For the love of all that's holy, I'm so glad we are back from Glyph! That is all. Have a nice day.

And THAT's why it's alpha!

@Deftly I agree, it would be nice when you pull up your character you could hover over the stat and it gives a brief description.

That is all.

So, I got the immortal package. I liked the perks it has to offer such as: VIP for life, house, carpenter contract, etc. Now, I don't know what that means per se, but it sounds like something I'd kick my own ass for not having when the game is released. I don't know what the size or look of that house or whatever is either, but I'm guessing that to NOT have it would be a very daunting task once release happens.

As far as game play, I like testing things and giving my two cents. Truth be told, apart from my own observations, I want to be "in the know" by the time the game releases so there isn't such a curve at first. Alpha allows you the advantage to make all the mistakes everyone else will be making when they first start.

I like to help others as well, so knowing a bit about the game prior to launch is a good way to make friends or be helpful to new people when they start. I've tested other alphas and played days on end before figuring out something that would have saved me hours/days of time. If I can help someone do that, it feels good.

Finally, even though there is limited information and the updates aren't back to back, it tells me that they aren't willing to just put out a bunch of hype just to get the numbers. I like the air of mystery. I've enjoyed most every video they have and the entire idea around the three worlds is really cool. Anyway, I've rambled too much.

What's your story?

Won't hold my hand? What kind of game is this?! We all need to have our hands held at some point. A quick hug wouldn't hurt either. Being in mom's basement, I don't get the loving affection I deserve.

What I honestly see happening, regardless of this system, is that "evil" people will start on the demon planet, gain all the KP they can there, then head to the human planet, gain all of the KP there and start to really become toxic after that point. Sure, they will get a slap on the wrists but then what? They will befriend others of like mind and terrorize the planet. That will end up forcing everyone that thinks the balance sucks to move to Arboreus. This alone already has me thinking of trying to get all the KP I can on Syndesia, then moving to Arboreus and never looking back. Is that what the devs want? Who knows.

I've watched the global chat. I don't want anything to do with some of those toxic people at all. I actually saw someone in global say "I will go to your house and kill you over and over". That statement immediately soured my taste for this game, and I've been here years. I'm just saying this is only my opinion, but there are many silent people out there that think the same way.

I've been following a while now and I understand nothing is ready, polished, etc. but it seems like it's really a long time between any updates. It would be nice to have a monthly "anything" even if it is to say they are just working on this or that, etc. I know quite a few think like this as well and we aren't even stating that we need to hear any progress or anything, but even just an outreach to the community with a few lines would be nice. Anyway, just my two cents.

Finally.

I have a few points I'd like to make.

1. There are some people in this thread that need to pick a decaffeinated version of their coffee.
2. I agree with cash shops for cosmetics or convenience. If you can get someone to pay in lieu of what they may consider a waste of time, it doesn't hurt anyone and people can choose to do it however they wish. IE, house plans, faster travel, cosmetics, etc. None of this would affect the rate of how fast you can kill someone or clear monsters, dungeons, etc.
3. @Prometheus I think you all are doing an amazing job and my hope is that this game really takes off for everyone. Having PvP, PvE, PvX as a viable option for all people in the game is outstanding. I also think that you all could do as some others suggest with cash shop types of things. A way for the community to help support this game post launch is amazing.
4. Arguing on the internet...no one wins. Discussions and debates...get creative ideas across lines.

Ah, ok...I thought that the spell was rng for damage.

Is there a place that shows what each rank gives for specific schools? I'm using Pyromancy but have no clue if I finally get an orb what it will go to if I level that. I couldn't find anything in the wiki or perhaps I was looking in the wrong place. Anyone know?

And "Palace" - ALL!

You are absolutely correct, forgot about that. So, then that leaves me to wonder what they will turn a lifetime carpenter contract into.

So I asked on the Discord channel about these things to which I did get an answer that they were still talking aspects behind the scenes but I'm curious to know a few things and hoping to get some sort of answer here.

Founder Palace - Is there any information that can be provided about this at all? For example: How would anyone squeeze a "palace" into a 4x4 spot if you choose to place it outside of town? I'm assuming the 4x4 is still the largest outside? Or even if it's 5x5, how do you fit one there?

Lifetime Carpenter - This was originally for upkeep on homes when that was a thing, I know it's a big reason that many people bought the upgraded packages at first. Will that possibly be turned into "Lifetime VIP" or something if that comes out?

Thanks!

@Prometheus said in Roadmap To Early Access:

we'll soon be back on Steam Early Access

"Soon" is such a relative term. Understandable exact dates can lead to a lot of upset people, but do we have any kind of estimation such as last quarter of the year? Beginning of next year? Anything?

Just another day huh?

Just checking in.

Just running around here.

This still a thing?
