Odessy Upgrade and Lifetime Upgrade

[NeonKnight]

Way back in the day, I backed/purchase the Lifetime Upgrade feature for Elite Dangerous (oddly can't seem to find any of my past pruchases on Frontier's ELITE DANGEROUS website/account).

Do we know if this is included in that lifetime upgrade?

If you have the lifetime expansion pass, you should have access to the Odyssey Alpha preorder.

On the PC I have two accounts one with the LEP both direct from the Frontier store.
I don't know if my LEP account will get the standard or Deluxe Alpha version.
Maybe I'll get something unique like an LEP decal / Holo arm patch.

I purchased the Deluxe Alpha pre-order for the second account which is in Colonia.
I'm not sure what "access to Alpha" is but if in the bubble I won't see it.

Odyssey won't come to my third Playstation account until autumn so it is my backup.
If the download breaks my first two accounts maybe the PS4 will still work.

What does lifetime mean?

What does lifetime mean?

Until the thread goes off of the front page but is then necro'd 3 years later.

It does seem a lot of people think lifetime might mean 'just one release'. Fdev should sieze the opportunity.

I think I saw somewhere recently where Frontier verified that LEP does include the full Odyssey with access to the alpha.

This is correct.

If someone dies and is then resurrected do they still hold rights to a lifetime pass?

May I leave my lifetime pass to my children as part of my estate?

Include your account details in your will and they'll get it, just don't tell FDEV.

But did Frontier officially say that or another player expecting that? We'll see in 17 days...

I suppose the full legs, but without boots..

I think owing a LEP it works for the account as long as it is active. Being killed many times and having the rebuy yes. Not having the rebuy I don't know but suspect yes. Purposely going to a 'clear save" I don't know. But I haven"t seen any posts on the Forum after a player resets the game complaining about losing the LEP..

Still Odyssey is the first MAJOR DLC costing players real money where the LEP seriously comes into play. We'll know in 17 days...

Depends... It's valid for the lifetime of the game, not your lifetime.

CM's posted clarification that LEP holders would get the Alpha package, including the Suit skin and OST.

Although not a LEP holder, I certainly hope to bump into a few during the alpha, in the nicest possible way, naturally! (although with my amazing flight skills, bump is likely accurate...)

 

[wenkman]

i also have the LEP.

and i think it's clearly "lifetime of the game Elite Dangerous", not lifetime of your ingame commander or lifetime of me as a real life person.

i'm happy, that alpha and beta access is included, and the MK4.... but from the name alone access to productive releases would have been enough

 

[NeonKnight]

HAHAHA to the fun messages...Thanx for the info. Been away from the Galaxy a few years (changes in work schedule etc does that sadly )

Of course I found I do not have the LIFETIME access, but the BETA PREMIUM which includes the lifetime.

Thanx again all, and thanx for the Lolz!
