Why nobody thanks Frontier for the recent patch? For the 1st time they LISTENED TO US and made changes that we actually asked! So: THANK YOU FRONTIER
- Thread starter CMDR DUANES
- Start date
It's not in my view. It's much better in my view. And we actually get more information, just in more logical places.
What depth do you want. Are you confusing complexity and depth?
The only issue I have is frame rates, but even then it plays at an acceptable frame rate (yes, it should be much better). As to missions, are these not dependent on the status of the BGS?
Planets look great to me.
Frontier has a much longer and consistent pattern of breaking things than doing things right. So they fixed a UI they broke. That's the bare minimum. After much investigations into the pathways of their improvements and fixes over the years, I've concluded praise isn't something they deserve. Give me a record of delivering quality and then we can talk about giving them positive reinforcement.
Perhaps now that it is “fixed”. We definitely didn’t get more information when Odyssey rolled out.
And the whole idea of the OP was to praise FDev for fixing something they broke in the first place.
SOME planets look good, some do not, I would like missions to actually be playable at least, rather than not spawning, depth and complexity are not the same thing, both would be nice, but stringing missions in a narrative way would be nice, making them about something other than grinding for stuff
So tell us: what information did disapear?
How can you
Thousands of players have bought a full-priced DLC that is broken not just with its new content but with numerous elements that were perfectly working with Horizons!
All they have managed to fix is the shield percentage and the UI for a month a half following the game's official release!!!
There are numerous other bugs that weren't present in Horizons and numerous others in the present Odyssey gameplay still not fixed.
Major points of their supposed update are still failing: NPC movement, lighting, etc.
Brand new bugs like the messed-up character icons are appearing.
At this rate of "success" Star Citizen will be finished sooner than Odyssey.
And you want to encourage that level of progress? Have some self-respect as a customer.
Players like you that encourage such a ridiculous level of service are why this game is here.
How can you praise such a minuscule level of progress?

I will have to consult with my legal team, and get back to you on this. They need to decide if my curiosity is fully satiated, but the signs are good. Thank you for your update to the pathways of the Holy Roadmap.
Just a quick couple of examples:
Can you tell me what engineering is applied to your modules in the Outfitting menu?
Can you tell me what modules your ships have from the Ship management screen?
Maybe it‘s fixed now but this kind of information wasn’t available prior to update 5.
no one has thanked them because
A: they are fixing something they released which they were well aware of was broken; the release was just before their fiscal sales of the year.
B: they broke as many things as they fixed.
C: performance is now borked even more so.

Oh, and don’t forget the “hold to target” while your whole galaxy map moves around.
Or scrolling with a mouse wheel through a list of settlements also zooms in/out the whole system map.
Those are all things that should not be there in the first place.

[Summary Thread] Removed and Missing Information in Elite: Odyssey
Last Author Review 22/07/2022 (Update 12) Removed and Missing Information / UI Functionality in Elite: Odyssey Preamble Greetings Commanders o7 In light of the upcoming narrative and recent announcements about the future development plan for Odyssey and Elite: Dangerous in general, I have...
Oh my god! That call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!
Yes, the lighting is definitely better. But it was one of the things that was broken by FDEV in the first place so we shouldn’t be obliged to thank them for this fix.
Which was the whole point of this thread.

So not different to horizons then.
That's unfortunate for you. They seem to work okay for me.
Your missions can be about something, that's were the BGS comes into it. The difference with this game and others is that this game doesn't spoon feed it to you. You need to choose yourself.
I have never in all the years I have been playing, played just to engineer my modules, suits or weapons.
I have long term goals, and some of this will include engineering, but what I don't do is grind away, hating every moment of it to get it. Just so I can do the same stuff that I could do without the engineered stuff.
Yes, there is depth, it's just not shoved in your face.
Saying that, I would like to see some better missions structure, that involves your ships as well as on foot sections. Hopefully they will look at that in the future (it was intimated that they were in a live stream).
Yes it is annoying things didn't go to plan on launch, but I've still had a great time playing the game, even with its issues.
Personally I really don't want overly complex mechanics, they just get frustrating and annoying after a while. Challenging yes, complex no thanks.
