When they stuck to their original plan of 6 weeks per season I thought the devs must had a well thought plan to be that confident to push new contents every 6-7 weeks. That’s extremely fast for game development. Sadly it’s just another management failure in game development. They have to come up with a better and sustainable timeframe for their PvE seasons. And tbh, sadly I don’t think I will stick to this game long enough to see them fix it.
A key point in game marketing people don't like to realize. There are plenty of games to play, and if you give people a reason to NOT play yours, they won't. I understand completely. I felt from a marketing point, they'd have banger second scenario if it was a new map, or at least a very altered version of the first map, so I am hoping they do the second, if they don't, that was just bad management plain out. While it is extremely fast, it's also extremely unlikely. If season come out on average every 3 months, and 6 weeks per scenario, we have to backtrack every other time we finish a scenario, so they really have to make the incentives good for the players for them to replay content, especially if they are completionists. Also, most of their game, even in PvP scenarios, are centered around PvE, so I wish they marketed the scenarios slightly differently. Yes it has PvP elements, it definitely doesn't feel like a PvP server in any right.
Good man, this was most likely the easiest way once could have explained about the scenarios and the content we are about to get soon. Considering people cant read or are lazy to read it out and end up getting panicked about losing the items and progress, you managed to explain this with simpler words, and hoping for people to check out you video and get their doubts cleared.
I try. I find a lot of people misread the first time around. I know I did, I had to do a couple takes because my brain just inserted stuff trying to read through it fast, because IT WAS a lot of info. It's a big post for discord. Glad you enjoyed the format man!
PvP will inevitably be tied to Starchrom so nope. Unless I can complete a season without pvp, I am not really interested. Especially with how unbalanced it is. You can just pop a deviant and cover doesn't matter. I just want to build, acquire new equipment and furniture blueprints, and beat some bosses/strongholds/dungeons.
There should be some season goals, and need to participate in PvP to get some Starchrom, Yet most starchrom will be gotten from PvE stuff. I'd assume you'd net around 75-80% of starchrom with minimum PvP participation. Yet that other 25% potential if you aren't doing the events may end up driving a lot of people away. It's not like we have to PvP 24/7 either. Weekly events and the like is all we got to bother ourselves with. I'm PvE centric, yet I don't mind to dabble in PvP as long as it's not the only thing to do, otherwise, it's just too much and not fun.
2 things that weren't addressed: 1. Moving character to another server (in case you don't like the community on yours or in case friends play elsewhere) 2. Clearing up accounts. Many ppl made account, but never played much, or moved to another server. The server locks up registrations and we're stuck with ghost accounts. An example, I never played beta and didn't know I would need an alt for production purposes. I can't make alt on my server (016) from day 2. If that's not gonna change I need to move to a server that I can. And then comes the question of progress lost. I have no idea if they reply to you creators, but if you can get an answer, I follow anyway and I'll see it Great video as always
They are addressing the first issue, with a sort of abort button. It wasn't addressed in this post though. Essentially, you can abort the scenario, which wipes your progress of the current scenario, not your past scenarios(So really this is only good for the first day or two IMO) and join a different server. Say if it fills up too fast and your friend doesn't get on. Allowing a sort of mass move if everyone is coordinated. Also, we will be getting invite codes to try to bring people into our server, yet they said that if a server is full, it won't be effective, so I'm unsure why it exists currently. Secondly, We will not be playing on the same server as we are now. Our server, whatever it may be, will be essentially killed off, and we will have to jump on a brand new server(for a repeat manibus/Evolution's Call scenario, or the new prismverse), if an account this scenario were to never play again, they aren't taking up any more space than their Eternaland needs. This was told to us near the start of Launch, and before that even during the general premise of scenarios and shifting in-between them. I haven't felt the need for an alt, yet we divide tasks between our hive/warband, so that may be the difference in alt needs. They do talk to creators slightly. I did get word that one of the community managers will be talking with some of us, or maybe just pinging the creator server as a whole, that is to be found out when that happens though. Creators don't get a ton of headsup on things currently, and we are really hoping that does change in the future.
@@ThermicWolf2000 Not everyone is a socially adept person and I know I am difficult. Playing in a hive and having to build my base outside Blackfell (for example) is something I'm not willing to do. I prefer areas I like the landscape. Also, I have serious lag issues so I dont even do bosses with other ppl. You have no idea how much this costs me, but I can't drag a whole team down in good conscience. I am lvl50 and I cant do a Hard mode coz I'm under-equipped 😔 I play as I can
@@gavarron-gaming I don’t think you have to be an amazing conversationalist to simply put “what to buy ___ or Trade for ___”. Using alt accounts is cheating IMO in a MMO. I get not having time or not being as well built as some other players but that just comes with the territory of it being an MMO rather than a single player game. We are to rely on each other as a community
@@ThermicWolf2000 You'd be surprised how many people have rolled alts. I am one of the few that haven't. I could play on Steam, Loading Bay, and Epic, and have three characters on one server. Yet this has heavily been mitigated by making people able to purchase weapons with starchrom outright. I bet many content creators doing builds have more than one character/account so they can get as many builds out as possible.
