Announce to all VR CMDRs

o7 VR CMDRs

I have a suggestion if you are interested. To show to FDEV that we care about VR and we're united in our "simple" request, I suggest (if you agree) to change your username with [VR] in front of your regular username (as someone already did), add the image below in your signature (if you like the idea) and also use an Avatar of your choice (I attach mine for reference) suggesting that you are a VR player that really wish to land on atmospheric planets (without legs). I already changed mine, but in this forum for some reason it takes sometime (more than a day) to see the new one.

This is a peaceful protest without whining.

Already got one thanks.

Ew, another "protest"

 

[Chaparral]

I'd like this to happen. I would really like to know the proportion of VR players to conventional screen players. Then FDEV can make an informed choice about asset allocation in future ED development.

They very likely already know this and have considered it

I agree. Releasing those numbers might temper the "outrage".

 

[Azulkb]

done

You've been here long enough to know that this is wishful thinking. I mean the temper the "outrage" part.

 

[Bigmaec]

I'm outraged.

But I'm also too lazy to protest by changing my avatar.
Guess I'm doing it the SDC way.

VR for Odyssey

Maybe to show that you care about VR. Ask them how much money they would need to develop a whole new experience just for VR players and then pay for the development of it. This isn't like it was back when they added VR support over the weekend for a game in which you sit in one place. Just think about how much work it would be to make it. Then ask yourself if Fdev has the team large enough, the funds for it and most importantly the experience developing something like that.

 

[Bottom Hat]

I prefer my handsome self.

Also, if I changed it to have VR in front of it, I'd become V Randi Coombes .... I'm not sure anyone would appreciate that, again in lieu of my avatar at present...

Otherwise, carry on

If you don't care you don't have to do it.

[Crank Larson]

Not sure I'll go for anything so obvious...

 

[VR SenseiMatty]

Ew, another "protest"

I just started

 

[Dillon Fallon]

Guessing that FDev aren't just sitting around waiting for someone to ask about this or this is how it would be done anyway. What compromise are the rest of us being volunteered to accept?

 

[Old Duck]

Ew, another "protest"

Ooops, wrong protest!

 

[VR SenseiMatty]

What compromise are the rest of us being volunteered to accept?

I can't talk for everyone, but I've seen in this forum that many VR players care most for atmospheric planets in VR and would accept a delay for a full implementation for Legs.
So the compromise here is that we get atmospheric planets at launch (through Horizons) by buying the Odyssey expansion.
We can still play legs in 2D like everyone else when we are curious to try the new contents.

In my opinion this compromise would solve many complaints and at the same time relieve some pressure on FDEV. Win-Win.

If you don't care you don't have to do it.

And if you do care then perhaps do something more productive than the equivalent of "raising your hand".

You're trolling suggesting that I should pay for the development, of course I can't take you seriously.
Maybe you forget that as a customer we already pay for the development by purchasing the final product. In fact I don't expect to receive atmospheric planets in VR for free..
