Website is not really fully back, at least not here. Its slow as heck. I'm guessing he was expecting a lot of traffic, but not as much as he got. Might not have the xp in dealing with a super high volume of traffic. You only learn how to deal with it once you've run though it.

AlmightyBob posted:So if there aren't going to be any quests is the game just running around aimlessly? I mean, the game sounds cool and all but I guess I kind of need at least a little bit of actual structure or I get bogged down and can't find anything to do. There are missions/quests to be done. They reward more xp than grinding monsters.

Give the semi-sporadic/very slow burn we've had up until the last two weeks, its pretty easy to see why you'd have missed something.

Humble store doesn't fix his server being able to cope with people creating accounts on his site, generating keys, dealing with support/billing requests. I'd rather he take the time to get stuff working as well as possible upfront. As someone who deals with customer billing issues, I'd hate to see the nightmare that would be their email inbox if 15-20k people bought the day game one, and then couldn't download it.

tooooooo bad posted:Opening it for pre-orders a few days in advance sure would have. Not really, until you've dealt with _insane_ server requirements, you're not really prepared to deal with it. He could do all the prep work he could hope for, but it won't matter until you see real data. Real data is never the same or as predicable as what you'd throw at a server in a test environment. This is speaking from experience in dealing with fairly high traffic websites and dealing with some of the _insane_ traffic that they happen to deal with a few times a year.

Mini demo is back up again: https://s3.amazonaws.com/picroma/demo/CubeDemo.zip You'll need to wait after launching it for it to render the world. The longer you wait (up until a point) the more it generates. It just spins quote:It's basically just a starting screen with a rotating landscape in the background. If it runs smoothly and you can see the logo and the text below it, your PC is ready for Cube World.

Once they get the store stable they will easily make more then any of us on this thread do in a year within just a few hours. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes as far as support/sales services goes. Something like this is what nightmares are made of, and I've already lived though something like this once. The biggest benefit for them, is that they make the profit.

He's done a very slow controlled burn, and by applying Cartman's "You can't come technique" to his game, he's made people want it more. It was worsened when a few bigger youtube/twitch people got copies to play. Like a lot of other big beta's for games, everyone wants in, its worse when you can only look on. To be given a glimmer of access yourself and then to have all that dashed stirs people to want it more.

I spent nearly two hours playing, and almost all of my time while doing that was streaming. I got to level 3, and after getting to level 3, I still couldn't defeat an "easy" area "boss". Decided to give it a rest tonight, and will pick back up later today after work. I'd like to see someone spawn with you, and give you a bit of a heads up where to go. It'd be nice if the shops had gear for you (when solo) that is a tiny upgrade :/ A filter for the buying areas that show you gear for you would be nice too. Being picky for an alpha... The only thing right now I feel I NEED, is the ability to rebind keys. MMB is not ideal for me (its my vent bind) to dodge. I'd much rather have a double tap to dodge too.

TShields posted:Am I doing something wrong, or is it okay to be level 1 for like an hour? This game is in serious need of some XP balancing. Everything I murder is like 1-2 XP, and I've been wiped off the face of the planet a half dozen times by wandering wizard swarms. This game is fun though, wish I had someone to play with. Yea, my suggestion is to find orange/white colored mobs, and pick stuff off. Melee is a lot harder earlier on, ranged has the advantage of huge distance to whittle things down. Don't forget to dodge, it makes a huge difference. In the 7 hours me and my friends played last night, I think our first two hours, we got to level 3, then, we rocketed up to level 19~ in the next 5 hours.

Me and my friends found two jungle/ocean biomes last night, that was pretty kickass. Also found a blue slime to tame, and a death god mosquito that dropped a level 100 wind spirit cube  Its pretty amazing how much time you can spend in this game and not realize it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KpDDPHPhmY Pets in multiplayer seem to de-level when you change gear, to their base level. This doesn't happen in single player.

Baloogan posted:Yeah I wish I didn't buy it. Its not worth 20 bux. Its more along the lines of a game that should have been released for free. I got about 14 hours of playtime out of the game, purely in co-op with 3 others. We're all kind of in a holding pattern on updates as we don't want to burn ourselves out on the game before it has more content in it. A few of the fan sites are hugely crazy busy with people ranting on about the game. I've spent more money, on games that have given me less hours. It wasn't a waste in my mind.

Kikas posted:My biggest gripe is that the server only allows one player to join and spawns no mobs at all when run on XP, cause I have a separate PC for running various game servers, and it's still on XP because I didn't feel the need to upgrade. And my PC kinda fries when I try to host and play on it at once, so this makes playing with friends hard. Other then that, I got exactly what I'd think I get. That's super weird, you don't have any firewalls blocking any of its communication right?

Malt posted:I picked up this game and I feel like I'm missing something. Bosses are punishingly hard, they can take a while. Worse if your solo. Bosses tend to have high armor, and health, and until you build up a good set of hits on them, your damage to them tends to be low-0. After a successful group of hits, you do more damage. If you break that cycle by taking damage, or dodging when you shouldn't, you lose the buildup. This game right now, is really meant for co-op.

virtualboyCOLOR posted:This game is garbage and isn't worth playing for free. Definitely feels like the author is taking people's money and running. It pretty obvious that he doesn't know what he is doing what with the sparse updates, terrible distribution service, lack of server features (none really), terrible leveling (underpowered in single player, over powered in multiplayer), lack of promised features. Basically anyone on the fence should run to someone else's yard. In your opinion. I got about 20 hours of gameplay out of cubeworld, playing with friends, exploring, etc. It was great, I got my monies worth. If you're not okay, with a lack of real content, or don't like to explore, or don't like more action combat, then this game might not be for you, and you should not buy it.

Last update from Wollay was in July. This is unacceptable.

I emailed them and got a new, valid activation key 2 business days later, even though it's a three person team. If they could handle that in 2 days while also running an IndieGoGo campaign and working on their next game, I think this dude can handle five minutes telling people what he's working on. What irks me is people comparing apples and oranges. Did you have a billing, or activation issue when you made your purchase for Cubeworld?

IIRC we had two mages in our group, I think they were both water at one point. Its kind of sad fire doesn't get an AOE damage to boost itself. Fire never seemed to do more damage, than water, and water had healing going for it. Wands/braclets I think leave water spots the ground that heal your friends/yourself, also. I tried playing as a warrior early on, but found I either did no damage, and couldn't hold anything well. I went back to my ninja and we continued to own things pretty hard.

Above Our Own posted:IN MY OPINION fire is strictly worse in every way. Wands/lets do also heal friendlies in the path of the projectile, but it doesn't end up being nearly as much passive healing as the swirly. I meant dot, not AOE, though having similar fire patches on the ground for fire would have been neat, even if just a clone on what water was doing. I preferred the ninja's play style, and tanked fairly well, as long as I had someone baking me up. I could never not get hit, you're not 100% immune even while dodging.
