This is loving swell.

Is it a true sandbox we can goonrush and be goonunists in, or is it another dumb bitchfist assgame like archeage? Much will depend on that.

In any case, this topic gave me purpose. No more thinking about resubbing to wow after 8 inactive years because Eve is too boring. LETS ROLL

This isn't like archeage in the slightest. Well i guess you play on a computer and push buttons to do stuff it is but you can kite and move in combat and LOOK AT THAT switch to a first person style which you can deal more damage by scoring headshots.

Which is kind of funny when you think about it, AA being a lovely tab target game built on a fps engine and this game being a fps built on a mmo engine.

Is combat in this game fun?

The important question is whether or not it's possible to dick over everyone else on a whim and be blatant militant communists. I hear talk of player owned towns and stuff, but can we burn them down or pillage them?

From what I've played so far yes but I can't really say anything about the PVP and larger boss like things or whatever since I screwed around in the town for too long.

It's more dynamic then I initially though. If like a creature charges at you and hits you, you're knocked down. Melee is janky and should be avoided until it's worked on. You build up "charges" when fighting so basically you shoot a few times and your able to burst fire better or something like that. All the weapons have fall offs which means you can't shoot half across the map. Enemies will hunt you down if you don't kill them.

it switches you mouse 1 to primary fire of your weapon and actually varies the damage. You probably won't insta kill some bandit you found out in the woods who is geared but a couple of people who focus fire can take on larger stuff. Also they drop useable loot so like need a better gun kill someone.

There is a fishing skill. You can use a traditional pole method which plays as a minigame. Then there is a spear fishing method where you jump into the water and click on nodes.

For anyone wondering also this is a full blown sandbox. Right after you get out of the quick tutorial area your rear end is just dropped and told to do fuckallwhatever. There is no "Follow the Quest Chain". No Kill x dogs to get to the next area to kill x green dogs. You can trigger a "Looking for Work" flag and NPCs will just email you a fuckton of repeatable quests that you can turn off.

The Levels are run the same way as Skyrim. Shoot poo poo with rifles to rank up rifles. Let dogs bite you to level up armor and evasion. The current state of the Alpha is 100% Janky jank. Don't buy in unless you like this kind of poo poo. By this poo poo I mean Indie as gently caress, complicated as hell and oldschool to the max.

I haven't stuck with a character fully in the alpha because everything really requires some friends to get anything done. So in regards of PvP and player loving opportunities I have no idea as of right now.

So we get to aggro a fuckton of mobs and kite them on pubbies while screaming obscenities.

This looks much more promising than Albion online, which seems to be just a fool-loot UO clone where your items dictate which spells you can cast (much like PoE). Yikes.

Well you can game it so that the enemies leash become invulnerable and chase you down then attack the next person. Cool thing to try, attack an npc in the tutorial area.

So what makes this game any different from Xsyon, Wurm, Haven and Hearth, and Salem or any of the other trashy sandbox MMOs we've had thrown at us for the past decade in the way that they become primarily gigantic RNG contests in the form of trying to find the pixel things that one needs to craft the other pixel things and those who are best at spending the most time at finding pixel things (read: botting) will beat up everyone else?

Will MMO devs one day maybe go "Hey you know maybe we shouldn't base this game's economy and power structure entirely based on easily automated tasks and/or timesinks"? Based on the past two decades I'll go with probably not.

You can upgrade the quality of the resources you're picking up and if you're good enough you can upgrade an entire area. Theoretically you could take advantage of someone trying to bot by using them to upgrade stuff then killing them and stealing the upgraded materials.

I threw :10bux::20bux::20bux: at this to check it out when the last alpha hit and archeage started being a pile of poo poo. Honestly from the maybe 8 hours i've gotten to play it seems neat and to have a horribly complicated crafting system that I love. Alphas wonky as hell and such. They solved the botting resource nodes problem by making it so that nodes degrade over time. Have fun botting your poo poo tier crafting mats.

Current problem consists of Dear god is this game crashy. The alpha build goes down on me like once an hour and I can't even log in atm.

Edit: Newt, neat. same thing

Yeah the poo poo crashes all over the place because they are loving dropping the Heroengine dev build on everyone's poo poo. When they add a hotfix they use the heroengine stream in causing you to get random rear end spikes in framerate when not crossing a zone and you don't have any idea who is loving with what. When they actually compile a loving stable install as well as update their patching systems.

Right now it is just downright glorious chaos. I have hoverbiked my rear end off the world and got teleported back to Plymouth which is really hosed up because of how loving ungodly huge this godforsaken planet is. I am playing the alpha like I did with the WoW alpha where nothing but mounts were in and there was nothing to do but explore. I love how the devs dropped a map a long while back but they reshuffled how they wanted to zone connects so the map is useless and the in game one is madness so finding your way around is a hoot. I am still trying to track down an entrance to the ocean area so I can go check out the underwater city area.
