the-tavern

[junior fox]

sry i dont care as much about sitting on chairs and having pets, i felt like enshrouded was slightly under the mark content wise for a 40$+ game

[pliant quarry]

Portal Knights before this one

Probably the most well known one that Keen made

[wraith umbra]

Is this about enshrouded? Those things are on the roadmap...

[lethal rune]

so pknights got more than 2 million users?

[carmine scroll]

it was 30 dollars.

[junior fox]

cad 40

[carmine scroll]

i love portal knights but i wish they had balanced out the classes more. >_>

[quiet geyser]

Is this game on Unreal Engine or your own engine or both?

[lethal rune]

their own engine called holistic

[tepid ivy]

U all sitting in Frankfurt, Germany? Or did the studio move in any ways?

[pliant quarry]

Portal Knights was developed for a loooong time, I think the last public number was 3.5 million copies?

This game has, so far, been much more successful though. We've sold a lot of copies in such a short time for an early access release from a studio like ours.

[drifting egret]

Yeah that's true. I'm just trying to say with the amount of work modders dedicate in to improving a game, imagine what they can with the ability to craft there own game.

[pliant quarry]

Studio is based in Frankfurt but a lot of us are remote, including me I'm in the US.

[full sequoia]

what you don't care about might make the immersion for someone else 🙂 they were just sharing what they have upcoming in the near future, and the things you mentioned are part of that, who knows which update order things will be in. I personally like the way they set up the roadmap, i prefer not having dates on things and then being disappointed when they rush the feature out because they're on a deadline

[carmine scroll]

i love how cutesy portal knights is. 🙂

[tepid ivy]

Thx for ur answers, keep up the good work with the game 🙂

[lethal rune]

depends if you like building, if you do, then it was enough, if you don't build a lot, then yeah when the rest of the map unlocks it will represent 40$ and then some.

[carmine scroll]

I will forever cry over the abandonment of portal knights 2. the trailer looked soooooo gooood.......

[quiet geyser]

Me and my brother hope they add pets and farming options and animal farming the next update.

[junior fox]

yea but dude we neede 27.5 angles to like building

[pliant quarry]

We are effectively not in control of PK anymore to my knowledge, it was not published by us. But I wasn't around during that period so I don't honestly know all the details.

[elder parrot]

• A roadmap can never have exactly erryones personal wishes,
  But as far as roadmaps go,
  This one shows both good plans and how they picked up on an unusual amount of players wishes imo.
  Its a really good roadmap.

[proven gorge]

As much as I've been enjoying Valheim while I wait for updates, Enshrouded's building capabilities blow it out of the water in so many ways that I've been considering playing some more just to make interesting builds in it

[lethal rune]

so in enshrouded when you wear knight armor, and you go through a portal, you're basically a portal knight 😄 (i see what you guys did there)

[carmine scroll]

ya thats a shame. the game needed a few minor tweaks but its still a great game. i love it so much

[nocturne gulch]

does anyone knows what is instance Dungeon?

[junior fox]

pets would be nice but i doubt they can do better than valheim and even valheim was kinda cringe with 2-3 wolves stack on top of each other, the fact they could disapear in the taming process, etc...

[warped basalt]

I mean, considering only 30% of the world map was released on initial EA there is still plenty to come.

[proven gorge]

It's usually a term used for any dungeon that is in a different 'level' from the open world. Usually separated by a loading screen. Think of Skyrim caves and stuff like that, which do not connect to the open world per se

[pliant quarry]

That's something we definitely intend to add over time as part of the whole "more blocks" thing we have on the roadmap :)

[wraith umbra]

bluefire is just being a very obvious troll y'all, you can feed him if you want, just give him the spicy cheetos

[pliant quarry]

I mean idk about 27.5 specifically, but more blocks of different shapes I mean

[drifting egret]

Yeah the building is what drew me to Enshrouded. Combat is also good since I enjoy Souls Like action.

[junior fox]

oh thank you! honestly 27.5 angles are a must IMO i didnt think <<more blocks>> was part of it

[lethal parrot]

What will the rewards be from instanced dungeons?

[civic cedar]

Id elaborate a bit and say typically I means you and a separate player can each do the dungeon without affecting each other. They will probably allow the option to do it together or separately

[lethal rune]

someone was saying angled walls arent possible, because voxel is on a vertical/horizontal grid, but i think from what i understand of programming its still possible, will this be possible for enshrouded? or you can't definitively say right now?

[last crescent]

just triangle blocks alone makes a huge difference

or the ability to rotate them like we do on furniture

[warped basalt]

@pliant quarry speaking of 30% of the map on release, I know we have large sections incoming at some point, can you give us any estimations for what kind of map chunk sizes we might be looking at for upcoming updates?

[civic cedar]

It doesn't make sense to not be possible because "arches" already reshape based on configuration. They could add a feature to shape based on angles, or a "shaping" tool to toggle angles on certain blocks. Etc.

[pliant quarry]

Kinda two things being talked about at once there. Going off grid or rotating the grid itself is not possible. For example taking existing blocks and you, as a player, rotating the whole build 45 degrees.

But adding blocks of different shapes can achieve the same effect and is definitely possible. Kinda like the existing roof blocks we have that are 45 degree angles. Would be totally possible to add walls of the same type.

The grid itself is effectively untouched, but half the block is basically transparent/non-existent within the grid if that makes sense.

[nocturne gulch]

they could implement more perks/spells, specially for warriors. jumping and hitting the ground every time feels awkward.]

[quiet geyser]

Where is there a portal in this game?

[lethal rune]

okay that's what i thought, so we can have a wall that turns 45 degrees from another wall etc. (just not whole structures)

i wonder if there will be a blueprint system

like save a whole build in a blueprint, then place it down and add mats to it, to build it later, maybe in another world.

[trim marten]

the future!

[echo dirge]

Not sure if anyone else has Run into this but : I Defeated the Pike boss, there was 0 loot. Now is this a glitch and i have to defeat the boss again to get the key? the quest completed so am i totally out of luck at this point?? This is referring o the FELL WISPyvern

[pliant quarry]

Good example of what I'm talking about is like the "half blocks" in Minecraft, or the stairs.

Those are still actually "square" blocks, but chunks of the block are invisible and have no collision. So using that trick you can keep the square grid, but create shapes that aren't confined to it. Like our roof blocks.

[trim marten]

SMALLER VOXELS?????

[pliant quarry]

I mean probably not it's unlikely the grid or its size will change lol

[flint ginkgo]

Hey Toast, can I DM you rq?

[tepid ivy]

Missing the key from the dragon boss?

[lethal rune]

the portals are the flames, they teleport the player or fascilitate teleportation, but yeah not the typical portal by design.

[drifting egret]

Would be cool to see level cap raised and more for the skill tree. Am I the only one who feels the Assassin is lacking? D:

[last crescent]

yes a glitch, you can kill again, key always drops

[tepid ivy]

Well, there is nobody to assassinate so far i guess 😄

[elder parrot]

Stair blocks are also 'fake' in that fashion ^^
In my old servers resourcepack i used free less used block variations to have grass half-blocks and 'stair blocks' ^^

[lethal rune]

chisel from minecraft would still be possible here, based on the half block principle you said, but yeah i don't see a whole chisel system being developed, seems like a lot of work.

[echo dirge]

All the loot was not there. it was empty. Im trying to see if the ring and key and head will show up again or im shit out of luck at this point.

[wraith umbra]

I think it's time to stop making voxel games and start making atom games

[quasi saffron]

Atomic revolution!

[echo ledge]

Boss will respawn after 30 minutes, you can also quit to menu and restart to fight it again immediately

[lethal rune]

i could see a big push for blueprints though, for example valheim has a blueprint mod, and it works that you can save a whole build, paste it down in a new world, and add materials to it to construct it. as well blueprint system is basically the foundation of games like space engineers. you build ships/rovers/vehicles and then save them.

[worthy cave]

the road map is badass, that being said the road map is stuff that is planned for the remainder of 2024 where they periodically add things correct?

[pliant quarry]

Yeah a lot of voxel games do this, it's a very elegant solution. From the Depths and Avorion are two games I've played that do the same thing.

And you can make very complex smooth shapes in those games

But it's still all squares

[winter mason]

Love the roadmap and communication.

[tepid ivy]

What Saito said...

If ur next kill doesn t "fix" this problem, i could trade u the key and the head. 🙂

[lethal rune]

when toast is mad, name should change to burnt toast 😆

[elder parrot]

Thats when he has dealt with us a whole day

When angry its first Burning toast

[arctic glacier]

This is how i interpreted it. It says 2024 with the sections "the next few updates" and "later this year"

[drifting egret]

Jam, peanut butter, or Nutella toast

[lethal rune]

i hope its not too big of a roadmap for 2024

[quasi saffron]

Toasty consequences.

[elder parrot]

Jam for meatballs, peanut butter for chicken. Nutella for candies. None for a sandwhich! ^^

[lethal rune]

it looks ambitious, but maybe i am used to game dev for 10 man teams, 50 should do things at least twice as fast.

[elder parrot]

It doesnt all have to happen in 2024

[tepid ivy]

On STEAM they stated..... THIS MONTH

[elder parrot]

Its more of a 'if things dont happen we hope 2024'

[tepid ivy]

Not for all updates but they did post that ^^

[quasi saffron]

Bigger Teams do not necessarily mean faster output. Otherwise we'd get Triple A games every year.

[drifting egret]

Doesn't matter when imo they just need to implement it with no bugs lol

[noble anchor]

The next major update will be this month. We don't know which items on the roadmap will be making an appearance in that update.

[lethal rune]

i hope it does, but if one or two things get postponed, i'd be okay with that, but it's good for them to push to get it done, it's the right attitude to be proactive that way.

[elder parrot]

(Real big teams means money-suits get involved and will want live service and mtx to get huge returns ^^)

[tepid ivy]

Thats a statement i can live with XD

[quiet geyser]

Hello, 19 march is an update and end march / begin april right?

[noble anchor]

We have no dates.

[quasi saffron]

Theres only one update. End of this month

[quiet geyser]

Ok, exciting, thanks

[elder parrot]

What about raisins or strawberries? Not in the mood for dates erry day anyways ^^

[noble anchor]

Turkish figs suffice?

[carmine scroll]

we have dried purple berries and strawberries already.

[elder parrot]

Deal! ^^

[noble anchor]

Personally I'm a bit torn on an update this month with still trying to get through VII Rebirth and DD2 coming out in the 22nd.

Too much all at once.

[last crescent]

thats a nice problem to have

[noble anchor]

Yeah, if only there were more hours in a day... Or less days I spend 8 hours not playing.

