It's another sandbox Rust-y type game with crafting and gathering. Booooo!

I didn't see anything since the initial pictures got put up, I got into the alpha today.
I installed and played about 5 minutes, then promptly uninstalled.

This is a Rust / Conan Exiles a-like game, maybe shooting for a more MMO scale, but still just another lovely survival crafting game. What a let down.

Good. This is exactly what I wanted it to be. No survival game has been done at the MMO scale except for Life is Feudal and that's grognard city. And I like Rust, but don't like it's community so much and don't like the focus on shooting. Since this is set in the far past, I imagine the fighting will focus more on melee? Perfect.

Too bad I didn't get an alpha invite, though. Did you just have to click the "email me more" button to sign up? Between here and Reddit I've seen so many wasted invites with "played two minutes and uninstalled because I was never actually interested anyway" poo poo

got to try it for a second but a graphic bug is keeping me from actually going past the first 2 minutes. looks pretty polished for something in alpha though (predictably)

I hadn't followed any info for this game after the initial alpha sign up and pictures were put out, but I was mistakenly under the impression that the game might have been something more like a mmo action adventure / rpg thing like for example a mmo Witcher or something. Never really crossed my mind that it was being built towards a Rust / Conan Exiles style of thing.

What you're describing is just an MMORPG and no one plays those anymore except for WoW and FFXIV.

Also WAY less original than what the game actually is.

For what it's worth Amazon has a squidrillionjillionbillion dollars so if anyone can make a Rust-alike worth playing for more than five minutes it's probably them. Of course if you don't like the things in the first place it's probably not going to change your mind so :shrug:

He claimed they should make something unique or interesting and then says he wanted a standard MMORPG. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous that is.

Actually it may have looped around to being unique and interesting by now.

When I go to the page the button isn't there any more. It just says I'm already signed up for the alert. So how would I possibly spam the button? Or is that not what you meant?

If you meant that to get into the alpha you have to be set to receive email alerts, I already knew that and had done it a few days ago.

Is anyone able to share their invite if they aren't going to use it?

I'm fine with it being rustlike so long as it scratches an Ultima itch. Having a few thousand people tool around in a sandbox at any given time is honestly just fine with me so long as they give us some toys for the sandbox. I don't want them to just go 'the content is other players, enjoy.' Darkfall / Mortal / every other sandbox ever did that and the only stuff people ever do with it is kill other players.

For a sandbox game to be successful it needs more than that.

I was in F&F, it was like Life is Feudal, but you couldn't choose where to put your town or terraform or anything creative. However, it was kind of polished and if they've figured out balancing around town protection it might be kind of good. You can protect your town from all damage for some time by selling stuff. The balancing around that seemed totally jacked when I played- one week we couldn't protect it for even an hour no matter how much work we put in, one week we managed to protect for the entire weekend by parking next to oil which sold for insane amounts at the time. It could work itself out, but without the ability to unprotect enemies with fighting it could get really static and boring really quick.

Was it as grindy and grognardy as Life is Feudal? Was the inventory system as lovely?

Looks like I got in as well but the invite skipped my spam folder and went straight to trash somehow, I guess that's a promising sign. I've been dissappointed by every survival game since Don't Starve though, so looking forward to adding this one to the list.

From what I understand, you can get into the alpha by going to the games amazon page and clicking the subscribe to updates button.

The only thing I said is what I expected from the initial pictures they put out for the game, and what the game is which is a lovely sandbox survival game.

What they are offering doesn't interest me so I'm throwing my alpha invite into the trash.

I'm actually reasonably interested. It depends what goes into the game. I don't think its fair to qualify this as just MMO Rust. I don't necessarily think it will be good though, I have no clue. I'd like it to be good though.
