I like looking at islands.  No but seriously, I have no idea why they're so scared to mix up their alpha game. It's not beta, they falsely pretended it was beta to secure funding (I think?) and now they're stuck running a live alpha. They should be doing big bold changes to how the game is played at the very least. Agonizing over global chat vs SHOUTING IN ALL CAPS is not what you do at an alpha stage of game development. Really, I adore this bad game for whatever reason but it's like there's a gas leak and their team leads are napping forever. Of course they say "once the networking issues are worked out... that's when the content will flow!" But I doubt that sometimes. Either commit to the project or let it die? God, I don't know. I want them to commit and make something wonderful but their pace and communication up until very recently has been glacial. After 0.1.7 things have improved I just wonder if it will ever be enough to get to a proper 1.0.

https://www.worldsadrift.com/roadmap/ Dare I say a fix to lots of issues with the addition of things we need to make the game both playable and giving a reason to stick around and play. Most notably taking control of entire islands and regions.

NEW KIOKI REGION - Includes distinct loot table, new music, new Kioki-specific clothing, lore, and more. Get your fashion adrift going on! Lots of neat ideas on that roadmap. I can't wait to see them in game.

[9:29 AM] Bossa Julia: Early Access: May 17th 2018 Not to be confused with the fact anyone can buy it currently on steam and play, in this closed beta. New build and kioki islands on 5/17/18. The start of "Steam early access", so beta??

I feel like they're jumping the gun again but what do you expect when they listen to all the hardcore rear end kissers on the unofficial discord. There's a severe lack of features. This isn't beta. It's alpha. They haven't even added meaningful grouping yet (alliances) in a mmo game. After two years. Nor are there in game social options in anything but the most basic format. But I guess that's beta?! I'd shoot for September and give this more time. Here we go anyways!

I feel like they are in denial about their customer base. Do they actually think by doing some it's open access beta or some none sense will get them even more people who already didn't try the game. I feel like they need to pull the existing players back in instead of fishing for another round of funding and new idiots to suck in.

All I'm saying is they better have some loving good updates between then and now if they want to keep that new batch of players But I'm looking at the left column roadmap and not seeing it. Basic alliances, some interface fixes, "crew fixes" with no mention of crew reviver. Content-wise, new map layout and islands. Balance-wise, revivers take damage the farther away you revive. Those are significant, but is that all? Jackard fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Apr 11, 2018 |

Two weeks remain until Early Access launch and they've updated and reshuffled the road map. https://www.worldsadrift.com/roadmap/ Basic alliance stuff has been moved up, as well as territory control, engine overheat and ammo capacity. If they really stick to this roadmap the game is going to be something pretty different in six months.

This seems like a bizarre and ill thought out waste of money. Also the "airship" is literally just a table and chairs anchored to a metal slab held up by a crane. It doesn't even look like you can stand up once you sit down and they raise it up. Sorry if you gotta piss I guess? This is so confusing.

They're a UK company so finding enough tremendously fat fans will be a lot harder than if they were a US based company. I like that they featured PvP more predominately so people don't get the wrong idea. This is a good thing. People are gonna get "griefed."

If the trailer were accurate, you would spawn in to immediately be gunned down. Then by the time you build your first ship, pirates would slowboat into your bubble and canon you to death while building. By the time your second ship is ready to fly, it would just explode on take off and you would respawn in a random part of the world. Worlds Adrift.

Like to trade you have to find a corpse bag or unowned chest and swap poo poo there and the devs have specifically said any kind of normal trade interface goes against their freeform vision for the game. The fall in love with the theory of what will happen and just ignore the fact that it won't or doesn't work. A good example is the upcoming radio. It's an in game object that costs weight and materials and gives worse functionality than running discord. No one is gonna use it but they just kind of soldier on.

A decent writeup on bugs: https://www.worldsadrift.com/forums/topic/compilation-of-old-bugs-that-are-still-around/ Here's a video where a ship dies from a combination of bad luck, bugs and lovely piloting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_oO_b0eKEo Three man crew - one is greyscreening when the ship takes random damage. This time it affects the helm+whatever, the pilot gets flung off from wonky physics, again when he tries to respawn, and the ship dives into the abyss. Here's the same bug from the pilot's perspective where random damage hits something unimportant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0NehAKx42A Actual fights in this game almost require a group of three or more. Crashes, greyscreening, and all the other random poo poo that happens doesn't hurt nearly as bad when you have enough people. Jackard fucked around with this message at 00:16 on May 12, 2018 |

This looks like it could be kind of cool if it played like Sea of Thieves: airships but you have to build your own ships instead of just getting a free ship every time you spawn. The trailer looks pretty janky though.

They really need to work on how the early game plays. It takes too long to get materials, get the knowledge you need to build, design a ship, print all the needed parts, and then assemble the ship. And you can only fly using sails at first, which snap off if you wink at them. It's just too much for new players to go through all that and then not be able to escape veteran players (Who're in the starting zone because they're bored and no one is anywhere else.) They have to repeat all those gathering and building steps each time. You have to manually place all of those parts each time. There needs to be smaller, less costly entry parts that you can whip up quickly and get in the sky. Faster ground to air time can only improve a game where everything is in the loving sky. I also think they made a huge mistake with the current atlas core design. Lumping all this poo poo together into a huge wad leaves very little flexibility with design. You either psychically made a wide enough ship to comfortably fit all the arbitrarily sized upgrade parts without cutting off access to other parts of your ship, or you start over from scratch.
