Yes, ruin the experience for everyone because your friends don't want to support Frontier by purchasing the DLC. And here I thought you liked the company.
Hopefully this includes leaving Horizons as-is on PC rather than replacing it with Odyssey Lite. This will give the best experience to the highest number of players (some of us prefer Horizons over Odyssey) while also enticing those who really want Odyssey features to pay you for those features.
@Rubbernuke got any of that left? I'll buy it off you!
I don't give a toss about the company - whatever could have made you even consider that? I have one title from this company, I don't have shares and know none of their board oe employees personally. I'm offended by the suggestion!
Ruin the experience for everyone? Gosh, you certainly do have a way with words!
@Bruce could I just ask for one point of clarification? Does this mean we can now consider Odyssey planet tech as 'done'? Asking because I've been holding off going deep on exploration in Odyssey because I didn't want any cool locations I find to change at some point. (and also I know there were complaints about Odyssey planets being flatter with less canyons than Horizons as well as the tiling issues).
Wondering how "enjoyable" it is for Tencent to see their stake at Frontier getting burned and suddenly worth less than half...
As someone who's spent the last few weeks exploring full time, I've only noticed the tiling issue of total of once. On the whole, compared to the Absurd unrealism of Horizons planets, I find this to be a distinct Improvement.
I would much prefer you to spend your time tweaking more important things. Making piracy more worthwhile, making rares trading more worthwhile, and of course, critical issues like making the mining Lance decent.
Haha, of course, I'm just joking. But I'm also completely serious please fix the mining Lance.
Dunno, and I don't care, why should I?Wondering how "enjoyable" it is for Tencent to see their stake at Frontier getting burned and suddenly worth less than half...
Maybe they'll sell up and upset the conspiracy theorists?
Out of curiosity could you give the moratorium on what happened versus the Horizen engine? Just curious.
I guess Alec was spot on.
Thank you Bruce. Good to have clarity on this. If this would have been the decision a year ago then I would have disagreed with it and wanted that re-roll of the galaxy.
A year in to Odyssey however, given how relatively little the tiling issue is (it's there but subsequent fixes meant you really have to look for it to spot it) then I agree that it's not worth fixing and re-rolling the galaxy at this point. Re-rolling would mean that exploration so far in Odyssey would be invalidated. That geography discovered so far would disappear forever. Our names would still be on planets but they wouldn't be the same ones that we've mapped, flown over, landed on, driven over and walked on.
Having said that, I still challenge the design decision to completely re-roll all previously discovered Horizons planets. There was history there in people's discoveries that is being overwritten and it would be good to hear about the technical limitations that prevent these historical planets from appearing the same.

I think this is the credo of the company)))
THIS from Flimley! I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell you. It's like hearing your mother tell the Aristocrats joke!
I read this as someone has left the company and we have no idea how to fix what they wrote ...
