Yeah we literally got crossplay a month ago and several other updates this year.
French š
lol
And this isnāt the end of it to donāt forget
It's all French to me š
i don't speak that language what does it say?
It's a shame my francais is a tad rusty
So, hear me out:
- On the NMS homepage there's still NMS: Beyond
- Desolation is part of the Beyond set of updates, along with Crossplay, Exo Mechs, Living Ship, etc
- Beyond was released in August 2019
??? - Something, something, August 2020 ?
I prefer bits and pieces
Nice š
I keep expecting horrors to crawl out of the semifunctional teleports in abandoned stations. Or terrible transporter accidents if you use them.
I have only done one freighter and handed to Guild Vendor. What reward do Scrap vendor give?
I mean I doubt they would leave their anniversary uneventful right..?
ttrue
i love how without failure every time NMS gets any update we crash the website. it's like a tradition now.
but they changed their update format, no?
What does the guild envoy give? Scrao vendor just gives you loads of money
I cant see them do an update on the scale of 2.0 anymore
They are still doing a big summer update Sohail
wait this isnt the big summer update?
@idle jay source ?
I doubt it
maybe not on the same scale
Guild Vendor gives reputation
Wait HUH
smaller scale and then they add on top of that
they did changed it
This ISNT the big summer update?
before it was 6 months of silence then big update
I seriously doubt they'll do a big update
then 2 small updates then another big one
now they do small ones and really close to each other
only 1-2 months away
Not sure there will be a ābigāupdate like they did before.
this update is disappointing. Planets are still repetitive.
god i remeber those 6 months of silence then when summer hits its like all hell broke loose
@trim dune
Wow, it is free people, be a little appreciative
Iād certainly like a big update. But Iām fine with smaller regular updates as well.
I prefer this over 6 months of radio silence
if it's free that doesn't mean we can't give feedback
So, you can have a stack of 25 Emergency Broadcast Receivers. The first is $5m, the second is $10m, the third is $20m, and the fourth and beyond are $30m.
so is the consensus here that the leaker was right or wrong?
true but it doesent mean u can just shit on their work
those guys work there ass for the game for the last 4 years
would most of us have done that and not run with the money?
sure i would have
yes and as a consumer we should be able to tell them if the community likes something or not after all it is a company and we are the consumer
here's something to think about, talk about something that hasnt been done a hundred times
This updates good, combat improvements were a MUST.
Didnāt they mention a little while ago they would release features as they are ready? This might be part of the big update and they decided to release it since it was ready
Variety is something people want for years now. Of course there will be a "boiling point" when they ignore it for this long.
ok soo lets just say all their work is shit and they should not do whatever the fuck they want
the improvements are the weapon stats, right?
they buffed infra knife so much. i love it
i think you're taking it to an extreme
people are allowed to be disappointed
can actually hit targets now
@idle jay thatās what Iām thinking as well
no i just say that not all the time we have to be the coming with ideas
THEY CAN too
they do what they want with this game that their game the one they created
nice hidden update: you can no longer demolish knowledge stones by driving over them š
wait you could before?
i really enjoy the update but that doesn't mean other people have to. A bunch of people have been requesting better terrain generation for a long time longer than the Dead space update
I gotta say even on my launch day PS4 the new lighting effects are very pretty
also thanks for pinging me on Steam @tepid iris I legit would have missed this
There is a difference between giving negative feedback on a work that has been published, and given negative feedback on a work that has been published because it was not the work you wanted to be published
At least what they could do is tell us that they don't want to do a variety update anymore.
yeah but it desent mean ur request will never be heard
wait but isn't the leaker still right, given we got crossplay and a combat update
idk why everyone's up in arms
people asked for dungeons type shit and customization for freighter colors
for years
we got it.
At least what they could do is tell us that they don't want to do a variety update anymore.
world doesnt work like that bro
they suffered enough
wait but isn't the leaker still right, given we got crossplay and a combat update No. The leak was based on an image made by a fan on reddit. It's wishful BS.
just let them die in peace
u cant please all the comunity there always will be a part that wont like what happen
but how long have people been asking for better generation
@mighty rampart ignoring it isn't a solution either
years
no need for a solution for a non problem
talkin about the 4chan leak from like may
Yes that was fake.
well the vast majority of the community wants a variety update
Terrain generation and asset variety is probably a fairly big task, and if that's the case it's likely to take a bit longer, but in order to keep us interested they are working on other stuff in parallel
Boys
@mighty rampart you like seeing the same mushrooms and plants since release ?
Problem with a generation update is that it would frack up all peoples' bases and would require a universe reset.
soo the ones that wanted this kind of updates are wrong?
i understand that but bein claiming people are just shitting on the devs work because they didn't enjoy they update isn't really that good of an argument.
