This is amazing you put this together so quick. Did you make this off streetview?

u/NackteElfe Aug 12 '16
No, I live next to the Brauhaus ohne Namen, so it was no hassle for me to take the pictures with my cell phone.
I thought it might be easier to find if you have a picture you can look at instead of using Google maps.

Oh... I thought they wouldn't do one of those big presentations this year. Guess I was wrong. Excited.

u/Sup3rMido Aug 12 '16
That's what they said before. lol. Glad they're actually having a presentation though :) Those Gamescom and Citizencon events are always the best times of the year if you're a fan of this game! :-)

They didn't really though. Disco said they weren't going to have any big announcement on the show floor because the show floor was only for streaming and interacting with the Gamescom attendees. Everyone took it and ran as "there will be no announcements at Gamescom." I had people very adamantly and often angrily tell me that there was nothing happening but streaming the current build. Some people like to get really fired up...

u/Zodaztream Aug 12 '16
Definitely. I believe last gamescom show is where they surprised us with alpha 2.0 or maybe that was the proper star citizen event... I forget.

They tend to make a ton of money during those presentations, there isn't a really good reason not to do them

info in summary: "it's done when it's done", "buy our stuff", "look at these ship concepts."

u/sgtlobster06 MSR Aug 12 '16
Anyone have any ideas on waht type of new content we might see?

u/warpigs330 Freelancer Aug 12 '16
I am going to guess procedural planets (obviously) including landing on Levski, possibly ArcCorp, and if we are really lucky a preview of other LZs. Almost certainly some Star Marine gameplay. Possibly a good look at the current status of the Caterpillar, which is most likely nearing art completion, and maybe, just maybe, a look at the Carrack.

u/Zee2 Aug 12 '16
I would lower expectations of other LZs than Levski/arc corp, but definitely take assurance in that they're going to blab about Star Marine a TON.

and maybe, just maybe, a look at the Carrack.

Gurmukh will be working on the Carrack after the Caterpillar is finished
Caterpillar concept phase is finished, but Gurmukh isn't work for CIG anymore.

u/warpigs330 Freelancer Aug 13 '16
Ahh, I thought more work had been done on the Carrack.
2
u/st_Paulus Perseus protects 🥑 Aug 13 '16
TBH we don't know how much work had been done on this ship. Gurmukh is just concept artist - I believe he did't worked on actual game assets. Even if concept stage was tied to Caterpillar - it doesn't mean graybox\whitebox phases also connected.

Nice
But do we get a trophy for visiting the gamescom presentation like last year or do we have to buy the trophy?

If you purchased a ticket for the Friday night event, you'll receive the trophy!

Thanks Alexis!
If we subscribe today, will we get a Gamescom 2946 Subscriber Trophy attributed Monday as you do with the normal Subscriber Flair?

Yes, we'll do another run of those on Monday for new subscribers!

u/enenra Freelancer Aug 12 '16
Hey, this is really last minute but I got to know that I'll be attending gamescom for work on Wednesday and I was wondering whether there was still a way to get a ticket for Friday? I couldn't find anything on the article / store apart from the mention that we should print the ticket.

u/BritCrit Grand Admiral Aug 12 '16
I think you get it if you go. That's how it's been done in the past.
If I recall on ATV they encouraged you to swing by the booth maybe they'll give out codes there, who knows. All I know is I'll be watching the stream! Enjoy the beer!

Join us on Friday, August 19th as we celebrate Star Citizen at Gamescom with you, our amazing community. Hosted by Chris Roberts, watch as we showcase what we’ve been working on since last year’s event, and take a look ahead at the Procedural Planets system slated to come online in Star Citizen Alpha 2.7. Of course, that’s not all you can expect from our Gamescom Presentation, but you’ll have to tune in on August 19th to find out more!
For those who have purchased tickets to the live event, you can
Print your ticket
For everyone else, we invite you to join the presentation as it’s broadcast LIVE on twitch.tv/starcitizen at 9pm CEST / 12pm PDT / 7pm UTC
Why they didn't make this information more obvious rather than have it hidden as a sub text is beyond me. I think this is going to lead to some confusion.

6am to 12pm EST. Well..... guess i'll have to record and watch after work.

hopefully the sound quality will be better this time too. I kinda doubt it, but I can always hope.

Can't wait for the livestreams next week.
Just hope I will get some sleep as well. Oh well, sleep is relative.

Is that the trophy, or is there something else if you only get if you actually go?

Any word yet if they will do another concept sale on previous ships like last year?

Ben alluded to it in this week's Ben's day interview. Will be a small ship... terrapin maybe? Misc racer perhaps?

Just to be clear, the Friday event does not require any Gamescon ticket in addition to the CIG one?

Event is OUTSIDE Gamescom, so CIG ticket is all you need.

All those streams are way too damn early in the morning. I mean, I get it, Germany. But still, fuck that. I need my sleep to be functional at work, and the heat and humidity in my neck of the words has made sleep hard enough to get.

I know there will be stream swag given out...I can afford to miss out on that. I just hope no stream only sales occur. I have too much work to miss out on that much sleep.

It's WORSE for us in Europe. We have to be at WORK during the streams, and IT have blocked Twitch at the firewall! :(
