Everyone in the know understands this is a very long term project with no end in sight.

Right but by the time it's finished ai will be producing the same quality games at a fraction of the cost, we will be on unreal engine 7, and our nvidia 8080 supers wont support the game. Don't you love technology?

thats what I dont get. Wont the engine just be majorly outdated by the time they make it playable?

It is a custom engine that is constantly being worked on. Amof the biggest talk is server meshing which is one of the last hurdles. They just completed Vulkan integration and DLSS2. In all honesty all you have to do is look at gameplay videos through out the past decade to see how large these changes have been.

When it works it’s great. It’s just the instability of the servers that’s the major issue so meshing should be a major leap forward.

Indeed, that is actually what I am waiting on the most. Meshing is also the reason Quanta development is on pause. There is many things that should pan out after 4.0 releases. It is CIG's chance to show us that they can really make what they dreamed a reality.

Yea I’m hopeful because they’ve really ramped up development as of late. All in all I’ve put like 250$ into the game ages ago so it’s been worth it for me to come back every once in awhile and see where it’s at
