Look around a bit, man. There are TONS of posts and tons of threads that try to expressly imply that everything is fine and that it's the users' fault for expecting a product to work. You know how many threads I've passed that go along the lines of "all games have bugs, you all are ungrateful for the amazing work they've done"??
ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous | Odyssey: Roadmap
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
- Status
What makes me sad is that it becomes more and more apparent that the upper management view Elite Dangerous Commanders as a source of income, and not as a source of motivation or inspiration.
Frontier is interested in publishing and new IP. Think EA.
If Frontier were truly intent on developing Elite Dangerous, it would probably have upgraded the Cobra engine or invested in a more powerful one.
There is no meaningful Roadmap because the current software is so kluged and broken.
It's hard to plan a road trip if you are in a jalopy.

Here I've made a start on at lease one of the many fixes and improvements

It would be worrisome if a corporation viewed their customers as something other than a source of income. If we aren't paying the bills, who is? This is not an open source project or a chairty.
There is another approach - play other games. That's what I've been doing and I've had FUN FUN FUN! No game is worth getting depressed about with the array of entertainment choices we have these days, especially with Xbox Game Pass.
Other games get updated on a regular basis and don't leave players hanging for months until basic bugs are fixed and rebalancing is done..Check out what Paradox Interactive are doing with Stellaris and ask yourself why we can't have the same approach for ED:
Stellaris Dev Diary #214: Announcing “The Custodians” initiative and the free Lem Update
Greetings! Today I am here to announce some very good news! Stellaris is not slowing down, but rather picking up the pace! We at PDS Green are very happy to announce our new “Custodians” initiative as well as the next free update, coming...

The issue here is you are framing it like we have an obligation to give FDev money regardless of quality. This is not so. If majority of consumers are unhappy with a project, they have full right to stop giving it their money. As they should; nobody should ever be obligated to give any company money.
My bingo card just caught fire
Console player here.
After update 5 you want to focus on bringing the "community together" right?
Nothing to do with $$$....no
Track record shows grab cash, fix months later. Here is my roadmap and probably many other console users.

- No preorder
- Proven right
- Buy in sale months later
My only gripe with you 'orrible mods tonight is that you (generic, not specific) deleted one of my forum friends posts that appeared to be snarky at me before I could lay into him, that ruined the entire evening!
Keep up the good work Stormy
Then why don't you act on it?
Why haven't you engaged with the community at all? In fact, why have you actively lied to us? No one from FDev responds to posts. I've got bugs in your issue tracker that have been ignored since day one of Odyssey and I suspect they'll go the same way as the ones I raised on the old system - ignored and never dealt with.
You're damaging the very heart you profess to hold so dear.
I'm going to speculate that there's a lot of people here who expected their concerns were going to be addressed. Otherwise, we would not see this uproar on the forums.
But hey, we're getting on-foot ARX. Yay! I never even knew I wanted that.
Lets wait until the patches are applied before taking the pitch forks shall we?
At this point in time we simply don't know what will and wont be fixed.
It was actually a "negativitiy cheerleader". Just to be clear.
It's almost like we need a roadmap linked to the issue tracker..... You know a roadmap that shows the direction of the product.........
Nah, Fdev wouldn't want to be that communicative now would they?
Well the last update made my game nearly unplayable on a 3060ti. Latest driver.
Was okay-ish before.
I approve pitchforks now!
