Convince your mans to come back with the next update or something, it would be fun to have a dedicated EU group going somewhere else than NA locations with major lag.

If you like Eve online but want more fun combat, this game's good. If you just want to play SimBase, this game is good. If you want to spiderman slingshot through trees, this game is good. If you like griefing people by abusing weird buggy early-access stuff, this game is good. Thoroughly enjoying it.

This thread is quiet mainly because we're all having a great time killing each other daily in massive battles. Pretty sure we had like 50 goons on discord at some point today. Game is extremely good, get in

It's alive because it's the best full loot pvp mmo duh. I'll try and I really want to get them in here because as it is right now I've lost my motivation to login simply because everything fun happens when I'm sleeping

It doesn't have to- I think right now we'd benefit from some supply chain disruption of our enemies during the "off" hours.

In that game, you could fly something small and lovely, and steal everything from a player in something big and lovely. You can in theory do that here, but all the respawn options make it more challenging. Breaking chests take time, and breaking open walkers take even longer. It's not a one-and-done fight. You can get lucky, finding someone's base while they aren't around though. Even the smallest walkers can break into them with scattershots.

This also extends to sibling clans - no, putting all your cheaters in a different clan won't help you. If your clan profits from having a cheater, even if it's just one player, the unfair advantage over the clans that play by the rules will be quickly equalized.

That is a rather strong stance. Queue subterfuge where players get into clans on alt accounts for the pure intent of running cheats to get a clan deleted.

If all you ever do is run around alone your experience will be monkey murder and tree chopping for hours then a big gang guys roll by and steal it all. Playing mostly alone in a clan isn’t as bad because you can use their good tools and/or stockpile to jump start your solo adventures and then you can actually contribute.

Solo folks are also super helpful if they're willing to pool resources in a larger supply chain, or even just spread info while running around fragment hunting. Spotting targets is a huge part of this game even if you don't want to be in a brawl. It's a fun game to just run around and build sandbox projects, but in its current state all the other nerds in the game provide the spice of content the game needs.

I'm real excited to play this for some reason, got it last night and once I have time later I'll be actually playing the game jumping in the discord as someone who liked dark souls and never played M&B, how disappointed will I be in this melee combat? the fact you still seem to need to do directional blocks and attacks looks like it'll be interesting, especially that chambering thing

It's facially similar to dark souls, but the lack of dodge roll gives it a radically different feel; fights are less squirrely. Blocking is easier than parrying in dark souls, but far more important. You have more stamina, but its harder to recover. Combat terrain is massively important, since its super easy to keep hitting walls with too large a weapon. Friendly fire is a constant problem; even the NPCs can hit eachother.

In Atlas, cheaters could teleport to the center of your fort, ignore clan locks to open all your loot boxes, and dump the entire contents of your guild vault to despawn on the floor. Or aggressively aimbotting and consistently sniping targets that literally cannot be seen, deep underwater. Or the bullshit people are doing so far in LO with cheating their way under the terrain mesh to do stupid bullshit. I'd love to play a survival MMO where subtle esp hacking is what gets people talking, because it'd mean all the blatant stuff is under control. smertrioslol posted:The friendly fire with npcs is nice and let’s me clear whole camps in one pull pretty consistently.

Just hold attack to charge a power hit, and don't let go. The rupus will either charge a power attack of their own or block. You can walk through the base to pull all of them into a pile then chop them down.

Magres posted:Ooohh do tell, I tend to get beaten to death on the way through if I try to sprint through a camp. Aggro a pile, ensure that they're all on top of each other, and just block the lead guy's attacks while the rest beat each other to death trying to hit you. Make sure they're in a line, cause if they spread out horizontally it'll be impossible to block everything.

After playing for a while, I can tell you now this game is like the devs looked at Atlas and asked themselves, "How can we make a game this fun, but without all the bullshit like five different vitamins and ships that take days to build but sink in minutes?" Or like someone looked at Eve and asked, "How can we make a game with the same political intrigue and salt, but without playing like an Excel spreadsheet?" Also in classic Goon fashion we've already made so many enemies that when people show up in our tile trying to get revenge on us we have to ask who they are first.

Chinese clans attack our oasis every night in quite large numbers. The only thing which works is throwing down an insane amount of gas to split their forces and murder them in small groups. Felt kinda bad because they had a quality 58 (or something) stiletto and i was guarding it as we were burning it and 2 naked people kept coming up and trying to get us to stop, but it was the same stiletto which attacked us yesterday so you gotta do what you gotta do. I love how big weapons are basically crap on the walker decks. I was fighting 3 people and i had a one-handed weapon and they all just kept hitting the walls trying to do 2 handed attacks on me. It was rad.

I think the swordstaff might work for deck fights because the overhand attack is a thrust, which seems like it'd be hard to parry and doesn't have to worry so much about hitting walls

Eventually just switched to the hand axe. Also, if the other guy knows what you're doing, they'll just block it consistently.

I've been owned by the stab in friendly duels as my brain takes a slight moment to recognise it as an overhead attack but it's always been a bit awkward in field combat.

Re:swordstaff, a quick overhead is a normal swing down, the charged overhead is what turns it into a stab. Adds a lot of flexibility and looks cool.

In another episode of Swayze's Crazies... Goon Wing Ops...    We have been constantly fighting this group of pubbies called Fist of the Empire, and pretty much every night we collect buckets of salts and tears from all of them. We want more goons to join us for shenanigans and fun expeditions on behalf of the demise of these pubbies. Tempus Thales fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Apr 25, 2020 |

I'm pretty sure the group that killed me and my buddies on launch day was called Fist of the Empire Probably. They're a big bureaucratic group that fails to protect their vassals and already caused one to fracture because of that. We went at them with about 10 throwaway fireflies once just to gently caress with them and it took them about an hour to respond to it with their entire army. They killed two fireflies and a dingy and acted like they'd destroyed our entire military force. Yesterday we dunked on them while they were in the middle of setting up their new base and made off with a fuckload of loot. They were swarmed by valiant and brave goons destroying their ships and gassing the everliving poo poo out of them. Then they completely abandoned the tile. tl;dr;  goons

They also tried to proxy Groon's home tile three times despite having no presence in our zone. We burned down all of them while stealing all the taxes, and the night Goons dunked them in fireflies we were commando raiding their public infrastructure and pulling the crab to their excavator bases. They have the loving best local chat when they get wound up, and any amount of hardship winds them up.
