How is it? How long does the beta go? I wanted to check it out but I'm back on shift

They have so many bugs to catch - just sad to see caterpillars aren't featured yet. πŸ˜”

Rather should say, they have a decent amount of variety at the moment...

#

Palia is great, but it feels like a demo. Only 2 zones.

#

inventory management can be way better. After fishing for 25 minutes my bags are full. Then it takes 30 minutes to cook the fish as you can only cook 1 recipe at the time w ith a campfire. The cooking at the stove is really fun to do with friends and alone.

#

I also don't like it that there aren't any catch up mechanics. Crops stop growing after 1 ingame day = 1 hour when offline. Wood and ore processing machine can only be fed with raw materials for like 1 hour worth.

#

Climbing and gliding of things is fun.

I think you can build more campfires..

I really hope it is an oldschool open beta and not a soft release. Though I don't expect any new zones or major changes. I've been in alpha and non of us have seen any other zones.

Also. the catch up mechanic is dependant on the machine. I overnight my worms and other things like silver bars which take 3 hours per bar. For example, I left this overnight and came back to it just now

#

thats what these devs get for charging for early access, for what is supposed to be a free to play game

old saddle
#

dunno, free to play usually means other players pay for you.
What is an early adoption apckage different from a purchase from the cash-shop after launch? When early adoption packages comes with early access and some early adopters goodies at launch, I don't see why that should be a reason for negative reactions.

#

I hope the reactions are about the state of the game and not they had to pay pay for early access. Otherwise their parents should take their creditcards back.

I had a hard time with the expansions after WotLK. Luckily Classic and then Hardcore Classic came around to consume me..

When Classic came out with Burning Crusade Classic.. I saw the writing on the wall and realzied the original WoW game was where my heart was.. and that while Burning Crusade was a fantastic follow-up.. I didn't want to play past that.

old saddle
#

understandable

craggy egret
#

oh for clarity, just because I had a hard time with them, didnt' mean I didn't play them. I paid for every expansion that they came out with including the very last one.. that I ended up never playing.

old saddle
#

I did not get the last xpac

#

didn't like the direction they went

That's why I ended up not playing it.. when it launched is when I said goodbye to my subscription.

ill be honest, I somehow doubt that the communities will be remotely similar, since this isnt an mmo, closer to valheim in energy

So, valheim addicts. A question about terrain. Does it reset after a while and will grass grow an manipulated terrain?

lunar flame
#

Nope.. It's static until something affects it.

full acorn
#

Can you return it to its original state?

lunar flame
#

You can fill in holes, but the only way to properly reset it is with server commands... or certain mods.

#

Ahh, you're on Xbox, right?

Yeah

I don't think it's majorly different from PC in that respect.

You can't fill in holes without mods sadly.

But you can use the hoe to raise ground and level.. but it won't be perfect usually.

The hoe will raise land, but it still ^^

morphs the ground.

The mod I have kept alive, OCD Heim, has a terrain restore tool that restores the terrain back to it's original look and feel, except for the metal node that might have been there.

So... Will this eventually break?

Or it it just weathering?

lunar flame

Which means they are easier to break if you get raided, or mobbed.

Awesome, that's what I seemed to have worked out. They seemed to be "weathered" essentially. I sort of chose a really wide part of the river to do this... fun 😁

#

Thanks for the clarification πŸ‘

Yeah, water and rain will do that.

Putting a roof over it will protect against the rain, but not against sea water.

I'm debating currently if I should make towers with a bridge higher up so boats can pass

The xbox series S is less than Β£300. I think I'd struggle to find a PC for that.

Plus, a controller is a lot more comfortable than than a keyboard

Finally got a roof on

lunar flame
#

I could build a PC for less... but it wouldn't be as good. Lol

#

Noice

craggy wing
#

You can use a controller on PCs, though. The main point would be building a PC for the price of a console. Some companies are selling consoles on a loss to guarantee market, so competing with that is hard (plus inflation, GPUs being expensive, etc)

The survival game genre is missing a MMO where you can do everything that this game is showing, but in server with 10000 players. Really working together. Valheim is supper nice, but get boring very fast because it is basically a single player game. If this game want to last for longer, consider having repetead content that are nice to do with several players togehter. Also consider the PK system with bag loot. So players can kill others, but became a target for everybody else, same as in TIBIA.

The way they absolutely ham-fisted the changes to building stuff... was truly horrendous.

finite saffron
# lunar flame No, no... The choices they made for the game itself, not the running of.