[quasi saffron]

Play these games first and Enshrouded later. It won't run away.

[noble anchor]

But my friends might want to hop in and play the new stuff.

[quasi saffron]

And it'll increase enjoyment.

[noble anchor]

And since I maintain the server...

[elder parrot]

I will try the pax dei alpha, are interested in outcast remake and are replaying elden ring with world changes atm.

Oh and i also are building another adventure map on TU i should finish ^^

[quasi saffron]

Shut it down. Let em pay.

[carmine scroll]

id skip DD2 personally.
FFVI rebirth when?
the good games never get remade.....

[open dragon]

Yeah the wording leads to believe everything on the top this month and everything that says later this year, would be later this year. so also, not really a traditional road map that just says what and when things are coming out. It's just a list. Most people I know just want more world to explore and some rebalance on some of the combat.

[elder parrot]

Giving dates are risky and scary

[noble anchor]

I was a huge fan of DD1. I put over a thousand hours into it. I'm not missing DD2.

[elder parrot]

So im glad they dont give dates for updates ^^

[last crescent]

i'd be happy with logging in and not crashing in my base 😅

[quasi saffron]

They just didn't state the obvious. Which means adding content. Biomes update are already pointed at.

[carmine scroll]

lol i tried VERY HARD to like it but it just kept pissing me off.
a shame cause it had actual good boss battles.

[noble anchor]

Being pissed off at it was part of the allure, much like a Souls game, but everyone has different tastes.

[carmine scroll]

the main issue was the pawns just being completely useless for me. but that wasnt the only thing.
that bandit leader had no balance to his mooks.

[last crescent]

i dont think they can give dates on the updates, they said the road map will most likely change over time

[elder parrot]

Issue i have with trying DD1 on pc, is that it doesnt work normally with my ps1 dualshock - it mixes vertical and horizontal =/

[noble anchor]

With enough time in the game you learn to deal with those things.

[ocean anvil]

The road say next few updates at the top, doesn't say this month, Keen said there's a content patch coming at the end of the month.

[noble anchor]

But to each thine own.

[elder parrot]

So i use a gamepad emulator to remap, but that makes DD1 find both original and emulated gamepad at the same time =/

[drifting egret]

I'm on my first playthrough of DD Dark Arisen hard mode and I really wish there is a dodge mechanic lol but I'm loving the game so far

[carmine scroll]

ya its okay. i got better games to play now. like portal knights and enshrouded.

[noble anchor]

It's definitely fun, but dodge? What is dodge? I play Magick Archer. Things die before I need to dodge.

[elder parrot]

Dodge is for the scared and poiseless, in elden ring i am a strong woman that shields and counters! Grr ^^ (dunno how it works in dd tho)

[drifting egret]

Lol I like to play with daggers and get really up close and personal 😆

[wraith umbra]

So the roadmap is out, does it talk about Enshrouded 2 at all?

[elder parrot]

I liked 3 better

[elder parrot]

2 pandered too much to twiggers, ruined the game. Mitä paska!

[carmine scroll]

okay. hot question. are we ever getting drills like in portal knights?

[drifting egret]

I like the shields too but sometimes I get stabby lol

[elder parrot]

Drills like on a flute, or by an army sergeant, or mining euipment, or in case of fires practice? ^^

[carmine scroll]

mining equipment for speedy tunneling

[elder parrot]

Made the most sense lol

[last crescent]

if its in base, i just use the build hammer and select terrain and right click to remove faster than pick

[lament trout]

maybe dynamite boomstick that hollows out very large areas? 😄

[elder parrot]

I could do with strong nail extensions for speedy digging ^^

[carmine scroll]

something for traversing. cliffs

[trim marten]

'grappling hook' that can be used anywhere!

[simple dirge]

I saw a r/enshrouded post last night about the incoming roadmap and I thought that meant they were adding roads to the map

[carmine scroll]

i assume you cant really do the minecrsft block tower like in portal knights?

[drifting egret]

Yes please! Be more like Spiderman

[lament trout]

[obsidian gust]

I've seen the roadmap and god why am I so excited for Townsfolk npcs, pets, animal farming and music instruments? also omg portals to other servers? THAT'S SO COOL

[worthy cave]

townfolk will be the best thing ever - can really make a living breathing rp environment

[carmine scroll]

portals to other servers? what that do?

[trim marten]

ability to visit other's builds without all the file BS

[carmine scroll]

??

[obsidian gust]

That's what I was excited about, I love building in this game, but I couldn't focus on building large structures because empty cities felt strange to me

[worthy cave]

100000000% this

i will no life this game if they let me build worlds with livable npcs that do stuff

[carmine scroll]

is there a way to perfectly space out maxed out flame alters with minimal overlap?

[obsidian gust]

I swear, depending on how they implement townsfolk npcs, the sims will be put to dust

[carmine scroll]

i doubt it will be That fancy

[obsidian gust]

Ik they won't make relationship systems & other stuff, if they do, it'd be fun, but the point is, if there is adults & children that share a house, it'd be enough to RP families and such

[astral hull]

You’ll still have a lot of sims players as the sims is more of a contemporary life sim rather than a medieval or fantasy one

[obsidian gust]

You aren't wrong, I was just voicing my personal opinion, I like the vibe of an RPG that's also a survival-ish game with complex building systems and is RP-able with NPCs and other players

[mellow dawn]

Anyone else have the issue when playing with the HUD off and you die, you cant get back to the loading screen? You get stuck dead with the HUD off... Hope this gets fixed in the next update

[trim marten]

Enshrouded will change though.....a peaceful build mode, townfolk, player made instances.....

[broken acorn]

I just saw the new roadmap but I don't see new missions or increased lv cap, umm too bad 😦 we need more content, less than 2 weeks and we reached the cap.

[pastel oyster]

you can report bugs via the in-game menu by hitting escape or f1 and clicking on "Report a bug" -this is the only way to be sure that the devs se the bug report so that it can be fixed.

[trim marten]

I already use this game to make ASMRs (with mind control as an Embervale court ruled today)

[peak garnet]

any idea what the Hollow Halls Dungeons mentioned in the road map are?

[drifting egret]

Major update coming at the end of this month so fingers 🤞 we see a level cap increase

[trim marten]

'Hollow Halls Dungeons' aka....marketing: 'rename the dungeons to sound better' or something different?

[astral hull]

Did they mention the instances would be player made?

[trim marten]

I thought they did....

[astral hull]

I’ve been absent all morning

[pastel oyster]

nuuu they didn't lol

[obsidian gust]

I'd think they'll not do that for a while unless the "new bosses" thing imply higher level content, they are more likely to do a full release before releasing new higher level content in bits -imo

[astral hull]

I would assume the new zones, new bosses and new baddies would be in higher level zones imo

[blissful basin]

i hope we get a friendkly vukah townsfolk npc

[astral hull]

Currently each zone progresses through levels. A new zone would progress through a new set of levels if it was to remain the same format.

[obsidian gust]

if they are, I'm all for it, new content is always welcome, I imagine there is some areas within the ea area that are inaccessible by default? or do we get access to everything with a pickaxe?

[blissful basin]

theres areas it tells u "ea ends here"

[autumn flicker]

I hope “multiple npc instances” means town npcs 😍

[obsidian gust]

I'm sorry, I meant within the 1/3 ea area, like the pit south from the capital

[pastel oyster]

it means being able to summon the craftspeople more than once.

[drifting egret]

FYI don't go past the red walls

[blissful basin]

uhmmmm im not sure, then

[ocean anvil]

@blissful basin the count down timer lets you know

[astral hull]

I think “townsfolk npcs” means town npcs

[last crescent]

what happens? ive always been too scared to let the timer run out 🤣

[pastel oyster]

Town NPC's is "Townsfolk NPC's" on the roadmap

[autumn flicker]

Ahh

[ocean anvil]

towns folk will be more crafter types for game mechainics like taming and such

[obsidian gust]

there's another section that mentions specifically multiple instance of npcs, which must mean ccrafter npcs

[blissful basin]

was it confirmed they live in the world or are they going in our base ?

[astral hull]

Yes I think that refers to multiple of the current followers we have

[plain scroll]

@signal ocean Will the signs be mountable on the wall? I wanna use them for the seedbeds.

[autumn flicker]

I’d like generic npc villagers to populate the place

[pastel oyster]

I am about 90% sure that was confirmed by a blue name but I am too lazy to look it up in the history right now

[trim marten]

I'm hoping for neon....as well as just wooden signs....

[astral hull]

Shroud sign

[pastel oyster]

it was in this channel though

[last crescent]

i had that problem, then i moved the seedbeds next to each farm type

[trim marten]

any chance we can IMPORT JPEGS or GIFs into the game? That would be cool! Dual Universe let us do this

[ocean anvil]

@trim marten this is not rust

[pastel oyster]

It's more than likely that CUB has gone home for the evening - it's almost 8pm there I think

[blissful basin]

im torn on whether or not i should move my base to a prettier, bigger area to start making a proper village

[trim marten]

no, but imported pics would really add to the game, we could make our own textures

[drifting egret]

You just get teleported back to your last fire urn

[autumn flicker]

I think you’re right. Townsfolk npcs screams generic npcs for population so I’m happy

[last crescent]

oh thats not too bad, i buried myself by accident once and was ported to the cinder vault

[autumn flicker]

Ngl this roadmap addresses everything I wanted for the game

[ocean anvil]

you go to the last alter you have clicked on / interact with

[pastel oyster]

I meant that the multiple NPC's (as more than one crafter) was confirmed by a blue name (the 90% sure)

[blissful basin]

i hope the townsfolk are for our base

[trim marten]

a lot...anyways!

[ocean anvil]

towns folk means more crafters

[pastel oyster]

Louder, so the people in the back can hear you.

[obsidian gust]

I was searching for your first message on that matter, couldn't find it
I believe they are for our base because the world outside is seemingly devoid of healthy humans

It'd be cool to find some places where you could save some survivors from the world around, although very unlikely...

[autumn flicker]

Npcs, animal husbandry, usable furniture, events and enemy patrols, new dungeons biomes and bosses, water and like a million other things. This is gonna be epic !

[autumn flicker]

I heard someone on Reddit say lore wise it would make sense because the flame born is supposed to rekindle the world

[obsidian gust]

On the water matter, I've just read that, and I remember some programmers and the game staff say themselves water was unlikely to come because it's a voxel world game and water is very hard to implement in there, they also said it's their own engine... I'm very positively surprised that they confirmed it's gonna happen now

[autumn flicker]

Only thing I could think missing that I’d love but probably missed and it’s there is transmog. I just wanna use the mercenary armor forever lol

[plain scroll]

I figured but can't hurt to tag him if he sees it in the morning

[tepid ivy]

Confirmed? It is the last post an the roadmap....

