@wondex666 well thank you. I know I don't speak for everyone but I also know I can't be the only one who feels this way. Thanks for the comment bud. Cheers.
One thing: the base maintenance can suck less *if* you manage to get a hold of a bigger maintenance box. The bigger box allows you to build a bigger base (footprint) without going past 100% maintenance multiplier. It's also recommended if you get a higher quality schematic for the box as it will have more slots and each slot will have a bigger max size (like 300 per slot/stack). However, they only drop from the big rupu / nurr camps. And if you are going to go for the ones from high rarity tiles, the mobs are beefed up by a lot. Plus the rarity gathering system is inconsistent as hell for things like the leather, rupu vines & chitin. Overall, if you don't have a group of at least 3-4 friends that can consistently play with you - there is not reason to bother with this game, in it's current state.
@Gabriel Narate Well the bigger maintenance box would of been nice, but I never seen it drop. It is just one more reason why putting progressing behind RNG drops is a horrible Idea. The higher quality materials would have been a good idea, though I'm not sure they were around when I actually stopped playing. For a few weeks I was only logging on to farm the "daily tax" to keep my base up, not actually "playing." That last statement is something I can agree with 100% "Overall, if you don't have a group of at least 3-4 friends that can consistently play with you - there is not reason to bother with this game, in it's current state." You are completely right. I don't have that group, so I won't bother with Season 5. Thanks for the comment bud. I appreciate it.
When I realized the entirety of my gaming would be: grind quality tile. Move to higher quality tile. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Same mobs just a little tougher. All the while tripping and climbing over the smallest thing built on my walker. Now the quality wipe and start over. I'm gonna peace out until the fix something. Season 4 had problems but was far better!
You know, the idea that "Season X had problems, but it was far better" seems to be common thought among players I've talked to. I hope they make some changes and bring us back. Thanks for the comment, bud. Cheers.
Played this game when it came out 1st and have been jumping in and out but with it like this no not for me I am not playing a game I have to spend my time farming to stop the base from falling down
@Gar R Yep, I agree with you. I've been playing since day one, on and off as well. As I've said in the video, this 'need' to endlessly farm materials just to keep the base up kills the drive to play. Thanks for the comment bud, and I hope next season is better.
another point about the base uilding that seerely impacts the enjoyment of it is the fact that since you are forced to build and base and it serves nearly no pvp purposes anymore i feel deconstructing a part should give back all or most of the materials, i gather a bunch of matts to build a roof, i want my roof to look a bit nicer so i need to build some scaffolding to do that, ohw but i cant mix and match materials so i need to build scaffolds out of my building materials and bam suddenly im without resources because most went to the scaffolds and i only get half of it back
@1killi2 I've had that problem as well. Mine was, me building at the piece would snap in the wrong place, so I'd have to keep replacing it. Also, The "cant mix and mat materials" is annoying as well. 100% agree with you. Thanks for the comment bud! Cheers.
The moment they took away the nomadic aspect of the game with the permenent base i was upset but the whole season is as you said slap in our face we got nothing that we realy wanted i as a solo player gave up the moment i started to work to maintain me base and the schametics are ok idea but the execution is bad if we needed to find schmetics to perm learn stuff ok but once you need one for every axe or ffs ammo whats the point
@Avi Isreal You bring up a good point. I brought this up too in one of my earlier videos, that the schematic system wouldn't be a big deal if we could learn from them. If we find the schematic and it teaches us how to make an Axe, Walls, Walker parts, etc then sure. Not a problem. But needing the paper each and every time for every thing is just busy work. And again, I agree with you on the Nomadic aspect. That made the game different than other survival games. Made it stand out. They gutted it, and made it just another survival game. Took away the charm and reason we were playing it to begin with. Thanks for the comment bud! I appreciate it. Cheers.
I loved your honest opinion of the game and lets hope the game will not die but will get better and you got my subscription and i will be happy for more videos 👏
Totally agree with you. I stopped playing about a week ago. Just couldn't be bothered anymore. The game is such a chore in S5. I kind of enjoyed the schematics early on, but they quickly become REALLY annoying. There are just way too many of them. A huge amount of game time is wasted just sifting through and organizing schematics. I wish they would change it to a system where you unlock all tech with frags (no tablets) and just needed schematics as a building requirement for complex machinery (big walkers, advanced walker parts, advanced crafting stations, Wingsuits/mechsuits, etc.) This way you remove the rng from progression, and you greatly reduce the hassle with schematics while still giving you an incentive to attack the Rupu camps. Then bring back the old quality system (with some minor tweaks). This had good progression as opposed to the current system, that has none. And lastly bring back walker packers and mobile bases! These huge static bases are just such a pointless resource drain. Oh, and let us lobby things, in case I need to take a break from the game a couple of weeks. Do they really expect many players start all over again, once all of their stuff has turned to dust? Seems to me their goal is to get rid of players as quickly as possible....
