Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

For our Tapatalkers, who cannot see the global board announcement of the webversion (Tapatalk does not include those )

Hello Commanders
Currently there exists an issue with accepting new commanders into the in-game group (not the forum).
New players can continue to apply to join in-game, but it will take until a fix for you to be able to play in the group.
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this may cause for new applicants and would like to ask for your patience
while Frontier Developments is working on a solution!
Feel free to join the forums and make yourself at home until we can continue growing at this amazing rate!
Also watch out for our special 20,000 member events coming up soon!

Regards
Wolf

Hey Wolf,

I only joined/applied on Sunday, so sorry if this has been asked before. Just had a couple of questions about the in-game group joining issue:

- is it recent/been going on long?
- any idea at all how long it may last?

Any info would be great; because I've just joined the forum I have no idea whether this is a long-term problem and may take a while before I can fly with some of you fine folks

It's been since last Sunday. So you probably were just a tick too late

Thanks for reply mate.

And gotta love the timing hahaha... ha... hm

it's fairly amusing, but sad.
BUt alos good, REALLY showing the devs how loved their game is

Why not simply have fdev remove every commander from the group who hasn't played for say six weeks.

Would be an interesting experiment.

This has been suggested by FDev themselves already. That would have given us a 4 week buffer max.
Right now there are almost more new pending than inactive to be removed.

The other problem with this being that Mobius himself has to click accept on every request so when those people come back it would lead to a never ending cycle of work for him.

I would rather see another game mode added that has a more totalitarian Pilots Federation that put monstrously high bounties on you, large enough to make the most wealthy player take notice, for player vs player fighting if report crimes is on, sends out kill squads to hunt down those with bounties that get too high, and takes a percentage of earnings from all activities to pay back legacy fines for you if you manage to evade the kill squad for a week and the bounty converts to a fine.

I would love to play in that game mode, hell I might even PVP in that game mode because the consequences of getting caught would be real.

Issues fixed by the tireless Frontier staff! Thanks to them a lot.
Muchly appreaciated!
Unstickied!

Yay!