I didn't follow it all the way to the end, but I did follow it for a few years. As someone who has also worked on live service games in the past, I can say that often seemingly nonsensical decisions are a developers desperate attempt to fix some kind of fundamental issue that is killing a game. Usually they end up as pretty desperate gambles, and often don't work out.

From watching robocraft, the impression I got was that they probably had awful player retention, and it also seemed like they had awful f2p conversion rates (this is, convincing a free player to start spending money in the game). Because they were constantly changing core parts of the game and changing the monetization model.

Those kind of changes tend to piss existing players off, but chances are if they felt the need to make them the game was probably dying either way, so that was their attempt to save it.

lunar flame
#

Yeah

#

They totally changed the build system and drove away a lot of players.

finite saffron
#

Yeah I remember that I think, my hunch is that a lot of new players probably got bored and uninstalled at the point where they started building things, so they tried to oversimply it to fix that.

# craggy wing No way someone took your name on purpose, right?

So.. if you peer in to my discord history, you'll see I've been a member of Discord since almost the beginning of time. I've had the Vapok moniker since I was 14 before any of this was even a thought. So largely, up until about 9 months ago when I started abandoning social media platforms, you could find me on Vapok.

But Discord.. oh discord. In the beginning. 5 characters was too short. I needed to be six. Same for some other platforms.. So .. then I made my name VapokRocks (because I'm _awesome), and that stuck.. Discord: VapokRocks#1337. Anyways... I didn't even think about Discord relaxing the rules... and sometime along the way.. someone took up "Vapok#2134".

When Discord announced they were doing the whole switching of user names and that the OLDEST of OLDEST users... would get to pick theirs first... I was all excited to get "vapok".

What they FAILED to mention, was that they locked ALL names in front of the hash sign, and reserved them for the people that had that.

So I tried despreately to secure "vapok" but I couldn't, because some knucklehead who joined in 2018, had "Vapok#2134" and even though I got to pick first.. I couldn't.

I was pissed.

Good stuff. I got into Steam around TF2 Scout update. Early 2009 or so

yeah, I did competitive Day of Defeat and Counter Strike for a little while... but most of my efforts during that time was helping out working on MetaMod and AMX Mod, and running game servers for Skullz.

If the change made any sense I wouldn't have cared as much, but it was so pointless and stupid and ended up confusing users even more than if they had just done nothing... Despite the supposed reason for the change being to make the platform "more intuitive"

I still struggle to understand why they did it. The reasons they gave made no sense, and I imagine it had to have also hurt their profits? A lot of people bought nitro specifically so they could choose their identifier

Good premise, lots of potential. Still needs allot of work.

sudden compass
# pale adder Sunkenlands seemed more like an Alpha.

And that's exactly the kind of game EA is meant for. Not for such big fish like EPIC, RSI or BSG (just to name a few), which use EA to justify bugs. Unfortunately, the EA label has no standard and no control, which is why it is extremely misused, which in turn leads to players losing understanding for EA, which very often leads to inappropriate review bombing, because small games, that use the actual intended EA, do not work properly in some places or lack on content.
EA was actually intended as a kind of crowd funding. Pre-access to a very early version, which is then developed together with the community. And not as an excuse for putting content bloat ahead of working features.

Here's some more Steam Trivia... While Stam launched in September 2003, the first game to be offered on Steam didn't occur until November 2004, that game was Half-Life 2. The first mod released on Steam was for Day of Defeat. Steam was originally designed to be a patch platform for source engine games, and they had intentions of it having a paid subscription to access originally.

#

Dunno, Starfield is a bit of a weird one for me...

At first I was like.. "OOHHHH! Space RPG.. "
But then the game was like.. "Single-player only."
And I was like.. "kthxbai."

Not denying it looks great, but solo? Hard pass for me.

tepid wadi
#

I feel that, I've been wanting multiplayer mostly lately. Gimme a good space game with a crew where we fly around and do missions together.

craggy egret
#

Honestly, after playing Starfield last night.. I reinstalled No Man's Sky.

finite saffron
#

I don't really know of many space games where you actually play in a crew though

tepid wadi
#

Or maybe my brain just picks up on the patterns that NMS creates too easily or something, I dunno

finite saffron
#

nms is quite repetitive yeah

tepid wadi
finite saffron
#

Star citizen is probably the closest you'll get if you have a nasa pc that can actually run it

tepid wadi
#

Elite Dangerous technically has crews, but because the game isn't really built around it, it feels like you're better off just playing "solo together" like a lot of games that support crews

