Pretty neat to see what you can do in the Alpha. Played the pre a little and it was just way too bare bones for me to figure out what was going on. Obviously i'm a crappy tester

It's all about having the solid base to the game. I haven't played but look at Albion whom just went over to steam and raked in some new players and keeping the game alive that way. Though these games when they start out small go downhill quick. There are no gimmicks, either the game will be good and people will want to play or it won't be and no matter how rosy we get, it's just not logically going to survive.

As soon as I saw that they had ideas on biomes. It dawned on me that they definitely need to make sure these biomes are diverse and have different feels and layouts to them. I wonder if there is any idea on mixed or cross biomes? Either 70/30 or a small section of one biome within another biome.

We could have a plains that has a small section in the middle with a grassland section or a small marsh within a forest. It I think depends on how large the biomes are and how much physical game world they will take up if this will be possible.

Drops some different biome ideas that you guys have and maybe it will help make the game world a more coherent and diverse location to roam.

Wow it's wild to think now there is more than 30000 posts. that's pretty nuts

Looks like a fun game! Hopefully they bring something new to the sandbox genre that allows the world to thrive.

I very much like the subtle detail in these outfits. They look rustic but I could definitely see someone wearing them in this time / tech level.

Just as the guy above me said. I agree that exploration and a new world is a pretty cool thing. I like to see what the developers had in mind for this world.

I always hope for a robust and cool system for handling dungeons that make you feel like you are actually exploring the world around the area you are in. It can be instanced but it should reflect the feel and design of the area it was in so that it can portray more depth.

I'm hoping for an open and expanse world area that is different and explorative and that has areas where only challengers of deep might can go. I like places that always remain a mystery because they are always more dangerous than most people can handle. It allows the mystery to permeate and give rise to great victors and deep forethought.

Yeah I also noticed that a lot of people have either taken notice of the game and it is quite impressive to see more backing after the initial kickstarter that, I guess really went well all on its own.

I think making it progressively go back to it was over time. Maybe in 5 different settings between taken and lost to the animals of the area. Definitely cool. I just think that if they make the area zone out gradually it will feel more real than if it goes from one state to another.

That's perfect. I will go watch anytime. Cool beans

I believe they said it would not be up in small intervals but in chunks of days. Hopefully with the idea of either hot fixing things quickly during those blocks or just waiting till between blocks.

@j4po is this a good thing? I never played AO so im trying to get a sense of where you feel it is. More positive or negative?

I remember you can buy a vip membership as others have said. People voiced their concerns about the VIP veering into p2w territory and it was tailored backa little bit. They are really trying to level the play field between everyone including those who pay extra.

Brings that Catan feel where you can trade goods across long distances. Lost lands. etc.

I mean for one it definitely is more like sush Diablo or path of exile where the game is more fluid vs just Target and spamming ability keys. Gaining power ina non linear, traditional sense, where you gain it by doing activities, rather than in 5672 xp points to next level.

I also enjoy that each race will play differently but will all be able to interact.

Definitely some good stuff

Welcome, Hopefully there is good discussion that helps you to understand all the things going on in the game!

I would like to join. I think the merc life is where it is at. Always loved and hated.

Hopefully the labyrinth turns into a scary place for the adventurers of great resolve! It should be scary because what else is there about being trapped into an unlimited deadly maze
