Main Discussion
Developer Led Content- Things to do in game while we wait for content
- Ventura : Hi all, I think currently, while they work on CG+ they have opened the way for station repairs, fight the thargoids and DW2. In the repairs they have set the required commodities to high demand.
Or as you said Colin there is Mining or power play. Also there work is on the other account on Xbox getting to Colonia. I know you’re looking for content for the show, but ppl are on DW2 and working on stations at the moment. Was going to suggest to Kow that they do a station completion Stat on Thursdays Hutton News. I am currently working on trying to get my 1st Elite in Trade doing the station repairs and playing Wow.
I think at the moment the new content is from the community, rather than F-dev. - Had a thought, if you could create new content what would it be? Either story line or in game function. Also you can discuss the lack of content from F-dev… The negativity meter will be needed for the last one 🙂
