Lets summarise the forum atm, from both sides :
Fair?
Here's where I am - Horizons had an unreal alienness to the landscapes, which was quite appealing but perhaps not realistic (and suited those looking for 'hooning' or other weirdness
)
What Odyssey has that Horizons didn't is the wow factor on (some) planets, the atmospheres landscapes textures and details. It's those amazing moments that have revitalised exploration and planets for me, and presumably others.
What is the solution?
That's up to fdev, presumably a regeneration of the galaxy in the months ahead to sort the problems and obvious bugs (I'd wager repeating textures is a bug) and satisfy everyone. The reality is there is no satisfying everyone. In fact when they regenerate the galaxy to fix the problems, the amazing planets we HAVE found will also disappear.
Again, there is no satisfying everyone.
- horizons planets were both great at times, and a bit crap at times TRUE
- they looked good from space, but a bit rubbish from srv or more importantly human height at times TRUE
- odyssey planets are currently both great and a bit crap at times TRUE
- they look amazing from human height, but there are issues with repeating feature patterns visible from height and space TRUE
- odyssey live is seemingly not producing some of the features we saw in earlier pre-release version, and atmospheres have been changed TRUE
- odyssey also has other planet bugs (eg textures not loading) TRUE
