Shenanigans!
Since the kickstarter? Um... There's an animal town in Sun Vale with a very romantic bull. There's now a South Serbule which is more newbie friendly and better graphics than original Serbule. A 2-3 new very high level areas. A fuckload of classes. The ability to salvage and randomize the stats on your magic gear. Guilds. A bazaar. You can't farm banker hangouts anymore. Um... Stuff?

I had some really old gear, not everything was listed as "broken" though. The broken stuff can be turned into an NPC for a new item that's the same as the turn in's rarity.

While werewolf is cool and all, I sort of wish I hadn't taken it for my semi-main character. Blows when you just want to get something from storage but can't cause you're stuck as a dog for a week. That said, finished getting the wolf altar level and skill upgrades so now I don't have to bother with the grindy fullmoon quests for other than run speed :toot:

Until they increase level cap anyways but actual lol if anyone thinks that'll happen this or even next decade with P:G's utterly glacial development speed.

Forums think it's a big possibility before release happens.
Since devs and guides talk there all the time and they (forums) are tiny I kinda believe that we'll see 100 levels when wipe happens, just cause every veteran will be at full everything otherwise.

Dunno if we're still gathering newbie tips but here's one:



This guy arranges different sorts of golem fights. They're not overly hard because the main difficulty comes from overcoming the golems armor, not their damage output. Winning a fight pays out a nice sum of councils that's actually useful on lower levels. Third fight already gives 1000 councils.

Poking at Project Gorgon again, I've given up maining my werewolf in favor of a character I'd like to eventually build up to Ice Magic/Druid.

It's still a good game for killing a few hours, but the grind is real.

I started a new char too, so far I'm just going knife fighting / AH. I don't mind most of the grind since I like the related gameplay. Some are painful though, like cooking... unf... cooking exp should be doubled or something. Knife fighting so far isn't as good as it should be imo. Knife fighting has no good utility like heavy -rage debuffs of sword and the damage is more or less on par with sword. And that's all while sacrificing the survivability of a shield in favor of dual wielding knives. I'm still sticking with it though since I already got a sword char but knives do need some love.

Also sometimes this game just makes me laugh. Yesterday I think some admin or whatever spawned a kraken inside Serbule inn. Serbule was a graveyard afterwards :toot:

I think crafting xp in general needs a boost. I tried Shamanic Infusion, got it to around 10 and then my eyes gazed over at the amount of various creature asses I'd need to get it to 50. Shamanic Infusion is supposed to be the low end "newbie" skill vs Augmentation's high end stuff.

Shamanic Infusion may be intended as poor man's augmentation but this isn't what it's usually leveled for. Because it's really cheap but tiresome to level shamanic infusion via buying from "buy used" tab, people usually level it like that for lvl 50 + inv slot belt, last time I played that belt alone required just rat tails to craft, but went for around 10k on a player market.
So you have a situation where players like me are leveling it for cheap over a long period of time by buying all the things from buy used tab every time they're in town. And I think that's how you meant to level it, as opposed to just collecting bear asses.

Incidentally I have around 7 mules worth of materials and I don't play this game anymore, so if you ever need anything for basically almost any skill - PM me and I'll make an effort of logging in and giving it to you. Or just add me at https://steamcommunity.com/id/7234564451252/ and specify what you want.

I thought this is kinda funny.

Anyone thinking this game gets 1.0 in 2019 is way way waaaaay the hell beyond glass-is-half-full category. They got like... what, three races, multiple zones and whatever else to do before release? And maybe instancing if they don't want ~400 simultaneous players to tank their massive multiplayer game lol

Skimming the developer posts on the forums it seems he got caught up working a bunch on some casino games, but they were so bad he threw most of them out. That sounds like a huge waste of time for a development team of two, but I bet he's comforted by the fact he can keep pushing back the release date whenever.

Mmm, yeah. I visited the casino yesterday. It's supposed to be a hub for mid-level players or something like that. There were two games to play. One had several pages of instructions so I couldn't be arsed to test it, other one was a classic sort of gems game where you line up icons to get points. On top of that it had all the usual vendors and npc's.

I don't really see any reason why I'd spend time there instead of Serbule where it feels all homey and I can sit in a well playing blatterhorn for newbies tormenting people with blatterhorn.

That place took months to develop. :negative:

In the modern world, a game don't need to be finished to declare 1.0.

