Some clarity: You're speaking on the topic still as though years of feedback were provided while we ignored it, so let's be very clear on this front: Early access was about 2 years total. We had multiple large updates that added or wildly changed core aspects of the game, because of further implementation of our core vision as well as the feedback to aid its development. We aimed to make a lot of handcrafted environments - landing at a little over 100 - and utilized a lot of healthy level design to help guide players from one point of interest to another. The expectation from the get-go isn't that players will do everything, but rather be pleasantly surprised when they stumble upon a secret that rewards them across an expansive game.

An observation: It sounds like you expect the game to be Diablo-only, but in space. This was never our aim, nor ever preached from us. Yes, there are aspects of Diablo, and Destiny - which we have stated - but there are also more aspects of F...

You're not wrong that the type of feedback isn't anything new, but the game has changed quite considerably over the years. Location secrets and challenges saw a world of adjustments across development because of this feedback. In fact, we doubled back on all secrets in our homestretch before launch, and made some tweaks and adjustments even then.

We received two types of feedback on this front, and we have had some rude, vocal users about this topic. We're not going to pretend that we can please everyone, nor that we can make every single secret super fun, engaging, and unique. But we're going to do our best, utilizing the feedback from our playerbase to get things to a better place.

Regarding the reward content: I can see your reasoning, and this was also something we adjusted over time because of feedback as well. We iterated on the attributes and how the Mainframe Expansions adjusted them accordingly. Our goal was to make little boosts to the player ...

To be fair, the drone salvage is almost completely hidden from view so long as all your drones are active and at full health. Regardless, your point is taken.

I know the wait is painful but I don't have more info to report yet, sorry! I do think we're close however, as the good news is no snags in certification have come up. I will make a new Reddit post when the update goes live.

The upcoming adjustments are almost entirely technical, with at least one placeholder (which is mostly complete even in the current version) that gets updated too. Nothing affects gameplay or save conditions.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. Your opinions are very much validated in here, and we're keeping an eye on how players are enjoying (or in this case, not enjoying) the varying aspects of EVERSPACE 2.

Some quick clarity: EVERSPACE 2 very much puts emphasis on space combat, but we also utilize open world exploration as well. It seems there's a disconnect here, like the game is supposed to be either one or the other, and can't be both...

Exploration in the game is definitely meant to have the player intentionally look around the handcrafted environments, instead of just a follow-the-dots mission design. Still, there are points of interests around varying environments to aid in this, some more obvious than others.

100% completing core areas should require the player to take time into this endeavor; it should not be a one-and-done routine that takes mere seconds. However, it also shouldn't slam a player's head against the wall for hours on end either. I ...

Dang, I'm sorry to hear this. This may be related to all the plugins breaking for the WinGDK. We've been trying to find some workarounds but to no avail at this time. Our friends at EngineSoft may need to rework them directly, and if/when they do, we will be pushing a hotfix asap.

The HDR experimental technology isn't something we can wholly develop further from our end; it is dependent on the user's system and settings. We have implemented it fully for UE4's capabilities, though we have seen it come up short for certain users.

Otherwise, all plugins are broken on WinGDK based on our development for XBox Seris S|X, which includes DLSS. Our friends from EngineSoft needed to rework them, but as soon as we are able to we will push a hotfix.

That said, we have no plans to include DLSS 3 at this time.

Hey there, I just received word that all plugins seem broken on WinGDK, which includes DLSS. This is likely due to our work regarding XBox Series X|S. We will figure out if a solution is something we can push through as a hotfix, but unfortunately it would get pushed through after the actual 1.0. I'll follow-up when I have more info, sorry!

Thank you for the support, glad you're having a good time with it!

Yes, this is correct. And just recently, we got confirmation that Microsoft can expedite the troubles so I can absolutely confirm tomorrow it'll get through.

There won't be any save wiping or nonsense like that so I can assure our playerbase starting tomorrow will have a sound continuation into the full 100% release when it passes, too.

Hey, it's no worries! Hiccups happen, like it or not. Frustrations surrounding this Game Pass hiccup is valid, because it absolutely sucks (even if it's only a day delay), and is also why we're addressing the issues as quickly as possible.

Your support is appreciated, but no worries. There are always hiccups, and there are valid reasons for individuals to be disgruntled or upset. We are working quickly to address issues that rear their ugly heads as quickly as we can.

The current version right now can carry over, though I would personally recommend a fresh start tomorrow. We are not wiping anything.

We're not trying to blame anyone here, let's all take a step back.

We know certification takes a while, so we started this process before 1.0 was complete, instead of starting certification at the time of 1.0's full completion and have Game Pass users wait that week or two. This is why the version that was meant to get through the process at this time was a slightly pre-1.0 build, and why the true 1.0 release is coming in a week or two.

The unfortunate setback was discovered quite literally moments after launch, and we can't do anything about it other than wait. So, yeah, sucks...but at least it's only a day and not a couple weeks!

These are separate storefronts so we cannot take from one to give to the other. Sorry!

Yes, you got this correct!

Great question! Our full undivided attention is currently on MacOC right now. We're hoping not too long, but it's hard to say given all possible outliers. It's hard to give a specific time, though I would be surprised if it took longer than a few months.

I'm certain we'll make announcements as we make progress and have a more definitive timeframe.

It appears the Game Pass build will be updated tomorrow, it's hard to say a specific time but we're hopeful it will be before it gets later in the day. Sorry about the delay, but thank you for your patience.

Truly, I am sorry you missed out on an opportunity here. Though please know, I sent that message regarding Game Pass within about 2 minutes of finding out about it.

Goodness gravy, not fixed...trying to figure out what's going on here. I don't see any deleted messages. Was it in another post?
