Developer Update: The Grapple and Travel Update Plus What We’re Working on Next

[@inkblotblues8748]

Love how communicative Inflexion has been with the community. Thank you for all of your hard work and I'm very excited for the update!

[@Samuitsuki]

I've followed other games through betas and early access before, but I've never experienced the same amount of communication and visibility that Inflexion Games has done.

[@Orsted77]

Any community from devs is always better than ark. They just don't fucking care

[@wyvernkraehe6879]

These updates look fantastic! Particularly the Zephyr points! It will make it easier to invite others to estates. Especially if the estate is a long distance away from where the spawn in points are. You all work so hard. Thank you and hope you all are doing well! Take care and don't over work yourselves.

[@wyvernkraehe6879]

YAY on being able to craft starter cloths!!! Also absolutely THRILLED of being able to play an online character in offline mode.

[@PlayNightingale]

Thanks so much

[@Samuitsuki]

I just keep falling more and more in love with the game and Inflexion Games!

[@edsiebert5986]

Thank you for your open communication on your progress. It's a breath of fresh air tbh! Can't wait for more content to enjoy in the wonderful realms of nightingale :)

[@ceritusorbis]

So excited for all the changes! Especially the Zephyr and Pepys - that's gonna make group play sooooo much more fun and accessible. Thank you all for your continued work!

[@Wombats555]

Love the skyhooks, that solves a number of question on Discord where people were having to build stairs or do Soaring/Thinned Veil/Trickster. Reminds players to upgrade their Picks, too, whenever someone complains about grind we ask a few questions and they aren't upgrading as much as they could. Anything that prompts players to upgrade is good.

[@Wildemut]

This is why I love Inflexion. They actually listen to the gamers. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you guys!

[@buckleupbuttercup7442]

I am so happy for the ferryring update I dont know if I was the first to suggest that but I'm shure glad its being implemented.

[@IllutianKade]

Can we all chuckle that the 'crate at feet' bug is featured during the Brawling Charm portion. xD

[@reavingraven6287]

I don't know whether to chuckle or cry They just keep adding completely useless features, community events that end WAY too quickly, etc, rather than actually bring meaningful improvements and changes to a game that desperately needs them..

[@truthtoad]

Awesome work team! you are really taking Nightingale to the next-level of community gaming from the foundation! I'm very optimistic about the future of Nightingale(and other future games from your team)! Thanks!

[@swiza79]

I don't have time to play at the moment, but spend 150h in early access and I really enjoyed, recently jump in to see what's changed and game looks a lot better and lots of things changed, keep up and don't give up game is great ,can't wait to play ,more! Thank You!

[@ShiningEyeBrigade]

This is fantastic, thank you for the communication and thoughtful updates! Excited to log back in and try out the changes!

[@sempraviar9775]

I quit playing the game but your team its the best Dev's team i seeing in years.. I just wish you dont lose this passion and love of making games! A big hug to all the team!

[@LordNovaVA]

I think Inflexion is a light in a dark tunnel recently, they've been so responsive with their community I just hope this game gets more attention as updates arrive in due time.

[@AJR99]

Such an underrated game and a great dev team. Thanks for keeping us informed and can't wait to see where the game goes in the future!

[@jasonhunter3429]

oh those zepher points are a game changer, looking forward to starting a new world soon!

[@CliffBackerTheThird]

Those are some pretty useful features. Especially the Steam Cloud - much appreciated.

[@Mr.Notorious]

Glad to see the game get updates. I truly believe this game has great potential as long as you guys continue to work on it and not give up. This game has significant pvp potential, realm invasions, pvp realms with enhanced gathering rates, bounty quests to hunt down another player ect. I think the game should shy away from full on base raiding but having pvp with high risk high reward systems would be fantastic.

[@Sinted]

I already love this game, but this will make it even more fun to play Only suggestions I have at the moment are legitimizing a pure caster build somehow. Right now the lack of ability to have more than 1-2 spells active really kills the vibe I was going for. Can’t wait for the next update!

[@JimmyReverwood]

Thank you 😊

[@1darkthought]

Upcoming features: Perfect. Feedback on current event: Hope drops were very, very low imho. Unless you cheese it with a sickle and plants in a swamp realm, the gather of the hopeful essence really didn't reward those of us with limited play time. I know I felt left out because I couldn't gather enough hopeful essence to unlock everything.

[@Samuitsuki]

I managed to gather enough for the hunter hat, but I felt it required a bit of grinding to get the items.

Never heard of this game, but the video is enticing. What's the general buzz on the game, worth buying at this point in time, or wait?

[@arthanor9631]

It was a bit rough at launch, but has been improving quite substantially. See if you could find a recent overview, maybe? I'd say it's not for everyone, but those who like it really do. I sank hundreds of hours in at release.

I would say with especially the 0.3 update that people should jump in.

Looking forward to playing again on full release. I played about 30 hours of the initial release and enjoyed what I played, though obviously you are progressing things nicely since then. When roughly do you anticipate full release?

[@PlayNightingale]

No firm date yet! We've got plenty of other things we want to add to Early Access before 1.0.

