Combat Triangle- Odyssey

i think some people have very high expectations for a $39.99 DLC :).

It is priced low because it doesn't add much besides FPS gameplay... it's essentially the same price as Squadrons (on launch day).
 
Yes, there was quite a bit of information on the Christmas stream and on the interview there. It was very good, even without much gameplay footage.

I, along with a number of other people distinctly heard him say “rain” when describing the differences in the suits..

Don't think I heard that. Can you link to the point in the stream, or place the word in the actual context/sentence that you heard? Even paraphrase it?
 
When plants on planets appear that we can go play with, would this triangle you speak of, look different from space? One could almost drum up a mental image of it looking like the surface had become a little hairy. Just pondering.

My only concern is they've only showed off one map to date. Maybe that one map isn't compatible with the fleet missions?

Apart from that though, it was decent for what it was. Now that we know its likely going to be just another mission board, measuring to that its looks... better than srv's at least.
 
Hey in the current game we have a combat . . . line? Barbell? With the totally awesome and all-caps TACTICAL gameplay involving ships+SRVs. SRVs stage ground assaults while ships provide air support. This is already in the game. They talked it up in the run up to Horizons, and even put together a teaser trailer with an SRV careening around under heavy fire while ships flew low overhead - it looked super exciting. And, since it is technically possible for a group of players to get together and fly ships+SRVs together in a coordinated choreographed scene like that, it means they were in no way lying or misrepresenting the game. Combat triangle is gonna be like that.

This is 100% what I am worried about.

What's to worry about? They said its going to be possible, so unless FD are pulling a CIG then it will be possible.

Whether it will happen is a different matter. Galaxy is big, so unless you are friends with a few likeminded people its not likely to happen organically.

Also, unless FD are improving the networking, i can guess if you get more than a few ships, SRVs, and players on foot, there will be issues.

They said SRV/ship combat would be a thing.

Let's be honest, is it- technically possible? yes- anything designed for it? anything that actually works with it?

no... not really.

I just hope that's not how odyssey turns out.

Yes, they said ship/foot/srv combat would be possible. From what we heard, they have it working as well.

From what we heard it will be something you can do as part of missions, although as they said, anti-air defenses will be solid.

So, as i said, unless FD are barefaced lying, then it will be a part of it.

Whether there will be any point of doing this from a PvP perspective, i'm doubtful, but that's not why i play ED. I'm sure some people will organize PvP fights on legs. We might even have our own budding Rexshilla in the community, ready to shout into his microphone while commanding and briefing the troops for combat in a totally unorganic battle.

I don't know... (never done them) but aren't the surface wing missions allegedly played with both SRV & ship?