They try, not more... not less...

[obsidian gust]

also world events are gonna be the best part for me when I'm full build with not other thing to do

[autumn flicker]

I want base raids and guards so bad 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[broken acorn]

@drifting egret@obsidian gust let's hope for a new lv increase at least, I mean so many people bought the game I hope they hired more people to bring more content to the game, which as of now it's pretty small. What's up with early games lately, Nightingale the same 2 weeks and puff game over. 😦 early games in the past lasted way longer tbh.

[obsidian gust]

They did say it's a feature that is coming in the image. So it's planned and they will work on it, no reason to say it's not confirmed. Something being confirmed by the devs does not mean they are halfway done. If they encounter an unsolvable issue during the development, they'll just tell us later.

[astral hull]

That’s what we’re doing to the current followers. The flame initially tells us of the sleeping survivor and we awaken him and bring him back to base. Would be cool if the other npcs have similar quests to unlock them. I believe they will be done that way.

[timid plank]

Im glad water is last on the list, dont know why so many people want that specifically

[astral hull]

Probably other “flameborn” that are awakened via the cauldron/pod thing

[obsidian gust]

I believe they might increase the team, since the EA has been such a success overall, and it did launch very close to Palworld and it did not faulter!

[solar girder]

Hello everyone, I'm so disappointed to see that no one is interested in in-game chat
how do you communicate in the game when voice is impossible?

[minor cloak]

Oh we were buzzing about in-game or proxy chat a few hours ago actually haha

[autumn flicker]

I just discord call with my friends lol

[astral hull]

Discord is what we use to communicate for now

[last crescent]

in game emotes would be nice at least

like /wave /point etc

[timid plank]

Youll just have to use the upcoming base naming feature to chat through the map

[glad meadow]

you are using discord to make this message it is one of the best options for voice chat

[last crescent]

unless u are deaf

not a deaf friendly game, if u wanna play with people

[stoic shale]

I don't know what I feel about a roadmap being released

[solar girder]

Have you seen the question: and when voice is impossible? because that's my case for example, and I'm not the only player in my group
There are 3 of us who have to use discord written on the phone to communicate, it's not at all practical

[obsidian gust]

Some people don't like, don't feel comfortable, or just can't use VC, texting is important in all games that allow online multiplayer, there's nothing wrong with @solar girder 's question

[drifting egret]

I'm sure we'll get lvl increase in due time. I knew that buying this game in EA is a gamble, whether it'd be successful or not. Only time can tell and that's how a lot of live service games are. Nothing is ever guaranteed but thankfully this game has proven success especially like Davi said when it was up against Palworld (releasing around the same time).

[glad meadow]

there is a lot more work they would need to do to make it a deaf friendly game

[astral hull]

The answer remains the same. Discord has text. The game definitely needs in-game chat tho.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone advocate against an in-game chat feature. I think most players want that.

[lament root]

Savan. The roadmap looks wonderful.

[drifting egret]

true, imagine opening a server with random players lol. how would you get anything done

[timid plank]

Chat with signs

[solar girder]

we can't talk, it's my question! how can we write? we need use our phone, it's not practical

[lament root]

HISlaH. wIneH!

[astral hull]

Is this orcish?

[lament root]

Klingon

[astral hull]

It kinda reminded me of communicating with the opposite faction on WoW KEK

[lament root]

Tell more about this experience, please

[drifting egret]

you guys actually communicated? I always just get wiped lmao

[astral hull]

There’s actually a key that could translate for you too!

[astral hull]

If I was an orc and typed out lol in chat, the opposite faction who doesn’t speak my language would see it as “kek” so sometimes you’d catch them chatting and all you read is random because they don’t speak your language.

You can also change your language so even tho orcs and trolls are both horde, you could speak in orcish and the troll won’t understand

[blissful basin]

anyone have a mostly flat, pretty revelwoods location ? looking to move my main base

[wraith umbra]

Have the devs mentioned anything about a roadmap yet?

[blissful basin]

check announcements

[pliant quarry]

no

[astral hull]

No but the people are eagerly awaiting

[wraith umbra]

Okay Toast, thanks, I'll keep waiting. Great game!

[pliant quarry]

Anytime Adall, see you never

[astral hull]

And ban

[lament root]

Similar to NMS language system. We have to find Knowledge Stones to lwarn more words of NPCs language. If we don't know any words, all the NPC messages and dialogues look completely meaningless. However, many people don't care about this.

[trim marten]

what's a 'roadmap'?

[still igloo]

Dude they're adding Water!

[astral hull]

I like that! It just adds so much more depth and immersion. I’d be the one trying to find all the knowledge stones

[astral hull]

It’s a map of all the roads

[jovial pasture]

this is a wonderus roadmap

[still igloo]

I never been so bricked up over a roadmap

[jovial pasture]

same

[snow plaza]

you're still not funny

Sadly, I almost stopped playing there due to terrible lags and glitches and bad co-op connection.. But I still like NMS...

[upper heath]

Hey I heard there was a world save file for building i cannot find it perhaps i was missinformed?

[astral hull]

Here you are; https://discord.com/channels/1046840540550942720/1206680816080392192

[upper heath]

oh thanks!

[karmic barn]

in-game chat isnt on the road map :/

[still igloo]

I just use Discord

[hexed ruin]

I just don't have any friends, problem solved.

[karmic barn]

having to switch between discord and the game isn't ideal

[still igloo]

There's gamebar too

[still igloo]

You talmbout typing chat? I meant for voice

[lyric citrus]

Game chat should be a higher priority if they want dedicated servers to take off. Crouch spamming and firing arrows to point at things only goes so far

[karmic barn]

my bad, i should have specified. my friend is deaf so we cant vc

[still igloo]

Oh I gotcha

ye chat would be cool

[karmic barn]

hopefully it gets added soon

[lyric citrus]

Is support for modding on the roadmap?

[wraith umbra]

no

[wraith umbra]

use blocks to spell!

[astral hull]

I don’t think there’s any official dedicated servers. Only private servers set to public. I’m in full support of an in-game chat feature but I still wouldn’t play with randos even if chat was in-game.

[wraith umbra]

Only if they deserve it

[lyric citrus]

That's a really cool concept if you're at home, but if I want to chat with someone mid-quest, I don't think it's a great solution to set up and altar and then build a whole sentence lmao

[wraith umbra]

Agreed, but it's totally viable

[balmy topaz]

Not seeing "the ability to each complete quests and content individually" on the road map 👀
Hard to say if that falls under anything there... but I would hope that is #1 on the list so that I can finally play with my friends 🤭

[lyric citrus]

That's not what I would call viable lmao

[humble gyro]

yall aint heard of discord overlay?

[wraith umbra]

Just carry 1000 blocks and some rocks everywhere you go

[glad meadow]

I don't think they ever plan on this having a large of amount dedicated servers. from the gameplay they were going for more of a team-based pve survival game you can only have.

[pliant quarry]

Not on the roadmap but we do want to add more moddability/options over time, for example more features for server owners (which is on the roadmap)

We just aren't sure when or how much we would add yet, so we didn't want to commit at this time. It's a big undertaking given that our game is built in a custom engine.

But yeah we have nothing against modders and love some of the mods/hacks people have already made for the game, even if they're a bit janky lol

[humble gyro]

adding chat methods then?

[tranquil cosmos]

something is eating parts of your pfp 😝

[astral hull]

I believe this would fall under “server gameplay settings”

[pliant quarry]

The game chat thing is definitely on the team's radar, I think it's been on backburner at the moment which might be why it wasn't considered for the roadmap. Just because something isn't on the roadmap doesn't mean it's not coming though, this was more a "things we definitely plan on doing" sorta thing.

[quasi saffron]

Satisfy your local goblin. Is Money being printed?

[karmic barn]

that is great to hear, i was worried we wouldn't get in-game chat

[glad meadow]

Can you pin this message

I think it would be good for the community all to know that.

[trim marten]

GLASS....we need GLASS!

[humble gyro]

Fr

[lyric citrus]

This is kinda a strange question, but is the goal of the final release to utilize 100% of the map space that currently exists but is gated off? Will that come with a level cap increase since you hit level 25 by the end of the EA area pretty easily?

[trim marten]

we could do soooo many things with GLASS......

[humble gyro]

I want glass windows, not sticks in my window 💀

[real marlin]

Like put... WATER in it!

[trim marten]

and, according to a programmer in chat....GLASS is easy...its a 'transparency' setting

[pliant quarry]

Eh I'd probably rather talk to the devs directly first to see what the exact status is on it, I know they're aware it's a common request but I don't know exactly what the plan is for it. They're off for the day though it's late in Germany.

[wraith umbra]

Yes...

[balmy topaz]

water is pretty hype. you don't realize how weird it is to not have water until you go around a huge map and never see it 🤣 aside from being pulled up from wells and found in canteens

[lyric citrus]

How do you know that? Are you a developer?

[trim marten]

water is hard....I can see that....a water 'texture' block would be easier....and GLASS even easier than that

[wraith umbra]

!size

[unborn sigil]

Enshrouded's demo map was about 1 km², Early Access is about 24 km², and full release will be around 64 km²

Created by abadfeeling#0 (180800697455869954)

[last crescent]

im surprised the animals and trees have survived this long without it 😆

[wraith umbra]

It's almost like you can know stuff without being a dev because they say stuff 🤷‍♂️

[quasi saffron]

He's Adall. [Not a Mod] Adall even.

[balmy topaz]

yeah... Water could technically be really easy to add since it is a hand crafted map, but it's not that simple due to the voxel nature of everything hahaha

[lyric citrus]

That doesn't really answer the questions I have, but thanks.

[quasi saffron]

It does answer thus...

[snow plaza]

Adall, I'm waiting for a word in Codenames

[humble gyro]

They photosynthesize

[snow plaza]

.... priorities smh

[glad meadow]

make sense I mostly just want people to know that if it's not on the roadmap that doesn't mean they're not going to implement it. people assume if it's not listed no one is looking into it but as far as I can tell so far with the studio they are listening to everything we have to say which makes me excited for the future.

[wraith umbra]

I mean it does though, the rest of the map that is walled off is ~ 40km^2, so them developing that for full release is filling out the rest of the map.

[pliant quarry]

Yeah there's a lot more being looked into than we possibly could have fit on a single roadmap image hah, that was mostly a list of things we know with almost certainty are coming.

[quasi saffron]

My needs for money feel pretty ignored.

[pliant quarry]

Or almost certainty, I suppose plans could change if the need arises or if unforseen things happen.

