Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 7 Notes

[Rat Catcher]

Before SC 3.15 releases

Why should Frontier care? It isn't as if SC is going to be a 'released' product for the forseeable future.
(Although I am starting to feel that maybe Odyssey is / was broken beyond repair - 4 months (which doesn't even come close to the alpha you refer to, of course) after 'release' and the update has progressed very little - perhaps they are taking a leaf from SC's book after all!

Has it been patched properly...?

0.0% change to DPS on an existing module. EDSY reckons I should be getting +27.7%.

It's not an effect I have applied on many weapons so can't compare to others.

Yeah we are looking into it... so many things going screwy.. efficient mod on PAs only doing 4.8% increase.. they weren't even meant to be touching the weapons balance according to patch notes.. really a mess right now. Hope they fix in morning.

 

[Bullets]

Sure I do. Removing all development is terrible. Might as well set money on fire or send death threats to a major politician.

Its up there wirh anti-vax for not a smart idea.

See look at his alternatives. Doesn't know good ideas

 

[Ian Skippy]

Efficient mod of PAs not giving correct buff.. Fdev absolutely screwing with everything right now!

As always, assume nothing works after a major ED patch.

 

[Dinbar]

Thanks for the update.

It seems that some planets don't generate the atmosphere until you have cruised down to the surface level and then it appears. I'll do more testing and raise a ticket if so.

atm SC is running better than ED so there's that reason.

Yeah, saw the message after I'd posted and checked my Vulture with 2 efficient PAs, +4.8% DPS instead of +24%. Won't take that out for now then.

And considering they weren't even touching balance in this patch OMG!!

Not on my PC it isn't.... FPS is even lower than Odyssey..... Although it did get a little better when I dropped from 4K to 1080... (I run Odyssey in 4K and (up until today) only had FPS as poor as SC on a couple of bodies with extraction facilities)

... but maybe your PC is better than my own

But, nice of you to join today to pass on your message

Sorry for the ping Sally.. @sallymorganmoore

One of the PvPers has found a HUGELY important bug..
A Plasma accelorator they have has bugged stats and is putting out massive damage.. it's not just a visual error.. Have just seen it one-shotting a shielded conda!

This would be disasterous for anyone to have!

Are they interested in selling it?

Asking for a friend who's cr*p at combat.






(me. I'm asking for me.)

In Odyssey Update 6, at 4K on high settings, I averaged 80FPS across play sessions. In SC 3.14 I was averaging 33FPS. Also 3.15 has a database wipe only benefiting Pay2Win whales, imagine grinding around 30k's and constant bugs. Eww, no thanks.

Also, welcome to the frontier forums new SC marketing account, will you be promoting SC a lot here?

 

[Andro]

Options to enable or disable suit voice lines have been added.

By far the star of the update for me. Thank you!

point is, how many of us started playing Elite to run around on foot? I wanted to fly around in a ship, explore the universe, etc. Listen, Ody was a nice attempt but things are getting worse and the community is leaving for an alpha that will probably never be released.
and yeah there's loads of optimizations to help your frames, I max mine at 60 and run in 4k. While I see drops at certain new stations everywhere else its good.

 

[Northpin]

Yup. Everyone agrees with it. EDO is officially one of the most disliked games in the entire history of Steam. And all they had to do to make it positive was be honest. That's it.

I feel sorry for the devs but Braben and the Board Bois totally deserve the fiasco.

Yep, i've said it months ago.
If FDev launched the game as Early Access, a lot of things would have gone differently in terms of image and perception from their customers.

I was desperately missing this ability in last round Galaxy trip.
Space legs is the cure for Space Madness.

Of course you do...

Is the community from here leaving to play the eternal alpha, are they staying?

Dropping your code next?

Well I did suggest waiting until tomorrow to fix this. Probably not a bad idea in retrospect.

 

[Pigletslastand]

Guys.. Fdev.. please!! what did you do to all the weapon effects?? I hope to goodness you patch this tomorrow morning! You managed to hit nearly all of the effects, If this was intended why wasn't it in the patch notes, if it wasn't intended WOW! It's gone really wrong somewhere.. hope it's a quick fix!

SRB engineered weapons had an unintended buff. Seems the solution was to remove additional damage from all weapon mods until a proper fix can be applied.

No really, tell us more about how the competitors $50+ alpha test stays crunchy even in milk. That's absolutely what we're all here for.
