@Jetah I purchased a alpha 1 key buddy so I'm waiting on alpha 1 launch.
And you said “launch” which is another 1-2 years away. Had you mentioned alpha 1 then I wouldn’t have responded.
I can’t read your mind. Can only respond to what I see posted as it’s posted.
Don’t the power of the gods prevent opposite karma races from staying on a planet.
Wouldn’t these be against the current lore?
News will just be regurgitated from forum post, emails and newsletters.
Last KS update was in October. Comments on the KS campaign looks bad.
I’d suggest posting your email and website updates there too!
If one person can’t handle all the work load then get someone who can.
@Aurellas
even when released mmo's still continue to change.
@Roccandil
games usually have siege time windows so that the defense can coop. If it's Eve Online then they don't have that, siege all you want when you want 
I have a few points I'd like to make.
- There are some people in this thread that need to pick a decaffeinated version of their coffee.
- 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.
- @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.
- Arguing on the internet...no one wins. Discussions and debates...get creative ideas across lines.
fast travel would make it easier to kill people, flank advances, flee, etc. i have pay for convenience personally. I see blueprints in the shop and not a convenience item. cosmetics aren't convenience either, unless you mean to pay to skip any real craft time.
i like discussions and debates. it strengths ideas. only problem is when any toxicity comes out.
@Aurellas
houses are physical though. there's a complete stage. digital games don't have that. Even WoW and Eve are still being worked on, improved.
You could consider Earth a foundation and it's still changing.
@Tuoni said in New NPC Faction: Demon Hunters:
Thank you Jetah for that.
just drop some shop items my way!
@Immortal-Great said in State Of The Game #2 – On 2018, Alpha 1 & Unity:
We need an update. I'm growing antsy and have quit playing other games waiting on this one to launch.
You've got until 2020 before it's launched. so at least 8 months but i'd guess closer to 12 months.
@Pluto @Tuoni
being active on the forums, being rewarded for that activity with cosmetics is a good thing to do. Now if they can curb the trolling because of the foundation, IE reward good content with points while removing points with trolling/salt/toxicity then it might work.
Foundation is a great term for what it's designed to do. the greater a Foundation is the better the structure will be on top. One thing about games is the people are always shifting around from game to game, a game company would like a good Foundation of constant revenue and some pillars of users that are helpful.
The Foundation is never complete on a game. Look at WoW 14+ years later. Look at Eve Online and the few other online games being active for 10+ years. I'd imagine if Blizzard made a forum Foundation type system that rewarded positivity and discouraged negativity it would be a much better place.
This community is great and we're being rewarded for participating on the forums. Another EA game I've backed is pretty empty on the forums and the mods haven't logged in on Reddit in over a month some of which are the company employees. The active forums could make other communities, like Reddit, seem empty, however.
@Althalus
they're doing them whenever they want but they should be rolling all the weeks missed in one post.
not sure why the communication has stopped tho. no email, content pill, etc lately.
@Meiki
i dont like the neutral litch and the demons gaining fur. if there's a scale demon then it should be less scales. if it's a furry demon then less fur. but a scaled demon shouldn't gain fur at all.
but then again if you aren't a true demon then you're dead [to me].
@Eurav
it's much easier to level the Foundation because the xp is constant. the lottery is quite 100% random, getting to level 200+ isn't random at all.
they haven't had the Weekly Drawings in a while so it's possible to get 1-3k from that alone. I've won that 8 times which is 8k xp there. I have 1 recruit which don't post or do anything so that's xp i'm missing out on but i didn't need to get to 200+.
i think the levels should stop and let as many get to the max reward as possible. the Foundation rewards are much better than "alpha/beta" icons/badges or whatnot other companies give out for RNG access to said testing times.
oh. just thought that they could be some beast of burden. hooked to wagons, sleds, plows, etc. maybe we'll need animals to grind wheat into flour.
@Esher
it's why i said they could the 'cat' version for demons. even the demons still think they're hideous but humans and beast might like them. until they start gnawing dem bones.
@Gothix said in How I imagine starting on Tartaros would be...:
I don't see why game would integrate discord really.
It's an extra development resources... and you can simply make your discord account, and use it separately from the game.
Imho, it's a waste of resources.
it's cheaper to integrate with existing software than to build your own. question is whether Discord is still doing their games integration thing. people are going to use discord anyways, might as well make it work with in game chat. maybe you can't chat in local or other public channels but you can chat with guild/alliance or any private channels created.
@Tuoni I think killing livestock is going to be possible. You said something I hadn't thought about, in terms of livestock, which is, a thievery/ bounty system. The consequence for killing someone else's property would result in the perpetrator be marked as a thief, bounty on his/her head, lose karma.
Like I said before, I presume there can be some kind of thievery feature which is then bound to karma and criminal system. I can see this be a thing. Also, IF this will be possible, it should not be easy task or there should be possibility to protect your property.
However, what good the game would get if players can just go to other players farm and slaughter animals just for fun? None. Game should not encourage grieffing and not make any aspect of game (in this situation farming) so frustrating activity that no-one wants to do it anymore. That's why it is important to think possible thievery mechanic through very closely before implementing anything.
I don't personally mind if you can't steal stuff from other players property. I don't see enough value in thievery versus how much frustration it will cause.
that's pretty easy. while the livestock is on your property they are safe and can't be harmed. when they're off the property they're free game!
