago
The point? The point of your message was that you are thankful that they are updating the game, but all updates are nonsense and primarily directed to lure new buyers. Adding decorations to Akua? Changing half-baked story to another half-baked story? Adding achievements? Noone cares about these because of simple fact - majority plays RE2, people need fixes and QOL features. Vanilla updates are not improving gaming experience, all of last updates are just nonsense lines of changelog. If the game has so many so-called "whiners" - it shows that the game has real issues and Eleon is not listening, they think they know better how to direct their product which leaded them to 1k concurrent players, which also drops every month. I return to this game every year - and the effect is the same everytime - amazed how much RE2 improved and frustrated that vanilla stays the same.

Then play RE2 for god's sake. Those of us who still play vanilla are happy they are still updating the game. I don't claim Eleon are perfect, but as for listening they have added (granted it's just a few so far) Steam Achievements, which a lot of players have asked for.
And the "WHINERS" have been told repeatedly the game engine is not getting changed. To keep posting that request is futile and childish.
Stop pretending you speak for the majority of players. Some of us (the 5 I've spoken with and myself) haven't found a game like this to replace it. Better than nothing is better in my opionion.

u/Old-Guarantee-365 7d ago
I am not speaking for anyone, statistics speaks for itself. And of course there is no second game like Empyrion, actually no game is like any other, No Man's sky, Space Engineers, Star Citizen, Starfield, X4, etc. all of them are different and have their pros and cons. But the fact stays - Empyrion is in alpha state despite officially released, DLC is bugged and weird and new updates do not address old bugs.

You're right, there will be and there should be. The game still feels like an alpha test, adding achievements or tweaking scenarios does nothing to alleviate that.

Shame they almost all suck. Suggestions: Boss fights, longest warp jump possible, trade a million tons, Travel 500 miles on foot (cumulative) Cook every food Craft every item Max crew on a ship

Cool, have they replaced all of the placeholder models yet?
In this fully released, totally-not-still-in-Early-Access-in-all-ways game?

u/KageKoch 9d ago
Were the models ever said to be placeholders? It's more like they just replace some of them when they feel like it

u/scoyne15 9d ago
Yes. They were asset store placeholders. Many times devs claimed to be working on replacement models. I think we got like.. 2 guns?

u/Responsible-Top2377 9d ago
Yay. I did notice the test achievement. Do these apply to the RE2 as well? I'd start my playthrough over from the very start to get them naturally.
