Goodbye for Now

[Dad Rock]

Uninstalled Elite: Dangerous for the first time since I bought it in 2014...feeling a bit underwhelmed and tired with this Odyssey business I'm going to play something else for a bit.

I'm not salty or angry. How can I be when I've had over 2,500 hours of amazing fun and met some amazing people. The AEDC is the most amazing player group I've ever encountered. I'm sure others have said this ad nauseum, but I need to get this off my chest: the Odyssey DLC lacks meaningful content and is far from the original spirit of the game. In all honesty this isn't the update I'd hoped for after waiting so many years.

I do genuinely hope that Elite: Dangerous becomes the space sim we all want it to be, but for now, o7 Commanders!

I uninstalled Odyssey. Nice 60GB back.

Haven't yet taken the plunge and uninstalled the base game, but on the flipside, not fired it up for over a year.

There are simply better games out there. E: D has lost direction and got trapped up its own backside IMO.

I'm on the verge of uninstalling it completely... I tried to do the "gameplay" in Odyssey but the only real progress is suit/weapon engineering and even that is a huuuge step back from Horizons (too many improvements from Horizons were ditched making the engineering far more difficult and annoying than it should be).

Seeing and encountering new bugs all the time (most of which interfere with playing the game and/or directly with mission progress) it's just not worth my time.
So far it's been a huge let down.

EDIT: No stuphs available just yet.

Just like Old Duck, you'll be back

If not, o7

There are simply better games out there.

I mean, you can basically say that of every single game apart from whichever is deemed the best one.

 

[ozrix84]

How bout y'all just uninstall the game quietly without adding to the forum melodrama?

Of course. "Best one" is entirely subjective anyway.

What I'm saying is, there are other games out there that are better, from companies that don't release broken DLCs, or patches that break everything, that scratch the same itches that E: D used to scratch.

Elite Dangerous is not the only fruit.

Pedantry satisfied. You may proceed.

All of you people need to buy bigger hard drives, it's 2021 for God's sake.

 

[Bottom Hat]

Hmmm.... unsure if the OP will return and be angry about someone fencing his stuphs?

How about you just mind your own beeswax and let people post what they like?

If the OP wants to tell Frontier why he's uninstalling their game he's had installed for seven years, that's up to him.

I got his brain tree (mine died 2 weeks back)

Of course Frontier are going to take notice...

 

[Kellan Fell]

They might do if enough people uninstall. Every person leaving is paint-job revenue lost...

 

[Juniper]

Frontier don't really take much notice of anything the players say or do. Since 2013. But that's a whole other argument / discussion, and there's probably hundreds of (ignored) threads on that.

 

[Rat Catcher]

Frontier don't really take much notice of anything the players say

Indeed.

 

[Juniper]

Indeed.

I'm an amateur astronomer in the UK. I shout angrily at clouds regularly. They don't listen, but it makes me feel better.

Enough folk uninstall and they can save more by just dropping the AWS servers and running the remaining players from a ZX 80 that was retired from running a nuclear power station.

Perhaps these players see the forum as a direct medium for letting FD know that they are unhappy with the product they purchased.

After you uninstall the game you will still be playing the forum I guess?
