I'm still holding out for "Most of this mythical stable will be enjoyable, but the combat/survival mechanics will make me want to slam my face into my desk"  If they DO lock progress or ore smelting to specific locations, that's one less cool thing. And I'm a guy who LIKED making a (terrible) home base. But I liked it because it was an option, not because it was required in any way outside of "My ship is too tiny to fit all these crafting tables", and that would have been sorted by the ship expansions. EDIT: vvv Well, pants is right there about me. Because I just can't stop hoping something entirely enjoyable will come out of this game, instead of merely "This has a lot of cool things and shown clear signs of improvement, but it also has a lot of things that make me find punching my self in the testicles an attractive alternative."

"A heap of new posts, maybe they updated!" I think. Nope, just a pile of cunts arguing about nothing. I'm so disappointed in all of you.

When in the past have there been a heap of new posts and an update? its your own drat fault for assuming they'd have updated the game. Thats a fool's mindset!

Section Z posted:I'm still holding out for "Most of this mythical stable will be enjoyable, but the combat/survival mechanics will make me want to slam my face into my desk" Terraria literally does everything Starbound does at the moment, except not poo poo. The combat isn't horrible, the digging around is actually kind of fun as those goes, the enemy balance is relatively fair, there's a lot more fun and easier to use movement options and accessories, and even the gunplay is leagues better and more useful. Starbound has planet hopping, except all the planets are boring and horrible and you're better off with Terraria's big maps with varied biomes anyway. I guess you can't play a birdman or something but it's not like that's a meaningful choice considering there's no story, the NPCs that do exist don't do anything that matters, and hell at least one race doesn't even have NPCs. If there were updates and improvements at a frequent and regular schedule that would be one thing, there would at least be signs that the game is improving, but it's going on a year now without a stable update. For a 2D procedurally-generated pixel platformer. It's been over a year since it's been sold as a game, and months before that where they were taking cash money for it in donates. There's been some unstable test updates sure, but has anything been added actually been fun? Anything? Or is it just random incoherent balance changes thrown at a wall in hopes something sticks with some added "content" that's indistinguishable from the existing content except where it actually makes the game more restrictive and less entertaining. Starbound is a bad game.

I wonder if they still 'plan' to have racial abilities tied to racial armor or not. I hope they abandon that for just set racials. Something fairly minor but flavorful, like increase jump height for Apex or underwater breathing for Hylotyl. Things like that may act as an extra tech slot, which may or may not be balanced, I just hope for some at least minorly impactful effects to help the races feel a little unique. Then again I am a spazz and like to do goofy RP things to spice up multiple characters and add some additional gameplay.

They could do both. The race gets their special bonus by default, and if another race equips their armor, it replaces their bonus in favor of the new one while that armor is worn.

And I don't mean it's "promise" or "potential" or whatever the hell, I mean it and any foreseeable updates as an actual playable game. Placeholder bosses I can beat without learning how to bullethell in an exploration block building game? As much as people complain about digging speeds for Starbound, it blows away the dig speed of Terraria (Well, so long as you got something that can dig out at least a 3x3 area that lasts). But yes, seriously, I need to pay attention to Terraria sometime long enough to progress past Gold one of these days. Or not getting medium worlds spawning with Corruption or Crimson literally one minute away from my spawn in both directions over and over for my bad self to deal with  Mostly I just think about Hard mode in the near future just spewing corruption and hallow loving everywhere in my nice little world and trail off. Suggestions on preventing such are either spending  amounts of time sectioning off an entire planet, or moving on to another planet (hmm, what was it starbound was supposed to be about again?)But if Terraria and Starbound share anything in common beyond blocks of dirt, it's the "Just get Good, I can do it easy  " or "Just get somebody to help you, don't you have friends? (who own the exact same game and can play at the exact same time)?  " mentality regarding combat at times in a chunk of the fanbase.Even if I do admit I should probably give it a longer shot one of these days, despite that looming horizon of bullethell and HP sponge stuff to deal with. I certaintly feel like an invincible olympic god compared to Starbound at any point in the game though. Infinite horde of zombies and all I have is a wooden sword? No problem, I can survive more than 3 hits

The more changes redigit makes, the closer Terraria combat seems to get to Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

When they said they would make changes to make planet-based building more useful, I assumed they would do it by making building on the ship less useful - like no crops or only some crops, or some tools don't work on the ship. That would be more inline with how they've done things so far than actually adding new stuff that makes you want to build on a planet. Maybe once NPCs are in they will live in your colony but never on your ship, so your massive ship has nobody on board except you, a lonesome space king. The constant "balancing" of mining etc is frustrating because they've said there will be alternate paths, and you can buy ores instead of mining (might be remembering wrong) but those don't exist yet. Maybe if they did the current progression in Nomad-mode or whatever it is would be more tolerable but it looks like when/if those features finally get in, everything will have to be rebalanced again anyway. Which seems par for the course - no real long-term plan and constantly reworking poo poo and applying bandaids. I tried to build an ocean base lately and even the way they did that is kind of janky. The ocean water tiles just spawn water out of nowhere so you first have to put down dirt to get rid of the ocean, then mine it out. Even one tile of ocean hanging in the air will spew out loads of water until everything is flooded. Why, starbound. Why won't you let me love you?

Blackheart posted:The more changes redigit makes, the closer Terraria combat seems to get to Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Also as a reminder, Terraria was made in four months and has had multiple large content releases, even after ReLogic formally stopped development. Starbound took two years to get a retail release, got well over a million dollars in preorders, and had now almost a year out since the last stable patch. Koobze posted:Why, starbound.

And I don't mean it's "promise" or "potential" or whatever the hell, I mean it and any foreseeable updates as an actual playable game. Starbound has really good art/music/theming. At least compared to the competitors, like Final Fantasy sprites and whatever art style Minecraft has going on. "Pretty" doesn't make for a good game, of course - but it is often cool looking. It's also extremely moddable. This might sound like a "potential" thing, but it's not. Yeah, I do hope that it'll get even more opened up to modding, but even if it never changes from how it is today, it's already about a million times easier to mod than any of its competitors. And even if no one else ever creates a mod, it's still a draw for some people, including me. It's fun for me to mess around and make some custom assets or whatever in the game, like guns that shoot lava, or candy biomes. So basically, it's pretty and easy to mod. But, yes, neither of those things make the base gameplay fun. Hey, you asked. I also like that I'm not using a drat 1x1 pickaxe, but that's more of a personal preference.

I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. It sounds like you're gonna reject anything that's either (1) a balance change or (2) a content addition. So what kind of update are expecting, exactly, that's neither balance nor content? Or, if it was a good balance change or good content addition, would that be an acceptable answer?
