This game seems completely unappealing in every way.

Yea most of what Kimsemus wrote is out of date now. Not to say that the game doesn't have its flaws, but it's seen some decent improvements since he's played.

Kimsemus is a notable caller of harsh truths. I'm all for horde pvp though but not if it's balanced to be "fair" to numerically inferior groups. Is it true that pvp comes down to some elite pvp 5 man champion team while everyone else just farms materials?

I like the idea of gank squads. Sell me on this terrible game. Everything is going to be reset right and the full game won't be out for a year or so?

If it looks interesting to you, I think it's worth the $30 investment. I would buy in soon though as the most fun time to play is near the beginning of a beta. The game is due to reset for final release in supposedly 3-4 months, although nobody really knows.

Out of curiosity I looked up what kind of difference premium membership makes over a F2P account and holy lmao are you kidding me? They may as well just hang a sign on the door that says "gently caress off non-subscribers!!!"

Chomp8645 posted:I'm a little skeptical of this because what is their business model if it's not difficult for the whole playerbase to just silver buy their premium time? The silver cost appears to be 100% player market-based, though injecting new gold into the system is done at a fixed price. This is not unlike EVE's PLEX system. Edit: The game has a bunch of silver sinks which ramp up as you get into higher level gear. The act of creation costs silver. Repairing your stuff costs silver. Replacing your stuff costs a whole lot of silver, since there's transportation and player time to take into account in addition to the raw creation cost. Sandbox is likely counting on players needing an injection of silver right then and right now, plus the clear benefits of premium time. While it is possible that Sandbox may set an artificial price floor, I expect that the gold selling market will stabilize around a week into the launch. The real test will be if people keep buying gold to keep the market going after the low-tier founders packs run out of premium time.

I got to the t3 stuff, but i am having trouble motivating myself to slowly walk through 20 identical zones or whatever to get the to city.

starter zones (queen's highland or steppe muster and king's highland or steppe muster) let you travel between all four of them for free with all your materials. go to the dock icon in town and talk to the man. the other cities let you teleport completely naked between them in a similar fashion. you have to move stuff around on foot, horse or ox. to move stuff to icemelt its king's highland muster -> about 3 green zones -> honister pass -> about 4 green/yellow zones -> icemelt bridge. and yes, it sucks poo poo to do it on foot. i recommend talking with guildmates and going to dungeons for silver runs. use that silver to buy a horse in honister pass or kingsmarket. horses are fast and increase your carry weight by something like 5x

The ganking tonight, while fun, was a disaster as Blazing led us to a dead end and we got separated from Forge for a whole FIFTEEN SECONDS.

It was still good fun. The grinding to get T4 gear is pretty awful and if you're newly joining just find a buddy to help make it less poo poo because god drat. And some people think it should be more grindy

Unfunny Poster posted:It was still good fun. The grinding to get T4 gear is pretty awful and if you're newly joining just find a buddy to help make it less poo poo because god drat. It used to be more grindy. it's gotten way better. We were musing in discord tonight. The two things we landed on that the game still desperately needs: 1. More things that draw players to a specific point for conflict. Ganks and PvP are fun, but roaming around the map and not finding anyone for 30 minutes is not. The relic chests are a good start, but the game needs more stuff like this. Doesn't need to be for the sake of PvP. 2. More "content" and less homogenous terrain. The map designs feel rushed and uninspired. The game world is made up of a grid of similar zones with no real flavor or meaning to them. I don't think people care that they have to travel long distances, but they do care that the journey is bland and boring. Otherwise, the game is in a much better place than it used to be. Most of the major systems only need tweaking, not a redesign. Hopefully they stop doing those and just improve what they have.

Where are all the T2 trees? In the first area I had T1 stone T1 skin T1 wood The second zone has T2 stone T2 skin T2 metal T2 cotton(?) T1 wood I think I also found some T3 stuff. It wants me to use a higher level pickaxe/scythe anyway

the rep system is brutal in the kings/queens islands. this is why we are killing reds only in those lands and going to black zones for unrestricted pvp

This game is very fun. The simplicity of it is what makes it fun. I've also encountered some of the coolest and weirdest dudes I've ever met in online games on here so far. At least it has interaction unlike a handful of other mmo's.

Holy poo poo. They did it. They made the power increase in per tier of item linear instead of compounding. And the proportional tier gaps are even further compressed by basically getting 2-3 tiers of gear for free just by skilling up. It only took forever.

The real ballbuster at the moment is grinding and like we were saying last night the real test is how viable small groups can survive and do meaningful stuff in the later game. Last beta I played basically made it seem impossible which iirc caused Girl Scout Cookies to collapse entirely. Edit - Oh and the issue with being in what I think was the black zone without a home set seemed to be an oversight by SI that can be relatively fixed easily. Just make a ferry to the starter zones (one way only) or the option to respawn there. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Aug 6, 2016 |