[hexed ruin]

I was gonna say - be careful with the word "certainly" people will hold yo to it 😉

[pliant quarry]

Yeah I'm gonna edit that just so people can't screenshot it in 2 years when something changes

[quasi saffron]

Too late.
Internet never forgets.

[humble gyro]

Rideable unicorn when???????????

[strong sinew]

+1 to that

[quasi saffron]

When Kira wakes up again. She was almost done transforming into one.

[pliant quarry]

Nothing makes a CMs heartrate spike more than seeing a screenshot of one of their random chat messages posted on twitter with a timestamp from more than a month ago

[balmy topaz]

Despite all that is promised, have to say the prospect of the skill tree being looked at and expanded upon excites me the most. Idk about everyone else, but I found it to be overall very shallow and full of nodes I had no care for but had to work my way through for other ones... and they are usually expensive nodes.
The whole circular skill tree is interesting, but it's far too limiting imo and leaves little room for future expansion.
Fingers crossed we can get a somewhat better solution to make leveling feel a lot better. 😋

[quasi saffron]

You can bribe me if there was an opportunity to accumulate in-game currency in treasuries...~

[hexed ruin]

I think the one thing from the roadmap I look forward too most is the ability to name bases, put nametags on map POIs, and then to lable crates - that will keep me more than happy for a while.

[humble gyro]

I hoard runes.

[modest compass]

What happened to individual quest progression in the feature list? It used to be the top feature requested and it's not there anymore. I'm waiting to jump back into the game when this is implemented. Is it still being done?

[quasi saffron]

It's not the same, I can't show them or pile. Or throw gems at it to make it shiny.

[astral hull]

I think I’m most excited about instanced dungeons and MORE BLOCKS

[astral hull]

I believe that falls under “server gameplay settings” in the roadmap

[pliant quarry]

Falls into this category pretty much, though in hindsight maybe we should have made it more clear because it's very popular.

[hexed ruin]

Lol, sooo many blocks, I think even after 180 hours, my house only has basic wood and stone blocks - one day I will get round to building somethng decent out of other, shinier blocks..

[last crescent]

i hope there is more carpets, different coloured ones, we have the fabric for it

[glad meadow]

I think the web skill tree is a great idea and as they continue developing this game I can see it becoming one of its best features. at the moment we have only ben given what looks like 1/3 of the map so my guess is work and end up with a lot more levels therefore a lot more skill points.

[balmy topaz]

I would imagine it is easily the most requested change/addition.
It's singlehandedly the only thing lacking that is keeping ALL of my friends from playing 😅

[quasi saffron]

Toast, once again ignoring my offering to bribe me to not post a screenshot in 2 months.

[pliant quarry]

Yeah it's planned, internally we have a goal for when it will release but I don't want to say when yet until things are more set in stone.

It's a decently big feature to implement because it requires changing a lot of things at once, but I'd say it's probably one of the most popular requests, or maybe even the most popular, so we'll definitely do it.

[glad meadow]

@pliant quarry I just want to let you know you are a really good CM keep up the good work

[quasi saffron]

We all love him. And CUB.

[ocean anvil]

road maps generally are setup so players and devs have an idea of what's to come, though some stuff may take longer due to the development. Some stuff might be set to the side until stuff is figured out as that's part of managing costs and time.

[wraith umbra]

I've said it before, this community has some good CMs, just realistic people and not annoyingly overly PR language types.

[pliant quarry]

I don't negotiate with terroristsgamers

[wraith umbra]

I also am not at all shocked by the roadmap, only two surprises for me (server to server portals/instanced dungeons)

[quasi saffron]

Why do people always call me that.

[humble gyro]

Isnt this discord basically run by the actual devs of the game? And not some random managers?

[arctic glacier]

It would be nice to get a write up with some more details about what some of the roadmap items actually are. Not all of the titles are clear to me.

[astral hull]

When I read instanced dungeons I thought I was dreaming. I’ve been telling my friends that they would be an awesome addition and here they are

[pliant quarry]

Most studios use in-house CMs that are part of the dev team, I think my boss just forgets to check my message history so I don't get yelled at

[trim marten]

its the name....

[ocean anvil]

@pliant quarry is not random, might be a bit crispy - that's Toast..lol

[wraith umbra]

Well they are company employees, but I just meant their hired CMs. A lot of game discords (official ones) have boring/aggressive positivity CMs

[hexed ruin]

What is an "instanced dungeon"?

[glad meadow]

that is why I am so glad they didn't add time frames to the roadmap. I know there's a lot of people complaining about it but I would rather them give us a general outline of what work they want to get done this year instead of just giving us false hope for timing of when features may be implemented that they would have no clue at this stage in development the actual timing it may take.

[quasi saffron]

You got something on your name too.

[humble gyro]

O

[astral hull]

It’s a dungeon that is it’s own map essentially.

[wraith umbra]

A dungeon that exists in a unique space outside the world that only exists when people enter it

[trim marten]

but I am a 'super villain' so....

[hexed ruin]

Oh, wow, cool, thanks.

[pliant quarry]

Also helps that people love our game and it's doing well, I'd have to be much more "PR mode" if I was constantly responding to backlash and criticism all day.

[ocean anvil]

@glad meadow I'm working on an album I don't give out dates for stuff, just soon!

[trim marten]

that's what you get for making a good game!

[quasi saffron]

Schrödinger's Cat?!

[balmy topaz]

The biggest benefit to instancing imo is that you can freely create large and wonderous locations that might not necessarily fit within the terrain the entrance to the dungeon is located... and ofcourse being way away from the actual map means all the objects there are not hogging performance while within the dungeon.

[wraith umbra]

I mean, even some games that are doing well just have those CMs that are 100% happy and serious, it's not fun

[quasi saffron]

The latter would be the main reason I guess

[astral hull]

Schrödinger's dungeon

[humble gyro]

I think thats an issue of ego. Alot of "big-wigs" have ego.

[hexed ruin]

It sounds good, but I much prefer the outside world - be intersting to see how it plays

[wraith umbra]

I think it's more just "being a professional over all other personalities" thing

[glad meadow]

I'm wondering if the instant dungeons will be randomized or if they are going to be building handcrafted dungeons. I'm cool with either one.

[balmy topaz]

I compare it to how The Legend of Zelda has been going. The open air dungeons from their latest games are interesting, but for me they massively lack compared to the instanced dungeons of old.

[quasi saffron]

The CM's here are really professional. I get every time professional dismissed for my question about money as a ingame currency.

[astral hull]

Random would be great for replayability but handcrafted would be better for immersion imo

[wraith umbra]

When are they adding microtransactions?

[quasi saffron]

No. What you search for is "DLC when?"

[still igloo]

I think Enshrouded is probably the best game ever made

[astral hull]

There’s a few people advocating for micro transactions and monthly subs for Palworld. People are crazy lol

[viscid bluff]

jail bars when? i just wanna make a prison for the crafters.. for reasons

[quasi saffron]

Only possible if they invent taxes. And for taxes there's money needed...

[balmy topaz]

sad to see microtransations and monlthy subs being normalized... I fear the future hahaha

[viscid bluff]

well then, i support your cause

[hexed ruin]

The only games in recent years that have gripped me so much were NMS & 7Days2Die - I've never hit 186 hours in a game so quick.

[glad meadow]

I'm also super interested in "portals to other servers"

[hexed ruin]

Maybe there will come a time where our desktops revert to days of arcade machines, and we have a slot to insert cash to keep playing.

[still igloo]

Stop giving them ideas

[balmy topaz]

As a wanna be game designer, those are two things I would never want to see within my game. Of course with a few exceptions such as cosmetics only within a low priced live service game. Last Epoch for example.

[viscid bluff]

true pay to play

[quasi saffron]

Thought that was called monthly subscription?

[lament root]

I would prefer if no one visits our server.

[trim marten]

remember people.....WE....control this market...WITH OUT WALLETS.....as most things in our world are controlled, and they want you to think otherwise!

[still igloo]

There's an MBA just lurking and taking notes

[astral hull]

I’m sure itll be an optional thing. I don’t think they’d let anyone enter any save

[hexed ruin]

Same, but "5-minutey subscription" they want you to get a buzz out of feeding your hard-earned into it.

[quasi saffron]

Yea. But without money I can't control my crafters. They just stand around, yelling at me.

[viscid bluff]

i'd imagine the portals have to have links anyway, and with that comes server permissions etc unless it uses 'local save maps' as the other 'servers'

[trim marten]

'monthly subscriptions'...yes, look at how amazing Dual Universe is doing

[balmy topaz]

subs are just sad... all my wow chars sitting in purgatory simply because I can't merit spending the sub for how little I would play right now haha

[lament root]

current password-protected system is good for me. I don't see a sense in moving between the servers, except unprotected servers.

[astral hull]

The only sub I’ll pay now is for my own private servers

[glad meadow]

I could just see that being a very cool thing with the large communities that want a world that they can all build together in but then go back to their own instance world's to gather resources or other things.

[lament root]

But then someone comes to that server and destroy everything those people have build....

[balmy topaz]

Is why if that matters to you it is best to only play with friends (people you trust)

[astral hull]

That’s probably where server permissions come into play

[viscid bluff]

you have no idea how they're implementing the feature but you're against it like it's going to open your private world up to everyone lol

[quasi saffron]

We dunno how it'll work. I think, at least, it'll be a server side setting.

[viscid bluff]

in most games there's 2 sides to it, permissions to allow it and physical nodes to link the two worlds together for a portal

so unless you allow it, your world is going to be safe unless they royally screw up the system to do it

[lavish lily]

[lyric citrus]

Is improving the "stack splitting" function on the roadmap? It's absolutely abhorrent to try and split stacks to certain amounts with the current system

[somber egret]

I did just look at it. It's already been said not everything was included on it. You're being incredibly unhelpful

but it's on there...

[pliant quarry]

I hope she wasn't getting hate that build was insane

Show me then. Circle it. All I see is "improved loot UI" which could mean any number of things

There is something wrong with that link if you direct link the tweet, but I think it's a problem with twitter, the post itself is still there if you check her profile directly

The problem is that some posts of contestants are flagged as Adult content. So you need to be logged in I would say.

[feral nebula]

guys why cant a use staff?

[pliant quarry]

twitter in general is like, completely non-functional now if you're not logged in

[lavish lily]

You equip a spell to it?

[lyric citrus]

By design. Musk wants your info, and is allegedly considering hating Twitter behind a subscription

[still igloo]

Maybe this internet thing was a bad idea

[pliant quarry]

I thought the fact that tweets never embedded was by design too but then they fixed it like... 8 months later. So I've stopped trying to understand anything they do anymore.

