ANNOUNCEMENT Odyssey Update 2021

I am severely disappointed with Odyssey, I want my money back. Now.
With your new 'planetary tech' , you have DESTROYED many of my favorite planets/bodies. The performance issues are horrendous for many. There are so many issues that your 'hotfixes' end up making things worse, in Odyssey AND Horizons. The game is WAY too dark, and nothing I do changes that. Many of the colors are severely muted (look at the "pulse" paint jobs on ships and SRVs, which I and many others bought Arx to get). Night vision is crap now. Odyssey at the best, is a really bad beta, and should not have been released. There are many other issues, but Im too ed off to bother continue writing more. This will probably be ignored by Fdev anyway.

I personally do not want to argue for a refund, I'd rather have a rebate that would set the price of the "dlc" to an appropriate value... perhaps 90%... The devs need to acknowledge what they did. They should definitely apologize for their lack of transparency and their dubious actions. If they did show good faith and acknowledged their mistake, I'm pretty sure that most people wouldn't be that upset. What would it cost them to give sus 40 000 ARX? Nothing and that would be a good way to say: Hey, we messed up. we didn't mean to. we understand why you are upset and our action didn't rise to your expectation. Please accept our apologies, if you should require a refund, please reach our support team; in the meantime, anyone that would still like to keep the dlc, we would like to give offer this compensation.
But it is clear at that point that they do not intend to acknowledge our frustration. Their promotional stream ignored the complaint of many and they could have show good faith. Instead, they did go on, congratulating each other for their excellent work... I do not know who is in charge of marketing, but I don't think that he has either the competence and skillset to further the interest of FDEV nor that he has the the freedom to exercise any initiative.

Its a real pitty they rushed Odyssey launch.

I really don't like writing this, but I feel they need it test the beta for the console launch and we are the ones doing that for them.

On my system Horizons still work like it used to do, performance 100% the same, the guys on my squadron didn't have any major issue either. I did dc yesterday, two times, but that was all.

I tried Odyssey but I didn't do much than the tutotiral and small trip from one system to another. The guys in my squadron have way more modest PC than me and they don't have a good performance with Odyssey.

Time will tell if Frontier can solve most of the issues "soon" or if they will take all the time till console launch to bring us (the ones that payed for the new DLC) a decent gameplay/performance. The idea is very nice, but for now is not really playable for everyone.

I honestly feel if you guys even considered that the Thargoid devices are three sided bust of the Thargoid queen and the Omphalos rift device is on her chest. Then you would understand.that raxxla and whole other living civilizations of goids and gaurdians exist. They have since launch. Then you could understand why Odyssey would have such issues. Just saying...you can look at my profile of my content but tbh I get why the bugs exist. There is more being converted to Odyssey and a lot of it is what many would call some one "crazy" for thinking. 🥩4️⃣🧠 🫂♥️🦖

I'm in-person crewing another person's ship and every single time we try to hyperspace anywhere, I get an Orange Sidewinder error. How dare you? How dare you?

Can someone explain to me how the condensation inside the helmet doesn't create frost? Also, foot step in non atmospheric planets? Am I the only one which find it to break the immersion? WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO FSD CONE BOOST NOOB PROGRAMERS!?

Well, if I'm being honest, there might be some kind of sound wave which may be measurable with specific instrument, but II highly doubt that if you walked on the moon, you would hear your own footstep, yet alone the step of someone else. Same goes for most sound we hear in the game. If you actually run out of energy in your suit or turn off your life support in your ship, the sound you get is way more realistic imao. I wish that there'd be a way to unable "realistic" sound mode" so you would hear it like that moste of the time but still hear clearly any radio coms like your covas or the galnet news. I don't really care about "hearing" my foes... It's just annoying to me. and keep thinking, you are in a pressurised suit... How would you be able to relay clearly the sounds from the environment. Are the suits and space ship equipped with devices that translate sound particule into coherent sound for you to use as usefull data and this in real time? I really don't get it.

For those complaining about hearing footsteps, I have a few comments.
1) this is a game, and for gameplay reasons, we hear stuff in voids that we shouldn’t. ships flying past. guns firing, etc.
2) sounds CAN be transmitted through objects. You body is an object. For example, I can wear sound cancelling headphones so that i hear no external noise, yet i still hear myself move and walk. Each step taken results in a (muted) thump that I can hear transmitted through my body thanks to my skeleton.
The suits the character wears supposedly has pressure and atmosphere so that the character remains alive. the suit can also likely transfer noise of things hitting it through to the person inside. Walking is a process of repeatedly hitting the ground with alternating feet.

Soo, from my observation, being able to hear yourself walking on an airless moon isn’ta deal breaker.

No, nadie puede. Es un problema del servidor y tienes que esperar a que lancen un parche para solucionarlo.

they'll just use the goto explanation of the sound coming from your suit.

same reason why you hear everything in your ship that doesn't make sense to hear

Sorry to burst your bubble (no pun intended) but while Elite Dangerous has indeed some realistic elements, it is NOT intended nor does want to be a pure simulator. If you want to experience pure space simulation then go elsewhere.

i thought it was a simulator for the past 6 years. thanks for clearing up that mistake.

i think the hundreds of other unrealistic things kind of clued everyone into that. his argument was for picking certain sounds as one of the things it tried being realistic about since it's a design choice to not be (i personally do not care... sound is now very low on my list of things i hate)

it wouldn't be very difficult for 'simulated sound' to be an option you can toggle within your ship (or helmet hud, srv). making the handwavium explanation actually canonical. giving everyone what they want.

but hey, that would be good game design and we wouldn't want that to get in the way of what elite dangerous wants to be.
