Oh you can also clip under the world and loot stuff without being seen, the chinese started stealing fragments this way, it's pretty annoying.


The eu goon numbers in rupucams doesn't seem large enough for anything interesting to happen until NA folks wake up sadly which is why i'm asking but with quarantine and working from home i guess i can mess my sleep schedule up every so often for some fun before this game dies down :coffeepal:

i'm part of the mostly non-goon please knock mums group. i understand why they don't want too many non-friends there, if i'm honest it's a tad awkward because i feel like i'm intruding, but if you guys make a goon eu clan i'm sure we can have some sort of non-kill and help each other arrangement set up. we'e already peaceful with about 2-3 other clans.

For anyone wondering about the actual game none of this stupid posting slap fight is present in game. If you like to chop trees this game is good for that and if you like to fight mans it is good for that too. It's a lot harder to lose all of your stuff than in similar games and if it turns out the area you camped out as your home base is too hot you can just take all your stuff and leave.

They are adding the zone destruction next week so everyone will have to stay mobile and that's going to shake up the way a lot of people are playing and push a lot more people into conflict. Making a giant hoarder base is going to be a huge pain in the rear end to maintain but right now people have been doing it.

I guess we don't have an actual EU goon group, right? Missing out on all the good pvp at 3am my time is starting to be disheartening.

I'm holding out hope that the weekends will have amerigoons playing at more reasonable times.

(Or just going to work after 5 hours sleep like after last night's base defence.)

For people who might be wondering what this game actually plays like, here's what I ended up doing in about 7 hours last night:

  • Infiltrated goonland in a spider walker and screwed around mining for a bit because I'd been kicked from the clan during The Great Non-Goon gently caress Over the night before
  • Got re-invited, and free from the risk of being goon merked spent some time porting in my 'safe' bank walkers and playing pretty pretty base builder
  • Including rebuilding my mucking around stiletto which had been half destroyed in a random PvP encounter the night before. I looted the bugger in the end though.
  • Heard the Call of The Clan and spent a while hunting frags to contribute towards teching up a fancy new clan walker
  • Logged off for the night
  • Heard Bert getting worried in Discord about maps near us suddenly looking full
  • Logged back in, stuck in a 25 man queue. This indicated we were about to be hit, and everyone on the server started desperately logging their poo poo out so it didn't get raided.
  • Mass fumbling around trying to get crews together for PvP walkers, spawned naked on Rizzit's boat and auto-equipped gear from his hold
  • Re-enacted the Saving Private Ryan beach scene, crouching behind a repeater while two fully loaded enemy buffalos rained down hundreds of bolts on us
  • An enjoyable hour and a half of smacking people with sticks, grappling hooking around, manning various random weapons, repairing and re-watering walkers, and watching the pretty green clouds of biological weapons annihilate our foes.
  • Looted the poo poo out of people. A huge part of the PvP game is policing up the weapons and armour that get dropped to ensure enemies can't spawn naked and pick it up, then ideally running it back to friendly walkers so your spawns get auto-equipped with at least some sort of weapon. You end up picking up some ridiculous things, like 10 stacks of heavy rawhide axes, singblades and a +32 fibre headwrap(?!?)
  • See also the fun of actually looting enemy ships. One of them bought 100 fire arrows with them, which we looted from the ammo boxes on top and used to break into their own holds.
  • Actually logged off for the night

How bad is the lag really?

Every single game of this kind that I played made me quit because of the horrific lag...

Empyrion, horrific lag, Worlds Adrift (RIP) horrific lag, Atlas horrific lag....

I'm hearing mixed feedback about the lag and it's been the primary reason for me not wanting to touch yet another early access pvp survival game...

The network lag is almost nonexistent in all but the very largest fights. Your computer might have problems if it's more than a few years old tho.

I love how we were fine with 1001 and his crew raiding us occasionally when we thought they were Chinese, but when it turned out they were racist children we unified and destroyed all their poo poo last night. Goons are awesome.

I have never experienced any lag but I've never been in a massive fight. But literally any game with a lot of players in one spot is going to have lag.

I mean - yes but I want PlanetSide 2 level combat and lag - not lagging off the boat, clipping through walls/terrain, lag.

I still don't understand why no other game has managed to produce Planetside 2 player numbers and network performance.

TBH since we packed away the bases and no longer have tons of stupid in the main area most of my lag has recessed. Rendering a base which is made up of dozens or hundreds of individual tiles much less a dozen is an issue.

Unlike in Atlas, you don't fall through the boat in this game. The walkers crash into each other, rock back and forth, and get thrown around a bit while you are having melee fights on the deck with enemy boarders. It just works.

The lag people describe comes in a few factors. One is that the framerate drops when you have 60 people all running around, swinging with their grapples, onto a bunch of walkers. My PC, which has a Ryzen 3900X and a GTX 1070, can dip to 20-30 fps in huge fights.

The other is that the game will degrade some stuff to try to keep things workable. Animations might start to become less fluid. You might have issues where the server tick rate slows and hits/blocks become a little delayed. Everything is still workable, though, and I have been able to fight people and block attacks and whatnot under the lag. It is harder, but it still works.

The steadiness that you have on the boats is what blows my mind. This is something that I have literally never experienced in another game. It feels like you’re just gonna have a subpar time while standing on a moving vehicle in a video game unless you’re playing Last Oasis.

I guess because we are an island completely surrounded by OwO, people are suddenly becoming curious about our little oasis inside the green sea. The past two days has been massive fight after fight and every time we end up wiping the group and stealing all their poo poo.

This feels like season 1 of Atlas where we were under attack on all fronts. Two nights in a row "The Radium Oath" has tried to roll on us and each time they've lost all their walkers and all their gear. Today we've also been attacked by Thirst, Sun Empire, Big-time, and more.

We are getting a lot more efficient at fights. We can't stop feeding all our gear to a couple Twitch streamers, but we do pretty well in big fights.

Game is good, and probably one of the better survival MMO things with a few caveats:

It dosent have the expansive tech tree you get out of an older game like ARK or conan, everything in the game (barring stuff we cant get the resources for) is within reach at the moment. So if you want to build laser raptors this aint your game.

Similar to above this isn't a game where you build doom forts, you will have small temporary bases as well as stuff you pack on/off your walker. If you want to build the Cistine Chapel in a survival game this aint for you.

It does have a few rough edges, none of them are with the core gameplay (that's v good) it just has a few systems and designs they havent worked out. A few walkers probably need to be re-balanced (A few bigger ones), there are some systems they need to put more thought into and the 100 person servers could lead to degenerate gameplay. I want to stress again the core game is good just it is rough around some edges

Non Game ralted:
If you're an EU player who plays at EU times you will be mostly chilling with a much smaller group if you join up on NA. If you just want to explore the game and do stuff solo that's probably perfect for you but due to claim mechanics and attack timers (as well as most people being on US) most big battles happen around 1-3 AM EU times, so if you can't rotate your sleep schedule and want to join in massive battles every day keep that in mind. If you just wanna join up on weekends or once in a whil then yeah do that.

Also the game is currently in a wierd state right now (not bad, just different). The destruction of zones every 7 days (well each zone lasting 7 days) isn't on, which is allowing a land grab turtling style that will feel a little different when everyone is moving.

For the love of the game
I'm playing with the NA goons, mostly because greater numbers mean quite a lot for holding zones, but also I'm hoping more eurogoons will do the same and we can form sub-groups. From experience with other non-WoW MMO games, eurogoon presence is rarely enough to keep an active guild going for long.

Also: If we manage to get enough eurogoons to make like a 5-10 size hit-squad we can probably do a ton of damage to silly NA people being asleep.
