ANNOUNCEMENT Elite Dangerous | Odyssey: Roadmap

[-VR- Max Factor]

Thanks guys, I very much appreciate all the hard work you are doing in fixing the issues and the enhancements you are making.

 

[Wrecked]

Thanks for the communication. Good luck!

 

[Flimley]

Hooray for everything. \o/

Just wow! This is so much good news. Thank you everyone at Frontier. Love your work and absolutely love Odyssey. o7

Looks good. Still no word on missing flightsuits and decals that people paid for is a bit...not great. I mean Frontier literally took money from people and then deleted the stuff the money was for. That's of pretty questionable ethics, not to mention legality.

Let's remove those repeated quotes...

ROADMAP:

• Loadout UI flow changes
• Adding earned ARX for on-foot gameplay
• Suit Livery UI flow changes
• Codex CMDR stats
• Shared missions
• Galaxy & system map UI updates
• Outfitting UI updates (see forum post LINK)

how quickly was this thrown together dude

Does this mean that once Update 5 drops that there will be no further optimisation on PC until Consoles are ready to receive Odyssey?

I'd like to think the intent of the wording is "we will focus fully on performance after update 5 because we also have to do multi-plat which requires performance improvements anyway" rather than "no more updates after update 5".

If it is the latter, then that is a catastrophically bad decision.

Going to be very honest, I'm disappointed with this roadmap. It barely even qualifies as one.
I hope that the future is brighter.

hey @[VR] Amy Pendergasst How many example in the other thread, do you think we will find in this thread from this point on :}

 

[AntonyVern]

Nice!

 

[Koben]

Is it me or Frontier just told we'll get what is out by Update 5, then they will proceed to work on consoles launch and then fix whatever is left?

My GPU is runnig at 101.5% power usage constantly in Odyssey... Yet framerates are low...

Nope. They have said incremental optimisations will occur over these updates. When those updates are finished, they will then concentrate on consoles which should include more optimisations.

 

[Exigeous]

Thanks for the roadmap.

I assume this first section means that Odyssey isn't expected to be in a full release quality state (with all performance issues and bugs fixed) until console release?

PERFECTLY asked my friend, perfectly asked.

 

[CMDR-ss47ply]

Umm where we going?

 

[millstonebarn]

I'm really looking for to the monthly updates about development progress. A lot of CMDRs are nerds and really like this type of stuff, so I'm sure it will be well received.

 

[Ozric]

Thanks for the update, and thank you for taking my (and I'm sure many others) feedback about this on board.

Finally, we would also like to address the topic of communication. We are aware that many of you have been asking about greater communication, visibility and a change on how we share and update Elite Dangerous moving forward. While we do always try to give as clear a vision for the future as possible, such as Horizons or Beyond season roadmaps, we also must accept that this alone has not hit the mark. Our community have always been the beating heart of Elite Dangerous and we take the feedback very seriously. We are going to be working on new plans and initiatives that we can do to bring you even more in touch with our development progress. Starting with a monthly community update, we will highlight and share the progress that the development team have been making over that month. We will be sharing more details around this, and other initiatives, over the coming weeks.

This bit was the most important for me. A roadmap is a one-time thing. Communication is something that has to be kept up.
Information prevents fires (and gives us "White Knights" more opportunities to counter the hate) ...

 

[CrispyTaytortot]

Great stuff right here. Thanks for keeping us updated and for listening to our feedback!

 

[KronenBrg]

Oh yes, bring it on! RAH! o7
