If you really want this game to succeed, I think the devs would heed your critic if they heard it? I mean just SLAP them with it and see what happens, you might just save a cute game.
The pipe quest is what made me give up on this early version of the game. I guess the real barrels are the friends we made along the way, at least the player interactions were fun.
Actually you get pipe in crates and barrels, some of them are attackable. But the drop rate is very low so you get 3 of them at level 6-10 something like that
you should not trust this peon dude. He had no clue about this game. Its quite easy to solve the quest + he did so many things wrong + he reached lvl 3 and stopped. Seriously...I cant take him serious at all. The gameplay loop especily at mid game is perfect. This guy makes me so angry because he is talking nonsense without any idea of the game
@@flixfeliks I got to level 7 and Peon has been pretty much spot on about everything. He just didn't put that much time into the game and he really shouldn't have to. The game is in alpha and clearly they need to make a bunch of changes. I supported them with a preorder but man this game is doa if they don't fix the early level experience.
@@flixfeliks And you have no clue about good game design. If a new player is running around for hours struggling to find a few pieces of wood or has to talk to 20 NPCs in a village to find an NPC's brother something is fundamentally wrong with how the experience is designed and Peon's frustration was evident. When you frustrate or confuse new players it can be the death of your game, especially in an MMO where player retention is everything.

@@deadmanfred its not as worse as he is saying. I was lvl 12 on alpha 3. The gameloop was really good and I enjoyed the hardzones. The only thing that is right is that the start is not beginner friendly or...not hand holding. People who play this like a common mmo will fail at the start. Thats an issue yes but most things this guy said are wrong + he had no experience at all with the game.
The gathering fail was a bug in the server. As the client and server weren't communicating properly. So, when the request was made by the client to the server to gather from a node. It was failing to convey that movement had stopped prior to the request. So, the server interpreted that as the character had moved and interrupted the gathering. Which causes the node to expire. You had to move right next to the node, stop, then click to harvest. They fixed it in a hotfix a couple days later. They've had multiple similar issues with client to server communication not syncing up. Like clicking on a fire to rest and it cancels. But then the server flags it as an error and prevents you from clicking on a fire EVER AGAIN with that character. That happened during Alpha 1. It was horrendous. And I've been very vocal while testing and streaming the game (when allowed). In regards to the new and starting player experience. They've only budged slightly on a few things. For example. In Alpha 1; it took a solid five minutes of sitting at a fire to go from 10% health to full. Consuming food when NOT at a fire would only restore maybe 10% of your health at lvl1. Sitting at a fire it would restore roughly 30% at lvl1. So, you needed to consume multiple foods while at a fire at low health to avoid several minutes of rest. They changed that for Alpha 3. Buffing food and fires considerably. And at the end of the last test, they finally conceded to complaints in regards to farming. The resource nodes will now always drop a basic drop (so long as it doesn't fail at low skill levels) with a chance at additional higher quality loot. Depending on your skill level. As myself and many others would spend a few hours searching and harvesting from nodes. Only to get uncommon or rare drops. When you need one of several specific common drops for a quest. I'm with you in wanting this game to work and succeed. But the team behind it has given me serious doubts with each testing phase. They claim it's designed so that players need to group to succeed. Like in old Everquest. But, the game needs to be more lenient and easier to get into at the start. It needs to be faster and easier until you reach at least level 6 and get your ultimate ability. As all the classes kits are too barebone before then. Recovering from fights takes too long and too much effort in advance (gathering materials to make food and firepits). And most people aren't going to roll into this MMO with a group of people to play with from the get-go. As it's going to be a niche audience that plays. Due to the style and function of the game. So it needs to be solo-friendly until you leave the starter area.
You highlight an important point. I think forcing grouping is fine, it facilitates the creation of long lasting friendships in MMOs. However, people need to get used to the game first and find enjoyment in the core gameplay loop first, before they are ready to invest into the game and into other players. Trying to force people into grouping at lvl 1 adds to the bad new player experience.