@Remy Spierings you're saying a great many things I hear in my head haha. I was actually a fan of the tablet / skill tree system because so long as I can go places to find shards it felt like I was progressing. The massive problem I had with it was having to go to the static machines where people waited for you to bring your hundreds of shards to jump you as you turned them into tablets. That being said, I'm sure there can be a better way. The part of your comment that struck me the most was the Lobby system. YES! Bring that back. Take off the garbage "Layout system" on our walkers, let us fill it with boxes and go offline. That way no matter when we get back on we have our stuff. And yes, they really do expect players to start over again if they can't play for what ever reason. This is why I say there is no "Middle ground" for Last Oasis. You are either committed to playing, or you uninstall. To be honest, the game isn't worth the commitment at this point. By their player count on steam, there are thousands of people who came to this same conclusion. Thanks for the comment bud, and I hope IF they make positive changes, we see each other in the sands. Cheers bud ^^
@@DublinOdinson Indeed, it's such a shame because this game has so much potential, but the devs keep making such strange choices. I've given up on season 5. My hope is that some other studio, with a bit more sense, takes over the IP. That would certainly bring me back.
@@remyspierings9848 hahaha well that is one way to fix it. I don't think it will happen. Snail Games Own Last Oasis, Ark, Atlas, Pixark, and Dark and Light. They let Dark and Light die and just left it on steam. It only has 79 players playing right now. I don't see them selling the IP they appear to be happy just sitting on it.
Thank you for this video, I was thinking of buying the game since I like anything with mobile bases or such. But now I have decided against it since I am not the PVP type, least of all in survival games. And I love customization. So yeah, they messed it up, but thanks for telling folks like me who were considering the purchase.
@Hayden Carn you're more than welcomed, bud. While I hate to see them miss out on a sale, I'd rather you didn't lose money on a game you would not enjoy. If you're Not into PvP then I would stay away from Last Oasis. Even though the Dev team are talking about their "PvE" plans, it is obvious they want to force PvP in one way or another. They can't get over the fact that the majority of their (Now gone) player base just does not want to PvP. Either way, thanks for the comment, cheers ^^
Bummer I enjoyed watching you play this game and was gonna buy it to try and join in with you and Combat. But think I will wait to see if any changes are made for the better. TTYI
Well if they make some changes, at LEAST ditch the Schematic system, i'll be back. I'd love to roll with you, Supercrew. Not sure if Combat would be in, but we can find out. Cheers bud!
You have put all my thoughts into word, thanks. I think had they added all the pve stuff to the game they had. Added the pve servers like they did. We would have been set. lock quality behind pvp risk. People who wanted to avoid pvp could trade for quality. bam look at that, there is an economy. Leave walkers being able to be logged off the side of the map. We are nomads not base builders. Mobile bases/Highly custom walkers are what set this game apart. Boom would have had a winning game. Season 6 could have been improving Rupu AI lol
@Cilvath The Lost I love your trading idea. Could make tons of coins, floats, or what ever they called their money on the little Auction house. You're right, if they would have added in the PvE stuff into the game we had, it would have went much better. Instead, they made drastic changes it seems no one wanted. It is what it is. Maybe they'll learn... maybe they won't. Time will tell. Cheers bud, thanks for the comment.
@TreeNinja420 While I'm happy that the Season 4 game still exist, as it was better gameplay, I'd rather just not play. I only came back to Last Oasis because of the PvE element. If I could have Season 4, with all PvP im down. However, I'd rather avoid PvP in this game completely.
While I personally think a couple of the gripes aren't as bad as you say they are, like javelin aim-boting isn't nearly as bad anymore (I've found I can dodge them fairly easily now), you've mainly made very agreeable points to me and it was an overall fair assessment of the game in its current condition. Sad that DC is really killing LO the way they are. Anyone who came here new for s5 is scorned on this game and will likely never return.
