How are the movement controls in the actual game? Island creator feels kind of awkward.

I think it might feel better if holding the jump button would ascend the grapple, just like jump has you swim upwards in games with swimming.

Also I don't like how you have to rightclick twice for a new grapple.

I misunderstood their recruitment section, looks like its links are for new players only.

youve had a bizarre need to be in power ever since you joined SA

from TSW, some other MMO, Albion, Discord, now this, and especially after you stole all the money in Albion, im not interested in playing in a group with you as a leader

Having never played those games, I forgot this was a thing

Whole lot of nothing until last night when randoms started popping up. During the last playtest Sabin set up a discord for guild chat but didnt bother with any sort of vetting process. After all what kind of loser would bother spying on something like this?

In the absence of any real information, why not share fanart for an early access game still in closed alpha?

Latest post was three days ago: https://www.worldsadrift.com/blog/alpha-4-beyond/

quote:

Hello traveller! It�s been a busy month for us here at Bossa Studios. We ran our Alpha 4.0 playtest just over a month ago, and then Alpha 4.1 a couple of weeks ago. In our last blog post, we shared the experiences of some of our testers, in particular one crew�s journey through a storm wall. Those are the kinds of stories we want you to tell through Worlds Adrift � they�re at the heart of why we�re making this game.

We also got a ton of feedback from players � some we expected, and some we didn�t! What definitely took us by surprise was the incredible turnout, and we couldn�t have done it without our longtime alpha testers that have been with us since the very beginning, as well as the new players we brought in this cycle, and everybody in between. So again, big thanks to all of you, from us � especially those of you who faithfully tested the queue under load (and helped us find a nasty bug in the loading screen!).

Alpha 4.1 only ran for a brief 48 hours, but soon we�ll want to run one that lasts for a lot longer; that�ll give us valuable information about how the world behaves after multiple server maintenance events, as well as find out how players play when they�re not incredibly time constrained. A lot of longterm gameplay features are coming soon, and won�t really receive any decent testing if we don�t give you time to experience them properly.

Speaking of which, we�re now working hard to finish adding some key features to the game, in preparation for the fifth round of alpha testing. You�ll be happy to hear sails are coming in, which should considerably change the early game experience. Another feature that just missed the cutoff for Alpha 4 is the revamped multitool � now renamed the gauntlet. We�re generally much happier with how it feels to harvest, salvage, and repair with the gauntlet now, and hopefully you�ll agree.

Next, perhaps the most anticipated feature for months now will make its debut in Alpha 5: the new and revamped shipyard, which allows players to shape their own ship hulls. We�re all really looking forward to all the awesome designs players will come up with to crash the server fill the skies. And finally, a ton of changes in response to your Alpha 4 feedback have been planned, some of which will be a quick enough turnaround to make it into Alpha 5.

That�s all from us this week! Next week Jack will be blogging a bit about male characters � oh yeah, that�s another thing coming in Alpha 5� grapple on, and safe travels.

Bolded the only important bits.

# ¿ Sep 27, 2016 21:05

Jackard: Oct 28, 2007; We Have A Bow And We Wish To Use It

fans are discussing "proper etiquette when encountering unknown vessels"

quote:

MeisterKeen: I think a rule, when approaching any vessel in a friendly way, should be to approach slowly at half power, and at same altitude.
Swift-Sausage: If you do it right, gliders barely lose altitude in flight, combined with a grapple maneuver to launch you into the air you can reach a nearby ship at the same altitude as you.
MeisterKeen: Same altitude means both ships are taking equal risk: no advantage either way
MeisterKeen: Good point on the gliders, though
MeisterKeen: I suppose a respectful distance between two ships would be something barely within glider range. If you see a boarding action coming your way you have plenty of time to react
MeisterKeen: Also! Gliders are a risk for the person doing the gliding: there's a word for a flying target; "skeet"

Hoophy: Quick question, is the Armada open to trade?
Vick_Viper89: the armada is open to lucrative offers yeah
Vick_Viper89: ultimately its up to the admiral but we will listen
Hoophy: Also, will you allow a ship to approach to gauge its intentions, or do you fire on sight?
Vick_Viper89: Thats the one thing ill never do and its part of armada operating procedures to follow suit
Hoophy: Which one? The allowing or the firing?
Vick_Viper89: you cant create memories by simply firing on others with no reason, then it simply becomes an arena and thats not what we want

The devs aren't smart enough to add officer ranks or anything, only the alliance leader can invite. Atm that is the OP, Alexander DeLarge.

What's your hurry anyways? The game is nowhere near release.

Blah blah they launching in Q1 2017

quote:

On the subject of the Alpha playtests, you will be pleased to know the next one is imminent and this will be the biggest one to date yet. We will also be testing out some very significant features in the game that take us much closer to the version we will be releasing. Some of the things we have added to this build are:

Knowledge � Islands now have ancient Saborian databanks scattered around. Scan these for Knowledge, which you can use to specialise your character in the Knowledge tree tab of your character sheet.

Customization � The new Shipyard makes its debut! Build your custom ship frame exactly how you want: tall and skinny or wide and flat, small and sleek or big and bulky, it�s all up to you

Loot � Islands now contain lootable containers, where ancient schematics are now found.

Pistols � The crossbow has been replaced by the pistol, which should be easier to aim with.

Combat � ranged combat has had a complete overhaul, and rebalance, so ship combat will involve lots of cannons, and big ship fights.

Men � Many of you have been asking for this feature for a long time. Well, it�s finally here. You can now play as a gentleman of the skies.

Sails � Sails are now craftable and attachable to decks. A ship now only technically needs a core and a sail to fly, though it�s probably still a good idea to add a reviver. Pay attention to the direction of the wind!
