Interesting Plot Wipe Rules + New Resources? - Pax FriDEI Review EP.64

[@Shy-kthxbai]

Most builders have an activity requirement where if you don't login for x weeks your base can be demolished. Kinda suprised they put the game out without any kind of decay feature because it was really obvious what would happen without one.

[@soliitudegaming7275]

They need to be WAY more brutal than 2 hours playtime. It needs to be based on recent activity. At least monthly login requirement. There is SO much empty or abandoned plots its insane. I walk past like 200 houses and im lucky if i find one or two of them that has active players.

[@ItsDilli]

The thing is that's its hard to do during EA where it's supposed to be a one-time purchase for the entire duration, and this is the time to figure it out before the launch model comes out.

[@eclipsion_haze]

i'm rdy for a wipe tbh my friends are all off playing other games and i'm stuck all alone in a spot i didn't even want in the first place. i just want to re start rly in a whole new spot/area

[@ameliehansson7457]

I hope they will implement dying. Like boiling fabrics with different berries, bark or plants. That would be cool :)

[@MavenMune]

We need to look at how Dolavon has significant studder and lag. It appears it may be connected with the individual building pieces being used in high amounts for the populated cities. Are you all experiencing similar? Any plans for the devs to help with that?

[@youfor7820]

I think the mounts should be the first to add. Seriously.

[@dismaspickman773]

Great video. Personally, I say full wipe... fair for everyone... but, that is just my opinion.

[@woundedsqrl]

Im not sure why they didnt add housing decay right at the start, bogglrs my mind unless its just a cash grab. House decay was my primary concern when I first started playing. The solo man castles and forts are absolutely rediculous, totally destroying the whole feel and vibe of the game.

[@wolferine6021]

they should do like once human, if you dont play for a few weeks your plots and items go into holding, when you finnally log in you can replace if soemthing is available, also could add instances, which would allow players to build in the same zones, but different layer.

[@vividok2240]

If devs reading comments - drop the craft on this stage of development, pls do something with combat ( animation , SOUNDS , impact) ...as for me - I don't want to craft something if I don't like just combat etc. , more different mobs , and THEN players will be motivated to craft , guys come one.

[@jeremylovelady9824]

Sword > spear tips> Arrow heads

[@Spezies]

Some people of my clan are not sure if they will loose there own plots. These guys can not login because the game crashes or jump to character menu every time they try to login.

[@morningdarkne55]

I mean, the knives are already in the game. They are used to make crafting benches or other tools

[@beartrap9367]

You’re my favorite pax dei cc 😁

[@PeggyMarchese-sz1uk]

very informative

[@Zaharra-]

Plot wipes: don’t care as long as I know what wipes are based on. By acct if inactive? By toon,if inactive. What is active vs inactive.

[@aaronmpeters26]

anyone who paid for this game and cant place a plot has a legal case against this developer

[@DapperHamster]

I think its fine that Mainframe isn't catering to folks who bought extra accounts, no need to change anything just for those folks. One person taking up a bunch of server space goes against the community and social aspect of the game, and while Mainframe can't stop it I don't see any reason to support it. Let those folks' plots get wiped! I'd take more neighbors over one whales solo mansion every time. This very much feels like a bandaid though, not sure how much space will be freed up by folks who only played for 2 hrs - worried we'll be right back at lots of locked servers soon.

[@adtrlthegamer7449]

I wonder if having a system in place where if people aren't online for a set time, or just going offline, removes their home from the world. Once they come back online, they need to find a new location to replace their home.

[@DapperHamster]

@@adtrlthegamer7449 Definitely not for just going offline - being able to visit other players builds and have a persistent world is a huge part of the game. Something to allow inactive plots to be folded up and stored and redeployed when players return would be the golden fix, but with the structural integrity system and varied terrain and building sizes etc that solution might be far too complex/costly to implement

[@wizzardua]

I think it would be fine if your saves for a game purchased on Steam were deleted if you don't play for more than a month, as they just take up space.

[@fredrikjohansson7854]

Pax dei the only game that think removing content is progress, i had hoped that they would bring "back" teleport, its absolutely needed, so much content that will take hours reach by traveling on foot. Notice how many times he eludes to think that DID exist in game and has been removed. Dont get me wrong i love the game but CORE features like teleport and server stabilty should have been TOP priority, rather than COOL assets. They need to implement a upkeep cost similiar to medieval engineer, if you dont play you shouldnt be able to claim plotland indefinetly. The price you payed is for access to PLAY the game, access to PLACE a number of plots, nowhere does it says those plots cant be remved if you dont play, but there needs to be a mechanism in place for this, hence upkeep/degrading.

[@Darktician]

I think there's going to be like an in-game "land tax" once they introduce coinage (currency) that comes from the heartlands and activities related to producing goods. I initially assumed you'd pay that up to a clan that holds the majority of plots in your heartland, or maybe just to your own clan to keep your plots active. But for people without any clan I don't know how this would even work. Maybe it won't be paid with in-game currency at all and we're going to all end up subbing to this game. I think the devs mentioned that a subscription model was likely a while ago.

[@Grumpskin]

wait so i have 2 plots per character??? i didnt know that !!!!!

[@eltarii]

@@Grumpskin if i said that I misspoke! Plots are account based so only if you have characters on different ACCOUNTS hahahah 😂

[@shivo4328]

Well if they not fix crafting, game will die even not start at alpha.

[@xanthusnoir]

2 hours? I smell Steam involvement.

[@joelbaker9366]

Since the game is sold through Steam as well, it might be a compromise for those players, parallel to the refund policy. If it wasn't, it might be only an hour or less.

[@larkendelvie]

Sorry -- but there was no requirement listed for logging in on a consistent basis -- wipes were mentioned -- personally I think they should just do a wipe. They gave the impression that the EA fee was like a subscription that you were just paying in advance. For folks who don't grasp what happened for a lot of these plots -- this is a form of PVP where folks used an alt to place a plot somewhere and just left it there to either spoil someone's build plans or to reserve a spot in case they wanted to come over and play in that area --- neither were against the rules. I know for the big clans this is a pain but they need to figure out how to manage this for themselves because it will happen over and over. Welcome to a land grab game that has no time sink beyond making a hammer for grabbing land.

[@bingo1045]

If a player isn't going to play but 10 mins a month, why should they be able to sit on prime real estate?

[@shivo4328]

What?

[@jadenedaj]

@@bingo1045 Because they paid for it???????????

[@wizzardua]

@@bingo1045 If the owner of a house hasn't been in it for even 10 minutes in a month, should it be taken away as well?

[@redbarchetta8782]

Like the game but it's a mistake making it just group only. Solo is nothing in this game.

[@xanthusnoir]

No kidding?😂

[@joelbaker9366]

Find a clan that lets you be mostly autonomous, and only demand your time for specific projects. The support of a clan is nice when you can't "do everything", but still want to do as much as you can, with others filling in gaps.

[@woundedsqrl]

You can solo anything in game, takes patience and practice....get some.

[@offset5549]

Game is in early access and it's dying...

[@domedsky]

Did you say you need a subscription to get more plots? Yea fuck this "game".