I think it's time to over-analyze the Desolation trailer š
I dont really care about it that's not what the game is about
the only people that are right aere the one who said variation?
and not other shit to add?
soo the ones that wanted this kind of updates are wrong? This is why the summer update / proc gen update push annoys me.
@mighty rampart it is about exploration ...
It's not that I don't want it, but that people shit on everything else before even giving it a shot.
I dont really care about it that's not what the game is about
@mighty rampart Pretty sure the game is about whatever the devs make it to be.
because nothing else will matter for u until its variation
it could be a faction update adding wars with faction
it could be cities updates
exploration isnt only about seeing 1 million varieties of tree
Why aren't we allowed to request features?
@fast terrace there is at least an underscore in there
Why aren't we allowed to request features? You are. And other people are too. Like a lot of features that made it into this update.
a better proc gen will make the game 10x times better. Seeing people against it is very strange
and what looks like an exclamation point
I'm not against it I just dont care for that
well why is @hybrid pendant annoyed by people who want a proc gen update?
a better proc gen will make the game 10x times better. Seeing people against it is very strange People aren't against proc gen. People are against the constant nagging and whining.
Jordan is forever annoyed
Also pretty sure that when variation update comes, people are still gonna be salty because it won't be exactly like they imagined it to.
because that is mainly the game
u wiill soo no its not the variation update
Also pretty sure that when variation update comes, people are still gonna be salty because it won't be exactly like they imagined it to. That too.
u will get a war update u will say omg no its not the variation update
lmao pretty much true
u will get spce legs u will be like OMG NO not the variation update
I want more terrain variety and flora and fauna updates as much as anyone, but I'd rather they take their time and do it right, while keeping us interested with these 'smaller' updates
honestly war update would be pretty fucking lit
People will be extremely happy if they did a variety update
that the problem
that's why I only care for content update like this one
proc gen dungeons has been such a long requested feature
not a single update will matter except variation even if its something that could add something interesting to the game
granted its not planetside, but its still there
People will be extremely happy if they did a variety update
@wise hill Pretty sure it still will be a lot of "STILL NO VOLCANOES" or sth.
there will always be those fans
soo living ships doesent matter exo mech doesent matter crossplay doesent matter Desolation doesent matter
only variation matters
People expect that the variation (if and whenever it comes) will create 15 quintillion Pandoras from Avatar
No one is saying that
and hello games proved that by having proc freighters cargo holds
ohh yeah what else u would want apart from a variation update?
People are only upset now because they thought this update was gonna be bigger than it was
yeah no one said they don't matter
and what if u geted a war update u be like that not what i want
From what I've seen anyway
why did they reduce color and terrain variation with NEXT update. Why not add more instead ? that is what stared this whole variety update
they may be doing REAL procgen - the superformula is available again so implementing that is going to open up so many possibilities - but it's a massive change to how things are done now, so it'll take time (guessing here, admittedly)
"getting rid of proc gen" lol not quite
People are only upset now because they thought this update was gonna be bigger than it was Which is their problem for setting the wrong expectations. The team CLEARLY said they were doing smaller updates this year over and over again. Some bigger in scale than EXO Mech like today yes, but not Beyond level.
ah yes they got rid of proc gen
np @mighty rampart š
ohh yeah what else u would want apart from a variation update?
@hybrid pendant honestly? Difficulty upgrade. Make Survival feel like you are fighting for your life. Make me hide in the cave for hours trying to calculate the run distance to the next cave because the heat will justs melt my suit in seconds (if the terrors don't eat me alive first)
aight im a go take a shower honestly im more interested in the trailer image right now
@sand karma you are correct, this is the fans fault, not the devs
@pure orbit ur right that why i loove desolation
also little detail: uncover ancient bones now requires 12 bones. After collecting them you'll need to show them to a random npc you scan as an extra step.
also little detail: uncover ancient bones now requires 12 bones. After collecting them you'll need to show them to a random npc you scan as an extra step. Oooh!
the fact that every planet has the same sunset color is BS. look at Mars, it has a different sunset compared to earth. why does NMS has the same earth like sunset on every planet.
The new Nexus mission to scan creatures a pain when the planet it sends you to has no creatures to scan
i feel like groundhog day at this point
obviously
Oh I do have to try the new Nexus mission as well. I keep forgetting how much little things this update has added beyond the freighters. š
its a done to death topic
because i see the same topic and at the end it doesent progress to anything
half the reason I quit the nms channels
other half being no interesting updates since 2.2
well i left for a month nothing has changed still the same topic lol
Yeah I half regret coming back to Discord as well for that reason tbh
Well this says something. People rally want a variation update
yeah
and if u ask it 1000 times its really gonna change
better ask it 2000 times
maybe it will work this time?