The only thing I'm curious about is multiple characters. I know they said that shop items like the battlepass stuff are meant to be shared between all characters on your account. And that should be fixed on the 15th of August. But how about things like furniture blueprints across 2 characters? Like the ones that cost starchrom in the phase 1 season shop? What about furniture purchased with cosmetic tokens? How do weapon blueprints work across multiple characters? My friend jumped servers on me and I really don't want to keep hamstringing my progress by jumping across server trying to play with them.
Crystgin purchases are shared per account, Starchrom purchases are character bound. I'm not sure how cosmetic tokens transfer over. I won't be playing on alts myself. I just like my one character and building him up. Less confusion and dailies. I'd rather just work on a second game in my backlog or something. Weapon blueprints, being starchrom, will absolutely not transfer between characters though. I'd definitely focus on one main character, then work on others after your main is where you want it.
So I'm glad that they are putting in more content but if I'm being perfectly honest with myself it feels like they ran out of content and decided that their player base was getting tired of having nothing to do so they just threw together a bunch of different ideas that weren't going to make it into the game and are now calling in a new scenario
It does seem this may be a stopgap. We get a whole new map the season after this upcoming one, which I was really hoping would be the next scenario. Yet, maybe they ran into some issues with it. I'm not sure. It seems they are following the idea of Path of Exile, so a bad scenario isn't the end of the world, yet a potentially bad scenario early on might have bigger chain effects compared to something absolutely solid.
I think the idea is to have a way of giving new content without making it more and more intimidating new players from joining. What happens in these Survival MMOs is that people get so far ahead that new people don’t want to join and that kills the game. Having everyone more or less start on even footing with maybe a bit of an advantage from playing before keeps things fresh in a way
@@ThermicWolf2000 I don't particularly agree with you on this, specifically because number 1 the majority of the content happened within the first two to three zones that were unlocked which was week 2 I believe. And secondly, nobody is getting left behind because nobody new is able to join older servers as they are mostly full already.
@@skitch8616 nobody is left behind because it’s locked after a certain time and at a certain cap. But as they stated different scenarios will have different caps and durations. Think of it like any other survival MMO and you can see how they are trying to mitigate that. They want to have a healthy stream of new users as well as returning players with the scenario structure. It’s not that they ran out of content, it’s more about not all of the content being in ONE server and you will have to explore new scenarios to get it all
@@ThermicWolf2000 you do realize that they are capping player levels and items able to be used for these new scenarios right it's not like they're just going to get some Beast of a player in there that's completely top tiered out let's just going to ravage through the scenarios
This is an overview of the new information we have available about how scenarios will play out in the future. Quite a few people enjoyed the audioblog format for new information coming out instead of reading through things themselves, so this is continuing along that trend. Let me know if you think I should change it up at all. Open to opinions. We have 3-4 weeks to the new scenario drops it seems, who is excited to see the new content? I know some are worried about the new PvP season upcoming because they are strictly PvE players, are you one?
That's fair. I'd still encourage players to join, to get weekly starchrom from the resonator and not miss out on potential starchrom banners plus whatever potential story we may get if that interests you. Even if you aren't on every day, once a week to reap the rewards is a great way to keep your character healthy for the next season!
@@Xelray After looking into the current pvp scenario more I may actually give it a try as it's not all time pvp it's a toggle like New World and you can't be raided unless you purify chaos stones which was mainly putting me off as I didn't wanna deal with player raids as if I wanted that I'd just go play Rust lol so yh may actually join and see whatever story there is and farm up some more Starchrom.
Do you know if the conversion is automatic or we need to worry about moving our progress-materials around/out of chests/a certain way/ when current scenario ends/a new begins?
When we start the new scenario, if we want anything outside of blueprints/mods/currencies, we have to buy them out from our Eternaland which is a sort of locker room you can say. No one is sure of the conversions for items, yet that will include all our deviations, weapons, armor(Not blueprints, just what we have made), probably creatures we tamed too.
I’m still a little confused about how we move items to Eternaland from the current season. Is there a cost associated with moving items from a scenario to Eternaland as well?
Not at all, it just goes to Eternaland, That's what the settlement phase is for. Yet bringing it out to give you an advantage, it will cost you. We used to transfer items over while still playing in the scenario, now, at some point we'll leave and everything will transfer over to Eternaland.
The reddit babies need to quit whining. Every time developers listen to them, games get more casualized, until they die. (Tera, Wakfu, Dofus, New World, Wildstar, Firefall, Tree of Savior, etc)
I did a lot of Tree of Savior, sad to admit, and New World. I don't see how New World could of gotten worse from where I left. I really like having casualization not within standard content, but with side content. The rare types of deviants, fish, and soon to be bred animals are great examples. Making the content bland and boring on the other hand, not so much. What are you specifically worried with in Once Human?
You were quick on the really, yet with no info, I don't know what you are getting at. Most information updates I do in Audioblog format, people prefer listening along instead of reading.
There have been negative comments like this one, on every video about this game I have watched, they never answer and seem to only serve as negative baiting.
@@vanquest5341 Speaking as someone who has come in and out of content creation for a while. Negative people exist and love to show up and try to muck up things.