@Dominick Sica I know they tweaked the aim-botting a bit, but I still found it to be a pain. When it comes to the people being scored on Season 5, I think you're right... but hope you're not. I don't want to see this game completely die. Though, at the same time as it sits now, it sucks. I don't want to play it. It is hard to support a game when you cant stand playing it, you know? Thanks for the comment bud. Cheers.
agree in most points - they took all the best features away and added difficulty to an extent that is is just hard grind nothing else - also taking away the ability logging your walker with base in the lobby and go for a holliday does not help the fun at all - it feels more like a chore than fun
@tomschannel5380 you nailed it. It is a chore to play, not a joy. And seeing as steam charts says that as of today, 5/1/24, there are only 97 people playing. It has been over a year since I made this video, and NOTHING has changed. It is a dead game. Just remember that when they push their next title out, Bellwright. They are going to pass it off as their NEXT HIT, let it go in early access... take your money, and let it sit and die in early access.
After I saw the big negative recent reviews on Steam I thought to try reinstall the game and see what happen and what changed. Oh boy it is WORSE than when I first started playing Last Oasis close when they released, as you said the tutorial don't tell you much as before, I'm struggling to figure out how to unlock the tech tree as it so different as before no fragment shards and/or tablet to unlock the tech. after seeing your vid as I have read that I have to unlock at the Rupu shrine no wonder I'm looking at the wrong structure to try unlock tech I've been carrying around.... what even worse Rupu attacks (even the easiest one) hit so bloody harder as before, just 2 simple hits and I'm out, NOT a good way to start off the game :/ The item quality also changed into item grades which is also bad thing, when I tried to build the 1st wood crafting to start off but only got epic tablet to build, what are the chances to gather up the epic materials! also as mentioned in this vid the maintenance box..... dude that's much like Rust and I agree the larger you add structure the more you need to add materials to keep up the maintenance from decaying. I think Last Oasis is becoming too much strain for solo and duo to carry on playing this game as it no easy task to progress on, I have played nearly 200 hours before dev made the game worser (around season 3 last time I played) I really enjoyed playing Last Oasis back then just lack of having teaming up or being under attacked too many times from players. it would be brill if the devs undo these horrible changes and put mixture of oasis grids to have pve and pvp so as you said to have battle arena in pvp if anyone fancied the fight and get better resource there while pve just to relax and only deal with Rupu as well recover the recent battle/s and build up stock before moving onto the next Oasis
@307Gareth Wait, you looked at all the negative reviews THEN decided to give it a try? Haha, mad lad. Well I guess it is best to trying things out for yourself, and make your own mind up about it. That being said, it looks like you've come to the same conclusion as I, and many, many others have: "I think Last Oasis is becoming too much strain for solo and duo to carry on..." As you said and implied, the game needs a crew of people farming to keep your base up. There is so much I want them to change back, then just focus on PvE content. Sadly, reading their dev blogs and updates does little to build my confidence that they will listen to their players. They make polls and ask questions but then do fuck all with the answers. It is massively disappointing. Anyway, thanks for the comment bud, I appreciate it. Cheers!
Your very welcome @@DublinOdinson it's sad really, they've made the game really well and brill from the start then made it worse on season 5... they made a complete overhaul and still early access so I'm guessing they going to see how people react to these new changes setting and if a lot of players didn't like it (big obvious!) they'll reverse back to the setting as before? (I hope!!!)
@@307Gareth Well they are still in the testing phase, some would say. So we never know how the game will end up. Fingers crossed it will be something we want to play.
