Nice review. I was really excited about this game but, to be honest, was put off by the launch purchase options. Seems like Id be getting into a pay to play situation very fast, kind of what got me with Star Citizen (completely different time period, but if youve played it, I think my comparison would make sense). Im still on the fence, as its tempting, but I feel like I keep getting burned by these games that come in strong then fizzle (New World for example). For now, I suppose I'll be watching others to see if this is all gonna pan out... but thank you so much for giving such an indepth review of the systems and mechanics of the game thus far. Much appreciated!

I haven’t played Star Citzen but I know what you’ve made the comparison and it makes sense. I’m not sure how it’s going to pan out, but having played the Alpha, it was good fun doing the crafting and building, so it was worth getting at launch to see how it goes.

This could be a modern day ultima online if they properly balance things and continuously update. Looks like that's where they are headed. Would be cool if they implement an animal taming skill. Start by taming deer and such, and once you're high enough in the skill and can figure out how to survive against; and tame a dragon(I don't know if the game has dragons), you can go forth with your dragon pet. Not to mention taming mounts etc. Bought the game earlier, haven't played yet but looking forward to it.

@@CasualGamerYT interesting. I'll probably join the discord too so I can try to plant some seeds in the devs minds lol. I'm an avid gamer and it seems to me like what they have so far is exactly what I've been looking for.... And I've been looking for a Long time. I see the potential. Hopefully they stay true to the concept and listen to their target market rather than pandering to the masses... Many games have been ruined that way, but meanwhile if they had stayed the course, they'd get the masses anyways. Good video, cheers!

The game is getting a lot of hate that honestly kind of baffles me. It’s a niche game for sure, but at 100+ hours in, I've loved it both solo and now in a clan for many of the same reasons you mentioned. I get to (virtually) live out my fantasy life as a green witch in a cottage in the forest - what's not to love?? 😂
@CasualGamerYT4 күн бұрын
I think maybe some of it comes from people starting the game with a pre-conceived notion of what it is. This idea of a social sandbox survival game in a world with no quests, no obvious objective obviously appeals to a lot of players (me included) but could definitely be off putting for others.

Thanks for the kind words! I started with two plots. Originally I placed my first plot way too far out on the river - I probably could have moved it back to the shore a couple of feet at least. I think two plots give you a fair amount of flexibility, especially as you can build up (like I'm doing with my industrial buildings).

We’re having a lot of fun with it too and it’s really easy to sink a bunch of hours into! Do you have any long term goals for the game and what you want to build?
@odgregg4 күн бұрын
@@CasualGamerYT Good question about long term goals. Besides maxing out the crafting (that will take ages), it's probably about exploring the dungeons and caves. I'm at the level that I can take out some of the towers solo so have also crafted a couple of magic items with spells which has helped greatly. Once my friend returns we should be able to venture into the caves and dungeons to explore and tread very carefully. I've just been doing a lot of re-organisation of our crafting areas, actually setting them up properly with organised storage especially post patch since all the decorated chests need to be re-placed anyway to get the extra 5 slots. In the back of my mind is that it's all temporary as there will be a server wipe at some point (if not more than one). We should probably decide where we'd setup next time after a wipe so that we can claim plots appropriately.
@CasualGamerYT4 күн бұрын
Actually yeah potential wipes are something I need to keep in the back of my mind. In terms of storage, I've been alternating between having one big storage area, or placing chests in relevant areas like for blacksmithing, alchemy etc. Still haven't worked out which method I prefer.
@odgregg4 күн бұрын
@@CasualGamerYT Yeah, we had one big storage area but had chests either side of most crafting benches for inputs and outputs. Now in the new crafting buildings I've built the last couple of days we have rows of 4 chests, then a small floor a bit above that then 4 more chests... and then 8 more chests on the reverse side of that. Seems to be working well with the crafting benches either side of that. Space for 64 chests like that in the two crafting buildings so far. Then carpentry and blacksmithing will be outside in their own crafting areas.
