Doesn't 53 square KM seem pretty big for only 100 players? I dunno I haven't played many of the survival games that are hosted like this.

The island map from ARK is 36, 48 if you count the ocean.

The center map is around 70.

The last stream made me real unsure about this. The combat was totally hosed and NPCs were nearly non-functional. I'll probably still buy it because my lust for low effort griefing had been rekindled and I'm stupid, but I'm still worried.

I figured there was a reason every single one of their trailers showed the combat in slow motion.

Has anyone actually looked at the OP's website? Fuckin lmao.

"We aren’t a Goon group per se. Most our founders and members are Goons, but SA has gone to poo poo and we disagree with the culture it now has, so we are now more a group of dicks looking for other dicks. Our big thing is that we generally hate most Goons (Especially spergy whiney ones who care too much about social issues and being “nice”.) and value real free speech. No safe spaces up in this bitch. All we do is shitpost and talk bad about everyone. Also, occasionally we kill mans."

Hi I'm a lazy garbage person who hasn't read the thread so I'm sorry if this has been discussed, even on this page. Does the "preparing character" screen take a long time? Like, ten minutes+? The little loading bar is still doing its animation but I don't know if the game is stuck or what. First time I'm loading it up.

Check Task Manager and/or restart your client

Man, rushing into some building complex two pubs spent too long making, with a steel sword was amazingly fun.

- First, kill said pubbies. Repeat until they have emptied their coffers and are coming at you naked.
- Run into the building and destroy the beds while said pubs can only watch.
- Kill them one last time while shouting "enjoy the run"
-Smash everything they have

It's been a long time since being this much of a dick felt this good.

Is all the crafting in the game so ridiculously slow? I have the speed at 10x and it takes like 10 minutes to craft a course chest piece.

Yes, because you have set crafting ten times longer.

I gave up on this game, I'll be back when a server can have at least a day or two of uptime and gives invul to logged out players if the server has to reboot :/

Keep an eye out for unofficial servers with the setting "Characters are does not stay in the game when log"

So do shields feel useless for anyone else? The only use I can find for them right now is "Tanking" things while a buddy hacks at them from behind. In any other situation it seems like a 2 hander is better.

The GSF server "Mittani's Wasteland" is vanilla. We don't want 1000s of abandoned bases and scrubs. Work for your base damnit. We are three days old, and we already have had 6 pubbie refugees join from other servers with like 5x that are just ridiculous. It should be a wasteland where you have to scratch and hoard to survive, not an iron city every 20 feet.

Alunan posted:

Ah I had forgotten how ADD this community was. Thanks for reminding me.

Okay

so

if your low-pop server is vanilla everything

why would anyone join it over an official?

Because A) it really isn't that low pop, he joined it at a moment only 3 or 4 people happened to be on.

"Twenties and under" is low-pop for survival games. I'll grant you B through D, but those can be done better on a non-vanilla server. D doesn't even exist on 'no-sleeper' servers!

Frankly, your server combines all the drawbacks of officials (poo poo settings, poo poo support) and unofficials (poo poo pop) into one poo poo package.

I'm sure it would to the guy who wants to "harvest tears" which is the dumbest and most dysfunctional phrase that ever gets uttered in these dumb and dysfunctional forums

The funniest part is how their circlejerk keeps whining about other servers despite the obvious differences in playstyle, they don't really want those players anyways

You can have one singleplayer save at a time. I think you can host that save, but not sure. Googled this:

I never strutted or even said anything...I wasn't playing with you all when the server died. And I did have proof...the admins that were abusing admitting it themselves. Measly admitted he spawned in resources for the huge base, and Cynthia admitted she was farming while invisible. Other times admins were using admin abilities to see where players were when not doing admin poo poo. So uh, who is making poo poo up here?

So if you knew this, why give them a second chance?
