  Trying to play the most recent nightly. Going through a town and the world gen just seems to... stop. That huge canyon in the first image, I couldn't move past it at all and doing so seemed to "freeze" the game, it didn't actually lock up but the menus didn't work, I couldn't open doors, eventually I seemed to rubberband back to the left of the screen and somehow picked up random items from the buildings (for example the cash register) and put it in my inventory. I restarted the game and on the second try it would eventually start to load in the rest of the town on the screen but still caused the game to become unstable and start crashing.

No, you have to make a steel stirring spoon after that before the quest is complete.

Now it's just nothing but terrible, linear fetch quests before you see any of the real "meat" of the game.

Now it's just nothing but terrible, linear fetch quests before you see any of the real "meat" of the game. What that seems to mean now is that as you make your way through the content, there are multiple "styles" you can can use to get by. For instance, you could focus on combat, or you could focus on farming. That's part of the reason why they added all those recipes recently, it's a step towards making farming a valid path of its own, buff yourself out all crazy with high-end foods, make a lot of money by selling crops, etc. I think they're also planning on adding some kind of building/NPC-oriented branch.

You need to focus on combat, though. There is no food that stops enemies from killing you in just a few hits, it's all varying amounts of slow HP regen over time, jump height, move speed etc. poo poo like that.

Not defending the spoon quest, but just pointing out that you can entirely ignore it and it doesn't make a difference. It's an early tech card if you just get boned for rng worlds. I found an apex facility with jumping puzzles over poison water and tesla spikes and it had 2 tech cards in it. You can only equip 3 of them. You basically program techs into the blank cards also, so you don't have to find specific techs anymore, you just find cards and pick the tech you want. You unlock others through quests, like bringing 300 kelp to some lady for a nanosuit thing that lets you survive on highly radiated planets. Coffee quest is completely a sidequest, after you talk to her another dude asks for 20 iron bars to make an iron crafting bench, and other npcs do the rest of the stuff. My favorite part is that the NPCs will wander around and use the bathroom, and every time I've gone for the "make a full set of iron armor quest" the guy has been in the bathroom stall. I just wish they could make the quest dialogue have a lot of pooping noises put into it if he's in the stall. LITERALLY MY FETISH fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Dec 18, 2014 |

Not true, there are combat foods that give you thorny armor or bonus damage or more exotic buffs like that. They're uncommon, but if you specialize in cooking & farming, you'll find them. Also, you really can't say much yet when the highest tiers of food don't even have their effects filled in yet and are just placeholder items.

All these quests sound pretty tedious considering you could be making multiple characters. Gating and Missions that are neccesary to get your ship online is MMO-fying a game that does not need to be MMOed.

They give you combat buffs, which means you're still being forced into fighting which is the point people are bringing up. Chucklefish really kind of pushed that you could get through most of the progression through mostly farming, building, etc. and that doesn't appear to be true with so much gated behind linear quests now. And the mining really needs to be sped up (doubled at least) if the cores are going to be the first big hurdle. It takes forever to collect those first materials. Right now it's tedium for the sake of tedium and sucks fun from the game.

I figure while it's fun to poo poo on the game, it should at least be done honestly by playing it for real and making GBS threads on it with genuine criticisms. Monsters and humanoid enemies are now much different. Monsters are much easier to kill than they were in Koala, but NPCs are harder. I found a Floran temple type thing for the first time and the first one that came into view whittled me down quickly with an assault rifle, and then closed in and killed me in melee quite quickly. I was wearing a steel torso armor and iron feet and helmet. When you use the search box in the crafting menu, it doesn't disable the E key. So for example if you want to craft a hoe, you type in H-O and then if you accidentally hit E it closes the menu.

it took me like 6 hours to get off the starting planet and I put all the ores I picked up while looking for core fragments in the ship vault then when I upgraded my ship the vault's inventory was reset to the starting contents of torches/some rocks so it basically wiped all that progress since in starbound mining ore = progress!

Mokinokaro posted:They give you combat buffs, which means you're still being forced into fighting which is the point people are bringing up. Yeah, I get it. You asked "what ever happened to the multiple paths system" and I answered, the answer is that it's basically gone, there's now just the one main path. If you thought you were gonna be able to go through the game without fighting at all, well it ain't gonna happen, there's no "pacifist" route. But the point I was bringing up is that there is some small remnants of that system in that you have a few different styles of play you can use while going down that one path. To be very specific, you have a few choices of what you want to do to earn pixels, for instance kill monsters or sell crops. I'm not telling you this is good or bad, but you asked so I'm telling you what the current state/plan of the game is. XboxPants fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Dec 18, 2014 |
