I'm not having performance issues in 2d either, but I feel for those who are. As long as the first 3 updates get up to 60fps at 1080 for their recommended spec, then jobs a good un.

I'm personally having a great time in odyssey, and love the update, but obviously other peoples experiences vary. Anyway enough typing, back to flying and walking

It's exactly the same for me.

Wow

Most of this list is stuff that should've been in game long before you guys decided to call it a full release, let alone actually releasing it.

This isn't a roadmap, this is the list of homework you guys put off in hope of making a quick buck off of us.

Glad you guys added ARX for Odyssey Gameplay, now how about something basic and not microtransaction related, like giving us Faction rep for the Federation or Empire when fighting their wars on foot?

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.

After Patch 5, they aren't dropping the PC fixes to work on Console, they are working on performance improvements and the console release.

Would I like more information? Yes.
Do I too hope they will release more details? Yes.
Am I ignoring what was actually written? No.

I hope that after Patch 5 (end of June) we get more information as part of the 'ongoing community engagement' Arthur mentions (monthly update, etc.).

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.

The post that started this conversation lays out my expectations in broad strokes when a 'roadmap' of fixes to get back on track is mentioned. I honestly can not believe that people are telling me their expectation was "Three updates over three weeks that will have many fixes and improvements". If that is so, well... I'm not sharing a page with you and we are simply never going to agree on it.

It's not "Odyssey: Roadmap", just another 3 weeks PC beta schedule.

Where are milestones and plans?

This is from David Brabens post about the roadmap...

"So what are we doing to fix the issues?

As mentioned above, the team have been working incredibly hard to support and fix critical issues. They have already made good progress with three hot fixes and many server tweaks too, but we can see there is still more to come. Disconnects are now greatly reduced, despite record concurrent player numbers.

As already explained, the performance issues may take a little longer to resolve, and we greatly appreciate your patience.

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.

Thank you and my apologies again for the bumpy start to Odyssey."

With that said, what Braben promised in his post was delivered.

Did I miss the road map, or was the first post it? It took a week and a half to come up with 'many improvements and fixes'? If an employee came to me with this as a roadmap, it would go in the trash. This is road map to the end of the street, nothing more. To me this just compounds FDev's complete lack of any respect for the community.

I wouldn't be saying anything constructive (or otherwise) that hasn't already been said, so I will just say thank you for acknowledging planetary tech and I will hold you to fixing, improving, and reworking it. As I understand it, Odyssey will not be in a complete and finished state until some time after the Console release in the Fall, so that's what I will wait for. I have lost a lot of trust in you guys after this, though.

It's open and honest & (crucially) looks realistically deliverable.

Weekly sprints & monthly direction-setting comms sounds great! Though you'll have to bear with some of us; bit of culture-shock.

If you can stick to your guns, your integrity will either win people over, or at the very least, they'll have no actual ammunition

I admire your optimism, but that's not what was said. It's weekly beta updates and monthly pat-self-on-back posts. Not direction setting. And certainly no listening.

So .... you're saying it IS a roadmap?