Me and a friend were in the most recent test and we both agreed that the worst part of what we played was the first couple hours. Quests usually being somewhere between confusing and absolute nonsense to the point of never even bothering (i'm looking at you pipe quest) and that's if the quest description isn't outright wrong because they've updated what you do on the quest but not the description, the area you start in not actually being the area you're supposed to start doing things in while only giving very vague directions on the long path to where you're actually supposed to start adventuring, few resources to be able to heal if you're solo or with a single friend, resource nodes being broken 50+% of the time, it certainly makes a really bad first impression. I started having a way better time when I got to the area west of the main town at like level 5. Also a frustration that isnt really the devs fault at this point but playing the game in Australia, your ping is so bad you basically can't dodge the shit you're supposed to be able to dodge, to the point where me and my friend as like lvl 6 characters couldnt kill a pack of two wolves because they apply a bleed you're supposed to be able to dodge but it was basically impossible with our pings. Edit: and it certainly doesn't help that whenever I asked for help, 99% of the time I was ignored or told I was just bad and wasn't appreciating what the devs were giving us. Hard to foster new friendships when the vocal part of the community seemed to be elitists/purists who didn't want more people to play the game, they wanted it all for themselves. Edit 2: and holy crud they needed to add text filters and the ability to mute/report people, I saw way too many people casually dropping n bombs like it was a circa 2011 CoD lobby
@hamishwalker9637 yeah. It took me nearly ten hours to hit lvl6. Due to the rng nature of literally everything. In order to complete missions. But I stopped shortly after hitting lvl6. As I was playing a shaman. And found that the ability to heal the wolf pet didn't work. And the wolf dying cost you half your health. Which would easily get you killed in fights. But, there was no way to "un-summon" the wolf. So, I'd have to suicide the thing when it got low. By having it engage something while I ran away. Then, I spend time healing. I was done at that point. I wasn't testing anything anymore or streaming it. I posted on the discord and emailed the dev that has been inviting me since alpha 1. And played other games. I'll check it out in early access. As I get a key for having tested the game since alpha 1. But, unless a LOT is done to shore up design and system issues. I'll be passing on this. It just sucks that they lost most of the game when they had to flee Ukraine. And lost a number of their team due to the evacuation. It hurt this game soo much.
All your critiques are very much the sentiment of the majority of the player base (myself included.) That being said the game has great bones and all of the frustrations are easily solved by adding more resource nodes, fix the breaking of resources, Overhaul the early quests to introduce the player to the game better (just add better dialogue), adjust movement speed a little bit (although there are mounts coming), add more mobs or decrease the respawn timer. I'm super hyped for this one and it will absolutely improve over time given the amount of polish that has already gone into it.
agreed, the combat and world is there but MAN did my time with the game feel grueling with the lack of resource nodes and lack of direction when starting out. This game just needs some serious modern quality of life passes and I think it would be in a good spot. Obviously not something to where its mobile game levels of easy but I shouldn't have had to run 4 hours in a forest to try collecting 5 pieces of wood.
they need more advanced pull mechanics for melee players. It's fine to group up and party but in a starting area I don't see why I need a group just for some rats or spend an hour finding smaller spawn groups.
It's rare to see a game where the community is so unanimous. When I was done with the beta I wondered if it was just me, if I completely missed something and now I realize that everyone felt exactly the same.
The game was rough in the beginning I logged off plenty of times while playing alpha 3 but then one day I decided to actually sit down and see what I needed to do and once you get how to approach the game it was amazing can’t wait for august 6 to test out what class I’m starting with
I think sometimes this is the issue. You need to sit down and make yourself play the game, understand the systems until game becomes somewhat fun (if you are lucky). I think that's where game designers fail at their job. Games should be designed in such way where learning them isnt a complete bummer. And no I don't mean explosions and rewards left and right. Just looking at the gameplay of this makes me feel like I'm doing chores. Sounds like I'm whining but I'm not wrong.
@@NinesIng I agree 100%. I want this to be my new MMO and I'm hoping it succeeds for a long time, but they need to tweak things bad and I'm hoping early access they can get on the ball with that.
