It seems they'll stay until they run out of funds and get decommissioned. I'll drop some billions on mine this weekend and jump it into my favorite system as a monument to eternity in the console ghetto.
Some things (Odyssey VR) have left a bad taste in my mouth, so haven't played much recently. Could someone please explain what's so appealing about 3.8 vs 4.0? Thanks!
Oh, im trying to compile the long list of bugs that bugs me in Odyssey, but this is... well...
and i get the feeling i;m missing a ton of them
- pwa
- subsurface mining and subsurface deposits
- interactions between materials and srv wheels (run over them and they either vanish in the ground or srv shoots up in the sky)
- materials shooting at high speed and getting lost beyond horizons (in odyssey sic!) when shot in a guardian site (panels) or barnacle forrest (meta-alloys and materials)
- c&p bugs resulting in fake and/or unpayable bounties
- lateral/vertical thrusters being weak - especially noticeable on Cutters, but generally speaking affecting most if not all ships
- shadows flickering
- Odyssey missions (mission objectives not present for salvage/fetch missions or some npc missing in case of massacre/raid missions)

Sounds like this will create an opportunity to reshape the Legacy galaxy, with most players beeing busy in Live version.
A Communist? Anarchist? Imperial? What Legacy Galaxy will look like in the future?
Who will become the leading Major power?
Extend your Player faction beyond the limits!
Very exciting update.
if you didn't want materials to spawn inside the mesh of objects and a convoluted UI (or game) that wasn't properly user tested during design then why would fdev have spent the time to develop those features that way? huh?
We have known since Horizons Version 4.0 was released that Horizons v3.8 would not be getting any new content updates or Narrative and Console players for even longer, plenty of time.
Thinking about it, the only realy nasty issue is regarding Console Transfers.
While FDev offered no deadline and claimed they will give ample notifications prior stopping the transfers, the bomb drops with only one week notification
So post U14, Console transfers will be put on hold. And next year they will be resumed but they will no longer transfer everything...
Oh boy. The full console transfer lasted for like 2.5 months?

So as an explorer I'm concerned as to how this will work. Many of the sights to see out there are due to the old terrain generation that'll now be locked behind this Legacy mode?
Say I fly out to Slacheae CK-A d0 to see "The Ampitheatre" there. However I'm mainly flying in Odyssey mode. But since that sight is only in 3.8/Horizons due to being caused by old terrain generation, am I able to still just relog to this legacy mode and see it, or since there's this cloned commander does that mean my legacy mode commander won't even be in the same position or something?
To see such sights do I have to now fly out all that way in Odyssey and then fly out all that way in legacy mode?

Everything is separate.
Everything.
The things you do in live mode are not done in legacy mode and vice versa.
Yes.
It's going to be two completely different games. You can either see the amphitheatre in Legacy or you can go in Odyssey. They will be completely independent of each other. Think of it as what you do in Cyberpunk has nothing to do with GTA5. Two totally different games. In this case they only share the same starting position.
Question - are things going to be separate, and will things I do in legacy mode still effect the "live" mode?
It was consoles holding us back, now they can concentrate on going forwards with Odyssey content.

Any more of this and I'm going to emit a scream that will shatter dimensions and destroy reality as we know it.
Well, considering they canceled development on consoles more than 6 months ago, I don't think you can use that excuse anymore. But sure, after this update, any failure can't be blamed on consoles anymore.
Will I hear that scream in Legacy too or is that just an Odyssey scream?
completely separated games, each with their own save and commander profile
You can have the 4.0 (Live) Ubermick commander in the bubble and at the same time you can have the 3.8 (Legacy) Ubermick commander taking a galactic tour of the 3.8 Horizons Galactic beauties (Planetary POI/Landmarks)
That’s some Frontier and you know it. Just dropping console bgs off so multi platform communities are screwed into working two side of their space. You cannot do this. I don’t care if it somehow makes it easier for you or if you think this is just gonna be ok but you already cut content from console players and now you are cutting them out of the main servers. Please fdev. Don’t do this.Greetings Commanders,