I started playing in season 4 and I enjoyed it a lot. I stopped playing it because I didn't have any friends to play with. Then season 5 came our so I gave it a second chance which I had friends to play with but now I have no friends to play with because it kind of a bummer especially that they just now took away all the quality items tiles. Pretty much I'm saying the last patches killing it for me
@Juan Del Real Yeah friends absolutely makes this game better. And again, yeah, this patch killed it for me as well. With any luck Donkey Punch will see the massive drop in players along with the poll they did and make some POSITIVE changes. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the comment bud. Cheers ^^
I will be honest i get some of your points and I remember feeling them the first couple days as well. But at this stage with the changes 90% of what you talked about seems to be only related to folks staying in the cradle.. once you migrate to a med tile the SCH your talking about are so abundant that you sell them at trade in stacks of 10 left and right just for the floats. Pending your region some markets are doing stuff which has saved me some time spending them that way, SG maps are just about to release and they said in their last notes that melee purpose would be getting some love this go around. for the base building ... if you played a lot last few seasons the bases all looked about the same mostly square, that being said once you get to a hanger the cost goes down a ton!.. and you can build light wood from the hanger walls not the other way around. Some of these details need to be better ingame intel but part of this game is not holding your hand through the entire experience.. and yes some time that is painful but I think you get my gist.. To each their own but I would stick it out let the rest of the testing and S5 stuff play out and get fine-tuned its going in the right direction. Some of the perks you mentioned I also love but remember they came with a cost and that cost is something that killed the game for most players.. Hope to see ya on the sand regardless.. If you need any tips or anything to improve your quality of life in game etc etc ... feel free to hit me up.
@Cpt Zyph That was a great comment. It was well thought out, sectioned up, and easy to read. Thank you! You bring up some points I want to touch on, so let’s go over them. Okay, I’m going to stop you at you’re here at your first point. We moved to a medium map pretty quickly. Hell, the only footage used during the video of a cradle was when I was showing the walker packing/unpacking ability back in an earlier season. The rest was all on a medium map. I’ll agree with you that schematics drop often, but in our case, it was uncommon to get what we were actually needing or looking for. Sure, we got endless schematics like ammo, simple tools, rupu armor, small water bottles, backpacks and grappling hooks. Hell, they dropped so much we started leaving them behind. However, we had trouble finding walker parts for upgrades, legs, or wings. It may have just been a case of bad luck in the RNG, but THAT is the problem. That is why I dislike the system in general. I don’t want my progression to be locked behind what I am lucky enough to find. As for the base building, I never found the hanger schematic so I don’t know how the taxing system differs. However, if the price does go down for the larger hangers, why would that be the case? You think the easier, more manageable bases would be the earlier ones. The light wood, sand etc, right? That way people could focus on building up, rather than maintaining what they have. Forcing people to farm large amounts of materials just to keep the base up weeds out casual players. Because of this system, there is no middle ground in Last Oasis, you’re either all-in, or it is best not to play. You will lose everything if you can’t log on and grind up materials. This my friend, is one of biggest reasons why I think the game is dying. Aside from forced PvP, people will reach the realization that playing this game requires an endless commitment, and make the choice to quit. One of the main reasons I quit was because I had to leave town for a little over a week. That absence from the game caused me to lose my base, my walkers, and most importantly I lost all my schematics. Basically, it returned me to square one, showing off how there was no progression outside of collecting schematics. So, I spawned back in on a medium map with nothing, not even armor or weapons. I started to try and farm up to rebuild but honestly, I didn’t enjoy the game enough to put myself though the grind again. Knowing that if I had to leave again, or for whatever reason I couldn’t get on every few days to farm up “tax materials” would cause me to lose everything once more… well it made the choice to leave that much easier. All and all, the way the game is right now just isn’t for me. However, I’m glad you are thriving. I hope “Donkey Crew” can make some positive changes that will draw me back because I do like this game. Like their other games: Ark, Dark and Light, and Atlas, they have a great core game… they just make really odd choices that end up causing people to leave. Either way, thanks again for the comment as well as the offer to help me out. You are appreciated. Cheers bud ^^
