CODEX does not contain our previous discoveries

Apparently allthough they said so, the codex does not contain our previous discoveries. But for some reason it does contain our audio logs which is pretty funny.
A huge dissapointment for me.

I have now 4 discoveries in total. And i cannot see other people's previous discoveries in the codex, like i can in edsm. It simply started counting from yesterday. This is embarassing for a game that exploration is such a vital part of it.

I'm just glad I already reached elite in exploration. This update ruined it.

My eyes burnt out reaching explo elite, so I couldn't see my tags even if I wanted to![knocked out]

I wouldn't be re-visiting my old discoveries so if they get re-tagged, it's OK.

I can't even find my discoveries that I discovered yesterday..

I have no clue how to read the codex, it says i have 7 discoveries, but I have no clue where I need to go to read back what I discovered.

For me the milestone of Elite Explorer was undermined around the time of passenger missions being introduced to get rank in it, not that I had a problem with the missions in and of themselves; the rank progression was just no longer a relevant value for the amount of exploration nor the way I go about it in the game. These days I just use the unique systems visited stat for my arbitrary milestones.

I'm actually out revisiting some of my more interesting discovers currently. Hoping to make it back for DW2 in good time. Still have around maybe 35K Ly to go though.

Well that's true too. Just its over now, rather than merely tainted.
Admittedly I did get the last 10% or so of Pioneer-Elite under the tainted regime, but most of it I did the old way.

Weird stuff, how does this work then ?
A players original discovery tag remains on the planet, but the Codex entry will show the name of the player who first discovered it after 3.3 ?
Don't plan to update until x-mas holidays, but that whole Codex thing already has a smell of DOA to me now.

i expected this but its dissapointing.

I suspect it comes down to the fact it would use up a lot of bandwidth and server time downloading it all to commanders.

Would like to think they could initiate a trickle down update so that its done over a few weeks to minimise load

I believe that if you visit MY discovery, it will be added to my codex as my discovery. Anything else would be idiotic. This is very disappointing though. If eddb can get this info, why can't FD?

I'm glad that at least it displays my Elite ranks properly. According to the Discoveries section in the Codex I haven't done anything in the past 2000+ hours with the game. :) Oh yes I did. I discovered 10 planets and a geyser.

I was planning to write up my overall thoughts on this patch, but just for you fellow explorers; Best I can tell, there is NO global Codex. It's a personal one only. You get suggestions from other Commanders as to galactic bodies they've been too since the patch under "Reported", but the Confirmed are all the locations you've been too and handed the data in for. So it's not even creating a new database from scratch, only logging your own. I expect people to quickly locate where on your own hard drive that database actually is... And you can't tell who holds the records for a particular type etc, because it'll only ever be the systems you've been too. And if you follow the Recorded, you'll only ever go to locations already discovered.

Maybe later Frontier will manually add "Rumoured", but I bet that it's not going to provide any way to direct yourself to undiscovered stars etc; I've finally lost all hope Frontier can actually do anything more than add new models to the game; nothing they do gameplay wise seems to be anything more than new front ends or UI set ups for the content they've already got.

I just hope they fixed the bug from the beta where I discovered a bunch of things in a galaxy sector, then crossed over into a different sector, but when I looked back at the codex at the first sector it said 0 discoveries. So basically it was only showing discoveries I'd made in the sector I was currently in.

That bug and the bug where it's possible to scan an item in space unless you had been into the new FSS and out again first, otherwise you just get a stupid message like 'cannot do that in this mode'. Same problem in SRV, couldn't shoot because it said 'cannot do that in this mode' but it was impossible to change mode in the SRV, so had to log out of game and back in to use the weapons on the SRV :( - I wanted to retest that yesterday but their old little server was breaking under the strain of a new release, just like last time.