Yes or better even yell at everyone who enjoys other things
again, there's nothing wrong with people wanting a variation update
This "complaining" won't stop until the do something or say something about a variation update
like, do you want everyone to just shut up about it?
I mean the patch notes for today weren't even out and people were already saying it was the worst thing ever. I would like a variation update eventually too, but not at the cost of everything else.
yeah well if u complain about something for months
Because by that logic that can just stop updating this game and release no man's sky 2 with new proc gen in two/three years from now.
i mean why would u ask something 1000 times?
There are the complainers and there are people who want to see the game improve
when they clearly have ears?
everyone wants to see the game improve
Some people just like whining for the sake of it
yeah but asking the same shit everyday doesent seem to progress anything
but talking about the same old topic is so boring
A better proc gen will only make the game even better.
It's really not a big issue
let's talk about the actual new thing they added which isnt just 1 new toy to play with
Some people just like whining for the sake of it Yeah I can agree that is a different group from the people who just say they want better proc gen. But as soon as you start talking down all other updates it goes into the for the sake of it group. Because this is still improving the game and doesn't exclude proc gen coming.
not quite what I expected from this burial site š but nice
You got htat from a burial site?
Variation won't matter when people push 500+ hours in the game. They can create 15 completely new biomes. Hell even 40. Push 200 hours in and you'll see them all once again. And then it's going to be "not enough variation" once more.
Any game will become boring after 150+ hours, much less with the numbers people actually sprend in NMS.
i mean if burning an update down just because variation is not the update
like
living ships was a good update?
exo mech too
this one too ?
yep
i mean i know we always talk about the next update and the others
but we forget what we got soo far this year
I have an idea for a exocraft tech update
I didnt really like living ships/exo mech updates
i mean we got crossplay
both were pretty shafted
neither tbh
i never thought crossplay would come
in Command & Conquer, there was a tank called the MARV, and it could "marvest"
crossplay was great and this update brought some nice things
crossplay update is great but not something I care for personally
so basically when the MARV rode over resources, it collected them
wouldn't a cool exocraft tech upgrade be that riding over things would farm the resources?
lesser than mining ofcourse, but would be cool I think
true but it still is something huge for the game as a whole
it conects all platform
and in a sense even desolation incorporate crossplay
Fuck yes to a farming update
Microsoft Azure to the rescue Jordan š
combine harvesters and everything
so basically when the MARV rode over resources, it collected them
yeah I had a similar idea to this, a tech upgrade for exocrafts that auto collects 50% of any resources that it breaks (the rocks and plants we stomp all over)
because u can explore those derelect freigjhters with other platforms
quick easy ferrite/carbon
fuck this looks soo much like alien isolation
woah it really does
well going by that logic every part of the game incorporates crossplay
yeah
and i love that the update after incorporates the previous update
crossplay incorporate the living ships and exo mechs with other platform
and now u can explore those creepy freighters with ur PS4 friends
missed opportunity for letting us use exomechs to jump aboard the derelict freighter
yeah I had a similar idea to this, a tech upgrade for exocrafts that auto collects 50% of any resources that it breaks (the rocks and plants we stomp all over) I'd love this!
no no, only letting you get on the freighter
but i love their way they are doing updates now its not like
ok u asked variation there u fucking go now stop whining
but you still need to get out of the mech to explore inside
exploring outside the freighter for good ol' metal scraps
bro honestly imagine some pacific rim shit going down with the mechs like massive species you can only kill with the mech
and u know
https://twitter.com/SpaceNms/status/1283790640753643520 the game looks insane now
how did we thought just adding bloom would make the game such better
Holy shit what
I went threw a portal and in photo mode it's showing a complete different address.. Is that normal?
in the freighter?
Wow that screenshot is awesome
Some super weird is going on here
when in space the coordinates get all wacky iirc, defaults to one of the planets in the system
Ah
That sounds about right
Especially with a procedurally generated freighter dungeon with a procedural story
Good stuff
Added hover text to all colour, texture and armour style options to the buttons in the customiser, allowing players to know ahead of time what option they are selecting.
BLESS
Canāt wait to try it later
woah they changed sentinel behaviour
for me this one
interesting
is an amazing adition When joining a multiplayer game from the frontend, if the player you are joining is on the Space Anomaly then you will spawn directly aboard the Anomaly with them.
HUH?
Added an option for VR head bob when the player body is enabled.
what that means?
