I feel some disappointment with update 14

[Wasp0]

Don't worry, the update will provide Fun(TM) for all!*

* for varying definitions of Fun(TM)

Anyway, I've got an exam today, so I'll be kept busy until the servers are ready, just about.

Hey good luck for your Exam, i bet it is difficult to not think about Update 14 and what it will bring to the game. Unlucky for you that your exam feel on such an exciting day........(I wish i could get my tongue out of this cheek of mine, but it's stuck there )

No worries, the servers will be down for quite a few hours yet, so there's no way to get in-game. I will manage somehow.

BUT........Hang on did FDev not say this update was almost as big as Odessey itself???? What am i missing here? (Answers on the back of a postage stamp)

I think it was one of the largest since Odyssey.

Also I am at zero coffees right now, don't pray on any weakness I may have without caffeine.

Oops "Danger Sally morgan, danger" (clearly enunciated in the voice of the robot from Lost in Space (the original and only version of course....) Get some coffee in NOW!

Hello! A lot of the work for Update 14 not only involved the new line of narrative (which wasn't explained in depth in the notes, due to wanting to keep things a little mysterious for everyone) and the fixes you see in the notes too, but also the versioning.

Don't rule us out yet though with the degree of newness! Some things are better kept for Commanders to discover on launch than in the update notes o7

The work to create Legacy and Live was a big feat, one that the team truly needed a lot of energy to bring together, which is why this is an update all of its own, because it truly isn't just new narrative and some fixes.


All of these thoughts and wishlist items are very welcome and very valid.
We have announced that more updates are on the way and more information on those will be shared in the coming months so hopefully knowing this will help a little in the meantime.

Like everything in life there will always be aspects for improvements but totally appreciated and thank you Sally & Team for all the hard work put in. Can't wait till 15.00!

NOOOOOoooooooo.....TEA is the Answer and equivalent to 43 (Pays Homage to the greatest space Movie, Book, TV Series ever) Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy)

New content and gameplay for the ongoing Thargoid narrative. Good luck, Commanders!

• We’re being a little bit deliberate with vagueness on this one, Commanders. We’d love you to discover more on this gameplay yourselves on release of the update.

Why bother with this faux coyness over what's in the release?
We're not 5 year olds, and vloggers etc will be producing content on it immediatly, obviating the need to DIY "discover more on this gameplay yourselves" what's in it anyway.

Just..smh.

Sort of disappointed too:

• no mentions of a fix regarding lateral and vertical thrusters in Odyssey
• no mentions of a fix regarding PWA, which means mining will stay broken for at least 3-4 months till the next patch hits the road

However I still would have hoped to read about stellar lighting fixes and some AA improvements as these issues still limit the visual quality and atmosphere of the game massively.

Totally appreciate that we need to give a more up to date run through of issues, specifically issue tracker "tops" and others.
We'll work hard on this now that we've got U14 with the versioning and other newness tackled (the mystery part that many of you will experience in a few hours), so please do rest assured that an eye is being firmly kept on things outstanding that mean a lot to you all o7

Here's hoping for a 14.1 patch pre-holidays that focuses on adressing some of the remaining long standing issues that didn't fit into 14.0 because of the whole legacy / live build thingy.

Thats fantastic to hear. Thanks for the heads up Sally!

... but this wasnt a content* patch, was it(?)
2023 has more if I'm not mistaken. Though I was hoping for more (mission)fixes and QOL tidbits.

*bugs, the alien type, apparently, but the lore/story is not my fancy anyway

 

[FixMeNow]

I'm hoping update 14 brings on foot thargoid combat. Time to kill some bugs!

Maybe the ability to fly a thargoid scout to the motherships

But I will atleast wait until the update is released before I give my opinion

Q1 2023 has more if I'm not mistaken. Though I was hoping for more (mission)fixes and QOL tidbits.

Q1 2023 has a reworking of an existing feature (unless plans change).

You mean like Will Smith did? Yeah that's entertainment!

 

[Felix DiCestria]

What with all this Coffee malarky?? TEA my fellow cmdrs, Nothing and i Mean Nothing is better than a cup of Tea and in particular, Red Bush Tea!

Whilst tea is good Red Bush (rooibos) is caffeine free and thus of little use at what the heck am I doing awake o' clock.

 

[CMDRValkov]

Sally, what about Horizon dirty and scratched cockpit glass effect in Odyssey? I really miss those. Or is it there, and I'm doing something wrong?
