Thank you. I have already raised some reports on the tracker and added to other ones. Let me know if you need any more context.
Can this please be restored to its original condition, prior to the unneeded changes in Update 4?
Right now, after you repair/restock, it jumps straight to Launch/Disembark instead of Starport Services.
Update 5 didn't fix anything, it only made the issue less apparent.
Thanks
I mean, surely the game should be about experimentation and not gated as it is?
Take engineer unlocks. Why so high numbers? I'd rather just see one unit as a gift (bring a bottle of Lavian Brandy and we'll talk it over) sort of thing. You did that action, off we go- not get players to do it over and over. Qwent-25 terminals (if I remember right)? Why? The 25 is two allocations + 1 with the 25th is one over an allocation. What do you do with all those TVs?
This is before balancing out the blueprints themselves, but if you have hundreds of blueprints why make it a slog to get them all (and play with them?).
just disable the alarms first, hahahaha
... which says that after Update 5 they will be focusing on bringing the consoles up to Odyssey, so that once those are in the same position they will be able to do updates for everyone.
But what about having to move all those microwave ovens? Or what about the kitchen deliveries?
Who's going to move these refrigerators, while you're moving those colour TV's?
Eh?
That's what I want to know!
The Knopfler Effect?
Can you please tell me when the release will be on consoles? Where is the release date for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey on consoles? And will this release be on consoles? Where did you see the release date on consoles? IMHO - if there is no exact release date, then these promises are not worth a cent.
Soon™
Is it coming soon in 2024?
When will it be released? When it's done.
Or if it's like the PC release ... about 6 months before it's done
Who knows? Unless they do a Switch version I'm not particularly interested in consoles.
I was just pointing out that a post saying "we have other stuff we have to do before we can do more updates" is not the same thing as "there will be no more updates".
It doesn't. It specifically states that they won't do anything unless they feel like it. If I only worked if I felt like it... boy I'd be on vacation all year round.
Let's disect the marketing speak.
we are also aware that development work for console will allow for even larger performance optimisations and enhancements for PC too.
This part doesn't state it will come to PC. They are just aware that it allows them to do so. Doesn't mean they will.
Therefore, we feel the best approach for all our Commanders will be to focus our development efforts after Update 5 on performance and the console release,
I feel that writing this post is completely useless. Realize something? Did do it anyway. Sentence hence doesn't mean it will be that way.
and to bring our multi-platform community together once more,
Doesn't talk of performance - just the split playerbase.
which will also allow us to bring even more global optimisation changes and updates to all Elite Dangerous Commanders.
Yeah and it allows them to do so which again doesn't mean they will.
They never stated there will be any further PC optimization enhancements in the development cycle of Odyssey, but hey it allows them to do so. Note the strong difference in wording between updates 1-5 will come and "further optimizations blah blah not gonna happen".
If I lived in the UK, I'd certainly do just that, considering food shortages are common nowadays.
You are right, the developers have other games that are more profitable.
If between now and the console release is a beta in all but name, why not have mini server side patches for balance? Inform us ahead of time what you'll be changing, is it better / worse? Even if its a few things, thats still more done ahead of time that the community know about and have tested.