I think in regards to variation, itās more to do with making planets different. It is probably unrealistic to have totally unique looks for every single planet but... take frost planets as an example. Every single one has the same texture with snow with grey patches. Say if they made some completely snow covered or blue ice covered or something of that nature. Yes there would be similar ones out there but they might be less frequent. I know exactly what a frost planet will look like before I land on it at the moment. I think thatās why people want a variation update so badly.
instead of adding new textures they can just add new things entirely, like frosted spikes in the ocean for eg
i like this update because it adds especialty the real possibility of cities
because procedural interiors
or standing lava on some hot planets (volcanoes would be too hard to do right but this should be fine)
@mighty rampart we should play together later
and explore those freighters together
yeah I'd like that
Damn i want a friend too š¢
Yep. This update shows that they can do more procedural structure features
@uncut harness u could join us
i am in euclid
same
doesnt matter anyway
oh i forgot they redid the lens flare for the sun
can just go back to euclid
True
The Boltcaster and the Scatter Blaster now fire in bursts. Holding down fire will trigger short gaps between salvos. These can be adjusted with new technologies.
ehhh I dont like the sound of this
Oh really
u can see it here
WOW
botom right
Is that a venator?
rainbow
man I missed the lens flares
Or a derelict?
Wow
Well, the bolt caster was just a pulse spitter with better aim until this patch
they updated that real well now
some weapon at least
The lighting is so much better. I am not sure however if this caused the Kovax helmet for the Anomaly race to be very dark and bugged.
oof
could be a bug, best to report it if you can confirm it
bruhs there is purple words in the trailer but i can't make it out
Should i buy coordinates rn?
same
something new to buy?
the coordinates for the derelect freighters
@unborn gale screenshot please?
hmm
It says NO_SIGNAL
No_signal
ah
Added a new item, the Repair Kit. This can be used to repair any damaged subcomponent, in place of its required materials. The kit is consumed upon use.

they know how to make trailers
It would make sense for this update
actually that might be it lol
Will i get fucked guys?
case solved yay
The freighters being abandoned and going offline
making repairs even better
but that definitely says no signal
Oh no
oh apparently there's also a minor update to terrain gen
after
what the fuck
Woah!
YEEEEE
So much better!
I saw like a tweet about that
just going frame by frame i saw something else
You can actually look at them
how bad are gravitino balls now?
@mighty rampart Well how badly do you need your retinas?
one sec imma graba screenshot
You can legit look at gravs now
This is bad
damn
Fuck me i hate horror
Pog
Ayyy
AYYYYY
Nice
WE WON BOIS
Gravatinos weree
about time
Like that one song
Who sang blinded by the light
Why do?i?want to say phil?collins
In the corner you can see "CL"
Asteroid placement is now deterministic.
???
it just says minor improvement to terrain gen
probably fixed some random jank
Like the carpet bombing of grass?
Maybe plants finally spawn on the ground
ohh yeah
hey @mighty rampart u like expeditions?
Are there monsters on the freighters?
they changed them a bit
fuck
never cared for freighter expeditions
though the logs would be pretty funny sometimes
Capital ships now contribute stats to the success of fleet expeditions. Different freighters have different base levels of Fleet Coordination. This stat can be improved with new procedural technologies salvaged from derelict or abandoned freighters.
nice
because derelict freighters changes how expeditions goes
soo ur feighter matters now for expeditions
and that too The expedition UI now shows the difference between stats contributed by the fleet and stats contributed by temporary frigate upgrades or any capital ship technologies.
that's a solid improvement
I keep forgetting to look my freighter expeditions
I'll check it out
Summoning the Space Anomaly while in Pulse Drive will now correctly disengage the Pulse Engine.
no more fucking head butt the space anomaly
more static shit. it looks like something though
J?
idk what that symbol is doesn't look like a letter
ok finally installed
Def getting performance issues though
seeya later
Can i call another ship on the freighter?
that screenshot looks like a frigate
hoho repair kits huh
damn seems like one of the people on the freighter did go crazy
found something similar to it again in the trailer
How do i use the repair kit?
and again the same jarbbled mess of letters
FUCK ITS SECURITY
oh shit the bots they after you
I love that we all got trolled by that 4chan leak
@chrome ice didnt 4chan leak say cross platform (done) combat (done) proc gen (not done)?
not sure what is troll about that lol
but they specially said a major summer update would come that would do both
at the same time
freighter or frigate
Freighter
almost looks like 3d if you zoom
Looks like one of those freighters that look like Impire Ships from Star Wars
Guys
Itās not even August yet
The year is not over yet
This is most likely not the last update
I think it's the same as the one in the blue screenshot above
then right after that image, the "NO_SIGNAL" text appears
right but the whole point is the āleakā said there would be a major update improving combat and exploration simultaneously which isnāt the case
more of it but at a different spot it also showed up again at 00:29 but didn't change like this
Data mined yet?
right but the whole point is the āleakā said there would be a major update improving combat and exploration simultaneously which isnāt the case
@chrome ice As I said. The year isnāt over yet
That could still be the case
this image has popped up multiple times idk if it's on purpose or not
Right but this update improved combat @idle jay so they arenāt going to be together
They can still do more with combat silly š
Itās not like a one and done kind of deal
i think i found the pattern every third glitch it shows those images correct if me im wrong pls
Itās not like they would update that aspect once and never touch it again
They could be doing more things for it later. Bigger things
@fast terrace that string of stuff at the top looks almost like portal glyphs. But I really really really feel like weāre reading too much into this
People who believe any 4chan leak = top notch goofball
I remember Sean saying in a development update that they plan doing small and large updates. Every summer there has been an anniversary update. I don't see any reason this year to be different.