Now that you said that... damn... my first MMO was Tibia, and to this day anytime I see a top down MMO I expect it to act like Tibia, why can't we have nice things?
I tried this game last alpha test and loved it , oldschool mmo vibes like that you have to read the quest,map and think in general . Especially after level 5 i couldn't stop playing (was a shaman). Can't wait for the full release !!
> Almost no mobs to kill. > Gathering nodes are non-existent and for whatever reason don't guarantee a dropped item. > Quest rewards are worth less than mobs. > Open world from the start, but nothing to do in it. Yeah, I'm gonna steer clear of this one. I don't understand why EVERY game developer gets the concept of "Open World" wrong. There's even a grid system; all they have to do is stick ONE interesting thing in each map square. It doesn't even have to be a quest or a Boss, just throw a statue or a lake, anything to give people a reason to explore, instead of "being huge for the sake of being huge".
if you read their news on their page it says that there will be open world dungeons without instance, with bosses, mini bossess and tons of mobs that are challenging
@@kaanarmutcu6740 But the world itself is still blank and grindy. Grind for the sake of grind isn't fun. I lived through 90's Korean MMO's, and I don't miss them. If you set out to get a quest item, you shouldn't have a 5% chance to get it from a tree that has a like hour long respawn timer, in a game where hundreds of people are competing for that one tree, just to complete a starter quest that gives less rewards than if you just killed 2 enemies, rather than do nothing, but hunt down that tree for hours. The fundamental game loop is flawed. I can't see this game having a community that lasts longer than a few months, unless drastic changes are made.
The quest information and spawn rates of certain quest items needs to be made WAY more clear via dialogue if that's the route they're going. During Alpha 3 it was so painful to try and figure these things out without having people share the information with everyone in chat. I would know because after the first three quests I challenged myself by turning off the chat, reading the dialogue and trying to go from there. I only made it to level 5 and it took around 25 hours, the time isnt bad but it's because the lack of information in-game that it even took that long. I like the hardcore/old school aspects of the game but if it wants to be a game about exploration, DIY and grouping it at least needs to be more clear about the instructions and how to achieve these things for everyone.
If I wanted to play a game looking through a telescope I'd play this. Top down already is enough, with the fog I feel like a can't breath. I don't think I could play this as an MMO for hours
If you watch this video before playingh at 5:40 when he takes that quest for the wood there is a wood pile right next to him because hes not reading or listening he missed it and that quest is pretty nice for some early supplies.
how could you ask and expect the player to actually read, didnt you learn that gamers cant read nor use their brain while they play, if the game is not easy mode^10 then its a bad game smh
Totally agree with the Cons, I played all Alphas and it didn't get better. But in Discord the the self-named "Hardcore" UO or whatever players think its good and don't want any changes. But the problem is they are not enough in 2024 to save this Game. Also the RNG Gathering is way too much RNG. Literally all in this Game is really bad RNG. Farming materials is a horror, then after hours you done, go crafting -> then fail, or really bad stats on the item. This is not motivating to play more of this Game, it is more a frustrating than rewarding. I can't recommend this Game in it's current state as much as I wanted it to be good.
Basically like Warcraft 3 Campaign map, one of those created by players where you just control 1 hero, no units. My friends and I used to play those all day. I might have to give this a try.
Having the preorder on one screen watching this on the other. I really hope they pull this together I so want this to be good Have to wait with preordering then
Wow, this is why once human is such a breath of fresh air. Gameplay is well thought out. This is like a tedious romp in the sheets only to realise your too tired to continue.
Once Human is hot garbage and the gameplay feels terrible. Time gating the tech tree is one of the stupidest decisions I've ever seen in a survival crafting game in my life.
@@wintesrain Did you play the game? I did not feel it was time gated, you got extra points for the tech tree each char lvl and exploring collecting deviants and I think some other achievements.
I've been telling the devs to add more tutorials since the first playtest a year ago. They did add a little, but it's clearly not enough. However, once you understand the world and game mechanics, it actually gets easier. So yeah, they just need to fix the early game for new players, and it will be fine.
