Is there still room in the tribe on 178? The private server I was playing on has turned into a rubber banding lag fest so I'm thinking of starting out new.

This seems unlikely given that I've been building it in local/co-op with some friends, but god only knows what they'll add to the game in the future :shobon:.

I'd like NPC hordes attacking your base after you get to a certain size. That would be dope.

no.
Has anyone figured out how NPC spawn blocking works? We built on the plateau above the SE side of the Set city and no NPCs spawn on the 2 parallel roads along the south there where the carpenter is supposed to spawn.
All the rocks and resources spawn as normal between our base and the city, the Set priest and friends spawn nearby, but that entire southeastern section is just empty.

Whatever fix they put in for it didn't hack it, NPC spawns are still easily broken, including the religion teachers. One server I think I saw people building on top of the pirate ship town.

Corn Dogs- Deep Fried Proof Of A Loving God
I've never played any of these types of survival games, but one of my buddies and I are both Robert E. Howard and Conan film fans, and this is looking really fun. We're probably going to wait for it to be a bit further along in early access, but does it seem like it would be a fun game to play single player and co-op? Can you maintain multiple single-player saves that will store all of world and character data? And is it possible for my buddy to to drop into my saves and vice versa?

Has anyone figured out how to get ceiling tiles to snap to the top of a gate properly? The bottom of the gate wants to align with the CENTER of foundation pieces but the top wants to have ceiling tiles snap at the EDGE. So then you have a ceiling and floor that are offset and there are gaps and you're gonna have a bad time.....

I suspect that you can quite easily copy the save and move it back if you want to switch worlds, but there is no support for doing so automatically.

This is the same for US servers too. BTW, all of bases on 178 have been wiped by exploiting spergs. They literally built their base from stolen admin created t3 building mats and exploited to get past the green death wall which has resources near their base. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the guy they "raided" to get the admin cheated t3 building mats also didn't have god tokens or anything else crazy.

I really want a wipe to the officials just because of all the salting. Let alone the admin key on officials was also hacked/leaked last week so most of the US ones are really hosed up because of that.

Is there any reason to build tier 2 or tier 3 buildings? It seems like the only way to play the game right now is to build on a cliff and remove the stairs behind you. If the glitches allowing people to jump past these stairs are now gone (is that true?) then the only way to destroy a cliff base is to summon gods on them. And since gods destroy tier 3, it seems like it doesn't matter whether you have tier 1 or tier 3 walls on your base.

Also, I've been playing on 178 under the name Jash for a while -- I hang out in the northwest. Didn't want to get too caught up in the galactic battles that are going on with LLJK. If you see me I'm a goon friend or if anyone here is small fish and wants to join me come let me know.

It doesn't because you can't defend a base any other way. Ideally you would start with a cliffside base and expand out with tier 2 and 3 materials when you can make them. But if you can't break any thralls to guard your base (because every thrall camp is completely empty) there's nothing stopping people from raiding.

First off, thralls suck dick and can't fight worth a poo poo. Also Gods are extremely easy to farm up and allows the "alpha" clan to wipe anyone at will.

The only defense from being raided is building small, on top of a huge rear end mesa that no one can see from the ground besides the stairs. Like, don't even build foundations or walls. Just plop down crafting stations.

Uh no? The game is very early accessie. The only counters in the game to mesa bases are gods and exsplosive jar rock climbing, which both are easy to get. Once you and your guys hit 50 there isn't much holding you back from wrecking any fort.

Which at that point you realize you don't need a base or fort. Just Set shrines and t2/t3 thrall pits where ever you plan on farming/raiding. Once you're 50 you are free from the need of a base.

why didn't funcom balance it properly

why aren't all the key functions in place yet

it's almost like the game is still in active development and things will be added and streamlined as they go along

Yeah my base kept getting raided every night and I just kinda stopped bothering. I only get an hour or 2 at a time and spending that rebuilding a base just to have it destroyed for no gain (it's literally just some walls and storage boxes) felt like a waste of time. I'll come back to the game when things are more balanced cause it is legit fun.

Does that mean my tears have been harvested or something?

What you should do, which kinda goes against the purpose of these games, is focus on leveling to 50. Once your 50 then build your base with t3 poo poo on hard to reach places.

Yea grinding levels like it is a Korean MMO might not be fun or your style of play, but it's the most efficient way of spending your time on a PvP server. Build a 1x1 poo poo shack next to a spider cave/NW city/pirate ship with a bed in it. Once you hit level 38 take explosive jars and create and dismantle them over and over again. If you have enough tar, you should go from 38 to 50 on a 1x server in 2 hours.

Edit: not telling you how to play the game, just saying what the most effective thing to do on PvP servers which aren't focused base building but player vs player.
