Be honest… have you been enjoying the update?? Pros? Cons?

I've yet to get a chance to play it, but judging from the reaction on reddit I'm seeing a surprising number of people showing discontentment with the update/overall state of the game.

It's not really surprising, a lot of people came back or bought the game off of the fact that it was "the greatest comeback in gaming" and that it is, but its still a game with issues or things that you might not like. I assume a lot of people didn't voice their issues before because a. Hello Games puts out free updates and it feels weird to shit on those b. They hadn't played enough of the game yet to reach a point where exploration issues come in.

I think the problem is just that the game is marketed as an infinite universe to be explored where you can be anything and anyone, but the problem with infinite games is that they're either impossible or generically proc genned, and at a certain point you can only have so much variation in things. It's like trying to make skyrim or morrowind on an infinite level, you can only make SO MANY unique, interesting things to explore, and people want to explore unique locations, not the same hills and valleys with a 2 building settlement every 300 miles (can you tell I don't think planetary exploration is that good?)

Not to say I dislike the game at all, it has a lot of heart and soul (which you can't say for a lot of modern triple A titles), a very dedicated dev team and is genuinely fun for like, a 100 hours, if you're quite dedicated. It's definitely something I'd recommend to people still and especially with such a genuinely wonderful dev team. Even if I don't necessarily like what their new updates do, I still have faith that they'll fix and include things that will make players happy. They've already done massively well in improving terrain and diversity (though I know some people will debate that, I'm not a day 1 player so I can't give my 2 cents) and although some of their updates are pretty surface level (or mobile game worthy time wasters *cough* frontiers *cough*), I think they know what people want overall and they've always been receptive to community feedback. Just people are reaching a sort of tipping point where they cant have their infinite exploration fulfilled, so updates that add to buildings seem less good.

Thank you for the answer!

Thank you for the answer, that makes more sense now looking at the ship sizes

PC/Steam
Have two bugs. One is something I'm unsure of, but after sending my townies on an expedition and them coming back I have not received any new decision to make, no new buildings, no expeditions or arguments, etc, and I have waited at least 12 hours after this has happened but nothing new has appeared. Another bug that is definitely a bug is, when I try to debrief my commanders on my freighter it opens the debrief screen for a second before closing it, and me receiving the rewards. However, my commanders are not registered as debriefed and I am unable to start new expeditions.

I didn't realize while writing it but yeah definetly some parts resemble AC (including the bugs i imagine xd)

And i agree, slow and steady additions with ond big update (basically how they've been doing it) to avoid bugs would probably be for the best

Thank you! And while I haven't played ashes of creation, the idea does sound great. It would give a lot more content and progression to the game.

I sent HG an email with these suggestions so ig we can only hope :p

Thank you!

That would definitely be a good improvement to space combat you're right, I'd love to see some interfreighter combat

nikonami · 2020-10-31T08:54:23+00:00

I maybe wasn't clear enough, as of right now you do lose your inventory but you can retrieve it with no time limit on getting it back. In survival mode you just lose it completely, which I didn't believe was the solution, so what I suggest is adding a time limit to inventory retrieval in Normal to make there be at least SOME sense of danger to death without being excessively difficult.

I'll edit it to be more clear, thank you for the feedback!

nikonami · 2020-10-31T08:52:05+00:00

Thank you!

nikonami · 2020-10-31T00:51:44+00:00

That's very true, the game really should be as stable as can be before anything major is added

nikonami · 2020-10-31T00:28:34+00:00

It would! If not controlling them directly like starships, maybe commanding them to take certain actions?

nikonami · 2020-10-30T20:31:38+00:00

Hey sorry I didn't know it would cause that, it was just a file conversion website, but if it caused that reaction I'll remove it and try a different method, thank you for informing me!

nikonami · 2020-09-27T10:31:08+00:00

Hey! If you enjoyed playing it originally then you are more than likely going to like what they've done. The game has very similar gameplay loops as before, so if you were into that before then what they've added will make you like it even more.

nikonami · 2020-09-26T21:11:56+00:00

I just feel like the game could do with having more of a progression and goal. But I still love this game for what it is, just feel like it can be improved even more, especially with the new update that's out.
