Hey, folks. If there are any Xboxers who like the idea of a parallel Legacy expedition following DW3's route as best we can, I've floated the idea over on the Playstation forum. I assume that we can still share the same galaxy? Or, if you know of an effort to do this that I've not seen, I'd love to hear about it.
DW3 Legacy?

Although they're not officially going to be able to support Legacy alongside Live, they organisers have said that they're welcoming any console commanders onto the register for the journey. I imagine your best bet of finding other people doing it would be on the Fleetcomm Discord. The DW3 thread does mention that they will set up channels for consoles in there. There's a link to it in this thread.

Six years have passed — six long years since the stars last called us forth. But now, the wait is over! It's time to brush the dust off those cherished DW1 and DW2 decals, breathe life back into your trusty old rust buckets that once took you to Beagle and back, and ready yourself for a journey...
Not everyone is as completely negative as you, and is still able to enjoy something without feeling the need to try to stop everyone else from having fun.
Can always post what you find and/or tag it in Odyssey later.

You came into a thread that someone made in a positive light, looking to engage other people enjoying the game to take part in something. And told them there's no point because of your feelings towards the company. That is not pragmatic.

I signed up there and searched for stuff a month ago before my first post the PlayStation forum here. But I should definitely look again, and ask around in case there are dozens of us waiting for someone e to pipe up. Thanks for the reminder!
Look, I get it. I'm a latecomer to ED, finally bought into it when it was on sale in the PS store last year. There were some pretty miserable moments in the year that followed.
Not sure what you meant about the codex updating as it seems to be tracking places I've visited and checking off stuff I've seen (no firsts, of course. And yesterday I verified via my alt that first discoveries I've made show my name when others visit them. That's more than enough for me.
But, like I said, I get it.
I'm just trying to give ppl a heads up ! Alot of us don't have an infinite amount of time to play this. I am just trying to inform the anyone that this is a possibility.

First discovered for you, or the first reported in a region? The only entries that get reported into the Codex are for the first person in the game to discover one type of something in the whole region. The Codex was put into the game in 2018, the majority of reports were made within the first 12 months. If you see an entry in the Codex for something, it has already been reported by someone else.
When you first visit and scan a certain type of object in the Codex for a region you get a 'confirmed' entry added to the Codex and you get a voucher that is worth a bit more than any subsequent version of that object you scan. The Codex only shows you the very first object you scanned in a region.
All Codex entries are registered instantly and don't need any data to be sold.
The Codex itself has many, many issues. I know because I have raised over 25 individual bug reports for it on the Issue Tracker
(I also had 110 first reported entries on PC before Odyssey was released)