"1.0" is just a psychological barrier. If anything, that is good news for any hoarder, because from that point, is safe to hoard whatever dreams content.

Has for content wise, ... I played this game for about 2 months or no continuous play. I don't think I was level 50 in any combat skill.

PG is not wow, and never will be wow, but may have already enough content to have the "1.0" label.

Fewd
Mar 22, 2007

#vmp #opsec #kolmiloikka #happoo
Well yes, there's nothing to stop from releasing unfinished, unoptimized buggy mess and calling it a good finished 1.0 instead of the early alpha that it is. I mean, we got games like Towns and Starbase DF-9 being sold in Steam so there's really no limit how much a game developer is allowed to bullshit people in this time and age.

Bare minimum of polishing and bugfixing current game content would already most likely take them longer than the quoted summer 2019 date. On top of that, the gameplay area as it is currently is so small that it simply cannot maintain any decent amount of people who might buy this game. If they release this game 2019, it's gonna go down crashing and burning. And Elder Game with it because they won't have cash for upkeep and an acceptable development speed. Current prime time peak PG has roughly 200 people online, maybe around 50-100 outside that. Don't need to be a financial guru to see it's not gonna cut it.

On one hand I wanna say it's a really niche game that doesn't need that many players to support it, with vip perks and whales being a thing in other niche games (which they are planning to do). On the other - it had all the exposure it needed in the past 6 months and it's still dead, so obviously it lacks a lot even for a niche player.

All in all, I think it suffers too much from creativity and "vision" problem of main devs, it simultaneously what made this game great, and 8 years in development with just this to show. I've been to the casino, and it's a horrible mess of level design that made me feel claustrophobic and lost, and games just made me think on how valuable development time is.

And before that a dungeon for new players that everyone forgot about in a month. And before that god knows what.

My PC is a laptop MacBook Air from 2013, and because the game is unoptimized I can run it with everything sets to minimun but it overheats the machine.

But I can't imagine anyone finding anything to complain about the game. Sure most of the artwork is below amateur level, is terrible. But thats not the point of the game. If you want good graphics, you have like a million of clones of wow..., all of them with the same mechanics and a theme park and all of them play exactly the same way.

So you get PG because is a different take to the genre, and is simple and fresh, and silly, and do things no other game do.

PG is ugly, ugly like Google homesite in 1997.

Rummencola seems the have gone a couple steps beyond having a few screws loose (in a hilarious way) after he got made admin. He likes spawning poo poo on players. I was growing beets and stuff in Serbule the other day and first he spawned Serbule full of spiders, then pigs and finally a wave of ghoul smashers.

Someone was bitching about getting a good ploughing from the ghouls and the answer was more or less "deal with it" :dukedog:

At least it wasn't krakens this time.

My dream is to upgrade this Mac Book and get a new one that is powerful enough to run Project Gorgon.

Anyone have a good recomendation for mac to play Project Gorgon? (I know it would be much easier with PC, but I have not interest in running windows or linux on a portable).

Well, they've been mauling players with boss events this Halloween. Rumm said they've been doing these to plan and tune world boss encounters. So far the bosses have been somewhat hitpoint bloaty but eh, not overly bad when compared to other mmo's. They have been boring though since so far every boss only seems to have one special mechanic. The events tend to also have some sort of wave defense stuff, for example in Kur there were waves of dozens of bears and wolves attacking the inn.

Yesterday Rumm spawned a giant 2 million health version of Ciervos in Serb Hills. It turned most of the games active population into deers :v:

Also, he molested Serbule with a BILLION health Kraken. The fight went on about an hour during which players took out 1% of its health according to autopsy, rest was Rumm smiting it cause even he was probably getting nauseous of the fight. But drat, never before has Serbule received so many tombstones.

e: Kraken loot? I got a leaky pot. I sold it for 20 councils.

There's now a demo available. It looks pretty limited but serves its purpose I suppose. It's not a "free" to play mode similar to other mmo's, but includes 3 first areas, skill caps at 15 and other limitations. New dev blog has more about that and stuff.

In December there are raffles on weekends where demo players can win Steam keys for PG. I don't think there's a huge amount of demo players on any specific time zone so I'd say there's an actual chance to win a key.

Also you can expect to get eaten by a kraken on every event whether you win or not.
