this is what i was expressing concern about, i dont actually know anything about computers or how they work though

basically, you write down words like the bolded ones below enough and people give you money. then the benny hill song plays while the you waste all the money on bad decisions and coke. lots of cocaine

Also worth mentioning, nerds, is that this game is working with some really cool new tech that (from my super limited understanding) uses "swarms" processors to focus on creating a seamless, highly-scaleable (compared to other mmos), single-server setup that basically runs all the physics and game calculations on the server-side, leaving the player's computer to focus on simply rendering what's already there. It sounds a lot like physics-based EVE Online.

http://www.pcgamer.com/a-probable-future-for-the-mmo-worlds-adrift-and-improbable-tech/

This new tech is really exciting because it's basically debuting for the first time in Worlds Adrift. You can see this in that 45 minute video from December, wherin pieces of the broken up ship were being simulated with a very fine degree of accuracy even while the player was looking at them from like a mile away. Additionally, supposedly nothing despawns, it just kind of hangs around, which is pretty crazy if you consider how much junk players are going to generate.

In that video the devs also mention wanting this game to basically be a huge middle finger to traditional mmos, in that they simply do away with a lot of those traditional systems in favor of giving their crazy powerful physics simulation a starring role. Case in point - you can drop stuff on other players' airships to cause them to fall to the ground, you can grapple onto moving cannonballs to launch yourself, and parts of your ship will physically roll of the side of the islands unless you place them on your ship.

I don't know how successful this game will be, but putting my two cents in now, I think a lot of the design philosophy and execution so far has been really exciting. I can't wait to see where this thing goes.

i too, cant wait to see where this goes :allears:

I mean it sounds like you are playing an online game and also hoping to avoid interpersonal drama.

It's like picking up a book and saying you don't like reading.

i think there's a difference between goons shouting at each other and trusting a previous guild thief not to steal again

i dont know much about this game, but suddenly im looking at the title of this thread and thinking

Surgeon Sim > I am Bread > MMO is quite the genre changeup. were they always planning on making an mmo and just needed the funds? oh and can anyone point me to the kickstarter

Yeah is it really that big though? Most of the actual space in the game looks like empty air to fly ships through. Then they have some random gen islands...

i didnt buy any of these games but blade and soul. maybe youre right forge. maybe THIS TIME when the masses quit because full loot pvp is too much the devs wont do the same thing every other sandbox dev studio has and walk back all the risky pvp. BUY TODAY!!!!!

Yeah sure I guess I could fall to my death countless times.

First though, what's bad about it at the moment and what's unfinished?

as far ive seen, its not that it's unfinished. just a lack of content. the main gameplay arcs are there

when i played the free version, i immediately recongnized the paneling system as interesting. im not a networkologist but uhhh how do you have ~30 panels with uniquely placed graphic effects + whatever physics they have x (~20 ships in a fight + all the players involved) and not burn down a server rack

it used to be a viable strategy in games like rust, h1z1 and etc base building games to fill gigantic bases with the most laggy objects possible and just have a better pc to win. i expect the same here, but giant lagships

Yep US(West) pretty much unplayable too. Will have to wait for an Australia server I guess.

This is the first game I have ever played that I could not play from Australia. Alpha/Beta/Retail.

That's some bad netcode

its mostly unplayable if you live in the data center so dont worry too much

I bought this silly game, logged in, immediately spotted a complete dinghy docked at a nearby unclaimed shipyard. Claimed the shipyard, tossed the spawner that was on the ship off to the ground, made my own, and sailed off to the sunset. 10/10

Applied to the Alliance as Crazyeyes. What should I do to start? Just speed around to every island I see trying to find those knowledge data cores?

do that and also, kill people along the way imo
