Latest stream has more dislikes than likes... FD are you listening?

Oh look, another suss new account only g Elite. I bought it, I can play it fine. I take it that by using the third person term 'they' that you never bought it? If that is so, please don't speak on my behalf, I don't recall choosing you (or any others for that matter) to represent my views singularly or as an Odyssey purchaser in general. Thanks.
Careful.. when i pointed out new accounts that were sussed i got a warning and my post instantly removed.. wouldn't want that to happen to you now.
 
Hey Piglet,

At the moment we're focusing on some of the big hitter feedback regarding PowerPlay that have been circulating for a while, for example, the idea of 'Open-only' PowerPlay. We're weighing up the pros and cons of both, as well as the technical aspect, and once we have a decision we'll feed that back, but I can't put a timescale on that considering a lot of focus is on Odyssey at the moment. Once we have a handle on the bigger things, I think it would be a good idea to have a focused feedback thread.

I really hope you dont really consider such a divisive approach as an Open Only Feature (any feature, for what is worth, not only Powerplay)
 
If it was my forum, i'd link being able to post on these forums to an FDEV ID, and an active one at that, i.e you have played in the last month. There are too many self confessed posters who don't play the game anymore but lurk telling us its bad. There are other places those people can go and have a pop at FDEV, such as reddit, where they have a natty system of up and down voting posts.
 
PowerPlay: Still working on behind the scenes, considering options based on player feedback. We know the PowerPlay community want change.
You've been working on that for 6 years now or so. Or did the team just start a few days ago after those 6 years of void?
Either way I'm not buying it. A deep insight in the developement process would be much more appreciated.
Like, which work structure do you use (something like SCRUM?), what are your internal principles when working on content, what are your high and low(er) priority TODOs?
Who are the active devs working on EDO in the first place? Introduce them to us! Most would probably be very happy to get to know the actual dev team.

Transparency. Nothing against you CMs but ever since the beyond series it feels like FDev utilizes you CMs as a wall to seperate the team from the community for whatever reason.
 
because...

1. the current VR solution in Odyssey on foot is at best a 'work around' at launch solution just to get something up and running... its basically rubbish and barely any better than desktop projection which you can do in any game. So no I completely reject the notion that its supported, it uses a kludge which I get they needed to do day one but to have no plan or future isn't acceptable unless you're an non-VR user in which case who cares right?

2. frame rate and performance is crucial to VR, you can't have a situation where frame rate tanks and it being VR compatible/supported the two are incompatible

3. because VR renders high resolutions you can't just take the HMD off and play on a 1440p monitor expecting it to work as if your PC only has to display that image it is still rendering the VR image so you suffer the same performance penalties in 2D as you would in VR unless you restart the game in purely 2D monitor mode, that's no solution

4. there are a lots of VR issues, bugs and problems that we aren't seeing any resolution to, they aren't being addressed or even discussed

5. according the last scrap of info no VR development is planned, nothing at all nvm on foot in Odyssey its fixes only (which seems to have problems too see point 4)

If you are a VR user all five of those are a problem, now do you understand?
1. Considering that FD were not going to support it at all originally, this is very much more than I expected for VR. Works fine for me.
2. Agreed. But these aren't VR specific issues and FD are fully aware of them.
3. This is just putting point 2 a different way.
4. Apart from performance, all my major VR gripes (i.e. those issues that appear only in VR) were fixed in update 5.
5. Which is as FD have stated all along. That's fine with me - if they resolve the performance issues, I'd be perfectly happy with the game as is in VR. That's not to say I wouldn't want FD to revisit it again in the future, but there really are far more things to sort out first.

In summary, the only VR issue I now have is performance. And this is not in fact a VR issue. VR players (or any other) aren't doing us (us meaning VR players) any favours by banging on about things that are already crystal clear.

I have 3 accounts. But my XB account does not see much playing lately (think i clocked less than 10 hours since EDO launched)
My Steam account was heavily played (3x G5 suits fully modded, 2x g4 suits, 6x G5 weapons, 4 fully modded, 1 G4 weapon and all engineers unlock)
My Epic account which also did not see much play time, why? Well, simply because 7+ weeks after launch i still cannot dual-log my Steam and My Epic accounts (both EDO preordered) due to abysmal performance,12-15 fps, while in Horizons i get 45-60 fps on each account while dual-logged.

Even when running a single account (my specs are well over the recommended specs), Patch 5 introduced some really unbearable stuttering in or around settlements
And it's not only about performance. Patch 5 broke missions (restore and grab from wreckeage, this week's fix didnt fix the later yet)
So yes, there is a reason why EDO lurks in Steam ratings at 31% overall and 23% for the last 30 days.

I can only hope things will get better, but there is a strong chance EDO will be in a crap state until the fabled Autumn Launch

What do you need it all for. How about sharing?

Stuphs is needed for hazzing.
Hazzing makes it hazzed.
Once it is hazzed, it becomes minez.
And what is minez must be stuphs.

It is the circle of life, or Hazzinga Mastuphsa, if you will. Elton John wrote a song about it, so it must be real and true.

And on that incredibly tenuous point, I will also tenuously declare that this is what I needz all the stuphs forz.

Sadly I cannot share. My ego is too powerful for sharing, much like the emperor in star wars. Another tenuous excuse, but he wanted all the stuphs too, so it is allowed ;)
 
Powerplay (whole or as I'd like it, part): group PvP plus solo support

Powerplay - CQC many vs many, outside of the game.
Or it needs to find a way to play nice with all the modes without some modes being punished and without restricting content from solo players.

And my idea of splitting jobs for modes does that- focussed PvE for solo (generates cargo) and Open PvP to move it, both are needed to work.

One does believe that the above is simply a long form version of......

'I haz, therefore I amz'

What what

Toodly pipsky old bean

That sounds pretty hazzedous.
