Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 5

[Sysmon]

The Tormentor (pistol) is rather useful too!

Grind? I'm 'just playing' and doing stuff I find fun and progressing reasonably well... Although I think the mat requirements for Odyssey upgrades are totally 'over-the-top-stupid' and will pick up the last couple of bits of data for both long-range and reduced tool consumption then stop, otherwise I will feel like I'm imposing "GRIND" on myself. No doubt in a few months I'll have another upgrade or two in stock (but as my other account is in Colonia I have had to come back to the bubble to do engineering in Odyssey!)

Tormentor and the Executioner is a good combo.

You should be doing those with no weapons at all
And they are perfectly doable (quite easy actually) if you pick threat 3 missions.

I haven't really mastered Odyssey stealth yet. Too used to Skyrim. Or possibly Warframe.

Also I didn't really want to go down the habitual criminal path.

I tried a G5 Aphelion, but trying to aim those many headshots needed to kill someone, makes one vulnerable to enemy snipers.

TK-Eclipse and AR-50 on Dominator suit myself, good to see the whites of their eyes!
G5 Tormentor sidearm too .. and the only weapon equipped to Maverick.

Tormentor with Noise Suppression, Audio Masking, Mag Size and Range
NPC: "Stop there I need to scan you" - the last words they ever uttered

Hello! I'm back! At least I hope I replied last night saying I was going to check in on this otherwise saying "I'm back" will make me look daft, BUT
Both happy and sad to say that firstly, these are issues in the QA/Dev side system with regression being carried out for further checks and breakdown - the flip side is that I don't have an update for you on the progress further without more of those tests. I'll keep it on my radar for you!

Hi sorry, just logged on - That's ok, news in general is good news, thanks for the update!
I'll try and drum up some more netlogs for the NHSS side just in case - as long as it doesn't bury anything, more data can't hurt I figure =)

Nice although Audio Masking a rocket launcher is an interesting choice

It is.
Fire one rocket to the unsuspecting scav = dead scav.
Rest of the scavs cannot pinpoint the source, but they hear the explosion at the destination. And converge there.
Two more properly aimed rockets and some more scavs join the first one.

If you are interested in stealth, I found these tutorials to be really useful https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxYYtWUe1zoGDGjAvfW1gaw

The grind is real for the people trying rush EDO.
Apparently some are trying to "finish" EDO really fast so they can move to other activities (or other games)

No rush, no grind.


Edit: the only thing that kills it for me is the bulk materials caps.
They add an unnecessary chore under the form of permanently managing the inventory, making lists with things i need, things i dont need, thing i need to dispose off so i can make more room for the things i need... an so on.

Oooo, thanks! I'll take a look once this week of shooting up Feds is over.

It's a sniper rifle - if they have their shields up then you aren't being stealthy enough

Man, your battle guinea pig is awesome :-D

Yep, reminds me of the fleet carrier launch ..

I'm sorry, maybe I'm not translating correctly.
But as I understand your being here only to take negativity off of people without doing any real work?
Did I get it right?

errrr. a tad out of order.
Remind me how insulting a CM encourages them to work with us?

No more updates? Why? There are too many bugs in the game, which makes the gameplay almost impossible! Update # 5 has very few fixes and even more in-game issues. Why is this happening? Who needs it? Does this situation mean that this game will soon be closed?

 

[amigacooke]

Community Managers are the voice of the game, I guess is a way you can think of it, right?

Then can I suggest you all say 'ouch' at the moment

Thanks Sally, it's good to get posts answered.

I hope not.

Who says there will be no more updates?

I'd love FD to do an experiment and halve the unlock costs and mat requirements for everything- mainly as to allow more experimentation from players. Too much of the game is focused on unlocking and not actually playing with what you unlock really.

They aren't saying there will be

Combine testing it with an event or CG for a week and they would have a pretty useful set of data.

Ah. On this basis I am going to my local supermarket and buying EVERYTHING because they have not said there will be more food arriving.