#

It's something I think you have to design the experience around to really get the value out of.

finite saffron
#

Yeah I loved ED but the multicrew feature was a bit underwhelming

tepid wadi
#

I feel like ED really nails the "low sci-fi" aspect of space games in a way that is cool. How you have to pilot your ship, worry about expenses, all of that is really well done. But playing with your friends isn't a very good experience.

finite saffron
#

Yep, it sorta ends up being a singleplayer experience disguised as an mmo lol

#

but I still loved it

lunar flame
tepid wadi
#

Unfortunately that's how a lot of multiplayer games are.

#

For some reason we're developing MMOs that don't include dynamic social interactions

lunar flame
#

I don't see that will ever improve, considering they are dismissive of ancient bugs.

tepid wadi
#

Even devotedly social games like Palia don't really give you much reason to engage with other players in a meaningful way. Like my friends can come to my farm and help me do it, but I can only have 9 farm plots that take me 30 seconds to harvest, so what's the point?

finite saffron
tepid wadi
#

Sounds about right. Albion is also a game that never felt super friendly to small group play. I have 3-6 regular gaming friends that I do stuff with, I don't have the energy to engage with a giant guild just so I can make progress

finite saffron
#

It's actually much better for that now, they've given quite a bit of content for smaller groups to engage with. I was never part of guilds that were bigger than 1-200. I hated the mega guilds because it just felt like you were part of an ant colony or something

lunar flame
tepid wadi
#

That's good, I haven't really looked at it in a while. I agree about mega guilds. Designing a game to be rewarding for both small groups and big zergs is a super big challenge though.

finite saffron
#

My favorite genre of game for socialization that never seems to work out is the "mmo roguelite" genre. Realm of the mad god, Survived By, and SteamBirds Alliance were all incredibly social and had such positive communities.

Unfortunately the second 2 never found success and shut down pretty quickly after launch, and rotmg has gotten a bit uh... mobile gamey.

#

It's a fantastic game if you can stomach the payment model though

The inventory management in Starfield is the worst implementation I've ever seen.

The space combat is clunky. And forget about it if you thought this was a Space Sim. Go play No Man's sky for that. This is a fast travel Mario map game where you just fast travel, see the same ship animation taking off every time, and the only "exploration" is walking around planets.

craggy egret
craggy egret
#

A couple things.. one. I play on mouse,keyboard, and a 32:9 aspect ratio super ultra wide monitor (the game forces me into 21:9 aspect.

  1. The inventory is a complete full screen take over, that requires several clicks in order to see and peer into inventory. This wastes time.
  2. Inventory management, and having to scroll through a vertical list of blocky boxes that are not space optimized, is mind wrecking.
  3. Inventory transfering between minions is convulted and tricky. I often want to see what's in my inventory before I transfer, requiring me to have to swap back and forth, which is like 5 key strokes.
  4. When trasnfer, the action and UI is identical to when I'm equiping or unequiping, and I often forget that i'm transfer, and want to equip something, only to have it get transferred to the minion. So then I have to do multiple key clicks to get that item back into my inventory.. then 4 clicks to get out of the inventory screen, then 4 clicks to get back into inventory screen where that item was.. just to equip it.

I've been playing unmodded so far, but just added some UI stuff to try

so i sat down and played Desynced for a while last night.. What an interesting, complex, chillaxing game.

It most closely resembles Factorio in terms of game play loops, but where Factorio took logic systems and stopped at being able to add and compare numbers for networks, Desync expands and turns their logic system into a full blown programming language.

The survival game genre is missing a MMO where you can do everything that this game is showing, but in server with 10000 players. Really working together. Valheim is supper nice, but get boring very fast because it is basically a single player game. If this game want to last for longer, consider having repetead content that are nice to do with several players togehter. Also consider the PK system with bag loot. So players can kill others, but became a target for everybody else, same as in TIBIA.

# craggy egret I've mentioned before that NewWorld could've been that... add in base building.....

New World basicly had base and townbuilding in the first closed alpha πŸ˜‰ But they removed it due to a huge amount of players who didn't like PvP games or survival games and yet signed up for such a game and got lucky to get invited (since amazon ran the route, they prefer to invite randomly instead of people who actually like that genre and got experience).
Basicly the major part of closed alpha testers for a survival-pvp-crafting-mmorpg have been pve-themepark-players.... and they cried a lot about pvp in this pvp game and basebuilding in a survival game, so amazon even removed that and made it only optional through factions and build fixed towns for everyone πŸ˜‰

I've tinkered in Sunkenland with a couple buddies. It's still in its infancy. Lots of very rough edges. There's issues with non-public servers being accessed by ne'er-do-wells. They were causing a ruckus and spawning so many boats that the server just refuses to run.

