Ten times

We reached the upgrade 10, and Frontier seems willing to celebrate it as if those updates are about good things introduced to EDO. They are not. Those ten updates are clumsy attempts to solve serious problems, creating others in the process, and an absurd lack of coherence. There is nothing to thank Frontier for. They just (sometimes barely) did their job fixing a shame mess travesty of "full release" they created themselves.

EDO is now more stable, and the performance better. But still EDO "release" is sorely lacking relevant and engaging content, better immersive missions and a useful grinding system instead of a very aggravating (and useless) one.

Finally, imo EDO still is a huge disappointment. Frontier, by mysterious motives, decided to turn ED from an exciting exploration game to a boring and repetitive first person shooter experience.

Yes, we still have all 2022 to see if good things are introduced. But Frontier past record of poor ideas doesn't seem to confirm those expectations.

To the haters and trolls, there's a good motive for celebrations: this is my last post here (and it has a good chance to be censored). I'm done. I shall still play EDO -- I pay a good money for it anyway - and I still, against all odds, have hope that Frontier suffer a NMS's Hello Games syndrome and decides to give us a HUGE improvement in content, quality and transparency for free in the years to come.

Let's see. At least in my case, Frontier, I'll see what will happen to "once upon a time amazing" Elite Dangerous in silence. You're welcome. One less annoying guy to bother you, eh?

Nice another weekly winge thread.


If anyone requires at TL;DR they made the same salient point although less verbose here^

Thanks frontier for the new update.

ED has never been 'a [sic] exciting exploration game'. Exploration has been one aspect of the game and, I'd say, it's been largely untouched other than adding exobiology.

I don't know who you are, so I don't really care enough to celebrate. Then again, I don't see myself as either a hater or a troll.

Apathy is my superpower.

Ah, yes... another lazy comparison to No Man's Sky. I've spent a LOT of time playing NMS. It's a great game. I like the base-building aspect of it and the general gameplay.

But, let's stop comparing it to ED. They are nowhere near the same type of game. It's like comparing Mario Kart to Forza

We can only hope.

I just wonder how long it will be until Frontier finally nails down the performance issues. Again, they have no choice if they want to launch on consoles, but it's getting old at this point of seeing an update, and then having hopes deflated, seeing that people are still experiencing poor performance (though it has gotten better each update overall). I believe they are working hard to squeeze every bit of optimization they can out of game assets, but in my inexperienced opinion the problem needs an experienced graphics programmer to fix. Something has always seemed funky about Odyssey's performance.

I'll probably be on later today to see for myself.

Walk it off.
See you in a couple weeks.
 
Thanks for letting us all know, you're in the book.
As you've written in bold I'm assuming it's definite so I've taken the liberty of using a pen and not the 'old cluck' pencil.
Please confirm with Mr Hat the usual.

Edit: I've just gone back through the records and on 22nd May 2021 you left for good and were taking legal action - how did that go?

To be fair to the OP, he has yet to solicit money or steam gift cards from the community (which run out eventually) so there's more chance of it sticking than Quackers.

Didn’t you leave in December, permanently, for a week?

I‘m not sure if my bookkeeping friend has it jotted down, but I’m sure he’ll make a note about this.

Plus, what happened to exploration in this update (that added no new content) to get rid of exploration? Many of my friends are explorers and seem happy. Genuine question.
 
I'm somewhat surprised the list ends on 16th of June. (Although that might be Vol. 1)

As always, the earlier stuff is really good, proper original sound, but towards the end it got just generic and mass produced, never really recapturing the brilliance of those first few hits.

Ten times, year 2022, and there's still no blood, gore and body dismemberment when shooting on-foot NPCs.
It should be like this when plasma hit a body:
