It's not that it took much time to copy-paste the platitudes, it's that they didn't want to have any work day left in which someone could suggest they read the response.
ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous | Odyssey: Roadmap
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
- Status
And we paid for the privilege
So that's the organisers of both Distant Worlds III and Operation IDA stepping away (at least for now) from what this game has become - a broken, unfocused mess. Can't say I blame them. Even the 3rd-party tool devs went on strike a while ago at the lack of API support.
FDEV, what does it say when in-game content creators are walking away? This 'roadmap' does little to inspire confidence.

Its Archon Delaines dad, Geoff!
^this is pure gold sir!
Since the last "Patch bug fix" Odyssey is making my graphics card just hang my whole computer, no issues with anything and the error logs report issues with your executable and memory leaks from your game, I actually have played Cyberpunk with less issues (That was refunded to me by the developers themselves then gifted back to me as I had sent them some source code errors they weren't aware of that got fixed), I have played Alpha release titles that are in Alpha for years (Dayz per example) with less issue, memory leaks and bad coding than this recent installment (I am talking about system performance and running not fps and fancy graphic) For an apparent full released product that I have paid for in full I do not like the fact it is literally breaking my computer and may possibly cost me more of my hard earned money!
For that I have given up playing for now however I would advise others to check their systems while playing and after as you also could potentially be damaging your gpu and maybe your entire system so i would suggest you check for errors on your devices related to this game (Check your Windows error logs, Hardrive error logs using a certified or decent disk check software, and also keep track of your gpu error logs and its running while playing)!
Also I cant even refund the expansion as I was a pre purchase, Steam and yourselves gave me an ultimatum of time played......I was not expecting a bug fix patch to potentially destroy my computer! Also just to add my system is recent, it is not old nor is there any issues with it.
I am a fully credited and certified server administrator and service level 3 operator for some of my country's biggest company's so I know my way around computers as well as other devices. Issue tracker has provided nothing but automated responses and ignorance so putting it here for others to digest.
This issue along with the multitude of others is pretty much paretic for an apparent fully fledged release from a company with the credentials and credit rating you have, It is unacceptable!
I will be also taking a snip of this comment as it most definitely will be removed and posting it to an out sourced forum if needed.

I would say this is a very positive outcome. I had a feeling things would be on the rise. I never lost faith on this o7
It doesn't say that
By the strict definition, sure. Is it fit for purpose, no. This was FDev's chance at redemption in the spotlight to show us there is a secret plan and they do have everything under control and they blew it for me.
Thanks mate and to all the team. Much appreciated. Sadly there are quite a few who lack the patience and understanding you refer to. I've not been happy with Odyssey's release myself, but I also always believed no-one in the Dev team intended for this either. So it's always been more about what FDEV does about it, for mine - and the team is clearly working hard on fixes (even if the prioritisation of those fixes is not to everyone's liking).
The game has been playing great for me. The updates outlined here will fix a lot of the biggest issues. After those issues are worked out, it's primarily more tuning which will also be in line with the work for a console release, so it makes sense to combine the effort.
I suspect a lot of the remaining issues will be fixed before the end of update 5. They've been getting a ton of other things in in the miscellaneous category each week.
Again, it's not the time it took them to post. It's the time they felt they could stall for their convenience. And it worked; e.g. The Buur Pit delayed content to await this.
To be fair, its not the text that is important. but what lies therein. If the patches that will come in the given dates are as consequential as they said, and bring back some seriously needed fixes. Who cares if the roadmap is only 3 words long.
Perhaps FD need to break out the Hamlets:
In times of peril they always help.

I've not yet read through the preceding 28 pages, and not to put too fine a point on it, but...
What's the difference between this "roadmap" and whatever internal document/map you presumably had PRIOR to Odyssey's release that should have covered all of this in the first place?
Further, in light of what has happened over the last couple of years and especially with respect to Odyssey itself - what's so special about this "roadmap" that it's going to suddenly make things right when all previous planning and implementation has fallen short of the mark?
In short - I'm less concerned about a "roadmap" than I am hearing about concrete (i.e., not PR/Marketing fluff) steps FDev is taking to fix their broken internal processes in order to not only fix this mess, but also keep it from happening yet again.
