Arven posted:What is it between this and M&B with people returning the game while explicitly stating they're going to buy it again later? Why? Just keep it and play it when it works, JFC.

What little I was able to play was a blast, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on their progress over the next week. First game I ever saw that had this was everquest back in 1999 - they dropped it a couple years later but it was weird-but-cool for its time

Ad by Khad posted:It'll probably go on sale later, allowing a person who refunded to get it back for less The early access price is a discounted price. You'd have to wait for a while after release to get it on sale, let alone at a discount lower than the current one. Assuming the game both makes it to release and doesn't quickly get shunted into maintenance mode, of course. Wouldn't be the first promising early access game to do either of those things, nor the first such game for this developer.

Some people do wait a while, and some developers don't wait a while. Atlas was 50% off not even 3 months after hitting steam, and 75% off a few months after that (and then only 20% off for season 3, they went back and forth) I hope for my goon friends' sakes this game turns out a hell of a lot better than Atlas did, I'm just using the example

The game is really, really fun, so I don't care enough about refunding the game for 1 week and then buying it again when it is $5 more expensive. I'll be playing it again on launch anyways. I also don't really care that much if we have a wipe or not. We had a lot of people in our clan who could still play during that time and they farmed up a lot of gear and resources, so we would be at an advantage if they didn't wipe.

either there's a wipe and we'll just stomp the EU zone we spawn in again or there's no wipe and we're 1-2 days from building a proxy walker

So despite the godawful launch I still think some credit is warranted to us goons for telling the devs to hold off on the release and make the game/balance better first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjK3UYhOp20&t=112s

Adadad posted:So when do we get to finally defeat the log in boss and go back to farming cattails anyway? Hopefully soon. They brought the servers back online for 2-3 hours yesterday for the old beta testers to flock into them and stress them out. They were having us test things that hit a purposefully weak, over-stressed backend, so they could evaluate how their fixes were handling things. They also had a Hard map online and I ran around it. I did not expect to see absolutely no giant cactus trees on the map. There was also hardly any normal cactuses. It seems that water on that map will mainly be resourced by purifying the contaminated lake waters and smashing aloe and fruits. Plus you will need to go back to the Medium map to get the huge cactus fruits to make potions.

Tablets aren't too bad. It is 100 fragments per tablet, so that's about 4 or so ruins to loot. Hard maps have lots of the 20 and 30 fragment ruins around so a clan farming a tile should be able to grab a bunch of fragments. It only takes 5 minutes to craft a stack of 20 tablets too at the ruin on the map. Solo players and small groups are also able to find single use crafting ruins around to map, so they won't be entirely cut out. Plus it is very possible that people may throw up extra tablets on the trading station (although it's too early to tell) since you have to collect tablets of the same design.

The 10% of harvested materials that a clan with ownership of the map gets, does that include fragments?

Given the wording I would assume it only applies to things with a "gather" prompt, so no, but who knows. Announced a stress test at 11am PDT then plans to bring things back online sunday if everything works. Fingers crossed.

And the OP says 20% of materials, if it's still accurate. It shouldn't take much activity before that really adds up. The trader stations give them 10%, but presumably in the local currency, so 10% more fleas.

Donnerberg posted:And the OP says 20% of materials, if it's still accurate. It shouldn't take much activity before that really adds up. Correct. If you own the zone, 10% of the flots that go through the trade station are sent to your clan. If a pubbie cuts down a tree, the game spawns an additional 20% resource bonus and throws it into the proxy walker.

Heads up. Double clicking a high quality material to store it quickly will cause it to merge with lesser quality materials already in storage.

Hey guys stress test our game before we re-launch and start over. Hmmm this is going alright this is the launch now have fun! Also the ability to delete your character is disabled sure hope you didn’t do anything to gently caress around because it was a wipe anyway! Genius poo poo! I am mildly annoyed by it but man there are too to be so many angry freaks screaming at them.

The Chinese came at us EU folk in the dark of night. Half our crew was asleep, it was four of us against thirty-odd of them. They took our base and ships, forced us to run away and punch cactuses to avoid dying of thirst. But they didn’t master the grappling hook. We came back and fought a grueling 5 hour guerilla war, slowly taking their gear and hiding it atop cliffs or rocks. I went from 70 kills to 160, and I was in charge of the respawning walkers half the time. We took their base, destroyed everything, emptied their chests, demolished their walkers, and built a stiletto with their materials and fragments. One of my friends is an absolute god with the grappling hook and one time swung from tree to tree while smashing multiple chinese zerglings between swings. What a fantastic loving game. I’m exhausted but when I wake up I’m jumping right back in.

Unlocked almost all the stuff from the tree that just require fragments and back at where I was before the game went down a week ago. It's a fun game when pvp happens but I am a bit burnt out with going so hard and the wipe and everything. Do we know when they are putting the hard zones live?

As I understand it, they are trying to maintain the servers were stabilized, before moving on to other things. I'm guessing it will be a week at least, probably with the next improvement patch.

Did anyone get a recording of that huge battle earlier? The battles in this game are nuts. The center of the fight was a harpooned walker hanging over the side of a cliff with us fighting the crew on the deck.
