The best part is people defending the lack of features. Since it would be impossible to show all of SC, it's logical that they only opened a little bit so everyone can experience SC for 10 minutes.
The fact that there is nothing more to experience, no, that not true. This current showcasing is by design. The constant rebooting too, this allows a new batch of players in. The same reason no more than 12 players are allowed. On the LAN setup. Uhhuh, and this is to become the BDSSE. Yeah, right :doh:
These people deserve to be robbed of their money. If you're that stupid :doh:
It really is a LOT worse than that, and this stream proves it. Not to mention the fact that, what they had to show of 3.0 was basically Arena Commander on a barren moon.
Everyone would understand the need to limit the demo to 15min. At GC you have to keep people moving or riot. But they could have gone with a mission for like 3-4 people, REAL 3.0 stuff, instead of a "hf with a few people shooting at nothing on a level done in 24h."
Imagine this:
4 people are grouped (2 desks) after the reset of the game, they start at the mission npc, one picks up a mission and everyone in group gets it. Text:
"Pirates stoles a crate of highly refined adamantium pressed latinum (the GOOD stuff) and you have to get it back. They are hiding out at the nearest moon. Check your map for thel coords. They have defenses so make sure to cover your ship while picking it up. You have to get it back within 15min to get an awesome RL reward. Follow the demo-pathway to the ship"
*some path on the floor to the ship shows up, demo only to speed things up*
2 min quest talk, 1 min to get to ship, 1 min "I fly ! no I fly! you take turret! meh ok... lets go!. 30 sec jump to moon, 30 sec to landing coords.
Then either leave 1 behind and send 3 out to battle the pirate area or man 2 turrets for a safe defense and send 2 out. You have 3 of the bikes in the cargo so both works. If you get the package back to the ship you have to place it in a secure cargo hold (cargo feature) and make your way back to the npc.
If you do it within those 15 min you get a code for 10-20% off if you want to buy into SC or a GC exclusive skin/ sticker to put on side of a ship.
BUT that would mean that they actually had those features...
