And they are developing the live version. That’s kind of the entire point of it.
Time frames on pulling the plug?
- Thread starter jojje
- Start date
The doom always comes when they release stuff, same ppl throwing muck as well.
It's all a bit "meh"...
The scale of which they are " Developing " the game is very questionable atm.
Did you knew that in 2 weeks it will be 4 years since they added a last ship to the game? Pretty long huh? It's not like they announced they are done with adding ships to the game but certainly stopped developing them for half of game existance.
Ergo the game is DEDD
If adding ships is the metric for development, SC must be the most developed game in the universe. It surely isn't the most released, that's for sure.
No. FD have given no indication they are turning the servers off any time soon.
Little odd for a live service space ship game not to add space ships. Love or hate SC's funding model, space ships keep that frankenstien alive.
I’m thinking that splitting the game into Live and Legacy might be the fundamental and exciting changes to the galaxy referred to in the quote."Update 14 will bring fundamental and exciting changes to the galaxy". That doesn't sound like anything the players are expected to fix anytime soon.
But I've been wrong before; at any rate the distant future is now only three days away, and we'll find out just how wrong then!
Other than splitting Legacy off from the Live game and downgrading it.
If you see that as a sign then that's your call.
I see it as a way for FD to unload some baggage so they can move forward.... just like they did with Mac users (Sorry, couldn't resist
).
Could people try and be a little less doom laden for a change in these forums?
The fact we're getting Updates 15 and 16, a new Thargoid Interceptor with Update 14 and a major feature overhaul in early 2023 means Elite Dangerous isn't going anywhere for a while. They won't pull the plug this soon after Odyssey's release.

Oh no. If only there were other things in this game than the ships. But that's all there is. Just ships; no other content. Not even anywhere to take or land them.
It was never just a spaceship game. Legs have been there since the KS.

Hello Games have moved forward and included more 'baggage' in NMS. Even apparently macOS users (sorry couldn't resist)If you see that as a sign then that's your call.

If you don't see 3.8 being entirely seperated and downgraded as a sign that it's on the way out then that's your call.

But they didn't, and they never intended to - indeed, we've had vessels other than space ships before Odyssey released.
Except the very real plan of working on narrative content - which has always been important in the game's past and given us Galnet, community goals, Powerplay, Guardians, Thargoids...
Just because you don't like the plans doesn't mean that there are none or that the game is dead. This is Frontier's game, not yours - so maybe move on if you don't like the way things are going, or get a job at Frontier...

U13 seems to largely be leadup for U14, but it had the HIP 22604 mess, the Tharguardian relics, and those big swirly things heading toward the bubble...
Not much different to the past ten years of forum complaining then.
If the fundamental and exciting changes aren't in some way related to the Stargoids Frontier have been trailing since the launch of Aftermath, I'll eat my hat.
But just to be on the safe side, would someone like to bake me a hat?