I am SO glad I'm not the only one with the exact same thoughts on this game. I left a massive feedback post on their forums and a bunch of players just responded, complaining that I was being a baby and that the game was meant to be slow paced.
Those same idiots are in the game creating a toxic environment and need to be banned honestly, mods and ingame GM need to do their jobs hardcore early access cause alpha testing already toxic. With how shitty the game design is, it should be obvious you are going to have a ton of players asking where things are and how to do things, and even more when early access drops. The toxic environment of telling players to uninstall and quit the game is going to further kill the playerbase, basically these hardcore idiots will be killing their own game which will lead to the server closing. The marketing is going to be terrible, you won't hear about this game much cause of the difficulty and devs stubborness of refusing to make it easier, and it's going to start with one of the lowest playbase numbers of any mmo and gonna die even more after the first year is up. It already seemed dead on the east cost server, now imagine early access. less than 15k starting, gonna dwindle only to a few thousand within the first 3 months and die by the year with maybe less than 200 people playing per server.
I only got to try it for a few hours, but I enjoyed the more adult humor, and I found a copper pipe fairly early on just opening all the boxes trying to find that dude's brother haha! So I don't necessarily disagree with your critiques, but I also didn't have the same experiences as you as I guess I got lucky. As far as the lack of guidance, I'm actually okay with that and the slow pace of the game as well. The slow health regen, was definitely not a problem I had, but I was playing a shaman so I could heal myself and really quickly learned how valuable food is. I will hop in the next play test if I can and give it another shot with more time.
I like the fact that NPCs are not marked and require you to talk to them, Ashes of Creation does the same thing. Note you have keys on the right side labeled F1 to F8 that you may be able to place items like food. Drop rates remind me of Classic WOW from 2005.
It's terrible in game. It's even difficult to find the NPCs, because they don't even have a name tag, and are usually the same color as the background. Even if you stand right beside them there's a good chance you'll need a minute to find them on the screen.
I think once you explore and learn the map certain quests become a lot easier as with any game. I do hope they make the 1-10 experience at the very least more accessible. Because I think most people spawn in, miss that quests even exist in the game and wander off dying to mobs 1 lvl higher than them. Find no resources you can gather and probably won't understand how to recover health or the fact that you can put food on your hotbar on the right side of the screen. Just to mention a drop in the ocean of things that could be improved upon.
One of my friends tried the alpha 3 as well, he’s not very good with english and he had so much trouble trying to complete a quest like you. I’m glad you also struggled in a way 😅
If they want good questing they should look at OSRS for that. Before you accept the quest it gives a warning based on the combat level required. The questing journal will show level pre requisites which is a hint as to what you need to do in the quest. If you are in need of tools or items for certain tasks you will find them around the quest area. Granted it isnt perfect as there are sometimes random NPCs that need talking to for some dialog options but these are singular moments and not the norm. By far the best questing in MMORPG history. As a bonus you never become a larger than life character so menial tasks never feel out of place.
You pretty much did everything wrong, had a similar experience but the game seems to be meant to be played with someone. Everything you listed as cons concerning gameplay is actually very cool and unique once you get the hang of it, spend some time exploring, not mindlessly focusing on one quest only. The game is ment to be played as a journey, not as a task finisher. They only never explained it to players anywhere which leads to a lot of frustration. The game really starts after level 6, untill then just try to find all the NPCs scatterd arround, buy a starting weapon and attachments, finish the easy quests and have someone to play with, makes the time go much quicker and the game much more enjoyable. Trust me, that is where the addicting part lies. The game is an mmo after all and having a few social skills won't hurt you 😅
I had the exact same experience and feelings before level 7, and you have such an amazing opinion about the game! Moreover, you explained it the best way I could ever do!
@@NorthernStrider I got hooked pretty bad, and I suck at the game, was spaming two abilities for 2 days and had no clue what to do for the most part of my gameplay session. After you understand how the game works it suddenly turns from crap into a masterpiece.
I've never heard of this game. Looks cool but the issues at the moment seem really weird. I see you can't put food in the bottom bar(s) but what about the function key bar on the right side of the screen? What happens when you press the play button that pops up when you highlight a quest in the quest tracker on the right? It'd be nice if there was some sort of quest tracking/highlighting on the map if that's what that is.
