The idea has merit...
Elite Dangerous Community Schedule W/C 28 June 2021
- Thread starter Zac Cocken
- Start date
What happened to the Dev stream that had been talked about? A Dev post isn't really the same thing. If it's going to happen a bit later that's fine, but it really should have been stated in this post. A lot of the community are pinning their hopes on that stream and saying its now just a post without explaining is bound to go down like a lead balloon and Stoke up more salt. Fdev I'm really rooting for you to pull it out of the bag this week please make this good.
exactly this
This is non-sense. These are developers of a game in crisis. FDev can find devs to make time to give us substantial, credible information. They've had ample time to organize it. If they can't even do that or can't be bothered then this game has gone hollow.
Come on guys... enough with the nervous baiting and switching. Some of us are trying to find bright sides amid the absolute tidal wave of negativity and anger towards Odyssey. If you say you're gonna do a stream, just do a stream, even if you're uncomfortable about it.
Their upcoming games are licensed IP. If the people who's licenses they have acquired are following how they have handled Odyssey it is very possible that the entire company is in danger. F1 and Games Workshop are both very protective of their brands.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNothing about Powerplay? RN is gonna blow his top
Being more serious, I'd pity the fool who had to go into the Powerplay jargon hell live on camera. As long as the dev post contains actual information and is well presented, I'll be OK with it- well, if its good news about Powerplay. If its a Dear John post, I really will explode and be very grumpy.
This makes sense, there might as well be a possiblity that all are very busy and no one can be available, however the point is not that it is not happening per se, but the fact that there is no communication to confirm our speculations.
Good communication would be: "Sorry, we'll need to postpone again due to shortage of available personnel. On the other hand, we are reserving a specific date for this to happen on... etc."
At least this is what is generally done in a professional environment.
ow trust me I'm not trying to make excuses for them, I'm as frustrated as all of you, just pointing out a possible scenario
FDevs other games are flying, its even said that they bring in far more money than ED, that's where they will be looking at
Hope geo sites get some love.
So the stream becoming a post is not a good thing at all. I hope that's a typo because now is not the time to bait switch the audience like that a stream would have helped you PR wise. Also communication from CMs and everything seemed real good the first week of their new community engagement and things feel like they're back to before already.
It's a possible scenario that is entirely detached from the reality of the situation. "There simply wasn't anyone available given that these things tend to happen after work hours" simply can not exist in their mindset or language right now. Again, they've had ample time to organize this. There's no excuse unless they're just not concerned about the survival of Elite. The future of Elite pivots this week on the dev post as well as the promised dev stream.

I have to share the concern about the lack of developer stream. I've been looking for every excuse to buy Odyssey even if it isn't finished but somehow FDev manages to under deliver even then.
I believe you used the term "Make or break" update. I'm not holding on to hope this update will "make" it but a real look into the issues and future plans is way overdue. If this is just another "Many improvements and bug fixes" kinda thing with no real information about the state of the DLC or plans to address it there is no coming back.

Unless the post is locked, I'm also looking forward to the 'banter' afterwards
Games Workshop isn't protective of their licence when it comes to games. Dozens ranging from great to awful have released over the past few years.
F1 is the complete opposite however, and I very much expect that Formula One Group are keeping a careful eye on Elite Dangerous Odyssey reception and FDev's reputation as a result.
From what I remember the F1 license can be ended early if the return is not as expected.
Probably; I'd expect Formula One Group to have prudent contract terms like that.
My thoughts exactly. I just found out on YouTube it was a post and not a stream and didn’t believe it until I came to the forums….
This is the last week a majority of players will have the patience for. It needs to go as smooth as possible and need a big win.
Your post made me chuckle as you summed up my thoughts precisely with “eeepps”
Good luck this week Elite
