A survival PvP thing with melee combat that isn't just waving sticks at each others body until someone dies would be cool.

Thus ends my hopes and dreams for this game, I'm at least willing to give it a chance to be more though.


Also the idea that the C4/base destruction equivalent is just a flaming arrow and some cow poo poo amphorae is hilarious to me.

It'd be nice if it also ran reliably on systems that should be able to run it, instead of being a complete roll of the dice whether it plays nice with your computer.

B2P with no sub, but it's a survive-em-up so it'll be discrete 30-100 or whatever person servers, it's not an MMO infrastructure thing. Same thing as Ark, DayZ or any of the nine trillion others.

Actually went and watched the other two streams they did, I feel that itch to play lovely survival games like a dumb idiot again, so gently caress me.

My main hope is that making an actual combat system will mean PvP is a meaningful affair instead of the weird scrabbling, jumping, ducking and weaving lag affair survival game combat tends to be.

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.

Someone post when server 12 works again please.

I wouldn't worry about it. Turns out though stone weapons are "of insufficient quality" you can punch buildings apart just fine.

E: Also it turns out you can get up onto at least part of that bridge just by walking, we should probably fortify that when they fix building health.

I hear if you press pause on the keyboard it pauses the server, that's pretty impressive on the "how did this make it to launch?" scale of gently caress-ups.

Can confirm.

Is there a way to change gods, say from Crom to Zog?

There are NPCs that teach the base religion schema, and you can have them all at once.

Would you by chance know where the Zog guy is?

I know we found him near our inital base in the southwest, couldn't tell you more than that.

Thanks man, if you have any rough estimates of where it would be awesome

Our original base was

If the day ever comes that goons aren't all of the server and there's a decent enemy force to oppose, that's probably exactly what'll happen.

how cool would it be if this game had a persistent new vegas style reputation system that applied to your clan. Fully fledged NPC cities based around some strategic resources and you can either be their homie and trade peacefully with them or use them for cattle. would give PVP factions something to fight over which is always a problem in these games.

That is the eventual intent. They've specifically talked about NPC factions remembering your actions towards them.

Hmm, is there any way to build freestanding walls without putting a foundation down? I'd like to wall off my base, but I'm starting to get the impression I can only do so by making a billion foundations.

Fence Foundations.

Known bug, supposedly fixed with yesterdays patches, just after the server went down and erased it all.

I like building things and i like dongs, is this game good?

Yes on both counts. It's probably a better building game in SP with turned up rates to ignore the survival part though.