Hey man, you probably won't see this but I'm really glad to see you enjoying a 'first impression' game again, with all the recent MMO let downs I've been feeling like you were having less fun. Maybe I'm wrong but personally I'm really happy to see you genuinely enjoying this game :) Much love from the Netherlands!
I was gonna say that quests in a game like this might be something seen as a side-activity - optional, but then I took a look at the amount of them in your quest log. Honestly I wouldn't mind mostly ignoring quests if that is a viable route. I just want to kill monsters and develop my character. I wonder what higher level party play looks like.
I have high hopes for this game, watched their trailer on some yt video 6-12 months ago (perhaps yours). At least i can see that the map and minimap are amazing
I signed up for the Closed Beta test in 2021... still waiting lol. Thanks for testing out the game. I wanted it to be good too! I was hoping this would be my next game but it doesn't look like it.
Since alpha 4 is live now, lemme get u some insights on my experience. Please note, its the first version I played. >> You gotta find out where your mob camps are. There are lakes with lot of turtles, forests with boars, and empty in between. If you dont pay attention, you will run past the POIs because the fog of war hides shit from you :D >>You can share map pins, so the vauge quests actually force player interaction. Also, I dont like yellow paint gaming in general, so i find it nice. >>If you look closely at the map, you actually can see zones within the zones to give a hint on resource nodes. There are more "rocky" areas with more ore spawns, for example. >>Quests are still more like shopping lists, that introduce you to the various gathering and crafting professions. >>Dialouge can be very funny at times. My fav sofar are the yoga people. taking a piss at western mindfulness pseudo spiritual travellers, that follow some self proclaimed guru (in this case some buff young dude with french accent that did a 2 week workshop to be a shaman) >> I find the RNG in crafting too punishing. You can craft a lvl 10 green item that is weaker than a lvl 1 white item, because of the rolls. Also crafting has a fail chance. That should be changed imo, since if a recipe with expensive mats fails, its alt+f4 tilt mode :D >>Out of combat regeneration: You have talents starting from level 5 and there is a "lone wolf" type talent tree, that gives decent health regen. However, coming by food is not that difficult either. There are multiple fields with different food types around the town. The talent system seems to give a lot of variety to builds. >> On every class I already see multiple build options already, some of which probably are not very early game friendly. >> In combat you gotta permanently move around with all classes, like in a moba, otherwise the game wrecks you. EG. i played the assassin type class, with extra damage from behind. You need to force you enemy to move away from you by gettin out of hitbox range, so you can hit the back every other hit and delay enemy attacks. Enemies got different patterns where you gotta stand for them to move the way you want them. some are slightly faster than you, which will force you to use cc and so forth. Theres maybe like 10-15 mob types ingame right now. But combat feels great. >>Theres a Mount now. So moving around is faster. The Core of the game is very solid. It very clearly gives you a gameplay loop and I also find it clear, that this is meant for testing the core gameplay mechanics. The surely will be a red thread in the release, that guides you through a story. If u want to try it ou, you can pre order the game to get an alpha 4 key. You can get a refund without reason within 2 weeks after alpha 4 ends on 6 september. It surely isnt for everyone, but I see insane potential for future content.
I think your analyse is right i had same points after playing the alpha im all for the idea but i think they went about it wrong. The questing, resource gathering, and mob density/difficulty is way off. The game is to stagnant in the early phase. And movespeed should be upped by 0.25 atleast But on the upside all the problems we have are easy to tweak. And only bug i found was jumping on and over obstacles wasnt really flowing nice sometimes i got stuck on objects i jumped on still think the game got potential but they aint there yet
I think reduce the amount of total quests but keep the discovery way of them the way it is would be good for me. Going into it with a modern thinking of wanting to have guidance via e.g. exclamation point hanging over npc heads and waymarkers everywhere, I can see how it can get frustrating. But I think there is a charm akin to runescape and early ragnarok online where exploring the world (getting lost trying to find your way to places, or finding questlines from a random npc you just talked to without prior knowing theyd have one) really is part of the adventure rather than theme parking through the different zones (WoW or pretty much any modern mmo following it)
Every Single Issue that I had with this Version of the Game...was conveyed in the Video. And, I feel the exact same way about the Game in it's current State.
