Congratulations FDev, I no longer care about Odyssey: I'll wait for it to go 75% off in the bargain bin on steam in about a year or two.

[Achtung-Goomba]

I am sorry to say this but my friend and who have both played elite since it very first started will no longerplay this wonderful game if it isn't out of damage control in June.
We have talked at length about this and this our conclusion.

I wish I had friends to stop playing this game with, I guess I’ll just have to stick at it

Well this is quite an original door slam thread, complaining not about the actual game or expansion, but the lack of "hype" over it... No hype no buy! lol

 

[CMDR Serra]

I can I haz your stuffs - when you do actually get the stuffs at 75% off?

The OP must have missed the hype train leaving the station, or maybe I already bought all the tickets... CHOO CHOO

4/10 bazemesons, needs more associates.

Needs more actual quitting.

 

[Sir.Tj]

Play nicely please...........

But where's the fun in that?!

The whole "free on Epic" thing was a good litmus test for FDev.

Anybody who got ED/Horizons free from Epic but is annoyed at having to wait for Oddarsee probably isn't the sort of person who's going to get on with ED anyway.

I do not understand where OP is coming from.

Whilst I totally agree with the OP in the lack of actual Hype for the Odyssey expansion, I'd have expected it to be notched up to 8 or 9 by now, and it isn't, I do actually like the game we currently have, so am doing my very best to remain patient!

If we take the OP's entire post history into consideration, it does become obvious that he/she/it, in a similar manner to myself, is surprised how low-key Frontier is approaching Odyssey.

The comparisons to NMS and CP2077 are curious, and, expectedly the SC Tech Demo reference appears to be mandatory when comparing a released game to an alpha one...

1. Piracy
2. Piracy
3. Piracy
4. Have I mentioned Piracy yet?
5. Piracy
PVP Piracy is an immersion thing. PVE Piracy is knocking out drives and playing bumper cars before you whip out your first hatchet limpet. Both are in a sad state right now. Doesn't help that mining prices directly affect pirating too.
And let's be very clear here: piracy is the most complicated and advanced task in the game. I don't know if the PP thing is truly a bug or that's just FDev lip service, but bump stops are getting old.
Now that legs are on the horizon, how can we not address the elephant in the room that is piracy-on-life support.
I hate to give Star Citizen credit but they've taken a very aggressive approach in support of player piracy and there's zero reason FDev has to play second fiddle here.

Dear FDev,
Do NOT announce anymore games or content. You are horrible at branding, and while overhype is certainly a problem so is underhype. It's almost as if you KNOW Odyssey isn't as polished as you'd like, but much like No Man's and CP2077, the cat is out of the bag and you're on full damage control.
QUELCH THE HYPE, QUELCH THE HYPE!
Well it's worked. I actually couldn't give a' -- about Odyssey. No preorder and I'll wait for it to be in the bargain bin on a steam sale in about a year or two.

There is no hype for your game; the very opposite of overhype, and just as damning. It's almost as if you, FDev, know somethings amiss, and are in full damage control.
I do not care about Odyssey at all and have zero interest to play it.

But, I have to admit, even with the low-key approach to the release of Odyssey by Frontier, I have pre-ordered alpha as I am quite keen to have a play with it as soon as possible.

 

[Quantis Trap]

OP, Frontier appreciates you testing how long a forum post title can be on the way out!

 

[Kenneth McGrew]

I do not understand where OP is coming from.

Bradford? CMDR Thrust was from Bradford, so maybe its Bradford.

then again CMDR Thrust already has Odyssey and ship interiors, and even Small seismic Charges, the lucky devil!

Bradford is in the future, so maybe not Bradford?

 

[Dillon Fallon]

This is a good idea. Excuse me a moment while I go to the Farm Simulator and Hitman forums to let them know I'm not buying their games at the moment, but might do later.

I only post in forums I’m not interested in, otherwise it doesn’t interest me.

 

[Ydiss]

Has no one focused on the reason he's pretending to be upset?

Not enough hype. It's our duty to correct this travesty, people. All abooooooard!

not my image

 

[VR Roxydog]

If this forum was in VR I might enjoy it even more than the game.
I get lots of LOLs here anyway - thanks OP

 

[thistle]

Too late for a ha ha?

TROLL SCORE: 5/10 Good troll, but seems familiar for some reason so points deducted.
