@Ostaff said in Pod Cast ? Do you listen to them? What if Prometheus was in it ?: Who's Prometheus ? Never heard of him

So since we are calling this phase is Fall Alpha. Will be get a new sections for the next step ?

Bards are so under rated. I thought I was the only person that gets on games and be like, "Wtf no bard spec!?". Bards are just fun!

@Zadske There was also toxic chat over recruitment spam. In fact someone made a thread about that in the first days of testing.

@Oxfurd My ex and I are both gamers -- I was a gamer grrl back in the 1970s, when women were considered freaks of nature if they were interested in "wargames." So when we had a kid, he was doomed, right? My son was beating Civ on the MacPlus before he could read the text. My friends wanted to nickname him "Ender" but I told them they had to wait until he was old enough to read the book and decide if he liked the handle. I have always played with him, and tolerated thousands of hours of theory crafting for games I never cared about, to the point where we called his enless prattle on car trips "listening to the Tyranids." When my kid was in college back some years ago when LOL was on the rise and e-sports was very new (particularly in the US), he came to me to ask if he should stop out from school and try out for an e-sports team in CA. I thought about how I'd feel in his position. My own "twitch" is long gone, lol, and you're only young once. Should he take the path more travelled or take a risk on a dream? He'd been making small change coaching people in LOL -- he was well ranked. I took a deep breath and told him to go for it with my blessing. My friends thought I was NUTS, but I told them that e-sports was going to be bigger than American football and maybe not so big as Association Football in just a few years -- and I was right. My kid didn't make the team -- but he came back to his "real life" with a confidence of having pursued and dream and resolved it. A few years later, I became fully disabled -- he's about 30 now -- and he is taking care of me. I have told people if you told me when I was working I could game and blog all day, I'd say OH YEAH! But I didn't think the devil's bargain would come with a walker and many days confined to bed playing on my phone. But my kid and I are tight, and a lot of it is due to gaming together for a quarter century. Not many kids would take their mom in at his age and get along, but we do better than most housemates. And I still smile and nod when he goes off on his "Tyranid" rants on his latest game -- because I don't "twitch" anymore, I can't really game with him in his best genres. But we share our metagames, and that's enough.

@GamerSeuss said in What is your biggest want in this game?: @Razvan it's pretty much up to the player base how big the alliances get. Even if the Devs put a limit on things like Clan/Guild sizes, that doesn't stop players from forming coalitions outside of the game of multiple Clans/Guilds to still build what they want, so this is a hard, if not impossible ask. This is why there needs to be some form of friendly fire, even within alliances. Yeah, you can do it, but you'll have to think about it and manage it.

@Nag said Same, more CoE people the better i agree... and so far the support on that from @Prometheus is awesome. ! I can hate on games all i like after the fact, for now i'm here to enjoy the progression. well said. Especially the fact that there IS progression

@Xzait Bows get the added ability to poison at range. they might get more stuff in the future to make them feel more like a ranger (I remember seeing something about that)

Really helpful short primer/how-to on the knowledge system. The tutorials in-game don't actually spell anything out, so giving new players a way to eliminate the trial&error part is truly kind. Thanks @Oxfurd!

@Oxfurd that's because people like you are in this community. I want to say thank you too, to you and all the other nice people we have here. I am really hoping for a cool gameplay together, no matter if we work together or compete with each other.

No worries dude take your time.

How stable is the company financially? (Do they have enough to finish without having to raise more cash?) ETA on some of the promised features in packages? (Forum badges and titles, Monthly developer Q&A, etc) Release date still on track for 2021 with fully developed game? (3 worlds, all features) Any one of those three if possible. Good luck, and I'll see everyone on the stream.

thats the problem that emerged from early access and paid alpha. the time when this wiki article was valid , wa back when we got free demos and companies employed playtesters. now we pay to playtest and companies are encourage to drain our wallets ... by our behaviour ( me included of course ) Totally agree that we need this trust to be a two way street.

Sorry I missed it!

Done and Done ! @Kralith

@Gothix My bet is we will have gathering skill trees as well: first screenshot here shows farming; then we already have mining, cutting trees, gathering plants. Hunting seems appropriate for a gathering skill tree related to fighting wild animals and the amount/quality of resources gained from them. Besides, marksmanship is only related to ranged weapons. On the other hand, as you said, hunting also includes some melee weapons and traps. It makes little sense to have a skill tree which gives bonuses to bows and spears. I'd say OP is right that the name change is a bit weird.

I would be but alas time zone difference means another 24 hrs before I can play. Sigh. Work sucks.

Let us get some more people in the guild!

Hey and welcome