[mint palm]

Anyone talking about the map in the background of the roadmap? I think it's looking further south than the current world border

[wraith umbra]

Almost like the new owner hates fun

Good afternoon fellow adventurers, may i interfere in your conversation with my question, to satisfy my curiosity?

[lavish lily]

Weird way to spell Flameborn

[mint palm]

I was a flameborn, until I got shot in the knee

[feral nebula]

and how do i get spells for the staff

[lyric citrus]

Looting or crafting at the Alchemist

[sudden drum]

You can't make us curious and then not ask the question.
I need to know what it is now !!!!

[lavish lily]

You can find them as loot and you can unlock some by following Alchemist quests

[wraith umbra]

This is why I hate it when people ask if they can ask XD

[signal fog]

I really up for some satisfaction in this evening. Anyway, did you guys just rushed thru the quests to unlock every building block or did your best to build something at early game stage with whatever you had. Im withholding building something too fancy until i get all those shiny building materials!!!

[wraith umbra]

Up to you man, do whatever makes you happy

[sudden drum]

Which is a paradox in itself, because they've already asked/disturbed the conversation.

[trim marten]

quests? there are quests in this game?

[wraith umbra]

I should start doing this more in real life "Yo I have a question" and just never ask

[lavish lily]

I'm end game and my build is literal garbage. Going to use the resource server to focus on building now that I've completed the available content.

[trim marten]

you do know about the 'resource worlds' I hope...

[hexed ruin]

I built myself a rubbish house with basic materials, then built a slightly better house with basic materials when I realised the first one was so small. And now I have lots of shiny materials and am taking my time to find a place whee I want to build something proper witht hte shiny things

[signal fog]

Quests, im not sure whats the right way to call them. Pardon my ignorance

[lavish lily]

I played a LOT of Conan Exiles and did a ton of building there. So I'm looking forward to going crazy here

[trim marten]

no, I was kidding, that was my attempt at humor.....meanign that a lot of players didn't do the quests and went straight to building....

[lavish lily]

I know nothing and I can prove it. Pray tell

[hexed ruin]

This was deffo me - until I realsied that other than shelters for the NPCs - buildings don't serve a massive purpose when playing solo - other than the buffs of course

[trim marten]

where people can access them? how?

[lavish lily]

Oh, yeah one sec. Someone just helped me with that

[signal fog]

Im doing the same, built literal shit shack and cramped everything in it. Barely can get to my bed since everyhing is so hoarded, just can no longer deal with it but also want to get all building blocks

[viscid bluff]

'shelter' being just place a roof over them

[trim marten]

excellent....for the others who are new...

[lavish lily]

This

[hexed ruin]

My opinion would be to just keep playing for a while and unlocking more materials - but of course you will do your own thing 🙂

[hexed ruin]

100% this. At least I now have them in stables and not just a roof block over their head

[viscid bluff]

hey that quick roof block is handy when you just start out and need something made lol

[feral nebula]

how do i get shroud wood?

[wraith umbra]

go into the shroud

[lavish lily]

I have one more question. Say I place a new flame altar to start a new build. Then I finish the build but want to move the altar inside or to a better spot. How do I do that without destroying stuff? Just place a new altar?

[feral nebula]

I did

[sudden drum]

From trees/wood in the.........SHROUD 😮

[viscid bluff]

dead trees in the shroud

[lavish lily]

Yeah, just chop any tree in the shroud

[feral nebula]

i cut yrees and did nt get any

[thorny fossil]

it drops on the ground, you might have to run around to collect it

[viscid bluff]

did you loot the drops on the ground?

[lavish lily]

Keep trying and make sure you're picking it up off the ground after

[hexed ruin]

Cut the really obviosly dead trees

[subtle prawn]

Ye destroying it and building it new (to be save place the new one first)

[signal fog]

Here is the thing, i don’t want this dopamine inducing stuff to ever come to an end. I want to prolong my journey as much as possible, take the quests slowly and leave something for later to explore still. Im just afraid im going thru the quests too fast but neither can i refuse to not get those building blocks

[viscid bluff]

items don't disappear like the message says until you reset the area by leaving or reconnect to your world.. so it's usually safe to dismantle and move the existing one without a second alter to protect the area

[lavish lily]

Thank you. So basically just build the structure, destroy altar, place new altar, and then add the stuff that despawns?

[feral nebula]

does it look normal than normal trees?

[wraith umbra]

just build something serviceable and then go explore slowly, build somthing big at the end

[subtle prawn]

Do it the other way around just to be save since relogging or not placing it for 30mins just removes everything

[sudden drum]

normal DEAD trees

[hexed ruin]

I get ya. It's a balance. I'm at that stage now where I am going to look for somewhere I really want to settle permanently and do some proper building before completing more quests.

[lavish lily]

Thanks guys 🤙 Good to know. I've been too nervous to test it lol

[lavish lily]

Even if you go through and complete every quest you have, you'll still have so much to explore.

[signal fog]

Not that sounds like a music to my ears, thanks!

[pulsar dust]

Thank you Keen Games so much for all your work. I love every bit of prospect in the roadmap.
I imagine you have already collaborated on what I'm going to mention, but for the sake of voicing it..
We can have a galaxy of new content, but if the combat/skill tree/class balancing stays the same then I worry it'll make experiencing that content a bit flat.
I imagine it just wasn't mentioned in the roadmap and is still intended, but it should be acknowledged for the many that are really thirsty for more combat/class-related features and tuning.
Only so much new content can be done at a time, and nothing is more important the health of Keen Games and Enshrouded. It must be difficult deciding what features get new content and what's possible within timeframes. Dare I say it, I do believe better combat is more important than survival/building features as the game is currently. I believe your combat is what separates you from the other survival games I grew bored of. I assume improving combat and class systems may be harder and more time consuming to create compared to potted plants and round doors/windows.
I try to be as apparently respectful to all of you at Keen Games, because I truly appreciate this game, and it's still so early.
Thank you Toast for all the updates and interaction.

TLDR
Love the roadmap
Want more combat/skill features/tuning
Thank you Keen Games

[lavish lily]

I like that octopus

[sudden drum]

Tbh (but still just imho) the building part of such games is the long term part and what keeps most people busy and encouraged to go on with such kind of games.

[hexed ruin]

I like the way you respectfully made your point - I think I would just counter it by wondering if there are more people who's priority are the pots and the round windows.. That sort of thing is great escapism for many people. Must be so hard to be a dev and try to keep everyone happy. Personally, I'm here more for the building (even though I haven't done much of it yet, I've been saving it). Waht's great is that they appear to listen, understand, and hopefully implement what we want.

Although, even if they ignored every one of us I'd trust them to do a cracking job.

[mint cove]

Just got my Flame altar disapeared and my base is gone (
Did anybody else got this bug ?

[tropic hornet]

Vanity, dungeons, world events, etc
We eating goooooooood oh yeah

[feral nebula]

guys is there a final boss in the game what is the final boss called?

[hexed ruin]

Stephen

[sudden drum]

Final boss

[real marlin]

Right now there is only one boss, the dragon dude in the city thing

[lament trout]

Shame there’s no Combat improvement on the Roadmap 😦

[tulip rain]

Did I hear something about a sale coming up for the Early Access?
Have some friends that would buy it then 😄

[raw flame]

Same

[quiet geyser]

Heyyo how's everyone

[last crescent]

first discount, starting on March 14th, and ending March 21st.

[tulip rain]

Awesome!

[hexed ruin]

Yes, it's in the Steam Spring Sale - starting tomorrow

[quasi saffron]

I'm out of money.

[sonic field]

Road map, no new weapons? Like daggers?! All year?!?!

[hexed ruin]

!??!?!!!

[last crescent]

road map is the stuff 100% being added, there is more behind the scenes

[quiet geyser]

I'm impressed they're still trying to get water

[sonic field]

I Hope ):

[tulip rain]

Heroes, thank you

[quiet geyser]

Also I'm excited for the music instruments. Can't wait to annoy all my NPCs like how they annoy me every time they come across line of sight

[last crescent]

" One thing to note: a roadmap is a living and breathing thing! It will change as we develop the game and things turn out to be harder (or easier!) to implement than we originally thought"

[hexed ruin]

And the fact there are already so many weapons, materials, outfits already, tells me there will be plenty more to come.

[sudden drum]

Didn't see any machine guns

[real marlin]

Don't see any machine guns, yet

[hexed ruin]

You didn't look in the right places - keep searching.

[sudden drum]

Imagine no machine guns in 2024

[quiet geyser]

If anything the closest we'll ever get to guns is either a crossbow or a very early attempt at a Harquebus

Crossbows could be nice. You can load up an arrow so you don't have to charge the first shot in fights

[wraith umbra]

When is this game going to turn into helldivers? We need drop in missions on randomly generated maps.

[astral hull]

Closest thing to a gun rn is a staff. Fireballs go boom

[real marlin]

Nah, Shroudtech is the end game. Sort of a Shroudpunk aesthetic

[astral hull]

You could say it’s shroudcore

[real marlin]

You could but you shouldn't

[astral hull]

Shroudcore is the current inside joke of my group whenever we upgrade the altar lol

[viscid bluff]

Shroudcore sounds like some epic music tho

[astral hull]

It’s also an aesthetic

[viscid bluff]

and they are adding instruments..

[astral hull]

I’m hella hyped for instruments!! Love playing those on Sea of Thieves

[viscid bluff]

same

one thing i always made sure my Skyrim homes had was the bard playing music

[static narwhal]

I am so happy with all the fun stuff they have for builders. It is very exciting.

[native parrot]

Imagine. All the people. 🎶

[runic wolf]

Building seems very grindy. How do you guys collect all the resources and create such cool builds? :0

[sudden drum]

Resource servers/saves

[runic wolf]

I swear my starter house is a straight up box

[native parrot]

WAIT.
Hol up.
If we get instruments in Enshrouded we HAVE to have "Burned Brass".

[raven patrol]

will there ever be more content, nothing to do is boring

[native parrot]

Play another game then duh

[astral hull]

I actually find the resource grind to be very light in this game. 2 rocks give you 100 rough stone blocks for your starting base.

[real marlin]

Grind

[raven patrol]

Great answer /slowclap

[quiet geyser]

Can't wait to pull out a lute in front of my NPCs and go "check out this sweet lute I found! Anyway here's Wonderwall:"

[astral hull]

Build something nice

God imagine sandstorms in the Kindle Wastes

[raven patrol]

is there a roadmap or something

[native parrot]

-darudo sandstorm.mp4-

Did someone say sandstorm?