#

But, outside of the rough edges and security breaches, it's a decent little survival game.

If you don’t mind a little pixelated graphics and a bit clunky combat it’s a lot of fun. You can build some cool stuff in that game.

Main thing that confused me about that change is that, even assuming greed, I still can't make sense of it. Unity takes a 0% royalty fee on all profits made with their software, vs an engine like Unreal which takes 5% royalties off of all profits beyond 1M.

I'm very confused that Unity decided to do this weird nonsensical policy before they did any royalties, even just a 1% royalty would have probably been more profitable than this change, and I don't think anybody would have complained because that's pretty reasonable.

I mean like I said even assuming they want that cash-money, Unreals business model is waaaay more profitable than this, and it pisses a lot less developers off lol

I had the opposite issue,
We had a portal and I destroyed it cuz my portal gazebo was getting clogged.
One person's save got Corrupted and respawned back on the wrong side of the portal. (Where there no longer ger was one) and we had to have a 4.5hour adventure just to save them, which inevitably caused them to not want to play anymore and thr group kinda just stopped playing all together shortly after

Ah but - it's not based on profit but based on revenue. So a game could be over the unity threshold on revenue but actually in the red....particularly after you include the unity fee per download. This reminds me of the Wizard's of the Coast/Hasbro playbook earlier this year. They were also based on revenue and targeted things promoted and raising funding on Kickstarter in particular. That funding then became part of the revenue for the creator and part of the charging algorithm. I imagine unity would be the same. Hasbro backed off so it will be interesting to see what unity do.

finite saffron
#

What's weird is that unity actually doesn't take any revenue cut whatsoever, and neither does this new policy. Which is incredibly odd because it wouldn't be that unusual if they did, it's something the Unreal engine already does (5 percent). This new policy is based strictly on installs, which might not actually correlate to revenue.

pearl mauve
#

Yes but the charging starts based on revenue. Then the actual fees paid is based on installs..........I agree the correlation is very ..um..vague. As a stats person I am not impressed lol.

finite saffron
#

Yeah their pricing model is very odd honestly. It's very costly for small devs and it nets them an incredibly low percentage of profits from big projects. Compared to Unreal whose licensing fees are almost 4 times lower, and is even completely free to small devs, but then starts taking a decent cut (5 percent) on large scale projects. Which seems like a more logical setup to me

pearl mauve
#

My reading would be - hey you raised $300k on kickstarter to make your game - congrats you now get charged the unity fee per install as you have generated over $200k in revenue........

The silly thing, at least from what I've heard within the industry (rumors mostly), is that their original goal was never even to target indie devs in the first place. The changes were mostly targeted at massive successful free to play games, like genshin impact, mobile games (unity is a very popular mobile engine), etc.

But the change and documentation were so incredibly poorly implemented that it did not come across that way at all and created this whole PR nightmare.

Just a bit shocking to me that something like this could make it to live without anybody being like "hey uh, can we make some tweaks to this first?"

I find it funny how people are so different when it comes to game preferences. Like.. I took a look at BG3 and went.. "Nah.." Not my thing. But other games I am absolutely obsessive with.

untold lynx
#

I like how it weaves story and gameplay and general; exploration. It's a straight up RPG, but it feels very free-form in a way (especially in the last area, Baldur's Gate, which has a lot fewer combat encounters unless you actively look for trouble)

#

want to do big story things? You can progress the main quests.
wanna mess some people up? Just wander into a cave or an enemy camp or whatever.
wanna play dress up? Yes, here are 38 wardrobes for you to pilfer and steal from, to put your characters in the nicest outfits

#

a little bit of everything for everyone

#

or rather, a great deal of everything for everyone

craggy egret
#

I think it's less the RPG aspect as it it the mechanics of the game itself. Like I spent 17 years with World of Warcraft... loved that game.. but the movement and approach that BG3 took, was not my favorite. Similar issue with Diablo IV... I just couldn't get into the game.. I wanted to.. I wanted to like it.. but yeah meh.

oh yeah while it has some theme park aspects I guess? It is not an MMO by any stretch of the imagination
