That´s an awesome piece of work.

I still have that irrational hope that Ed only referred to the community meet and they'll show some fancy new stuff to the press. I am just not good enough at pessimism.

Cheers, nice of you to say so It has turned into a bit of a behemoth.

They took time to set expectations low for gamescom in general... Prepare to be" very disgruntled"...

I am already sharpening my pitchfork.

I am already sharpening my pitchfork.

I got a couple of Watneys Party 7s; if they don't say what I want to hear they're getting both barrels.

I don't really mind if they don't announce anything new past Beyond at gamescon. They'd already said earlier in the year something about announcing after Q4 of Beyond dropped so I'm willing to wait until the holiday season. Even then, I would give them slack. ED is an amazing work, and if FD need more time to work on updates before it's ready for announcing, I'm good with it.

I don't get the point of a company going to a gaming thing only to close door the event.
I understand even less the point of releasing unusable info to the media under NDA.

They have more than one franchise though, there may be non-ED news.

 

[CMDR Pugwash]

I'm expecting some news on the Q4 release. They must be well along the development path by now.

That's fine, I don't get the closed door strategy at a trade show, is all.

Nvidia new RTX 2080 GPU today and Elite Dangerous news on Thursday.

 

[NMS]

Fingers crossed for an X4 release date.

Same here

With or without surprises on ED, the main part is that Frontier participates in the events like this one.

Although a few surprise on ED would be very nice.

Wat? The community event - for the community - that was fully subscribed?

I understand even less the point of releasing unusable info to the media under NDA.

.. that was made up by the community? I'd ask the people on here who made that one up.

... Though I guess you could be saying you don't understand why people on here make stuff up - in which case we are in agreement

Yes a free copy of ED for any purchase of an RTX 2080

Let's hope for some even little ones.

Or a free RTX 2080 with any purchase of ED.

Gamescon will be used for an exciting announcement of the general time of day when the 3.2 patch notes will be published in the forum on the 28th.
