yeah i'm almost done with it too, i have probably about 15 hrs in-game since 2.1 dropped, previously i'd do that much in just a couple of days or so. lately i'll log on and then think about what awaits me, or the server will fail to bring up the mission list, or i'll get a persistent interdictor after 'all that tasty cargo' that i'm not carrying, and then i'll quit shortly afterwards and do something else
the 'git gud' crowd seem to think that if we learn to fly against the new ai and start scoring kills then we will suddenly think it's all great and enjoyable again - that is definitely not the case, for me at least. i've won every fight and succeeded in every escape so far in 2.1, but at no point did i think "wow, this is great fun, better than before"
combat used to be rather 'take it or leave it' under 2.0, if you needed to fight you could reach a resolution in around a minute, then get back to what you were doing. if you wanted something harder, you'd head to the CZ. under 2.1 the fights can go anywhere from a couple of minutes to 25 minutes, which is my longest so far... for me combat is now too drawn out, too difficult to get away from a constant interdictor, and often downright unbelievable (you got my shields down in one hit? really? what bullshit)
i'm currently playing Evochron Legacy while i wait for No Man's Sky to drop...