Hello Games is legitimately too small to have leaks
I mean, that's why I come here =))
Ikr
for straw man theories
Yo had to step away from computer but those images bruh they are interesting
Hello Games is legitimately too small to have leaks
@uncut harness what about the time their office flooded...tons of leaks
Internal leaks happen with companies who have 500+ employees. That is way easier to get a rogue member who leaks shit
Lmao
Good one
Itās been 4 years since release and a constant ask has been variation improvements. Donāt get me wrong I love everything theyāve been doing but I think we need to finally put the idea of variation to rest. Itās not gonna happen
Variation is dead š¦
I believe we should be patient until August to determine that
Weāve been patient for 4 years
You guys are thinking this was the major update. There is still August and the rest of this year. I have no doubts there would be a major update later. Whether or not it has to do with variation weāll see when the time comes
There will be no major update
HG already said they were done with that
Small but frequent is the new model
So we can be for one more month š
xbox was the first to leak desolation, i wonder if they have something planned for the xbox event on the 21st...doubt it since it is supposed to be their 1st party conference but i can dream
Then what is this about hmm? https://mobile.twitter.com/NoMansSky/status/1281346004294537218
@uncut harness they also said they were working on bigger more long term things
Anyway, the update is cool
It was a joke about how the community always goes insane with baseless speculation @idle jay
Not got round to playing but I've been waiting for it for ages
Which literally got proven lmao
Do the guns feel better?
@fast terrace#4689 Iām away from computer right now but if you want to try to layer shit together maybe find something out that
Your probably right
But Iāll still give the rest of this year
We just need to be patient
I'm not expecting another next or beyond tbh
Yeah
I'm feeling that we will get one big headline feature
But I know weāll still be getting more
Yeah
They also said this would be an eventful summer
I tried but I'm not competent enough
So itās clearly not the end
also the images are way too distorted
are they doing montly updates?
It would be really neat to show off something in the Xbox event but I doubt they will. But it would be a major surprise
K I can try when I have time itās all good man
Im not sure I mean they did say they had big things planned and this would be an eventful year. Of course I have no idea how much effort went into this update but it feels more along the scale of a living ships rather than a bigger content update
spent 10M on this freighter, got 7M back š
Itās probably going to be a big update broken up into bits. Released at different parts of the year
So what they're doing right now:
- they have multiple "teams" working on different stuff
- when something is finished, it gets released
That means even if we got this update today, there are other stuff that are being worked on as we speak. Whenever a number of features is ready, they package it in a update and they release it.
It certainly feels like this happened with this update:
- one team worked on derelict freighters
- one worked on lighting changes, bloom and stuff
- one team worked on freighter customization
- others worked on bugfixes and other stuff
Even if we didn't get the update we hoped for, it doesn't mean it's not in the works
The leak took stuff from a fake Reddit post and put it on 4chan. The combat stuff was wrong again as well cuz this doesn't build on EXO.
"Eventful" is probably a few character skins, more customization, fetch quests, maybe a new exocraft or two and community missions
Literally what punkt said
I prefer if the concept of NEXT or BEYOND is broken up in smaller updates like this
It will not be variation
since NEXT and BEYOND usually break half the game š
"Eventful" is probably a few character skins, more customization, fetch quests, maybe a new exocraft or two and community missions
And this latest update seemed to prove that then didnāt it
did anyone find a "rare star system" yet?
Yeah there isnāt a variation update planned, probably will never be one. Itās been requested for so long now, we probably would have had it by now if they were gonna do it.
it was one of the conditions for a title or something
I donāt think they are half assing the content this time around
The latest update proved so
Quoting Sean in April 22 in Development update 10: "In addition to these content updates, we are working up some more ambitious additions to the universe, and have so much more planned for 2020 for us to feel excited about. "
Oh no it is high quality stuff
Hello Everyone! Itās only been a couple of weeks since our last development update, but we wanted to reach out to say that the team is well and hard at work, and now quite settled into this strange ānew normalā of working remotely. Ā Ā Sometimes itās good to take a moment and ...
