Yeah I participated the "Wilderness alpha". It was so short, that no one had time to get gear to actually combat in the wilderness, so it was a very useless alpha for that. But I guess they got to debug some networking systems because the servers were down half of the alpha. It's a pretty game and an interesting concept, but they definitely went into early access very early in development, seeing as the combat system is something a talented 14-year old with some Unreal engine skills can build by himself. If the game is ever ready I'll take a look but definitely lost interest after the "wilderness" alpha.
Yep, they have ideas, but from the outside it seems like they have some very odd priorities in terms of what to work on. But for sure, they launch EA a few years early. I honestly thought they would hammer out big content patches fast during EA, that would have been the way to keep the hype going. But now, it seems like a dead fish.
No offense but it seems like you didn't really understand what you were getting yourself into with buying into a developmental early access. You're concerns are valid though. Give it time, if you really like the game or the promise of what it could be, don't give up on it. Push your video into the dev's faces or get conversations going in the community surrounding the game's development. WIth developmental early access the devs usually have a good hand on the community pulse and would welcome this kind of feed back.
None taken and truth be told, I thought EA meant a game close to release. This game is sadly not at all, but I have enjoyed it. Mostly because of the people :) I do very much hope they succeed, so we can spend many hours in it. But I fear it will not. The numbers seem to agree with me.
@@BrotherHelmer When you say it like that, it strikes me that there really isn't a concrete definition for EA. Sometimes, it means getting access to a game just a few days ahead of a launch, and other times, it means a game is still deep in development. It would be nice for us consumers if it wasn't so vague. At any rate, it seems like Pax Dei could be a great game if they can get past the development hurdles. Keep up the good work dude!
@@Grixx777 Thanks man and you’re absolutely right. The whole Early Access thing is definitely a mixed bag when it comes to what to expect, and that vagueness can be frustrating. I do hope Pax Dei makes it through all the hurdles, because it has a ton of potential, and the community is already awesome - however I fear that they won't stick around unless development is ramped up. Having said that, I am still excited to see the new patch :D That said, I also play Arena Breakout Infinite, which is also an Early Access game, but it feels much closer to being fully release-ready, and it's free-to-play. The contrast between the two shows just how different Early Access can be depending on the game. And thanks for the kind words! Really appreciate it :)
