On 15/08/2017 I bought and downloaded the CMDR Deluxe Edition of Elite Dangerous, and since then I have hardly been on Oppesitelock or Jalopnik, my posts have been nil, my replies to people and articles so few that they barely merit a mention. I am sorry, I have neglected you all.
I’m obsessed with it,I’ve spent a fortune on a new GPU, a fancy HOTAS, ship kits, a second account etc!
So I am here to say I am sorry, and does anyone else on here play and fancy winging up sometime???? LOL

I’m an Xboxer but I can say this game is amazing and a colossal time sink. But I tend to focus on exploration more than anything else myself

I used to play. The community is largely toxic as fuck and full of miserable bastards who have nothing better than, oh say griefing an event for a dying player (who is dying of cancer in real life).

i think it largely depends on who you play with, I am heavily involved with a Power Play group (Aisling Duval) and have met a lot of good people from around the world and we enjoy ourselves doing many things in game together.
The idiots that tried to UA bomb that mega ship are just sad and you will find people like that in any online game, the community rallied together though and nulled the attempts to ruin it!

It’s a great vast game, but be warned there is a very steep learning curve and there is no instant gratification or “end game”, you work towards your own goals!

It is a huge time sink, weekends just vanish in the blink of an eye!
Exploring isn’t really my thing, powerplay and recently PVP is more my thing.
I will head out in to the black at some point though, maybe a trip to Sag A...................

I played for a long time. I was admin on the elite-one xbox discord. I’ve seen the community.

Yeah I play purely solo so it’s all NPC’s and whatever else pops up but I’m sure there could be fun had that way as well.

That’s just a small.part of the community, you get plentybof salt in a lot of places sure (Reddit, Frontier forums etc) but I tend to keep away, our player groups (Aisling Rival Slack, Aislings Angels Discord etc) are pretty much salt free and just people enjoying playing the game together, though we are mostly PC players............

I tend to avoid solo or private groups, I like seeing other players and interacting with them, wether they are friend or foe, it just makes the game seem more alive for me.

I play Destiny 2 so I’m used to no endgame of note