Quoting Sean in April 22 in Development update 10: "In addition to these content updates, we are working up some more ambitious additions to the universe, and have so much more planned for 2020 for us to feel excited about. "
Literally this
Yes they added crossover which they referenced to as super ambitious and pretty impossible for a team their size
That was crossplay and desolation
Crossover is not as impossible as it sounds
YEEEAAAA
No we'll probably get 1/2 small content drops this year
it's still a big implementation
I feel like we will get another update this summer
Crossplay yea, desolation though, wouldnt call it "ambitious"
but they used an external service from Microsoft, which made it possible
Because honestly, Desolation is nice, but players are crying for improved variety
And generation
@sand karma This is what Hello Games used for CrossPlay NMS: https://playfab.com/
I donāt know why some are thinking Desolation would be the last of what they are doing
makes me wonder if this lays the groundwork for revised planet POIs with improved proc-gen
took this off my phone don't know how well the image will pop out but "C" is there on the bottom again
yeah there's no way HG would random drop an update and that's it without them commenting it being the last š
If they did it with derelict freighters then I have no doubt they can do other stuff
Sure, but even with all the PlayFab in the world it is a small teams and they also released 4 updates, weekend missions, community missions and Bytebeat since Beyond.
yeah there's no way HG would random drop an update and that's it without them commenting it being the last š
āļø
The wording on the desolation blog says that they have updates planned for the āyearā. To me that probably means no more this summer.
I'm a full-stack web developer/engineer, using an external api I can do something in a month what would take 6 months to a year if writing custom š
To me that means there is still summer
so it's still big, but it helps a lot if you use an external service
Also quoting Sean at exo mech release: "We have so much more planned for 2020 ā both in the form of these smaller updates, and bigger, longer-term things ā and we are not slowing down."
Just because they said the year doesnāt mean there would be none during the rest of summer
Also aren't they still going through weekend missions?
Yes and then they released crossplay which is long term and this which is bigger.
This is Living Ship expanded, not a big content update
@uncut harness That actually makes sense. Like the static becoming clearer as each update arrives
Living Ship also did much more than people give it credit for. As does this.
@crisp fern exactly
Oh I know, but it still doesn't compare to the big content updates
the weekend mission lore doesent go with that update
well
Yes which is why it's relevant that they said they don't want to do big content drops anymore.
Because they don't like the downtime in between.
seeing the Hello Games x Microsoft team up for Crossplay, NMS might appear on the Xbox show next week š
One day they're gonna hit the wall of this iteration of the terrain generation and hit the regen
there was also a quote which i cant find, which was saying that one of these or more of these updates would please both new and veteran players of NMS
brb for a few secs
more static stuff looks similar to the blue images
Before then I anticipate a means to migrate bases from place to place though, to avoid stepping on toes
Well different veterans and new players do want different things. I played day one and am very pleased with today's update. š
I played day one and appreciate this update too, but it doesn't change anything about planets for me since that wasn't its focus
I love today;s update! I just believe it is part of the smaller ones!
I remain disinterested in planets as they are and apparently so do HG, lmao
Whatever the case, we will find out in a month or so š
Your right Leon
How would you feel about the random space events from this and LS getting a planet equivalent while exploring @crisp fern?
That would potentially be solid
But I think we should give them the rest of the year as a chance
Because that I can see them do tbh
This is far from over
That is true regardless, more is coming either way, which after everything we've already gotten is mind-blowing
I mean I am still shocked we are getting this one month after crossover
Tbh this is some of the freighter love I've been yearning for so I really don't have any major criticisms, other than them not taking this opportunity to hide void eggs in the derelict freighters and rare tech to hatch them at your pace rather than the game's
True! The procedural freighter interiors is a big deal. Could be further expanded in future updates
For me itās all about terrain and textures. Terrain needs to be more wild on some planets and colours need to vary within the same biomes. If they can sort that Iād be more inclined to go exploring.
Oh and the inventory changes remain obtuse as hell
expand the tech inventory to accommodate all the available tech, don't make it overflow into general inventory
How does expanding freightor slots work?
Yeah I think color and textures would make the bigger difference for me as well, much more so than new terrain generation
You get items at the end of exploring the delerict ones Woah
Or maybe sometimes earlier on as well, but I got mine at the last terminal
Basically. It appears to currently be bugged and unlocking too much tho.
I thought it was intended, but I don't think so now.
Yeah, I maxed out my freighter off of one
This is far from over
@idle jay knows something? š
Any Tldr?
They should give ruins the same treatment
oh cool
Itās just a logical conclusion
@grizzled apex dungeons
Uh you seen the new update Soleth?
@formal knot not that
It would be weird for them to stop making more updates for the year after they said it would be an eventful one
I mean all this static decoding
ohh
The glyphs in the static
Oh that's more wishful thinking
Oh there's static in the trailer
All this new stuff found in the trailer?