@@DublinOdinson for sure.. i have blasted them for the L removal.. i understood why hey had to do it due to exploiting tactics but they offered nothing in its place.. I also get this a major shift and this is common for beta / alpha testing and if they advertised it a bit better and everyone came in expecting alpha testing I think it would of felt a lot better for the users.. my self included. I will say the diff in the hanger base is beyond major. And if you had friends and were sharing a hanger I am guessing you built over your build limit pretty fast.. especially being a builder-type player etc etc... (on that note making 2 story hangers and ramps for depo garage and airlocks is starting to flesh out so .. it will come to its own again soon.. i think..) once your hanger is stocked and ammo is flowing honestly it sounds like you were hitting the wrong camps. I do admit my RNG is not the best BUT..... they are changing it and recently did a big change on the rupu drops just for regular material. My hardship was always hanger walls and heavy raw hand bone axe. I believe by that nature they don't want to it to be a tech lock.. more so they want it to drive a market need and I will say some of the tiles near me have them for sale so I just buy them and sell old SCH for the flots to pay for them but I am a bit lazy after 5 seasons of farming *) Maybe let it flesh out a bit and the SG maps drop for the next tier .. I will say they added some bone and tweaked out the nomad cloth req for bone tier which help a ton I will admit. I am rambling I would Say big point changes are 1) OverBuilding is a Major Hit.. and the size diff to the hanger is major just think of tile cost alone.. a 2x2x2 hanger with 2 hanger doors is only 18 tiles.. my chest typically has 638hrs of time in it at all times fully stocked.. and I leave my other mats to craft with in light chests.. I also only used light chests to reduce the redwood cost slot etc etc but I still have mixed feelings on that .. High-quality version let you stack and inc slot count by a MASSIVE amount.. so a simple green or blue chest would make a major difference. in that regard. 2) drop tables are being tweaked and I think they are try'n to push a better need for market use. They also said some tiles for quality will be PvE so that will not be locked by pvp in the long term. 3) the walker rigs and custom layout.. as unique as it felt if you did play any pvp you only set things up 1 way .. the meta way.. 1000x flags.. weird blocking weapons to buy you time to get to trade.. etc .. the custom feel wasn't really playing out in practice and obv the player base was leaving etc so I was willing to let that go if it meant more walker action and more walker combat. That has definitely gone up a TON that's why their recent notes for SG release was they would be to focus on adding more melee farming options to reduce the need to farm ammo so so much. *** not perfect obv but .. I will say I like fighting from the walkers more then the other seasons. Sorry for the letter I got interrupted with work about 50x trying to respond. *)
@@cptzyph1449 Hey bud, all of this sounds like a TON of work for a "game" haha. So the hangers are huge then? If a 2 x 2 takes up 18 squares I would think it takes much less resources to keep that base up. The problem is, that id need to build back up to the point where I can find the schematics and honestly, I just dont like the game enough to do that. I absolutely hate the schematic system to the point where I'd rather not play; and no one is going to convince me that is it a good or fun thing. I don't care if they are "easy to find" for some people. Having ALL of your progression tied to RNG and bits of paper you can lose if you don't log on for "x" amount of time is the stupidest game design I've seen out of them. As for the Walker Rigs and custom layouts, I didn't pvp. So I didn't use 1000x Flags. I built it the way I wanted it. A fireplace to make water and offer light, boxes, some ballista, etc. You're not going to convince me that because "people did it this way" means it is best for me to give up my choice in my walker. I don't enjoy it, we had better. Even if they used 1000x flags (what ever that means) if you take away the PvP there is no need for that anymore, right? SO give us back our original walkers. Base packing and all. At the end of the day, Im glad some people are enjoying Season 5 but it seems like most did not. The numbers do not lie. People can tell me "The changes are great" until they are blue in the face... but I just look at the steam charts to see what people honestly think. As of Right now, Last Oasis has a Population of 323 players in the last 24hrs. Lets check in with some other survival games. Conan Exiles: 29,835 players in the last 24hrs (has true progression and a PvE Only option) Ark: 56,801 players in the last 24hrs (has true progression and a PvE Only option) 7 Days to Die: 24,092 players in the last 24hrs (has true progression and a PvE Only option) My point is, players love a GOOD survival game, Last Oasis is just not a good game. Not right now at least. Don't get me wrong, I hope that changes, but you'll have to forgive my lack of faith in the "Snail Games" group. They do little to inspire confidence.
@@DublinOdinson I get ya just feel like all the above games have been out much longer and didn't have that player base at the start either .. i hope it gets there tho as I have played them and feel this potential has it to each their own tho. ) time will tell
@@cptzyph1449 Yeah bud, you're right. They have been out longer, but that kind of proves my point even more. They are old to very old games, yet they still have thousands on thousands of players. Meanwhile, Last Oasis had a chance to create a new game learning from the old. Yet, they have seemed to have failed so far. Im with you, Last Oasis has massive potential. Though it is up to the Dev team to bring it out... and so far they have taken steps backwards. Yeah, time will tell. We'll just have to wait and see.