[sudden drum]

#news message

[still igloo]

I've heard rumor of a roadmap, filled with vast fortune

[native parrot]

Why stupid phone do you autocorrect mp3 to mp4. Stupid idiot phone.

[still igloo]

well 4 is better than 3 obvs

[native parrot]

THATS NOT WHAT THE NUMBER IS FOR

[sudden drum]

Good operating systems adapt to the user.

[raven patrol]

Thank you!

[native parrot]

I know I'm stupid but my smart phone isn't supposed to be too

[still igloo]

Well there is a music video to that song

[native parrot]

Yes but I don't WANT the video everytime I'm in the sandstorm I just want the music

[lyric citrus]

Is the ability to make your character dummy thicc somewhere in the roadmap too?

[native parrot]

Yes.

[lyric citrus]

Sweeeeet. That's all I need. Thicc carpenter

[still igloo]

Real talk

[lyric citrus]

If I make a dedicated server and someone griefs it, is there a ban system in place?

[brave girder]

Serious question about the roadmap @pliant quarry ! With the addition of music instruments - will you give us an option to import/implement ABC notiations into the game? I played in a band in Lord of the rings Online for a while, where we were able to compose abc-notations (ascii editor) and play them ingame! This would be pure awesomeness!

[pliant quarry]

I don't think they're at the stage of development for me to know the answer to that yet to be honest haha, I would need to check with the dev that's working on them but they're off for the night since it's late.

[regal jasper]

i didn't see but tell me they are letting you name chests for better organization. my friends think my methods of storage are insane and names would help QQ

[trim marten]

player made instances really excites me.....ohhh the possibilities

[brave girder]

thanks in advance!

[still igloo]

I just keep everything everywhere and I always have it when I need it

[regal jasper]

lol i think they would agree with your storage system but i need an individual box for EVERYTHING D:

[chrome ravine]

Does anyone know if these updates that the roadmap brought will be separated into 1 change per month, or more or all at once?

[sudden drum]

yes

[chrome ravine]

and what will it be like?

[sudden drum]

Like you said: one of those options

[regal jasper]

its likely to be over the course of the year. how many are released is goign to depend on how easy/difficult they are to implement so its impossible to answer that

likely even from the develop side unless they are closer to a release date

[chrome ravine]

And what I want to ask is: which option is the true one?

[wanton wedge]

We ready for slow mode off

[chrome ravine]

hm...

first month of update:
sit in the chair.
now save the next one

[native parrot]

OmgYesPleaseYesNoSlowModeYesYeaItWouldBeGreatAbsolutelyYes

[wraith umbra]

There's slow mode?

[native parrot]

Reeeeee

[echo ledge]

Roadmap has me excited, thankfully Dragon's Dogma 2 is around the corner so it'll make the wait for updates a lot more bearable

[native parrot]

Wait was the road map actually released??

[echo ledge]

check news section

[quasi saffron]

Hey Mr. President. How's it?

[native parrot]

Holy shit. I thought it was just a meme

[quasi saffron]

Late to the party, huh?

[echo ledge]

very few games take exploration seriously outside of checklist content, very glad I heard about Enshrouded while waiting for DD2, now I wait for both lmao

[native parrot]

Indeed.
I was busy being a ninja and not saying anything.
(Ask Frie)

One game that has some nice exploration is Just Cause 3

[echo ledge]

a bit concerned about declaring that they're going to put in water, I hope this means they figured out something they'd like to work with, because announcing that publicly is going to result in expectations

probably means we'll see significant map overhauls too if it actually becomes a reality

[viscid bluff]

self contained water sources can still exist.. purified water near 'flame' sources could exist too.. or they're telling us they have the solution to the Shroud entirely for the endgame?

[native parrot]

Enshrouded is like a tea.

First they wrap it all up a nice bag of basics and fundamentals to provide flavour and nutrients.
Then they dip it in water XD

[echo ledge]

I assume late-game we may have a means to remove shroud within protected areas

[viscid bluff]

that was my first assumption when i saw water mentioned was "repairing" the world

[echo ledge]

we can terraform the land all we want but it'd be a bit weird if we couldn't get rid of the shroud in the air

[viscid bluff]

maybe a way to purify the red areas or at least push back shroud so water can exist

[copper apex]

for the shrine area maybe

[native parrot]

Maybe the water will be shroud liquid

[viscid bluff]

the shrine is a smaller version of the flame in the sanctums etc, so i'd say anywhere the 'flame' can purify the shroud

[prisma frost]

Hi uncle

[native parrot]

Hel💥

[sudden drum]

Pls...the game is called Enshrouded, not De-shroud-it

[trim marten]

sup Zen

[echo ledge]

right now sanctums and shrines aren't all that different besides their immediate surroundings, they'll probably do things to make the sanctums more important

[prisma frost]

Hi newspaper man

[viscid bluff]

it's also an RPG with a story and endgame, you really think leaving the world tripping on shrooms is a good story?

[quasi saffron]

It's also not called every 5 meters there is a spithole from the Wispwyvern-shrouded.

[trim marten]

sup Talesboom!

[native parrot]

Hiya Porco

You still using Heygen?

[echo ledge]

like the sanctum in Pikemead's Reach seems like it should be more important, maybe late game we could power it up to reclaim the city area from the shroud

[trim marten]

no, just been making newspapers and magazines and posting them as YT shorts......oh, and ASMRs too, did you check my YT out?

[native parrot]

I did.

[echo ledge]

maybe we could end up with another progression/upgrade system like the gliders and grappling hooks, this one affecting our movement. Right now we have zero answer to deep snow and I don't think devs will release mountain biome with us spending 80% of it with our movement drastically reduced

[ocean anvil]

11:02pm in Germany

[viscid bluff]

snow boots.. or wolf sleds lol

[echo ledge]

like I imagine endgame we'd probably have a way to traverse the red fungi floor too, or at least not make it immediately instakill

[ocean anvil]

dog sled for snow area would be cool

[copper apex]

they could make it, that it isnt water coz of the lore, but some sort of shroud liquid, with the same color tint in blueish/green/crystal like style, maybe let it glitter slightly and wave, and thats it 🤔

[viscid bluff]

i imagine there will be plenty of roads and the "deep snow" affect is being fine tuned for the mountain biome with a mechanic to traverse those specific areas easier.. snow won't be over the area 100% remember

seems at the moment it's just being used as a player boundary similar to the rubble and deadly shroud

[copper apex]

something like this #screenshots-and-art message 😅

[steel slate]

Hello Hello 😄 😄

[prisma frost]

Hi

[copper apex]

heyo

[hexed ruin]

I know I could Google it, but some things I like to chat about - how does spirit work? Like from Aureolin flower?

[steel slate]

How is everyone doing ⁉️ 😄

[sudden drum]

Lost my map on the road...wasn't that great

[steel slate]

Damn

[upper willow]

whats point of a road map if it has no dates on it

[hexed ruin]

The dates are 2024 - seems sensible to me

[feral nebula]

guys how do i place a survivor in my home?

[prisma frost]

Use summoning staff

[feral nebula]

how do i get it it says i can but how?

[prisma frost]

Craft on workbench

[hexed ruin]

Craft it, you just need twigs

[feral nebula]

it is not in the workbench guys

[hexed ruin]

No, it's just in manual crafting

[feral nebula]

oh there it is thank you buddy

[chilly minnow]

Is the Helix wand still in game?

[minor pawn]

Why wouldn´t it be?

[tribal otter]

Hey @pliant quarry, I posted this earlier but saw no one got around to it, so I'm going to repeat my question here.

Quick question: is the issue where magic chests are inaccessible from a certain distance going to be looked at? Do the devs know about it? Currently, magic chests can't have their contents used if you're too far away from them (but still within the limits of the base).

If this isn't the best place for this type of question, I would happily accept any feedback on where to post this.

Just wanna make sure this is at least known so we can hopefully get a fix at some point!

[feral nebula]

guys what is the best way to get metal scrab

[prisma frost]

Kill scavengers or destroy some pot

[wraith umbra]

If you submit it as a bug, I'm sure they will look into it

You aren't the first to mention it, so it is probably being looked into on some level

[analog sail]

I Personally Feel It Is Intended, But No Idea If It Wasn't.

Kinda Makes Sense To Me That They Can Be Used Up To A Specific Distance Only

[hexed ruin]

How And Why Did You Capitalise Every Word?

[sudden drum]

https://enshrouded.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9767167725853

[tribal otter]

I'll be sure to submit it as a bug. Thank you guys for the suggestions!

[brittle sluice]

I haven't seen anything mentioning but is there a bug in the achievements recognitions? Been using them as "I've cleared this region" sort of thing for wells and roots but noticed that the fact that I have the Extrodinary glider didn't get registered as I'm trying to make sure I've hit all the flame shrines

[plucky marsh]

The dungeons have buttons and levers that open doors and i feel having an electronic system in the game would greatly increase player expression

[jovial pasture]

elevators

[sudden drum]

There are 3 gliders.
2 craftable and one you can only find. The last one is the one for the achievement.
Check names.

[brittle sluice]

"Extarodinary Glider"

[jovial pasture]

the findable one can be crafted after found i think

[brittle sluice]

ergo why I'm asking

gonna hazard then that the name of the glider is the name of that acchievement 'cause I technically achieved it with the glider I have equipped

[cold violet]

You kno, I was going to come ask the same thing…
Typically road maps are like…. You know…. A map of a road where there are destinations.

Not a friggin collage of random images of what “might” come next. Maybe they opened the game to the public too soon as it doesn’t seem even THEY know where they want to take the game.

Alas, the game is great in its state and very promising so I decided not to complain until I piggy backed your comment lol. I’m burnt out for now but will check in on updates from time to time. Have fun helldiv… erm I mean flameborns!

[sudden drum]

It's the ghost glider. my bad

[brittle sluice]

No worries my guy, might want to update the achievement descriptor if that's the case or set it to a "hidden" achievemnt

[hexed ruin]

And still there's no reason to complain - the roadmap is what is expected over the next year or so - not sure they have to put definitive dates on things. Ignore the images, read the words - that's what the post is about

[brittle sluice]

if it's hidden loot that would make a hidden or 'secret' achieve fit better

[wraith umbra]

I mean the achievement is just poorly named, I wouldn't stress it

the ghost glider is also an extraordinary glider

[brittle sluice]

also, considering that the game is still early access, their roadmap don't bother me in the slightest. They've got a lot on their plate and a lot of feedback to filter through.

[brittle sluice]

gotcha

[cold violet]

Didn’t really complain I don’t think but in my 2+ decades of gaming I’ve never seen a roadmap that doesn’t have at least quarterly expectations.

