ANNOUNCEMENT Odyssey Update 2021

I've purchased Odyssey for 2 of my 3 E:D accounts. I took it for a test drive today as an Explorer and I'm very disappointed. I'll not be looking for a refund as I know the majority of issues raised will get fixed, sorted and stabilised in time but I have lost a certain degree of trust and confidence in Fdev. With over 6000 ingame hours all I can say is that, for the foreseeable future at least, I will stay with Horizons and wait patiently for Odyssey to be fixed. Unfortunately, this new paid DLC is unplayable for Explorers. Space looks so dark... The appearance and profile of the galaxy looks so dark... Ship interiors look so dark. The standard non-bold red text of the in ship UI can hardly be read in Vive VR. The only workaround is to increase its brightness to full, which makes it readable but blurry. Combine that with a cluttered and awful looking user interface of the Galaxy Map and also a Detailed Surface Scanner that is broken and unusable, all I can say is "what are you playing at Frontier?" Do you have anyone in house that really plays Elite Dangerous. I doubt that is so; even the Community Managers display little or no game skills. You really shouldn't be releasing the new DLC in this state. Perhaps you should consider employing some of the best most highly skillful players in these forums who would happily validate gameplay during development; Indeed, I am sure many here would jump at the chance. It's a good thing I know that these issues will be fixed over time. Had I been a relatively new player I may have requested a refund straight away. All of us Old-Timers know you can better than this Frontier. Unfortunately, it seems you have put acquisition of wealth before quality... Grumble over.
Perhaps there are modifications or optical sets you can buy or build in game that provide image enhancement capabilities for explorers? Would be pretty neat if so.
 
J'ai acheté Odyssey pour 2 de mes 3 E: RÉ comptes. Je l'ai pris pour un essai routier aujourd'hui en tant qu'explorateur et je suis très déçu. Je ne chercherai pas de remboursement car je sais que la majorité des problèmes soulevés seront résolus, triés et stabilisés dans le temps, mais j'ai perdu un certain degré de confiance en Fdev. Avec plus de 6000 heures de jeu, tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que, dans un avenir prévisible au moins, je resterai avec Horizons et attendrai patiemment qu'Odyssey soit réparé. Malheureusement, ce nouveau DLC payant est injouable pour les explorateurs. L'espace semble si sombre ... L'apparence et le profil de la galaxie semblent si sombres ... L'intérieur des navires est si sombre. Le texte rouge standard non gras de l ' interface utilisateur du navire peut difficilement être lu dans Vive VR. La seule solution de contournement consiste à augmenter sa luminosité au maximum, ce qui la rend lisible mais floue. Combinez cela avec une interface utilisateur encombrée et affreuse de la carte Galaxy et un scanner de surface détaillé qui est cassé et inutilisable, tout ce que je peux dire, c'est "à quoi jouez-vous à Frontier?" Avez-vous quelqu'un dans la maison qui joue vraiment à Elite Dangerous. Je doute qu'il en soit ainsi; même les Community Managers affichent peu ou pas de compétences de jeu. Vous ne devriez pas vraiment publier le nouveau DLC dans cet état. Peut-être envisagera-vous d'employer certains des meilleurs joueurs les plus habiles dans ces forums qui valideraient volontiers le gameplay pendant le développement; En effet, je suis sûr que beaucoup ici sauteraient sur l'occasion. C'est une bonne chose que je sache que ces problèmes seront résolus avec le temps. Si j'avais été un joueur relativement nouveau, j'aurais peut-être demandé un remboursement tout de suite. Nous tous, les anciens, savons que vous pouvez mieux que cette frontière. Malheureusement,
Pidi ?
 
On PS4, no more Planetary landings possible + on all platforms carriers are stuck.
I can understand that it's never easy when something new comes out but was this stress-tested enough before release?
I also feel that "we" the players (a small percentage ) are a little to blame also, we wanted it, the legs soo badly.
It couldn't get here fast enough, Fdev had a small % complaining about we want this, we want that.
Maybe Frontier gave in too soon without even being ready for it.
It's better sometimes to say no than say yes and it turns into a no.
But now you have the entire player base on your back, it's broken.
Better communication is needed here.
When I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I will admit it, so planetary landings work, only with that one planet where I have to be for missions I cannot land, maybe glitched. for the rest, my opinion isn't changed.
 
Could we have a Fleet Carrier replay hour ?

Some are a little stuck away from the bubble and would like to come back. There is really very poor communication.

We must not forget that we have paid. It's like buying a car, but for a week it doesn't work ... It's a bit of rubbish! How does stability relate to CF?
"Some are a little stuck away from the bubble and would like to come back. "
Yes this is me i dont have any station close to me.....im stuck from dlc release, I thought it would only take a few hours but no, it's stupid, there's nothing I can do but land on a few planets and that's it.......ehhhh

Concerning tests, we had ~1 month of alpha test. Lots of players called for a delay in the release date as the game was clearly not ready. FDev said that the alpha was an old version and the latest one was much better, the release will include the fixes for the bugs found in alpha and confirmed the date.
 
This is what I'm getting when I try to log in.

EDIT I managed to fix it by going into ED: Horizon and resetting my orbital location.

Graphics are great in EDO though there is a clearly a problem with some planet lighting, and no, this is not an A or B type star, but a planet located 342Ls from a red dwarf (WILASTSI A1)
HUD mostly unreadable and targets not visibles (only on the 'radar')
Notice that the paint jobs of my corvette is BLACK :)
