I'm quite sure that every DLC has had "hyped up" praise before release and very little "critique". Even the Timelines. Before it was known what really is in the box -- the trailers do not show the whole picture.Starmeadow wrote: ↑Mon, 1.

We already knew upfront what Timelines was about, I noticed there were already some critiques and heated debates as it took another way design-wise.jlehtone wrote: ↑Mon, 1.

Base game vs (Base game + DLC) is like XL Thrusters Mk2 vs Mk3.
While devs work on X5?

So does how you interpret it however.
Well thank you for proving my earlier point.
Yesnt. I'm not saying it is no effort. But bottom line is it is still less than other dlcs considering sectors, systems, soundtracks, races, story, station modules, ship designs, etc (again: Astrid).
In fact I have. It is certainly a pain, but this is still overselling. Just a few things you just take into this for no reason for example are: faction ai, activation behaviours, sector to sector travel, task behaviour, building systems. It certainly was a big thing, but they absolutely did not have to rewrite the entirety of x4 for this.
That is what the public beta is for. Sure they need to run some tests, but I would wager the majority of it is done by the public beta.
I participated in that beta, and public beta feedback did not cover every ship. UNpaid volunteers are nice to have, but you absolutely can't expect them to do all the work. Internal testing would need to be done for every ship. Lastly if you had experience with legacy codebases, what about legacy game engine codebases? Game engines aren't small.Starmeadow wrote: ↑Tue, 2. Sep 25, 20:37 That is what the public beta is for.

This statement of yours accuses everybody who disagrees with your stance of being blind, not thinking critically and harming your game.Starmeadow wrote: ↑Tue, 2.

Sorry about the confusion! Since X4 isn’t available on its own on GOG anymore (since June 2024), the DLC pages currently show the “Discovery Pack” (X4: Foundations + X4: Timelines) as a requirement. This is misleading - you absolutely do not need Timelines to play the Envoy Pack. The only requirement is owning X4: Foundations.

Because X4: Foundations isn’t listed individually on GOG, their system automatically pulls in the Discovery Pack as the base product. I’ve already contacted GOG to see if they can adjust the way this is displayed.
