The Star Citizen Week in Review discusses the 3.21 update that brought changes and bug fixes, but was received poorly due to lack of testing. It also highlights upcoming features, expresses skepticism about the company’s promises, and addresses concerns about the company’s financial situation and integrity.
The Star Citizen Week in Review for October 2nd, 2023 covers the 3.21 update, and some patches to 3.20 which brought some changes and bug fixes. However, the 3.20 patch was not well received due to the lack of proper testing, with issues such as malfunctioning Pips. The 3.21 patch to ptu introduced jump points, which excited players but also raised concerns as it hinted at the arrival of Pyro and 4.0, causing some to become excessively hopeful despite the glitchy state of the new locations. The replication layer testing in the PTU further suggested that the release of Pyro was still far away. A nerf to Salvage missions was announced, sparking mixed reactions among players.
The video also discussed the Chris Roberts response to quality of life suggestions and promises to improve. However, the speaker is doubtful about whether these promises will be kept, given the company’s track record. An Inside Star Citizen episode showcased a new mission called Data Heist, which involves hacking and protecting servers. The Blockade Runner dynamic event replaces the Nine Tails Lockdown event. While some players are curious about the event, the speaker emphasizes the need for a proper balance between PvP and PvE content, as previous events have been skewed towards PvE.
The video mentions a sneak peek of new armors and hints at a potential ground race track on Yellow. However, skepticism arises due to previous promises not being fulfilled. The announcement of potentially selling the previously exclusive f8c ship to concierge members, despite previous statements that it would never be sold, raises concerns about the company’s financial situation and integrity. Finally, the video concludes with the presentation of a newsletter and Galactopedia updates.
Overall, the video highlights the mixed reception of the 3.20 update, discusses upcoming gameplay features, expresses doubts about the company’s reliability, and comments on various announcements and changes in the Star Citizen universe.
