In the SF-MMO Star Citizen the Alpha Update 3.15 went live on November 10th. The patch brings several new features – players rave that it is a “game-changer”. A gameplay trailer on YouTube receives a lot of applause.
What does the new update bring? The patch 3.15 in Star Citizen is called “Deadly Consequences”. Highlights of the patch include:
- New hospitals
- Medicine and healing as a gameplay element
- A revised healing system
- New dangerous missions
We have already reported on a bizarre concept of the update on MeinMMO. In the testing phase, players could use healing guns to overdose other players with a drug, causing them to be incapacitated.
Star Citizen: Especially the new missions are praised
What are the reactions? The reactions are overwhelmingly positive, especially towards the new trailer for update 3.15 – it already has 5,100 likes and only 120 dislikes on YouTube:
- The trailer is especially praised for showing current gameplay.
- A user on YouTube says it is the “most important patch” since 3.0.
- The game is slowly picking up pace now
- Although there are still some bugs, it already looks very good
“A real game-changer”
This is how a user raves on reddit: A user on reddit is apparently completely fascinated by the patch. He recounts that he was on a mission with a friend, carefully exploring the area and gradually eliminating the enemy NPCs.
During the mission, they found a dead player and decided to do what any decent person would do in such a situation: They loaded the corpses of the enemy NPCs and the player, flew into space, ceremonially looted the corpses, and used them for target practice.
In his view, the patch is “pretty dope” and a real game-changer.
What’s behind it: Even if many point out that the patch still has some bugs and needs fine-tuning, 3.15 is apparently an update that moves the huge SF project Star Citizen significantly closer to becoming a “real game” with the missions and expanded systems.
This is apparently very well received by fans. It is noticeable that many perceive the development of Star Citizen as a journey that has been ongoing for several years.
Alongside the patch, the news also came that Star Citizen is opening a new mega-studio in Manchester, which is expected to employ 1,000 people.
The vision of Chris Roberts seems to be gradually becoming a reality:
The director says about the long development time of Star Citizen: “It’s not a pipe dream”