[wraith umbra]

They did provide timelines

All of that stuff is for this year, some of it is over the next few updates, and they have told us a content update is coming this month

[true widget]

i am excited about water

[hexed ruin]

That's where you are going wrong - in my 4 decades of gaming, I've never expected anything.

[cold violet]

Ya ya, I get it @wraith umbra but even then it’s “well it might be too hard” lol

That’s fine - just making an observation because it’s abnormal.

[brittle sluice]

Is there a proposition to give flame shrines check-off marks like the cleared areas, by the by?

[jovial pasture]

ye its great we know what there plans are aleast everything on that list is a big w and this is more thank i expected to be honest

[wraith umbra]

No, because you can go back and get more sparks

the shroud root check off is to let you know which roots you have cut down since cutting them again does nothing for you

[true widget]

wish we get more skill points

[coral frost]

They gonna make water for real ? i wonder how is gonna turn out , i dont know how is gonna be possible or not , but if they nail it then this game would surpass valheim

[brittle sluice]

yea and you can go back to checked off regions and re-clear them for all the loot an enemies too, incluiding roots. But that'd be helpful to check off the shrines you've for sure visited.

[wraith umbra]

use custom markers 🤷‍♂️

[brittle sluice]

Except those break the ability to fast travel from time to time 🤷

[true widget]

i cut every shroud root and hunted the alien beans but i still want skill points to become the ultimate orion

[brittle sluice]

I've got a shoddy memory due to ADHD and 0 permanence, especially when everything has a "new" marker upon reloading

[sudden drum]

Why would anyone want to become an ultimate onion?

[true widget]

because onions are great, theres so many layers

[cold violet]

Layers.

[brittle sluice]

L a y e r s

[wraith umbra]

Then screenshot the map and paste it together in a giant image and tick them off yourself

I believe you can make this happen for yourself using 1 of thousands of methods

[elder parrot]

Its "Miss Octo" to me. A positive sign. She is the goddess in all adventure maps i build in TU ^^

[brittle sluice]

I mean, your opinion is noted but not valued if you're not one of the developers

[jovial pasture]

turn the roadmap into a castle the images are squares

[wraith umbra]

the devs dont really comment here, so best of luck getting their attention 🙂

[elder parrot]

What kind of reponse is that? Its still Miss Octo and it still means what i say it means? Eeeh

[brittle sluice]

que?

[true widget]

either case, i am happy to inform everyone, you all need copious quantities of sleep

[elder parrot]

Look at the message you replied to (u did not use the reply function)

And tell me the context?!

[brittle sluice]

Context was directed at Adall and manz recognized it

[astral hull]

And water. They need to hydrate

[hexed ruin]

Shroud juice does it for me

[elder parrot]

That is not how it will look in the log

[round heart]

where do we submit ideas or suggestions?

[brittle sluice]

to you, perhaps?

[sudden drum]

#game-faq message
Still closed tho

[astral hull]

The feature upvote site is currently closed however they plan on reopening it soon.

[brittle sluice]

Guy directly referenced my commentary so I'm not sure where the confusion comes in no particularly my concern

[wintry gazelle]

How much will it be during the Steam Spring sale?

[sudden drum]

Better ignore before you hurt 'em and that won't end well ...unfortunately....for you

[brittle sluice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hexed ruin]

Fifteen-tenty-twelve

[astral hull]

I don’t think they’ve announced how much it’ll be unless I missed that

[brittle sluice]

only thing about me rated 'E' for 'Everyone' is my fists so if logic and sense hurts and not knowing who's ignored who offends, that's not a me problem

[hexed ruin]

They didn't - we'll find out in a few hours

[astral hull]

It’s not that serious. Everything is fine

[elder parrot]

Fists? 🤔 try something calming, a cup of tea perhaps

[sudden drum]

Trust me, I'm on your side

[astral hull]

Chamomile tea from the hunter

[wintry gazelle]

Thanks lol ! Guess we wait and see

[elder parrot]

The side of beating people who comments with fists smh

[woeful light]

caffeine?

[brittle sluice]

appreciate ye

[elder parrot]

It calms some so mebbe that too dunno? Whatever calms them and steelraven from wanting to beat erryone with fists i guess

[astral hull]

Just drink shroud liquid. That’ll get you going

[elder parrot]

Think calm is good when discord discussions eggs one to wishing for violence ^^

Very happy about the roadmap at any rate, how theyve incorporated many players wishes ^^

[carmine scroll]

Violence you say?! 😃 🗡️

[brittle sluice]

I mean that's 90% of this game so, Yee, violence

[elder parrot]

Only in games, not on discord on people commenting ^^

[carmine scroll]

I dont want peace! I want problems! always!

[brittle sluice]

manz understand that peace is a virtue and not nature

[carmine scroll]

animals do not understand peace.

[brittle sluice]

anycase, as I've understood thanks to Adall's suggestions is that Flameshrine marking is still hard mode and there's loot a field for us to find thanks to Skysteel. appreciate y'all. Keep burnin' on, flameborn

[carmine scroll]

Loot?!

[brittle sluice]

L o o t

[carmine scroll]

LOOT!!!

[brittle sluice]

loot gobbie noises

[carmine scroll]

incoherent squeeling

[brittle sluice]

wheeze aight gonna get back to the hardmode clear of shrines, goob luck y'all

[carmine scroll]

hardmode?

[empty basalt]

I still would like to see a sandbox mode

[analog sail]

What Would That Be Like ?

[empty basalt]

Just be able to build anything without having to have the resource

[fallen tundra]

Any news about Enshrouded release on ps5?

[wraith umbra]

not until after full release

[fallen tundra]

[brittle sluice]

eyup. Flameshrines don't get marked off when collected, so tracking the completion much like shroud roots or wells, or other areas doesn't get a 'check'. Per Adall's information and suggestions, the only way to track picking up the shrines for sparks is to do it manually. Screenshot and manual checking.

And since everything respawns with 'new' markers upon booting Enshrouded, it's apparently down to the player to track what shrines and sanctuaries have been found/collected.

[wraith umbra]

Expect to wait at least a year

[hexed ruin]

I think they said with full release, not sure about after

[wraith umbra]

Yes, that is correct, with full-release is the goal from the last news we have on it.

[brittle sluice]

Ergo, hardmode 'cause like hell I remember what spots I've visited and cleared without a checkmark or any other context reference that would make sense. Is what it is and I work towards overcoming it, which is why the suggestions I recieved were noted and not valued 'cause I already pretty much do the suggestions.

The game's tracking seems to be different so I figured I'd ask if there were bugs at play, and clearly not the case. Just means I've gotta do better for personal note taking

[wraith umbra]

FAQ - #game-faq message

CUB - #enshrouded-chat message

A little conflicting, but sometime around full release if not after for consoles.

[hexed ruin]

In the new roadmap they are letting us customise place-names on the map - is that gonna make things a bit easier?

[deep jungle]

If water is being added much later in game according to the roadmap, I’d love to see several ship builds added to the game.
Craftable boats in Valheim was the best idea they had and having a wider variety of ships from fluyt, sloop, yawl etc could be phenomenal.
A good way to work towards more resources and resource use as well.

[brittle sluice]

Oh exponentially. Especially since I'll mark high valued resources. But with the current issue where custom markers remove the ability to fast travel I can't trust that notation system.

[wraith umbra]

I don't think the map is really built for ship navigation. I think we're going to see some alpine lakes/rivers at best

[brittle sluice]

ayo, I'd love to build a nice cabin on an alpine lake. Fukkin' life goals

[ember canopy]

[astral hull]

Yeah I don’t think we’ll see maritime navigation unless there’s a large portion of sea in the middle of the map that we don’t know about

[wraith umbra]

You'd have to carve a large chunk of the map out for a body of water large enough to feel like a ship is worthy and that would seriously limit content

[brittle sluice]

Yup, or make it more 'longboat' style

[deep jungle]

The Map is set to increase my 80%. There is potential.

[wraith umbra]

No, we have the full map currently, we are just locked to 3/8ths of it

There really isn't any room for seafaring adventures

Just maybe a large lake northwest of the revelwood at best, but with not really anywhere to go

[brittle sluice]

be great if they replaced some of the red mycilium with water

[wraith umbra]

Well to be honest, that was water

[brittle sluice]

I figured that was the case but damn, they made it spicy XD

[wraith umbra]

very spore dense 🙂

[sudden drum]

Not to mention that there is a story-(and engine)-related reason why there is no water and it was probably never planned to implement water until the people on FeatureUpvote were let loose.

[misty sail]

Enshrouded inner earth DLC with underground sea would be possible ^^

[brittle sluice]

it's not the only thing dense. 🥲

[sudden drum]

And now we are already talking about seafaring

[wraith umbra]

Somethings are just better left to other games, not all games need to have all things. You kinda have to look at the game itself and think, 'what would boats really be good for here'. you're gonna land on not much

[brittle sluice]

honestly, I'd like to see this game with hot air balloons or zepplin for how that terrain works than boats

[wraith umbra]

I can already fly through the air for days

[brittle sluice]

yea but that takes stamina

[wraith umbra]

There is nowhere I cannot reach from the sky 🙂

[brittle sluice]

I'm working to that point, still don't detract from the statement that a hot air baloon or zepplin would be a unique feature to the game over a waterborne vessel

[wraith umbra]

Yeah I'd prefer those to a boat

[brittle sluice]

gotta be honest don't think I've seen many of those options in most of the games I've played

[wraith umbra]

blimps are common enough, but some kind of hot air balloon or even a one time use balloon that gets you high up, would be a neat introduction

[brittle sluice]

eh? Okay got me curious, what games have hot air balloons/blimps that let you explore with? 'cause clearly I'm missing out

[astral hull]

I used to use the steampunk mod on ark. It gave you a craftable hot air balloon. We used that thing like no other!! It was so much fun!! Until one day my friend drove it into the ocean and it exploded with all of our stuff on it 😂😂

[somber egret]

Agreed!

Except it would be SLOW

[wraith umbra]

Nearly every final fantasy game

[brittle sluice]

yoooooo valid. I enjoyed Argentavis too much to even consider that sorta option

[median zenith]

@nimble nova cc kikoo °L°

[brittle sluice]

I don't think The Garden from FF8 nor the Airship from FF7/10 quite counts as 'hot air balloons' like

[wraith umbra]

Zeppelins my friend

[brittle sluice]

AH, fair

[wraith umbra]

I said hot air balloons were more unique 🙂

Well I didn't say that, but I implied it

[brittle sluice]

listen I just wanna see more danger bread baskets in the sky 🥲

any case, Enshrouded is disagreeing with me about the springlands shrines so gonna try to figure out what the hell I'm missing

[plain scroll]

Personallly i think you guys should prioritize optimization over new content the game has a hardtime running on my setup with a 4070ti and a i9-10900k. Hopefully you guys can prioritize performance while at the same time releasing new content.

