Yeah, I was a little sarcastic.
Frankly? I was hoping for one Dev Diary every 2 or 3 weeks showing new things about Odyssey like some spectacular views, weapons in action, planetary hubs, new biological discoveries etc.
Now we got one Dev Diary every 6 weeks (at best). And I'm still hoping that Diaries will appear more often the closer the Odyssey will be released.

FDevs - They are the drivers of this train. I think when they told us: "We have Dev Diaries for you", it's normal to think there will be some more diaries than the single one The fact you drag up ARX to try and make a dig at "dev time" shows you seem to be out of touch and have an endless axe to grind more than anything. The type of person who makes companies wary of being fast and loose with their behind the scenes in the public domain.
Lets face it, dev diaries, writing on forums, dreaming, artist impressions etc is just never going to make the optional DLC appear any faster.
lol,I know what a forum is, thanks, I do not pretend that they are faster at this point,or put them to work somehow....
just show my disapproval with them, that was my first comment, but seems that some of you can not overcome that.
If anyone is interested in analysing the update frequency, here's a link to the old Dev update threads. I found them very helpful at the time.
Those tie in to the categories in the steam page and the press release sent to media, so very likely those are the topics.
We know the 2nd is done just not released yet, thats perhaps the environments one (just guess based on Arthur saying we will see inside stations), so 3 more after that? End October, end November/dec time, maybe the last one after xmas? Seems reasonable.
It's a matter of perspective, no?
Mine is we know the 2nd was DONE within a month of the first, but has been delayed by apparent edits. So a month - 6 weeks seems like it was the plan.
Yours is ... ? We're two weeks at most late, so doomed?
Well believe it or not, but there are Cmdrs who are indifferent to communication.
They say they take the things when they come.
I have often read this on the forums.
Maybe todays stream will have a little info. Will likely be at 11:00 am UTC. However I feel it will be more of the same. It seems to be challenging for them to edit out all the spoilers.Still no update.
Interesting to be reminded how free they were with info, but also how many things in the updates immediately before Horizons (especially this update) never ended up arriving in the final version. Prison breaks, combat zones over surface sites...
It shows maybe why they've become so tight-lipped over time, and why they answer certain Odyssey-related questions with "we don't know yet". People say "how can they not know, it's just around the corner!" but in fact the same was the case with Horizons, and it genuinely does appear that their workflow leaves some major unknowns in place right up to a few weeks before release.
No stream so far. Don't they usually have one on Tuesdays?
Monday 12:00 uk times, 11:00 utc, 45mins time. Usually.
Stephen has just confirmed the regular stream today, 11:00 UTC

Okay. Is that 12:00 GMT For UK? Which would mean for me (GMT+1) around 13:00. Because when i looked at UTC it said 12:00 my local time.
They should just show what they recorded, a few spoilers is okay.
Yep
I've no idea. I think you are wrong about GMT.
It's at 11:00 UTC, which is 15mins from now.
Here in Sunny (ha ha ha) Scotland it will be 12:00 BST, again 15mins from now. GMT is currently 10:48, GMT+1 (ie BST) is actually 11:48.
