Hello its Ricardo and welcome back to
elite dangerous beyond on a side note
from the Genesis follower that's
currently going on at elite and frontier
have turned out and released another
hopes to the forum and it's more good
news I'm afraid
yes board hopping is to be canceled
yes folks your gears are not deceiving
you frontier is going back together it's
actually sorting out the mission server
by implementing a dedicated mission
server this post came out from will
Flanagan recently dictating what was
going to be happening with the game
going forward so let's break it down
because that post was a bit of an eye
test and I'm trying to stand it a bit
more so how are they gonna do this well
they're gonna implement a dedicated
mission sir yeah yeah I know I have a
bit of dramatic music so what exactly is
board hopping before we start getting
into it we're on board hopping is where
you perform a task for example I don't
know go and shoot some skimmers odd hop
and there's the mission respawned for
you straight away or you may want to do
a mission in a station you find the
cherry mission for like so many hundred
million you accept it for like I know 16
items to be delivered to a certain port
you bought hop you come out you go from
open into solo mode for example the
missions respawned
double bubble okay now some clan does
use it some commanders don't some of the
many making schemes used it but let's be
fair these money-making schemes the
skimmer missions and all the rest of it
they've been gradually decreased over
time and you know making money in the
game other than doing it the legitimate
way
has been more and more difficult there
are less and less exploits out there any
exploits have been what's been left over
by old builds that been put in by the
patches where you might see the
resurgence of ruby gold mines or you
might see the resurgence of skimmer
missions and you know they come only on
to YouTube they're there for a day or so
print EA goes up Christ what am i doing
and it gets patched straight away so
effectively it is a game exploit they're
getting rid of and it's a bit of a yin
and yang as to where there's a good or
bad thing and commanders need to decide
whether or not it's a good or a bad
thing it certainly comes on the tail end
of a week exactly seven days from where
we got told about other items happening
with the elite dangerous game from
frontier what was what's happening with
chapter 4 and then obviously beyond that
we've had the thing that was a gnosis as
well but let's get into exactly what
they're gonna do with the board hopping
okay it starts off greetings commanders
nice happy trying to put you at ease in
the next chapter of beyond three point
three we'll be implementing and
migrating mission data to a new separate
server
well this mainly affects the back end of
the game you will see some changes to
missions in game as it stands missions
are on a shared server with other
elements of the game this has the risk
of problems with missions causing
outages and stability issues for the
rest of the game if there are technical
hiccups
well okay no one likes hiccups he
continues so what are the benefits we
will see by moving missions their own
separate server so any issue generated
by missions which can cause a server
outage or stability problems will no
longer result in players disconnecting
instead the missions will be unavailable
for a period of time properly when they
update it on the fly if such issues do
appear the previous service will be able
to act as a backup offering a better
opportunities to recover game content as
quickly as possible
fair enough they're able to fix the
missions on the flight if there is an
issue he states we may see a slight
decrease in mission board loading times
okay missions will now be consistent
across all game modes solo open and
private group so that's it so your
ability to go board hopping to redo your
missions gone deader
kaput okay but it continues as well as
but the long press release it is also
worth noting that as a result of a
dedicated mission server there will be
removal significant reproduction of the
method of refreshing mission boards by
logging in and out of the game board
flipping while we understand this is a
practice used by some players and
there's an Asterix there which we'll
come to in a minute
this was never intended as a use of the
mission system now they did some stats
on this and they found that only 2.8
percent of players use that process well
you know what if there's an exploit
going on I bet you that percentage would
raise quite significantly I think how
many times you think that would have
raised with the skimmer missions
I reckon anyone
to get that sort of money and the sort
of combat kills as well to increase your
rank anyway
that's what they've said that's their
official stats he continues even though
there is a small number of players doing
this we will increase the credit payout
by 10% across the board so all players
using this mission boards as intended
will see a net profit as a result of
this submission reward choices will see
boosted influence reputation and rank
games so there is a positive as always
when it comes to missions we will
continue a new view and bounce them
where needed so there is the sweetener
influence increases increases in
reputation and then also increases in
ranked games but they can balance them
he then concludes that this is
ultimately a healthy step for all our
overall services and in game experience
and here any questions put it on the
forum post below well let's have a
little think about this now I mean given
the update that came out from frontier
in chapter 4 and what's happening beyond
chapter 4 the decreasing content other
content being added in is this game
gonna go pay to play and if so getting
rid of these ways of subverting in game
mechanics would indeed be a good enabler
to go pay to play
so you're removing any exploits that
could be obviously exploited within the
system or if they finally got their act
together got enough money for I dunno
amazon web server credits and I've got
another server together I don't know
what do you think in the comments it's
been ricardo and talking about the
