The full release is postponed till autumn. That's a delay in my book.
Touche'
20 pages I think we can do it @Factabulous @Rat Catcher
Quite strange that some openly revel in the idea that the launch of Odyssey might be a failure just so they can say I told you so to some randos on the intertubes.
Well... I hope it soars high as smooth as possible
but, Remember the
A game released in 1995?
A game rushed to release
In 1995
Have you been reading the forums then? I've heard nothing but "It'll be different this time" and the dozens of magical reasons why it will be different or my favorite the "Nobody knows what Fdev has done and how it will play out." Granted, while I cannot see the future, I certainly can read the past and use that as a guide toward how this release will probably be conducted.
And it's just almost laughable if it wasn't so sad, that people seem to just want Fdev to keep doing what they've been doing, even though they KNOW it's sub par, then later will complain why things are sub par AND do so while expecting Fdev to operate in a vacuum as if world events don't affect them. It's truly amazing to see the mental gymnastics going on here in a cycle that just doesn't seem to ever end nor anyone want to seek to escape from. Especially since there IS a better way and Fdev is perfectly capable of it. And that is the thing, I wouldn't be taking the time to make the argument/discussion over it if I knew Fdev wasn't capable of it. I've met with a few these people, I've talked with a few these people (at various events), they are capable of being better than this. People need to demand that Fdev be better about this stuff, and if we need to trade time for quality then so be it. At this point, it's basically too late for Odyssey, and that is going to be a damn shame.
Someone replied to my previous post saying that since this is considered a partial release they consider it a delay. Well, I have to give them points for that. This means this "partial release" is basically an unannounced beta test for all intents and purposes and that is a shame. Instead of releasing a full and consistent experience, they are going to piecemeal it.
So basically an unannounced Beta? someone else in the thread made that point, and going down that road, now it just makes Fdev seem very sleazy.
uh huh
Page 80! Tier 4 rewards unlocked!
C'mon, we can make tier 5

Look at it this way...
Most of us posting here will be playing the Odyssey Release from launch.
It will have bugs.
Youtubers will be reviewing the Odyssey Release
The Computer Press will be reviewing the Odyssey Release
There will be players streaming the Odyssey Release on social media.
There will be a couple of posters here arguing with all of the above

I'll need to remember and stop by and say hello.
This is the forums! Remember the DDF! Remember off the cuff comments by Sir Brabs on the Kickstarter! Remember 1995!
So, historically we are ovedue a global war, one will start Tuesday... (looking at past events, of course)
The most notice that would be taken by Frontier is if these 'demanding better' crowd, whoever they may be, withdrew their support, surely? Without finance coming in from ED Frontier have two choices, bin it, or see how they can improve it... Of course, being a business, bin it will take priority.
Gosh!

Betas can't fail. Quite strange that some insist on calling this one a release just so they can call it a failed release if it has bugs.
Wow you didn't even mention the 10 year plan, steam keys, offline-gate, Horizons seasons, powerplay, was that dress gold or blue, Kony 2012 or LEPpers.
