Jimlit posted:They scheduled a map wipe for 18th of april. Also update the map so its 4x bigger than the previous one, and scary rear end new character models. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP6lhjEI62A This came out of nowhere in the last few weeks. I picked it up after seeing that it had overwhelmingly positive reviews (400+ positive / 18 negative). Even still, I wasn't expecting much. After some time with it, I can honestly say this game is one of the most promising sandbox mmo I've played in a while. I was also reserved about It being an early access game, but so far its delivered all of its features in a polished way. Here are the official features:
The one thing it doesn't really mention here is that it is completely open PVP right down to friendly fire. Bases can be raided, locks can be picked and inventories can be dropped. It might seem like this would just be a total death match, the game manages to keep this pretty well in bounds with a murder system that makes it so you drop your entire inventory (instead of just a few items when yellow) when you die while red. Right now its out on steam for $20 with the option for four packs Media Where to buy Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/361800/ Playing With Goons Base Rules: choose your own adventure 1) There is a yellow in the base and he stole all your're twigs and bear poop. Do you: A: post about it furiously in the thread. B: squeel loudly into mumble C: calmly ask for a local red goon to clear him out and maybe reclaim some of your stuff. A) On top of being ripped off Like the huge mark you are, you have now publicized it for everyone to see. B) close! But you triggered like 30 goons in the process and created a histaria that resulted in many bad posts and ultimatums about doors. C) the red goon swoops in avenging your honor and bear poop. The greifer is forced into a retreat and normality returns Base Location: Get on the Discord, to play with goons once the wipe hits.

If you get one of these, you probably want to save the broken item because you can melt it back into an ingot of the kind used to make it!

So, are villages actual villages populated by NPCs that do stuff? Or are they 100% player operated? This sounds a lot like Rust.

I already have a crew with 2 other goons playing, I'm very surprised nobody made a thread about it. It's quite fun. We have a village set up, no walls or anything though yet still slogging through the discovery process of the game. All crafting table types up, lots of supplies and a good location. Starting location when you make your character should be the bottom right ship, the largest and fattest ship, it will put you reasonable distance to us, you will start on the south-eastern island Come on to the CTS mumble, there is a channel set up in the MISC section and I'll post a map of our location. Do you like to steal from other villages? Do you like a UO style skill system? Do you like to grief people? Do you like to build/discover make things? Do you have $20 bucks? If you answered yes, you should most likely play. Pro tips starting out: - Those goblin coins? used to repair homes/structure, don't toss them away. - Tree of Life uses a radial menu system, right click brings up a line that you can select options for tools/food. EG equipping a apple in your hand, right clicking the apple and drawing a line to it will have your character eat the apple - If you see a skeleton sailor corpse ANYWHERE, attack it immediately, its stationary on the ground lifeless, it contains excellent goodies including a chance to drop a crude axe. Skeleton sailor corpses also drop bone fragments. Twig + Bone = Crude dagger, your first shank. - Do not attack ANYTHING without at least a non-fist weapon, you will die. - Get your stats up by punching trees, making firewood. - Do not waste your starting matches, i haven't found a way to start fires without matches yet - Become a martial artist, punch everything and be strong - You can only master 4 skills, you have 400 skill points, early it doesn't matter you just need stats, once you figure out what you want to do you can de-level stats or lock them from leveling like UO. - Coal/Iron/Copper veins are useful, break them and collect everytime - Inventory space matters, it seems like alot but it isn't - You drain hunger very quickly, even AFK. Do not sit afk, log out or something holy moley does it drain fast. - You can create a paddle with 2 pieces of firewood, its not as strong as a dagger but you can paddle trees/minerals faster and give a monster a good paddling. - As you gain levels in crafting skills more crafting options will automatically pop up over time, don't get discouraged by seeing 2-3 items on a crafting bench, it will greatly expand over time.

When this came up on my dash I assumed the overwhelmingly postive reviews were scams because reviews were broken that day and had no text. You mean people really love it? Is it possible to just peace the gently caress out and create a farm and a ranch with cow and fields and poo poo and have a small little life to escape this horrible reality or will the game make me fight like in the cruel cruel real world? I wanna be the villager that gets his house burned down at the beginning of every Robin Hood movie.

You're in luck, my house has been burned down 3 times but i've repaired it every time. There is a lock making and lock picking skill. You can live your dreams of being that peasant, don't worry.

How suspectible is this game to botting? Is this going to be like salem where there are 20 russian bots running around constantly gathering all the good poo poo?
|
# ? May 29, 2015 20:46 |

I've installed the game and been messing around for a bit now. It seems to have a lot of potential, but there is a definite lack of documentation. Like, I can't even find a list of the default key binds do or what the four stats at the bottom left of the screen represent. Could someone give a very barebones run down of this stuff?
|
# ? May 29, 2015 20:54 |
|
I would think this game would be pretty difficult to bot. No tab targeting, constant color changes from day to night and the fact that the bot would be getting trashed constantly by players and skeletons.
|
# ? May 29, 2015 20:56 |

Since the game will most likely be b2p rampant botting won't be as much of an issue, but definitely possible. I never played Salem, but HnH's stat/quality mechanics basically meant the quantity of resources you had translated directly into power, so botting/multi-boxing was very rewarding in HnH.

ARK seems like it is going to be a lot smaller scale that ToL. What I find pretty interesting about ToL is the single server which will hopefully lead to a pretty broad player base. Also, the goons freaking about poo poo slinging in the ARK thread is kind of saddening.

But i do love these kind of games.. I just picked it up and played for a little. The first thing I noticed is that the controls are pretty clunky, so you're right on with that. Graphics are definitely lower tier stuff, but I am finding them sort of endearing as I play more. Lots of spelling errors ("corpes" comes to mind), plus very little documentation about how to actually play. Despite my iffy first impressions it does seem like it has potential - the skill system is interesting, it is fun to punch rocks and watch my martial arts abilities rise, etc I was happy to see a bunch of bases set up around the area I started in with plenty to steal too. I am a sucker for these sandbox games so I will definitely play more, but if you're on the fence, maybe wait for a bit for some things to get ironed out Edit: Also I was impressed that I wasn't immediately slaughtered when coming across other players - the murderer system must work, at least in my experience vermicious fucked around with this message at 03:47 on May 30, 2015 |

This is as good as it gets as far as early trashcess. It's pretty rough and there are bugs. You can log on and start punching down stone henge or start a hog farm down in a swamp within minutes of logging on.