[quiet geyser]

The game runs differently to a lot of people with similar setups. Mine runs fine besides the texture not rendering and the map fps

[plain scroll]

massive frame drops for me when im in the starting area

[hearty pond]

i would frame it as the world is slowing down for you

[kind bluff]

Any chance of you increasing max lvl

[brittle sluice]

I'm running an RX6750 trio and an I-9900KS so I'm...kinda concerend for ya

[timid plank]

So turn down your settings, problem solved

[plain scroll]

i tried that i think its more then that

[brittle sluice]

I can run at max settings without clip or lag, so if you're running better specs I'm very concern

[kind bluff]

Update your drivers

[brittle sluice]

actually, do you run on an SSD or an HDD?

[kind bluff]

This should only affect loading times

[brittle sluice]

sure but I'm running legit lower spec hardware and my rig is running highest quality graphical gameplay with no issue.

[kind bluff]

Its probably that they need to update their drivers

[brittle sluice]

...People don't religously update their drivers?! ;^;

[kind bluff]

No

[brittle sluice]

I'mma go cry in my padded corner

[plain scroll]

nvme gen 4 it runs ok but idk i just cant really get it over 60 idk why.

[brittle sluice]

you're not outrunning that fact that an RX 6750 Gaming Trio is outdoing the quality of a Gen4. Please check your drivers and update. You're running better gear than I am and performing less, something is a problem.

[snow mantle]

what cpu?

[brittle sluice]

me or Chick?

[snow mantle]

im running a ryzen 7 and 4070 and mine runs fine, tho im not trying to run over 60fps either

[snow mantle]

chick

[brittle sluice]

gotche, thank

[snow mantle]

question, do you guys have just 1 base that is fully decked out or do you build multiple? i feel like it would be a headache to really deck out another base to the same extent as my main one

[restive kernel]

Has anyone else had an issue on a dedicated server where you're in the shroud (not deadly) and you start taking massive damage, and someone else on the server, across the map, also takes massive damage at the same time?

[sudden drum]

One main base, many "travel points"

[snow mantle]

yea thats what im doing

but my base is still at the very start of the game lol. id like to find a better/different location but ive invested so much at this point

[brittle sluice]

I actually have one central spot that I've put comfort into, the others are valuable resource points either gold chests or global resource

[cold violet]

I only update when i notice issues lol

[brittle sluice]

I'd say you're noticing an issue .-. (disregard you're not Chick)

[sudden drum]

"Damn this game has shitty graphics, better refund" (was actually old driver)

[cold violet]

This probably happens more than we could ever imagine

[plain scroll]

Getting around 50-70fps under extremem load with DLAA. With dlss performance I get around 70-100. But why does it still look like it's performing the same? Is it the special effects

[brittle sluice]

okay so let me pose the the question again: what's your CPU?

[sudden drum]

Oh no pls....

[plain scroll]

I9-10900K

[brittle sluice]

you...should be out performing me by leaps and bounds then

[plain scroll]

Yeah hmm maybe it is the engine

[elder parrot]

There is diminishing returns at a point

[brittle sluice]

I'm stuck on the LGA 1151 I9 for CPU and I'm midgrade at best for gpu

[plain scroll]

I have ddr4 3600MHZ 32gb ram

[sudden drum]

I would argue that the biggest performance indicator is resolution.
Set ingame render scale to 90%, be surprised.

[cold violet]

Do you have issues in other games? Maybe your set-up needs some tuning

[brittle sluice]

oh that might be it? I've got 64 gb ram

[plain scroll]

But I mean 100% max 2560X1440P with dlss performance

[brittle sluice]

is this game ram intensive?

[plain scroll]

I might get more then

[signal cobalt]

minimum is 16 GB RAM

[elder parrot]

Ive a 11400f, i had a 2060 super and got 50-60 fps at 1440p dlls balanced (game first downscale arpund 80%)

Changed to a 4060ti, ssme res, but can internal res 100%, dlls quality, im at 90-110 fps.

(16 gb @ 3200mhz)

[cold violet]

Even recommended is 16 tho, so 32 should be plenty. I run 32 and do fine but i hard lock at 60, especially un-optimized early access games

[brittle sluice]

so live metrics: I top out at 54% gpu, 22% of my cpu, and 15% of my Ram

[elder parrot]

Total cpu wont 100% unless a game can use all cores

[brittle sluice]

yup

[elder parrot]

Most games dont multithread thst much, its hard to do thst and also keep framepace in sync

[sudden drum]

It's very tight because the game itself eats up to 10 GB.
And your system and other programs still need a bit. And inexperienced users in particular have all sorts of crap going on.
That's why many people have problems with exactly 16 GB.

[brittle sluice]

think most that thread like that are the high intensity games anyway, yeah?

[cold violet]

Correct. Thats looking for 16gb of FREE ram, not what you have installed lmao

[sand nexus]

anyone got a large image of the roadmap? 😂
both on the news page are minimal 😂

[elder parrot]

90 to 110 fps with 16gb, enshrouded is not bottlenecked with 16gb

[brittle sluice]

lots to process, lots to load, all at once

[cold violet]

I just zoomed in dude lol

[sand nexus]

nvm -.-

[brittle sluice]

someone is clearly not used to using a magnifying glass

[haughty widget]

open the original in browser, then click it to zoom

[sudden drum]

You usually only have CPU-intensive games with complex/intensive AI. So, for example, strategy games.

[restive kernel]

well since it's just me I'll fill out a bug report

[sand nexus]

you're not wrong 😂

[elder parrot]

(Enshrouded also doesnt eat up 10gb on all systems, as most games it uses more when available, needs less when not available (within reason)

[plain scroll]

Gpu UT 99.0%
Cpu between 4.5-11%

[brittle sluice]

...b r u h what

[sudden drum]

Restart server?

[plain scroll]

@brittle sluice Utilization

[brittle sluice]

ye, I see you brotha but I'm still stressed and conerned

[restive kernel]

tried that...it's just so inconsistent it's hard to know if it's "fixed"

[plain scroll]

Yeah we need frame generation

[cold violet]

GPUs normally max out. You paid for a whole gfx card, don't you want to use the whole thing?

[plain scroll]

Dlaa with frame gen will look fantastic

[brittle sluice]

No, I really don't 'cause that's heat problems. If my GPU is hitting 99% ut, I'm turning my game graphics down

[elder parrot]

I get so good frames on my card withput framegen tho

[plain scroll]

You get more then 60 with dlaa?

[brittle sluice]

I want framerate and playability over cool graphics

[plain scroll]

Me too.

[elder parrot]

I mean. U need 40 series for dlss framegen, and i have a weaker 40 series card

(Fsr 3 framegen is agnostic ofc tho)

[normal hornet]

Can I lure animals to my “house” or am I stupid ?

[plain scroll]

Yeah enshrouded definitely could use frame gen

[brittle sluice]

still don't explain why my ass runnin' a 6750 xt is out running someone with a higher grade card

[cold violet]

So long as it runs within normal operating temps let her rip i was always told by tech guys. They were designed to run at 100%

Every game ive played even dumb little indie games run my shit at 99%

[elder parrot]

Dlaa is adding extra stress, dlss modes is the ones lowering res to give more frames

[plain scroll]

My gpu gets around 70-80c 100% fan speed and my cpu always hovers around 70c

[sudden drum]

Oh oh oh...
Can you PLS explain that to me.
What is this depending on? Like if I have two systems and they are completely identical except one has 8GB RAM and one has 16 GB RAM and the game suddenly needs "less" RAM?
Pls explain 😮

[cold violet]

My set up runs 90c+ lol

I rarely see anything under 90

[brittle sluice]

I grew up with tech a touch different tho, get a card that can run stuff on a jog rather than a spring and you can outlast the Outmode Cycle for longer

[plain scroll]

Is it a laptop?

[brittle sluice]

but uh, frankly I grew up being able to walk into a warehouse to get components so that's sorta not the case anymore clearly

[cold violet]

It doesn't matter when gfx cards are usually obsolete well before it dies from regular use

[cold violet]

No just AMD lol

[elder parrot]

Well ms sarcastic, 16 gb systems doesnt automatically eat 10gb, a 32gb system can allocste more, and an 8gb is not recommended, but will allocate less yes.

That does not mean 16gb is struggling in enshrpuded. Cus its not.

[brittle sluice]

doesn't that depend on the engine and version updates? I was running solid frames even on what was considered outmoded gpu's just in tweaking settings and graphical settings

[plain scroll]

Yeah don't laugh but back in the day my amdfx 8350 actually melted my motherboard but somehow it was still functioning. Amd gets hot

[brittle sluice]

I'm good with hardware but I'm a bit of a potato in understanding how the software meshes

[cold violet]

Yea AMD runs the best when you can cook an egg on the hardware, otherwise you aint doing it right

[elder parrot]

Singlecore perf can be somewhat important in a voxel-based game and can affect resulting perf

[brittle sluice]

That was a legit problem in the 90's

[sudden drum]

But but...what happens then exactly....I mean the game needs some amount of RAM, so where do the "data go" when there is less RAM? I don't understand!

Would it be better to have less RAM so the game also needs less RAM? 😮 Yes?

[elder parrot]

Its just you that made a lazy statement that wasnt true, dont need to play sarcastic

[plain scroll]

So does everybody think getting more ram is a waste of money? 32 to 64

[cold violet]

There are clear exceptions with some real winners like the 3090 for example that were just well built cards, but generally speaking you arent going to play a new AAA game on max graphics with anything older than 4 years

[brittle sluice]

I did tho?

[cold violet]

32 to 64 isnt worth it imo

[plain scroll]

Ok

[elder parrot]

Yeah atm

[cold violet]

That would be one of those exceptions to the rules my friend, like i stated about clear outlier winners lol

[elder parrot]

People get 64gb ram and go 'u know this game need 30 gb min cus it uses that for me" 🤭

[brittle sluice]

gotcha, fair enough

[cold violet]

If you are super techy and very skilled at over clocking/under volting etc you can squeeze more out of it absolutely, but on average, 4 years and you gotta mvoe on to experience the ultra settings

[astral hull]

32-64 just kinda depends on the games you play. I upgraded because I had too many cities skylines mods and it did make a big difference for that game particularly but not for many of my other games.

[elder parrot]

Not understanding well, coded games will use as much ram as sensible when it has more, doesnt make it a need
