the clothing looks wild

looks like defiance from back in the day

The demo definitely was rough. But the closed betas were more stable and less buggy. Not sure what happened. The crossbow is indeed that strong. No buffs from being in a hive or warband because I was playing solo.

So i didnt have any performance issues on my laptop. one thing that i did learn, that was strange, was the OPEN beta was on a version older than the CLOSED beta... for some reason

I was kinda excited until I learned it's a season game. Stopped caring about it right after that lol

I played it. Idk...I think I had about 2 or 3 hours in. Overall, I like the concept. It has clearly borrowed heavily from some other titles from a gameplay and style perspective - which isn't a bad thing necessarily. But it also has enough of it's own ideas to be unique. Overall, I liked what it had to offer and it definitely has potential. I didn't notice the lag that was mentioned in the video - I had pretty solid performance during my entire playthrough. However....and this is a big one, it is going to be a free to play title with heavy microtransactions and one that is also going to be released on mobile. Consider that information however you may. I only have a few beefs with the game - they clearly need to address the "build anywhere" mechanics. As the video mentioned, the entire starting area is completely polluted with player structures pretty much stacked on top of one another. Not only does it become a problem from a gameplay perspective, it also severely breaks immersion. Not sure how they'll address this; maybe player structures should be automatically removed after a certain period of inactivity, I don't know. But it was immediately off putting. Im assuming a lot of the mechanics were condensed and compressed for the sake of the demo. But, I felt like after 3 hours...I had already experienced the entire gameplay loop. Shoot badguys, loot loot loot, craft craft craft, unlock new areas, build a base somewhere in there, rinse and repeat.

The lag could have just been a hardware issue on my end, idk. I also didn't know they were releasing it on mobile and that's just going to make it a complete shit show. Thinking about it more, I think if they did a system like Fallout 76 where you log out and your stuff goes away could help it, maybe. But that would take a lot more programming for them to try and figure out a system for that so stuff didn't fully break when you do that. which may not even work with how they want to do PvP servers and things.

@TheTrueSandmanKing Honestly, something as simple as having "no build" zones within certain area's of the map could do it.

I didn’t mind that the majority of the player base were clumped together near the spawn point as it gives you an advantage 😅

The Shorts on the Avatar look weird. The monsters and stuff look really cool, but polished and finished by July 9th? Feels/Sounds like an Anthem issue. Lotta hype, lotta issues, results in a bad Game. I wouldn't mind seeing you play it just to compare release vs. beta experience.

For someone has played both cbt2 and 3 and demo. Hive is like mini clan(8 people) but main "clan" is warband. I did not really have any buggs at all this demo. Also windows updates makes game buggs out a lot. heard some people had buggs when runing windows 11. When you talk about servers, they said per server gona be 4000 player max. Also it depends when you played the demo. Many players stop after few days so it was less and less as time went on. I saw a lot of people in cbt 3. Warband should have 80 players. the silos are 4 man dung and i think the raid is 8 man but you can also solo much of the stuff. I can agree with you the early zones Tier 1 - 3 is really easy but that you can thanks the whiners for. They nerfed them even early bosses got nerfed and became really easy, but people whine said they where to hard -.- I can say i really liked the story line of the game. I have played a loot of other loot and shooters, and most of them kill stuff with 1 shoot enemeys easy(like DIV2 and others) but elits and bosses take a bit more. But the reason some wep are strong(crossbow) is single ammo wep and have a slow reload. When getting in to higher zones(tiers) there is gona be a lot more adds and they can become too many then it does not really matter how strong wep you have if they all rush you at the same time. Give it a good try. i really like how they made it, is one of is kind what i think but hey thats just me :P

I think we played the demo on like the last day of it so that's why we probably only saw like 3 other players. The main thing for me is I think the Hive system doesn't need to be there and they could just fold it into the Team or Warband system. I heard a little bit about them maybe getting rid of the Hive system but I'm not sure what they're going to do. I agree with the story stuff, I thought it was interesting with the eldritch monsters and conspiracy stuff. With the weapons it's mostly because I'm used to starting off with the weak weapons that you want to get rid of right away but I feel like the first crossbow you make could carry you through for a good 10 levels. Especially if you play smart. I might be wrong because of the short amount of play time though, it's just how I felt about it.

@@TheTrueSandmanKing If you played last day then is 100% you saw so few people xD Tbh i like the hive system, you can build your base close to your hiv mates to build a mega base. It becomes a problem if you do it with warband. I havent heard anything about them remove it and i check their discord almost every day, tho there has been people make a vote for it but was voted down(i think it was not sure). The story monsters are based on Chutulu occult by H. P. Lovecraft i think. Stil the crossbow is a strong early was weaker but again the whiners won -.- weak point dmg is really strong even stronger with mods. But not all adds have weak points so some take time to kill. People whine it was to hard so they nerfed a lot off stuff thanks to whiners.

With the hive thing I think it was while I was playing I thought I saw something about making a hive base, not knowing it was just by putting bases together, and was looking online for how to do it. I think it was in a forum post or something that somebody said they were thinking about removing it but idk. I didn't really pay much mind to it I just remember seeing it briefly. Yeah, when they listen to the people that whine about a games difficulty and then cave it fucking sucks.

It felt like it was trying to wear too many hats and trend chasing when I played it. The basic gameplay loop of going out to scavenge materials and fight eldritch monsters was cool, but then they added in capturing monsters like palworld (their words), and some half-baked survival mechanics that dragged down the game for me.

I am convinced a lot of these Chinese games don't actually have EU/NA servers and fake it all.

At least play before making such accusations. I'm in CA and played one closed beta and the demo. It's real. You're talking out of your rear.

The tutorial is very generic and boring. But the game after that is pretty fun. Not perfect but still fun. Especially the base building.
