Read the title, the "fixing part" is invisible

What was the roadmap for? Let's check when it was announced:

Our plan is to publish a road-map by 4th June as we continue to push forward addressing issues, including giving some details on specific improvements, building upon the fixes the team have already made.

Where is the development roadmap in that comment from David Braben? The only person who has mentioned this was coming? It's about addressing issues, specific improvements, building upon fixes.

Did nobody read what Braben wrote?

Well you can't plan too long until you're out of alpha, and kinda have to meet those dates with those features, to enter the beta/optimization phase.

So the roadmap is ok, i'm sure it's the best they could do at this time, and actually they've been more talkative than i expected

They had 2 weeks. Like someone else said on reddit. It feels like this was slapped together in 10 minutes. Like a kid was writing a book report on his way to school. This "roadmap" is bare bones empty PR nonsense. They might have well just had one line on the entire post saying "we'll fix stuff".

EA is probably taking notes from Fdev on how to be a terrible company. That is how bad they are screwing this up. Only the white knights are even bothering to defend this anymore. Even then some of them are giving up and agreeing. Everyone else that has some form of standard is ready to jump ship or already has.

I did not fall for anything, as I've said that I'm not happy with the roadmap either in that very part you quoted in your reply, but I guess reading is hard.
Anyways, glad to see you completely ignored the part concerning the toxic behaviour of a certain side of the community, as I would have expected.

Wow, I've never encountered this ubiquitous person.. uh, 'X', before. I'm glad I guess. What a curious performance he does here - I can't see how he makes any money off of it, but perhaps there is an unheard grinder somewhere cranking away. :)

Well at least I get a chance to finish my Lego Asp Scout now before Odyssey launches.....I just feel sorry for the amount of crunch the devs will be going through...

I will say that Cmdr Exigeous has produced some excellent videos and tutorials over the years, and it's sad to see him so upset about the state of the game.

And continuing performance improvements...

Am I alone in this? Do you really see unspecified improvements over some period of time as a "roadmap". If your boss were to ask for a roadmap of your activity in a project would it look like that? Really?

This is damn near the only game I play regularly. I'm not in any way routing for it's demise or hoping to demoralize it's creative staff to the point of walking away, but this is not in any way what I would have expected as a communication to people that were up-at-arms over a really busted product release.

Anyway. Hopefully (so many of my comments begin this way lately) this will be expanded upon at aome point.

I've produced many excellent things over the years, but I don't expect the pity of strangers when I make a fool of myself in public. You are kind, and that's commendable.

Edit: But I will leave Exigeous alone now. Edit: for is it also foolish to make a beast of yourself in public :)

Many improvements and fixes

is not a roadmap. It is thinking that this conmunity will buy anything.

Where are the acknowledgements of things that are currently broken beyond belief and the priority order in which they are planned to be addressed? Where are the acknowledgements and the address of the very active VR community and their fears and hopes?

This was not a roadmap. This was ”we are going to spend the next month adressing all (read ”some of”) the bugs and performance issues we introduced. No promises.”

^^^^ This right here ^^^

FDev pulled a deception. They knew PC players would pay for it, So can FDev just call this a Beta now?

Worst part is that with this roadmap they also admit that the actual version of the game is not feature complete (ARX not being earned for on-foot gameplay, CODEX stats not being updated for on-foot gameplay, shared missions not being available and all the "place holder" UI stuff).

Disappointed is an understatement of my feeling about Odyssey. Been a big fan of ED since 2018 but FDev just hit the bottom for me...

Which is exactly what I was expecting. I'm not sure what anyone else was expecting, but they said it would be a roadmap of the fixes to odyssey and that's what we got. Why people are so up in arms over something we were told we were going to get, I just don't know.

Because looks like people still believe in magic and a world where software development is made by faster than light robots and not humans.