The glyphs are pretty legible I think
glyphs in the static š
Yeah
Guys donāt forget the anniversary is coming
Where they leading?
It does say signal_lost at some point and the rest might mean something later on
oh daymn
Also didn't they say this update added more story? Could be on the freighters, but also could be hidden content in the weekend missions
Thanks a lot!
wow
I'll search the trailer now
Yeah each freighter has its own story
the freighter story is super light imo
Yeah lots of story stuff there
@teal trail
The weekend mission story was completely added in crossplay
@teal trail
Want the link?
oh ok
Just to let you know you can press < and > on youtube to cycle through frames
so where does one repaint a freighter :o
Yeah
CEA if the A is cut off
what could it be
We should figure out those glyphs
daymn
Dang. Didnāt think of that
Imagine thats like the last peice of the puzzle and azure just got it now
Letās keep that in mind
They should give ruins the same treatment
@gloomy isle yes
They should give all structures the same treatment tbh
Like the weekend missions
It looks like the same sequence as in the picture you send
What are the glyphs
Ikagine sean sitting there when he uploaded the static
Is it likely that the trailer has a secret message? Is this why you analyze it frame by frame? Thought it is just gibberish for the desolation trailer
What if that was just to see if we could do this?
Sean: >:)
@formal knot
Upside down triangle could be
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabla_symbol
The nabla is a triangular symbol resembling an inverted Greek delta:
ā
{\displaystyle \nabla }
or ā. The name comes, by reason of the symbol's shape, from the Hellenistic Greek word νάβλα for a Phoenician harp, and was suggested by th...
That could be one down from the glyphs
Yeah
So not glyphs but maybe a coded message?
The glyphs were given official names in the living ships update right?
Yes
SO maybe the first letter of each spells something?
Some of them
They don't seem to match nms glyphs though
Not all
oh i see
greek letters/symbols would make sense since everything lately seems to be named from greek mythology
Yep
Thatsttrue
Definitely
Even before that there were kind of references to that
Artemis for example
Unless Iām thinking the wrong thing
this is in there
The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language since the late ninth or early eighth century BC. It is derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet, and was the first alphabetic script in history to have distinct letters for vowels as well as consonants. In Archai...
WT vibes!
Gamma then alpha and then idk
Probably translates right?
Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation and of chastity and childbirth; she was identified by the Romans with Diana. She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. Among the rural populace, Artemis was the favorit...
I am greek by the way, in case i can help somewhere
Doesnt seem like modern or ancient greek letters at first glance at least
And the first letter doesnt seem like gamma. Gamma is like this --> Ī. One line is shorter
Maybe its in a few languages?
It is also a bit glitched up keep in mind
doing my research though
the upside triangle could be the alchemical symbol for "water"
just googled it
Secret message reads: || remember to drink plenty of water ||
Lol
The abyss was mentioned in the weekend missions along with freighters
7th one over looks like this- its a rune
My take would be: this is some crazy ass symbol font like Windings
Why would it show up like this then?
Hints maybe
HG know the fans will pick it apart
This trailer being a portion of a full thing
Like a bit of off-top, ok?
Becoming clearer as each new update comes out
could the 5th one over be greek symbol pi?
Idk
From Fallout 76, people werer trying to decipher those stones
Thought it was a map
Turned out there is a font with this symbols
Those are actually just letters that formed a message
Defeintely not pi
NMS has a history of stuff like this
Anyway it's fun and we don't know until we see for ourselves
Or it's just a red herring and we're just baited
holy shit i can't beleive i missed the first one lol
that is so much more clear
Some of these seem similar
yeah, what runes are those?
https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Runic_alphabet random ones from google images
ok soo freighters have different sizes
Not all of them match though
The 6th does resemble the letter W
8 etc
How many alphabets are recovered?
so can we all agree that this isn't just a coincidence
@hybrid pendant how big are the rooms
@neon sentinel yeah, it does
@unborn gale it isnt
and how many corridors
Possibly Fox
Pretty sure this isnt accidental
i have all the images except the first one and on at 00:29
Yeah
The same characters appear many times
What if we collate the clearest of each character
I donāt think the formation of symbols into something possibly coherent is just due to glitches
List em down
the first one is the clearest
you could look into that
here is a another one
I need to right these down
These look alot like the runes
yes!
D
yeah it does look similar
It may quite well be something inside the game, since no single runey alphabet uses symbols like that
I think
These characters probably appear in several languages is the only concern I got
upside triangle is nabla/inverted delta
Has anyone data mine?
I thought the letter K in runes as 2nd
Do planets dissappear when you go on abandoned freighters
2nd rune does have that shape
@gusty stream nope?