The biggest problem that I can see is that players are too busy not reading or listening to the instructions given. The rat quest, for example, there are dozens of rats around the quest giver. A lot of the feedback is valid for sure and they really do need to teach players in a different way. The information is there, it's just not presented in a way that people are familiar with.
@@XxWolfxWaRioRxX >NPC tells you there's rats around him in the area >Guys where are the rats the quest log doesn't tell me The intro isn't awful and unintuitive, people are just braindead and completely ignore everything the game tells them. They just want a quest marker so they can shut their brains off.
You mean the guy that makes a living off of reviewing MMO’s thinks the start of the game is shit and you want to fight with that? It’s a shit intro to a game people don’t want to read a fucken novel to complete a quest. It’s a balance and these devs have stated that they are not interested in the balance so fuck them. They made a shitty game because 15 people on the internet liked the idea and it will fail in around two weeks when they file for bankruptcy. But hey as long as they are making a game they want…
The resource gathering where the nodes break immediately was a bug.. But I loved the alpha. I was sooo confused at the start like you. Got lost and died many times for hours! But the more I played, the more I really had to think... which most 'go here' MMORPGs never make me do. Feeling massively overwhelmed but then slowly overcoming the learning gap is really satisfying to me. But that's def not for everyone and this game will need to cater a lot more to new players like you say to hook them if this game is to last long term.
You can get the wood from the pile next to the quest giver, it says so in the text, if you bother listening to it. The quest giver is also talking about how he got to go to "smash some pussy". For the pipe quest, I never found a single pipe, I believe many just bought the pipes somewhere. I ran to multiple cities and areas to try to find any pipes, but none where anywhere to be found. The game is also extremely anti-team work, unless you're a pre-made party. You can't just group up with people you find, because only the highest damage dealer gets all the loot, etc. So it's an MMO that encourages solo/pre-made play only, and you only gain by watching people die instead of helping them, since you get a chance of either killing the mobs after or potentially getting their loot (I think if they never come back to pick up item). The game designer and game directors are completely delusional about the game, and I'm pretty sure it'll flop spectacularly. The type of game it wants to be isn't even an MMO, but a co-op RPG. You could do 90% of what they want to do as just a co-op RPG rather than an MMO. They also refuse to add WASD movement, even though it's not technical hurdle at all. It's just stubbornness from the director/game designer. You'll find that the community is basically behind these things, that the game should be "hard" and "confusing" and that you have to figure out everything yourself and read/listen to every quest multiple times etc... Which is a strong indication that that is what the game director/designer wants.
What frustrated me was quest details not telling you anything. I don’t need quests marked on my map. But some cardinal directions would have been nice. Literally anything other than what they did would have been better. Game has potential though. And you can tell they actually care about what they’re making.
-make it easier to find and gather materials -have more mobs in the in the world and make it easier for new players to kill them -Have some sort of indicator for where quests can be completed (like in wich area or something like that) -Have at least a minimum amount of passive out of combat health regen -Have some some amount of increased movement speed out of combat, specially if your game is based on exploration and constantly moving back and fourth between the city and the wilderness -Overall it needs a lot more clarity in how the game works, at least in the early levels. There is a difference between designing with a low amount of explanation and just beign poorly explained.
You video made like this game even more cant explain why. Ive played alpha 3 and i liked it sure there is alot of rooms for improvement but like that its hard in every aspect of the game sounds to me that it will create a better community over time
For a hardcore MMO player like you not realising that clicking off the resources makes it break, made me chuckle 😂 Its a great game but if you are hasty, you wont have a good time :( I dont play many MMOs yet I still loved it and gave it time! Pumped for Alpha 4
Played for a couple days in alpha 2 and honestly enjoyed myself playing ranger. Feels like the game truly is trying to shove you towards cooperating with your fellows in early game. Taking down mobs solo was super slow (if i didnt have net lvl1 it wouldve been very frustrating tbh) but even with one other person it was more than manageable and i really felt every power up i got in my short time playing.
