Such is the duality of a community built around a video game.

Aleksander MajjamThe Frontier forums are so odd. There are people there openly telling others they need to calm down it's not that bad, its their fault that their performance is bad, and that they are whiners for posting negative about the game.

If you were to try that in Cyberpunk's and No Mans Sky forums during release, you'd get absolutely eviscerated.


I mean sth is broken... my game looks the same on low as it does on high... and framerate is just as bad...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If this was truly the case, you'd see the same behavior in other gaming communities with similar questionable releases. And in those cases, what keeps the community from in-fighting among themselves is realizing that they are dealing with a multi-million dollar company that's asking money for a relatively unfinished product. In any case, my only stake in this fight is that I'm having issues on Horizon as well.

Everyone is disappointed in the launch, myself included.

But there’s a difference between giving criticism and just being a little s***. There’s a lot of little s***s right now.

I think I need to avoid the forums for a while.

Odyssey is going through the same growing pains as Horizons did. I remember the amount of complaining that went on then and it's no different now.

It will get better. Just give it time. And before someone says "well they shouldn't have released it," that's probably true - but considering how starved the community has been for content over the past three, almost four years, there's no telling how the community would be now. If Odyssey had been postponed, the community would've lost its collective shit. So it comes down to which flavor of shit sandwich you'd prefer. Either way, the bitching is inevitable.

Odd... I can't seem to make screenshots via F10 (or Alt-F10) anymore... the game says it's creating them, but they don't show up in the respective folder
21 May 2021, 11:47pm
I had the same problem as well, which disappoints me greatly.
21 May 2021, 11:48pm
Well, since F10 doesn't work right now: Screenshot via Steam:



I still think she looks like Sakashiro...

So I have a question, I’m not sure what happened but my game tells me in a king in the empire rank but when I try to buy the imperial cutter it says I’m not, is there anyway to fix this?

i don't see fed. or imperial rank at all

There is currently a bug where both your Imperial and Federal rank are doubled when sent to the client. This can be seen if you inspect your journal files. Therefore, if you were previously Warrant Officer/Baron or below, you'd see a higher rank on your display. And if you were a higher rank, you'll see nothing because there are no rank descriptions above King/Admiral. Unfortunately, on the server they still have the correct information and that prevents you from buying the corvettes/cutters if you weren't previously qualified.

Kenji_088Anyone planning on pitching in on the CGs this week?


I am at this very moment helping out Mahon. I want that tritium initiative as I'm thinking about getting a FC.
22 May 2021, 12:25pm
Oh, I must have misunderstood what was involved with "tritium initiative". Thought there might be chance of improving availability of tritium either by mining, purchasing or both. Looks like it was wishful thinking. Thanks for the kind offer, but I'm good.