I don't think there is an understanding of PVE in the approach from Donkey Crew, they still think that PVP will revive the game falsely. Unlike you I have no problem with schematics as I have multiples of ten in all schems, no problem with building bases, no problem with maintenance (plan and think) and I enjoy the challenge of the Rupu's, no click and win just plan (yes) your strategic attacks. Now I have never played an MMO, never played Last Oasis (A total online MMO virgin) so I am not comparing it with what went before. Not one youtuber approached this game through the fresh eyes of a new player, I struggled to understand what works and how it works but mastered it in the end, although I still don't understand/master a lot of things. My pet hate is the insta-spawn, when attacking a fortress a Nurr camp will suddenly spawn in or another Fortress spawn next to you while the original will then despawn... give the solo player a break...O and the not so RNG sandstorm or the frog (defeated) that does not respond to F to get the bone juice.... well you did ask for comments, will stop here otherwise my soapbox will break.
Hah, never even thought about the instant spawns. YEP that is a pain as well. I know some people don't have a problem with the schematic system, but did you play from day one? Did you use the tablet system before? To each their own bud, I hope you enjoy the game. Seriously, I don't want this game to fail, so I hope there are people out there who enjoy it even if I don't. Either way, thanks for your comment and good luck in the sands. Cheers bud!
@@DublinOdinson Season 5 was my first dabble with the game, don't get me wrong there is plenty of misery in the game, grinding to replace short lived tools to name just one, shame they never made more about walking the map, give the player some goggles, a net to protect the walker and some high powered rupu in remote locations with the best schematics.... I would never have played season 1 to 4 ... toxic players and when I saw a well known RU-vidrs clan being toxic against a solo player I knew that game was not for me..... hopefully you will take another look in the future but it is a hard game for a tuber to make entertaining.... All the best.
@@greenarmchair3211 You are not wrong when it comes to the Toxic players or the fact that it is hard to make this game entertaining. So, if you didn't live though the Tablet days I can see why this is all "okay" for you. We had better. Walkers were better, Progression was better, the grind itself felt better. If you were "born" into this game during season 5, then this is all you know. I'm with you bud, I hope things change enough to have me want to take another look. I do REALLY like Last Oasis, but this version of the game isn't fun enough to keep playing.
i try this game about once a year on xbox. I want to like it butnow they have just nerfed the quality system i have just given up and uninstalled, not to mention that console ui is still as bad as it was in the beginning, walker upgrades and the trader are a nightmare to navigate on xbox, but the grind now is just too much, i keep logging into my base dead my boxes got nerfed all my gear was in bags so i decided to move, but the quality system now? forget it
@Frog Mastiff I've only played it on PC so I can't attest to the UI layout on consoles. However, if it is a nightmare like you say, I'm glad I avoided it. However, logging into my base dead was something that happened to me often. It was like ANOTHER punishment for not logging in every day. Again, this game has no middle ground, you either play every day or so, or you just uninstall. Seems like you and I came to the same conclusions best to just uninstall. If they make changes will you give it another chance, or are you just done altogether? Either way, thanks for the comment bud. Cheers.
@@DublinOdinson honestly i want to like this game and i got into just after season 5 rolled in i was kind of hopeful, took me 4 attempts to get my head around the new system and i think i kept playing out of spite, it was hard i really struggled with it. But i managed to get to a decent place on one character, but then they rug pull you with changes week on week and the grind just gets worse, and where is their focus pvp pve i dont know and do the devs? i will play it again but not for a while
@@frogmastiff8198 Yeah bud, I get it. While some people will argue that "the game is still in development, so changes will happen", that doesn't mean you have to play if you're not having fun. With all games, we buy them to enjoy our free time, and if a game feels like a chore there isn't a reason to play them.
First off, I don’t speak Portuguese, so I’m going to use google translate. Forgive me if it is terrible. Você tem razão. No entanto, o jogo não é divertido o suficiente para fazer você querer ser criativo. A construção da base era mais divertida antes desta atualização. Gostei muito mais dos caminhantes do que de construir uma base. Obrigado pelo comentário. Cheers bud o7
Its like youve read all of my comments and made a video lol. Game is dead. Devs lit it on fire when they wiped everyones items back to white. Too interested in forcing pvp which almost no one wants even their own pole showed as much. Yet they still turn around and force pvp.
@NukedUp YEP, this team likes to make their own changes, even if it goes against what their player base is asking for. I guess in a way that is cool; do your own thing and all. However, don't be surprised when that player base leaves your game behind. Thanks for the comment, bud. Maybe they'll make some positive changes and I'll see you in the sands. Cheers.