Man also didn't read or listen to the quests. To be fair the journal should have a full transcript instead of a different, poorly worded, misspelled desription lol
Had a similar experience. Wanted a game like this to be good and then when I got into the alpha it was just so unintuitive I just uninstalled because anything more would be wasting my time. I'll give it another shot at launch but this did not make me optimistic.
im glad that you are very transparent, this games needs some work. I hope with this video you can help the developers to understand what can be improved.
They could learn from Albion Online's resource availability and respawn rate. Gathering and crafting in Albion is great. I'm really looking forward to this game but hope they refine the game first.
Couldn’t agree more. I don’t mind a challenge or a bit of grind but the hour I played felt painful to say the least. Plus the start of an mmo should be the most rewarding in terms of getting you hooked. At this point it’ll take a lot to change my mind on core punk
So many games nowadays not even once during design or development ask themselves "is this fun?" and instead they just make something a focus group tells them is popular.
im not big on alpha tests but would it not be a thing for them to make you play the game as long as you did and give feedback as it is how it is? resources may be low but it makes you grind, they might be trying to find how much you want to grind until youve had enough. but as i said i dont know alpha tests and obviously you do. Been following for a while and hope to see more competitions (IRL) and more game reviews soon as well as hope this game works as much as you because i too like the art style and concept of top down. also SUPER excited for any top down swimming theres a lot of potential 'treasure' there.
@TheLazyPeon can you do a video about LOTRO? I heard they have something similar to wow classic now and it got quite a few new players joining in. they even have a euopean server again. could have potential like warhammer online: return of reckoning you did a while ago
I participated in the last 2 alpha’s. I wish I was excited for this released. But tbh, I was COMPLETELY turned off by the vast majority of the gameplay and systems. This went from being one of my more anticipated titles a few years ago to me actively avoiding now. Sad
What most people found frustrating is exactly what I really liked in this game… this is the MMO I have been waiting for years…. BTW, if you are looking for something; just ask the chat… and tens of people will share a pin on the map with the location… as simple as that…
Stop defending trash game! 99% of players dislike the gameplay of this shit show game... I guess you are one of the people who like to inflict self pain
To be fair the npc says the name of the person and the item ur looking for while talking to them, but no ping to tell u where they are ( they did say they were adding them to the game, Also im glad that another szned mmo player got confused lol
I felt exactly the same. I wanted to like it but it's too rough, looting feels bad, harvesting feels bad, and trying to kill mobs solo feels bad. I really hope the dev team working on this hears these comments from their potential players and makes Corepunk more playable. (Love the perpetual Fog of War idea)
Logged into the game full of hope. The second npc does a hawk tuah line and I'm already half checked out. Played a rogue and my character vc are just "what boomers think zoomers sound like". Fine, I'll just play with audio off and have an audiobook in the background. Queue 5h of running around trying to do any quests, managing only the rat one and then just giving up.
Thanks. I got a weird email invite for the Alpha Test and it was so shady I didn't even think it was legit, so I skipped out on it. Glad I did, this game does not currently seem to be in a playable state. Sorry you had to suffer through this. At the very least you can feel comfort in knowing that you have saved other people's time.
I got pretty excited when I first saw CorePunk. The art is amazing and I liked the idea of an isometric MMO even if it is less immersive. I thought the game had slowly died in development hell until I got an alpha invite a few weeks ago. And it is VERY clunky so far. The dialogue tried too hard to be edgy and I wish I knew more about the world via a cinematic or some sort of intro. I also agree that the limits on resources were too stringent, especially in gathering quests. However I think there are some good bones in there somewhere. I'm still hopeful that they're going to make some big improvements and I can come back, spend some $, and hopefully be part of a niche mmo community.
Hey bro, can you make a video on monster hunter world, since monster hunter wilds is coming somewhere in 2025? I've never played the game but seems fun.
