It's quite funny how people will object to "sam" reminding you about your email.. when you visit the tempest once every 8-10 hours of gameplay.

Yet there's no threads on the constant BARRAGE of It's too hot, i'm boiling to death remarks from Ryder, Sam telling you every 5 seconds that your life support is either low or full depending on wether you're in sun or shade on Eldaaren.   It is literally, continuous.  But that's ok.. just no email spam..

Or is it because, the haters who complained so much, never bought the game, never played on eldaaren and therefore never had to put up with it lol.

People were complaining about the hazard notifications as well, just about the nonexistent new e-mails.

The hazard comments are somewhat annoying but at least they are for a reason. Because you actually get exposed to blood boiling hotness or freezing temps on Voeld. You could have less notifications or comments regarding to it but eh...on paper it looked good, in practice could use some polishing.

The nonexistent e-mails are a similar, yet a totally different case. You get notified even if you not getting any e-mails. You not spending that much time on the tempest? Of course you are.Talking to the crew, researching, developing stuff, customizing your armor and that can be time consuming and getting notificed of e-mails repeatedly during that process is just not ok. I still run to the email terminal to check, seeing nothing new...so yes its annoying, more than the constant reminders of getting burnt or frozen.

Well people no longer have a legit reason to complain about heat and hazardous environments as these have all been fixed with mods, so people can simply stop being lazy and get the mods and those issues are gone, but that is not the case with the mail notifications (yet) 😃

8-10 hours! damn you are slow at clearing planets hehe 🥳

Yeh I don't rush games, rushing is fasttrack to boredom.

I've never personally had sam tell me I have email when I didn't.  So no experience of the bug, but I'd hazard a guess that those that are, aren't archiving emails and that sam is probably telling you you have email, when it's actually a read email.     But as said..never actually had this bug.

I also spend as little time on the tempest as possible, don't really talk to people until I have to.   The temp notifications are seriously annoying tho.  As for mods.. that's something you get after the original game gets boring, to extend replayability, not usually something you get to make the original more playable.   That's what the devs are supposed to do.

Overall it doesn't really bother me, I'm old enough now that I've perfected the ability to ignore people, so continually whining kids, wives, parents, friends, computer ai's.. just don't listen to them.

You just tune them out.   My point tho, is that this sam notification is something that happens what? When you goto the navigation station? So once or twice.. per occasion on the ship.  But on the planets you're being notified 3-4 times per minute as the game continually updates your current position relative to whatever life threatening situation you're in.  Be that Radiation, Heat, Cold..

I'd be fine with a reminder once per planet when you land. I don't need him to tell me that "The temperature is below normal levels" every time I step out of a heated area. It's ridiculous. Hello! I have a life support gauge. You know what that does? It warns me when it's low. That's all I need.