@@DublinOdinson Seriously though post this in their official DC. Have already quit cuz they wiped all my gold walkers equipment and schematics but ide come back if they full reversed and knocked off the forced pvp bs
@@NukedUp I'm not on their Discord anymore, but if You are feel free to post this wherever you'd like. Especially if you think it will reach Donkey Crew.
Was so excited when I saw it was released on Xbox only to see reviews that the current season destroyed the whole game, someone needs to be fired or rehired at these studios, must be a bunch of yes men telling there boss he is a genius, just put everything back to what it was for six and save this damn game, killing a great game from pure stupidity
I don't know if it is a bunch of yes-men that is the problem. When you look at the studio behind Last Oasis you see that is it "Snail Games". This studio is notorious for its bad design choices. Their games include Ark, Dark & Light, and Atlas. It seems they ignore feedback and just kind of do what ever they want. Modders and privet servers are what keeps most of their games alive, allowing the player base to change/fix the things the dev team just won't. Though, I completely agree with you. They are killing a great game out of pure stupidity. They run polls and ask for feedback but then ignore it all. Like the Schematics, they heard we hated it so what was their fix? "Oh you don't like the schematic system? Alright, well now you can buy in game loot boxes with random schematics." Anyway, I'm with you bud. I hope they make actual meaningful, positive changes IF season six comes out. Thanks for the comment, cheers.
As of today. 5/2/23 Steam charts say there is a 24hr peak of a whopping 216 players. It seems like Snail Games are too focused on milking more money out of ARK players to worry about making Last Oasis better. If you haven't bought the game yet, don't. **EDIT** As of today, 9/7/23 they are down to a 24hr peak of 64 players.
@@LudoLive Well, it looks like Last Oasis is just another game abandoned by Snail games. They are moving onto another cash grab, making another game as I type this. Also, they are broke and need to take loans out to finish work on the Ark update. This game is dead.
I agree with the aimbot rupu but it has gotten better with a hotfix. Camps are really not that hard though. I’m a duo and we take on every camp in game with minor difficulty unless they’re quality. Definitely the game is hard in the beginning without a doubt but it gets better and easier.
@Joel A the game in general is much easier with a friend. I started as a Duo and things were better, but by the end It was just me alone. After I got back form a week away EVERYTHING was gone, and I was a square one. So, building up again was slow going and a pain. Either way, Im glad you're having fun and doing well in it. Are the hard maps up yet? Do you plan on going for quality materials? Thanks for the comment bud ^^ Cheers!
You basically summed it up. Wife and I feel the same way. The original game was fantastic but we left because of the troll zergs. All they had to was make a pvp zone that you can go to for fighting, and leave the game the way it is, then add more content. They made the game so much worse that its sad. Wife and I were so excited to come back for season 5 but ended up wasting hours on doing nothing. rip.
@hjxflavor RIGHT!? If they just left the game alone. moved PvP to an arena or something and left everyone play... it would have gone so much better. Sorry you and your wife fell for the same trap we all did. Came for the draw of PvE and got saddled with all of these pointless, horrible changes that no one asked for. Thanks for the comment, bud. Hope we all get a better game IF season 6 happens. Cheers.
the game is a PVP game at its core and the intent is to provide a reason to make people to to pvp zones or pay market prices for things to avoid the PVP.. that being said obv a market must be there for this to play out.. but PvP was not balanced and broken so ergo so many of the issues mentioned above.. you said you left because of the zergs.. a PvP zone would not solve any of the core issues with game play retention etc or they would of just done that with the event tiles. Why did you not try a private relm?
@@cptzyph1449 While you’re right, the game was initially created to be a PvP Game, I think recent population numbers would show that the PvP model of the game isn’t working. If they want to save this game, they will need to appeal to the non-hard-core players and casuals. A PvP zone as @hjxflavor is talking about would fix a large problem with Zergs. It would be just a zone to fight in. Not a PvP tile to farm mats up, but a zone specifically for players to brawl in. PvE players would just avoid these tiles as if they didn’t exist and PvPers would have a place to go to rip one and other apart. Also, private realms have their own issues. If you join someone’s then at any point it can go offline and you’re done. You lose everything at the whim of a stranger. Now, if you host your own you need to pay for the service, and that is not something many are willing, or able to make that happen.
I hear you man, but it sounds like you haven't really progressed much? You're using basic tier tools and walkers, and complaining about not having gotten anywhere? Schematics drop like crazy.
