Straight into the bin, where it belongs?
So what are you hoping for on Wednesday's Stream?
- Thread starter Phoenix_Dfire
- Start date
ED will go in the digital bin eventually, its FD saying "we are planning features but the plan will not include VR, or interiors" sort of thing and setting expectations.
Without some firm direction people will assume Doom because its all nebulous.
Anything will do for me.
Anything except the shutdown announcement, of course
and yea
Agreed, comms for the sake of it because some get frustrated with the lack of it (although evidently the weekly stream doesn't count towards being regular comms) ends up with equal or more frustration of the 'nothing to announce' of no news, bonus being that it's also taken to mean doom.
"We want you to stream to us twice a week but we want every stream to be update-dense, and we want the updates to be what we say we want. Anything else is insufficient and heralds the death of the game." - The Community, probably.
It didn't quite work like that.
If you look at a landable planet with the base game versus Horizons (at least pre-base game and Horizons merge) you would notice they looked significantly different, it was entirely different rendering code.
This was partially done for technical reasons, because there were some machines (most notably, the Mac platform) that didn't have compute shaders, so the base game and Horizons had to necessarily have different render code bases.
This is no longer true once they merge Odyssey and Horizons so EDH players are using the same render code base as EDO players (with the exception they can't walk around).
I'm hoping that some sense is spoken, without the "Something exciting which we won't talk about" being uttered.
At this point I'm just hoping that they won't kill/abandon any more features because they require work and that's hard.
Also hoping they don't pull something like what Overkill did with the Walking Dead game and just announce a new licensed game/tie in instead (but this is Elite news because you get a cosmetic item!)

I know what they won't talk about. Bruno.
I would really like to see a Trello board of features planned, in-progress and released. No time frames required, just an indication that they have an idea where they want the game to go. Absolutely no chance we will get it of course, and I fully expect there to be lots of "we're really excited about what is coming but can't talk about it yet" because senior management have a change of heart 10 minutes before the stream starts.
I assume you know all of the words?
you forgot to include the mandatory link:
Do they still use the word Exciting?
Enough info regarding console-pc transfer to decide whether to do it or carry on with my new Cmdr
An announcement of a full revamp of all the undercooked ideas we've had over the years (MCrew CQC Fighters Powerplay Eng C&P etc) and a real fix of the oddity engine...
Oh and some actual stuff to find out in the black...
Also also VR support on foot ofc but the fps need to come first

I'm expecting some news regarding account transfers, hopefully that'll be put to rest tomorrow with a clear path forwards for those that want to migrate. Apart from that not all that much, hopefully some news about update 12 and that they've used the last few months to fix performance and squash bugs.
I suspect there will be some great stuff coming up that we can't talk about.
But a biggie would be if they would manage to put the "ed is dead" talk to an end (at least for a while).

In the interest of encouraging new players they need to give substantive evidence that the game will exist for 2+ years.
The player investment required in this game is so large its not worth it unless there is a strong indication the game is moving forward, or at the minimum will exist.
Edit:
A simple vague statement of "We aren't going anywhere, ED is secure... " would be awful. Because words mean nothing and that is an indication they have nothing but words. Substantial evidence would be "We have a dedicated team of 20 developers working on <specific new item>, scheduled to be released <timeframe>". Regardless of the item it would give me a feeling the game is moving fwd and no unspoken plan to drop it.

No no, all wrong. What we really need is for them to announce Twitch drops coming to in-game gameplay,
and advertisements that can be skipped after 5 seconds.
OR you can watch the ad in order to instantly speed up time to transfer modules to the station.
Oh and we need ads to randomly pop up on our HUD while flying and interrupt whatever you're doing.
And some idle-game style wait timers, like (wait 4 hours before being able to switch a module out again.)