@mental socket I make it spawn near a planets rings, land, and then the rings/planet go poof
WOAH
Awesome
yeah the new lighting system can change how planets looks
is it possible the letters which have meanings behind them create a sentence
6th symbol in runic can either be number 9 or letter W
we know the square-X means 'Day' possibly
Damn I missed this!
@uncut harness planets can now have bioluminescent plants etc
Check #nms-photomode-gallery
damn i gotta go but i'll look at the images and try to figure stuff out later tonight see ya guys'
Could some of these banner titles be hinting at a future update?
See ya
@nocturne zephyr yea was wondering abt that
Maybe it's a black hole system?
Guys, I just maxed out my freighter with just using 1 bulkhead
There really arent any 'special' systems I haven't discovered
I think that wasnt meant to happen
@nocturne zephyr can you check through them if they have some goal that is currently unreachable/impossible
such as the special system one you found
There's a couple I question
mind sharing?
One sec
Hmm special system? Like one that would come in...a particular update...
Yeah
Maybe special system is the player made? Birth of a new star at the end of Atlas path
But rare systemsā¦
There are several that have to do with the alien races and specific Characters that could hint at future interactions
Hints Iām telling you. Hints
@nocturne zephyr I have the strange world one
Me too
maybe the anomalous planets
Anyone noticed if the rate of anomolous encounters in space changed with the update? Haven't seen one in over a month.
Maybe, but then like everyone would have it @mental socket
Hmm special system? Like one that would come in...a particular update...
@idle jay suspicious
Otherwise, I like that these banners sorta give us more stuff to chase and unlock
Tell me about it
And in a way thatās not just buy with QS to
Notice how those goals have to do with exploration? Interesting
Makes sense
Very interesting though that those relate to exploration
Yep
new story, that is
I wanted the explorer title, but you get it just by having an explorer ship... So nvmd
Later this year. We still have time. This is not the last update of this year at all
Yeah I think those titles were meant to be earned through a new save
Having a ton of time in a save is going to bypass a number of those requirements
@idle jay Hmm, well there is Iteration 1 title for day 1 players
with legacy saves
I'm using that one
That's pretty cool actually
Well not all of them are meant to be earned by veteran players is what I mean
Ah
https://twitter.com/SouthernCard/status/1283752124577468417?s=20 There is more coming.
"No Man's Sky's Desolation Update is scheduled to roll out across Xbox One, PS4, and PC today. Hello Games says it has "several more significant releases planned for the year". https://t.co/7C0gYv9PoN
Procedural abandoned stations, procedural outposts, etc
Hmm, why not. That would be bad game design if some stuff was not meant to be unlockable if you were to have an old save@idle jay
Idk. Could be thinking something
If there are several...
Of course older saves can unlock it
It probably wouldnāt be a big one
But I mean that the progress towards unlocking them would be skipped by older saves
Since the older saves would have already done those things
Did we find out about the glyphs?
Not much more
So what do the scrap merchants trade in? What do they want from me for sweet sweet coords?
You can sell the logs to them
ah nice
I honestly donāt know what that means specifically
Right now asteroids just sort of spawn in randomly*
Now their positions are always the same
Like if you leave and come back to the same spot
Oh damn, scatter blaster feels good now
The same asteroids will be there
Havenāt had a chance to play yet. How do the new weapons feel?
Great
Yeah
Maybe landing on asteroids soonš¤ š
I know thatās what I thought. Sort of felt like a hint that those voxel asteroids may become something we can land on
There isnāt really a reason to do this if they werenāt being used for something more in the future
Ooh thatās actually pretty cool
I think it's to avoid asteroids clipping into the derelict freighters more than anything tbh, lol
that makes sense too. But they could have just done a spherical check from the freighters and removed the asteroid objects
Hmmm... possibly
But they could still use it for more, so we'll see
Are the derelict freighter positions deterministic?
@chrome ice you'd think but HG goes about things in weird ways
Each system is said to have a unique one so maybe?
Which is nice
I wonder if you can find one without the need for the location finder thing
If thatās possible then that would be nice
Finding them naturally instead of warping to have them appear in front of you
Each star system has one derelict freighter style, allowing Travellers to share the portal address of systems with particularly interesting wrecks.
Neat
Does that mean there are a bunch in one system, but they are all similar?
damn this goes well in green
Yeah we find them by buying the new things
But Iām wondering if we can just come across them without it. Iām thinking itās possible with the way they set it up
But Iām wondering if we can just come across them without it. Iām thinking itās possible with the way they set it up
@idle jay you can
The patch notes say so
And a free scanner is given by helios every week
Well I couldnāt read the patch notes because the page is going wack with such high activity
Anyone have a slowed down version of the trailer so that I can examine the static?
It's stable now, at least for me @idle jay
Iāll check again then