@Izawwlgood If the game isn't fun enough to want to make us "progress" than it is safe to say there is something wrong. If I was the only one saying this stuff, then yeah... you would have a point. I just need to get good. However, I'm NOT the only one voicing this opinion. Thousands of people have said the same thing as I am, and have left the game. Steam Charts right now list Last Oasis as: 285 players in the last 24hrs. Down from an all time peak of 33,104. If you're saying the game is much more fun later on, then Donkeycrew needs to change that, and make the game much more fun earlier. Either way, thanks for the watch and the comment. I hope you're enjoying the game bud. Cheers!
@@DublinOdinson I'm not really in disagreement that the current progression needs work, but I don't agree with you about the schematic system itself being a problem. The all time peak was back in S1 on release, and it dropped precipitously as soon as the burn was introduced. If the game isn't your jam, then you can't argue taste, and I won't! But I think, based on the video you posted, that it's possible you didn't give S5 a fair shake. Progression isn't that hard, and is WAY easy with a buddy or two. Schematics aren't a limiting factor with once you tackle some of the SG content.
@@Izawwlgood I can see where you're coming from bud, but I absolutely hate the schematic system. It kills the progression feeling. You never feel like you actually progress. One long weekend away and you lose your base and everything in it. So you start from scratch again. You don't know anything, can't build anything... until you find schematics. I hate it, and again... Im not alone in this. Donkeycrew put up a poll in one of their Sep. 14th "Rarity Update" post. The poll asked "In general, I enjoy the schematic system." The combined answers were Yes, I agree : 545 Neither: 205 No, I disagree: 1,044 The Vast majority of their own poll, Dislike the schematic system. It is a terrible system and AT LEAST 1044 people agree with me. You'll have to agree to disagree here, because you're not going to convince me otherwise.
this ridiculous hording or schematics, ridiculously hard rupu, no progression and hard points on walkers with no traveling bases?.... i dont know wtf these guys think they are trying out... but they are killing their own game. the lock points on the walkers and not traveling with a base 100% kills this game for me. very sad.
@David Broski you are not wrong at all. They are in fact killing their game. Steam Charts have Last Oasis at only 252 players in the last 24hrs. I haven't played since this video, and have ZERO plans on returning until things are changed back, or at least the schematics are ditched. What about you? What would get you happy and excited to play again?
@@DublinOdinson Schematics have to go, traveling bases return and definitely get rid of walker hard points. Seriously though... who in the community requested hard points on walkers? I'd like to fight this person. I have a 0% chance of returning after seeing this today until these are reversed. At the very least they can make the skills learned permanently after 5 have been gathered without extra steps. I would still go out and search if they remove the restrictions they put on being mobile... which is incredible considering the very premise of the game is to be a nomad. Unreal.
its also typically the driving force behind the game being around most survival games for that matter. Obv there are some exceptions but they are more single player with friends based and not quite the same game comparable. Take a big title like Eve Online.. without the PvP they would not have the market system they have or the world for the PvE players to actually play the game living only in high sec all the time.. just super hard to strike a balance and in today's market .. with attention spans and expectations and all game developers trying to use a DevOps deployment style to gaming .. sadly I think that's why they all feel the same. This one still feels different bad or good and ill help em test it till its solid if they let me *)
i will say this, while i whole heartedly agree that season 5 of this game sucks, and that it takes away what made last oasis great there is the option on steam to play the game on season 4, which reverts the game back to making the walkers mobile bases, and the most important part, the schematics dont exist, with the old progression trees back had it not been for me learning this fact, i would have stopped playing last oasis there are obviously no official season 4 servers, but there are some unofficial ones, the one i play on is pve. but that is because i personally enjoy the pve aspect of the game, while also enjoying my walker base. the only reason i have a stationary base is due to needing to build a better furnace for cooking ore, and windmills for torque to make more tablets from fragments it is everyones own choice if they still play this game or move on. but i know that i am glade that i can return to season 4 and will keep playing the game until its end, no matter how far away or soon it may be
I had no idea you could play season 4. However I don't think that matters much. Steam charts say the game is down to 76 players right now and a 24hr high of 118. This seems like it is just another game Snail Games will just abandon.
i have no doubt, and as i said. each person makes their own choice to play a game or not. end of the day, we play games cause we enjoy them. i hope that whatever game your playing. you are enjoying yourself :)@@DublinOdinson