The only question I got: Is the Pepys box named after Samuel Pepys?

[@Samuitsuki]

Yes, there was also briefly some text at the bottom of the screen suggesting people to Google "samuel pepys buried his parmesan".

[@WitherFang]

@@Samuitsuki And because of that, I really want to know if the cheese was indeed buried, and if so, if there's anything left of it and if so, is it still edible, and if edible, will it taste amazing?!?!

[@PlayNightingale]

It sure was!

[@sebastianio9219]

Not a single word about the most requested feature, the fixing of the decoration and building limit! This issue has been around since the beta phase of the game (6 months). And building is actually a core feature! So there will be more empty buildings in the realms for the next six months! I had so much hope for the game! But thank god there are many other good games in this genre at the moment! So Inflexion Games will have a hard time competing with other games at the moment!

[@Samuitsuki]

They have several times commented on the work involving the increase of the building limit, and why the limit has been so small.

[@PlayNightingale]

Hey there. This is something we're working on as part of the bigger update work being done at the studio. We'll be getting it out to players as soon as we can!

[@sebastianio9219]

@@Samuitsuki Sorry that I'm just more critical and ask questions when I'm not satisfied with the answer. Since it's a core functionality of the game and should have worked for EA too! and we've had the problem on our radar since the beta phase! But in the beta phase people still thought, ok, it's just a limitation for this phase, but the fact that it was also like this in EA surprised many people.

[@Thaneye1]

How many Zephyr points will we be able to place simultaniously? Is it like Valheim where there is no limit to how many teleportals you can have, as long as you have them paired?

[@roshi5778]

First of all, who the hell built that structure in the sky I can barely make a rooftop lol. Anyway, the game has a lot of potential. For me only two things have to change, 1 - I don't like the augmentation system where you have to link your craft augments to the building stations, it does not work many schematics don't appear on my inventory even thou I have all of them nearby. The second one is the variety of things to do on the world maps, there is not enough variety.

[@rafaxd3172]

[@gregrout8626]

One of the foundations of a great game is having the perfect "carrot on a stick" that will motivate gamers to grind away at collecting resources, etc. I have a new PC, 4070ti, 64GB Ram, SSD and the coat I made looked like an untextured yellow raincoat. The whole "now I'm a banana" thing slowly wore away at my motivation to play the game. Do I want to spend my precious free time to farm resources to make other raincoat textured gear? Hell no. When, if, they fix this I might reinstall the game and give it another shot.

Hey there. We appreciate the feedback! We have plans to add further clothing customization options in the future, including dyes.

[@GScully42]

The wisp event was kinda lame, to much grinding for little reward

[@tommarsh5302]

Whether something is a grind is down to your perception. I got everything you can get with the event essence and didn't grind at all. I just played the game and grabbed the wisps when I came across them. If it was a grind for you, next time try just playing the game and don't grind. It's a lot more fun.

[@PlayNightingale]

We definitely took some notes from community feedback and work on future events being more immersive and fulfilling for all players.

[@Wombats555]

The wisps themselves sucked but I liked the 3 new quest NPCs and Hope vendor.

[@reavingraven6287]

Was ANYONE able to farm ANYTHING from the Spark of Hope event?? I spent multiple play sessions trying to farm this new essence, and never made enough to even purchase ONE item. This game is still in early access, super half-baked, and they're already doing events that come and go so quickly you'll never be able to acquire everything they offer, before moving on to the next thing. Ridiculous. Trying to support this game is like having an abusive partner. Well, it's already helped me weed this game out of titles I want to try and keep up with, since they can't even keep event rewards in the game for more than a month, when it takes hours upon hours upon hours to farm the resource..and battle pass type rewards in early access??? Enjoy alienating your player base more than they already were. They saw the numbers dwindling FAST, and just wanted to boost them, to look good for shareholders since their game was dead on arrival and they spent way too much time on offline mode. What a joke.

[@zonedout3390]

QoL is fine and all, but where is the content? All these updates dont add to the core experience can yall focus on that instead? This stuff should be sprinkled in with actual content like new biomes, new bosses, new quests that continue the story line.

grapple is cool as is the transfer box, make it easier to move realms. what i STILL want is a way to transfer characters, not their stuff just their look. i spend a lot of time in creation and i tend to start multiple games, the creation aspect gets seriously annoying as your base characters are pretty...well not pretty. inbred fugly comes to mind suffering from consumption. additionally with the realm transfer being easier...any thought to realm architects and pocket realms? ability to create and tune a realm sans any resources beyond basic wood/stone. and i do mean tune, all parameters, sky, weather, day/night cycle (if any), terrain, flat, hilly, mountain, mix, etc all at a cost fed into the personal gate to create the realm. basic B realm would just be flat, no weather, no sun or moon, no trees/rocks, just flat and grey. you pay for the extras. add stone to add rocks, add wood to have trees, add essence to have a sky, etc.

[@Samuitsuki]

Being able to transfer looks could be nice. I made an alt, but I had to delete it, as it got stuck on the last tutorial portal to the first abeyance realm, so it could nice if we had like a code of something to quickly redo the look.
