Patch Notes Update Elite Dangerous: Horizons patch 2.0.05

[CMDR Kantos Kan]

And you clearly don't know it. You can't release a patch unless it is fixed. Yes bugs are prioritised but typically will fall into quick fixes and fixes that need more testing or even more development. Clearly this is a quick win patch.

Software development is a thankless job. I'd sack you just for the attitude you display on here.

Maybe I don't know software development but I've been earning a living for almost 25 years now, so, if I didn't know a thing or two, I think I would have long switched to something else.

How long have you been doing it professionally yourself?

Yes, bugs take time to fix them. But, you need TO SPEND time to fix them. They won't fix themselves alone. And working on NEW FEATURES is not going to automagically fix the bugs. You just can't work forever on fixing bugs, you have to DELIVER at some point. Do you know what that means?

I suggest to stay on topic and refrain from personal remarks please, guys and gals.

Good to see another patch

Has there been an announcement on 2.1 release date? March??

No confirmation on 2.1 yet unfortunately.

Thanks rootsrat. Will have to keep up to speed with the Dev diaries!!

Well, some people speculate, based on the last year's release schedule for Season 1, that it will be in February. But that's only speculations

Well that would be perfectly fine with me

Ditto!

 

[who?]

Assuming there's going to be a beta period, you'd have to think it can't be too far off. And we still haven't heard anything about the "Looting" side of the "Crafting and Looting". We haven't even heard much about the Crafting side, other than the Engineers/Mechanics are going to look spiffing. Sometimes I think Frontier doesn't really respect us, thinks we can be easily distracted by shiny new..

..is that a new paintjob in the store?!? $$$$$$$$

So, I can hunt down Kumo Crew supply ships without running up a bounty? THANK YOU!

I'm just gob-smacked FD contintue in expanding the game for a totally selfish reason. Just take the recent Salvage CG for "Presidential 1". All it is collecting canisters and a huge wreck leaving an evolving possible storyline for imagination just as The Barnicles. All this is for Explorers and is a distraction from doing their own trailblazing just to meet up with other players. I think it's for DEVS to have their own fun in just this one area. They don't even always show up on all players Instances! Come on FD, put all the Content into the Main Game - you know what we want by reading the Suggested Ideas & Feedback Section. Take us Seriously.

no, that's not what it means. Not affecting the BGS is different than avoiding the crime and punishment system.

I really hope we don't have to wait 1-3 months for the 2.1 update, because that may mean many Missions are broken for a long long time. An utterly incomprehensible way to treat players on an MMO-style game.

Last year, the first update dropped at the end of February, so I suspect this is the last patch we'll see before the Beta drops.....my guess is around mid-February for the Beta.

Allow local news articles to only be shown at certain markets within a single starsystem

What does this mean? What is 'local' in this context? What's a market?

Does it matter how many stars the system has? /cheek

Thanks.

Wake me up when you finally unleash the BGS from it's cage.

Thanks Captain Alpha Genesis for the detailed explanation on BGS - very enlightening.

This is a server update, it affects everybody. Updating the xbox version of a game I believe costs about $25,000.

That doesn't seem to be true anymore: http://m.windowscentral.com/week-xbox-one-news-november-22-2015

Since missions are generated server-side, it shouldn't even NEED a client update. Just stop known-broken missions from being spawned on the server, until they can fix them.

This is probably the only sensible negative comment I've seen on this thread. It would probably amount to little more than commenting out a few lines of code.

Naw; keep it in its cage.
