2-3 Years 100+ devs and this is what we get?

I mean, the build is similar to the one from alpha, and it was full of issues.
Also, they mentioned the success of odyssey twice (I think ?) as being part of their growth for the investor announcement. Without Odyssey, it would have likely been different.

And there is the fact Odyssey went straight from a small alpha to release, with only a few days between. Something highly unusable in the industry. At least when you want a working game.
I believe it should have had a beta release, but as I said, we just don't know what happened and I doubt we will ever know.
 
Ironically, they are only foundin 0g outposts. The only place where it shouldn't be on the ground. Hidden message? Raxxla ?
The trash spawns randomly I have seen it in Jamesson memorial once, but I have never seen it in imperial stations
 
We still don't know that's the case though. We can speculate, but we don't know for sure. As Arf said, if they new these issues would appear they wouldn't have pressed the button. Doing a simulated update is very different to putting into the live game.

Basically we don't know what happened.
The devs should know. Actually we don't have to. We just have to look at the results and compare it to other games in business. I think FD doesn't look that good in that regard tbh.

Nope, not one iota.

That's why I can't stand it when people call the Devs lazy. They don't have a clue what they're talking about, it's rude and it's unpleasant and completely uncalled for.
Ahhh some decisions are lazy, it can’t be because they don’t know, that would be incompetent and THATS rude 😝

Possibly, but I haven't seen any game do what Fdev have done either. For me, the game is very playable and having great fun with it and I suspect for a great many other people too.

I feel for the people with old machinery though, hopefully Fdev will get some of those performance gains done in the next few weeks.
 
For real ? Never saw it elsewhere, or it's rare and I missed it. In 0g it's everywhere.
Yes, but I think it is more common in anarchy systems, and it sometimes vanishes when you relog at the same station, this needs some investigation

Never said that either. What I said, is that we don't know. I have a feeling Fdev know after they have finished their investigations.

But there is likely a huge amount of code to trawl through at first.
 
It looks like Elite now has less players than pre-odyssey and the bleeding hasn't stopped, per steam charts. Today's average/peak might be the lowest in quite a while. I've noticed in a number of places that the complaining has grown much quieter but there's also a clear lack of activity, because said people have quit entirely. Too bad but they did this to themselves.

It is not that much

The kickstarter had solo offline mode with modding capability advertised, so a lot of us went all in. Then they cancelled it further down the track in favour of MP only. It was either too hard to split development or they were worried they would lose control over dlc/microtransaction income. I'm guessing the former, but my inner cynic argues for the latter.

In any case, I think ED would have been a thousand times better as a single player game.
Both gives us a choice. Solo is single player with shared galaxy. MP is fun and a great way to have friends around the world.
Yes Odyssey is broken but yes they will fix most of it eventually. Honk on Bobo!

Chill your pills and go get lost in the black like me.

That's the other issue, I literally can't play Odyssey. Performances are bad, and it's heating up the room. Which is bad considering it's 30°c outside. Then the planet are plagued by issues that make them terrible to explore for me. Now, it's a rather personal opinion, but the bugs and issues are a fact, whether you're affected or not.

The addition of both issue mean I've been playing Horizon instead, and the 40$ was wasted into literally nothing.
It’s been a month. Give till Xmas to fix it nice
