See you in a couple days bwos
>Everquest in Minecraft>call it Evercraft>perfect>get scared because you're retarded and think Daybreak owns the rights to the word "ever">remame your game to adoodoo online adventures imagine giving your money to someone so incompetent
looks like shit, don't link me this again
>>3128650nobody asked shawn
>>3128650My brother, have you seen >>3127688?
Uninstalled after 3 hours I'm going back to MnM/FFXI, this is serious dog shit... can you delete this thread OP?
>>3129731I agree this video game thread deserves to be on page 1.
is discord the only place to discuss aoa, considering it'll still be years before any permanent release?
>>3130293Yeah. There is a subreddit but it is mostly dead, used for patch notes. The discord is thankfully not too large.
>>3130355bleh, I hate trying to keep track of games before their release. I'll probably be actually senile before this is playable.
>>3130365But it's already playable. :-) Nah I get what you mean though. I don't think it will be quite so bad. They have 5 years of work to show and aren't rushed so that's nice to see steady commitment and consistency. They seem to focus on "content" and recently(TM) got all their system builders and ingame tools completed so they can make content quicker. Pic related is the current world, 1/3rd complete.They have 12 races and I think they want all of them to have their own starter city. Four cities are out with the Elves and Solendris this patch. Ashkin, Dryads, and Half-Elves are created but removed from alpha until their cities are in. They also in the past couple of weeks made significant changes/updates to both their launcher and their website.
>>3131466where is the feedback formi need to let them know that elves not being able to be rangers is a travesty also you seem to follow development more than i do, are racial skills on the docket list? i like the models but never got a chance to get ingame to see what skills each race starts with
>>3132328racial traits aren't ingame yet. they might be waiting until all races are in to add them i don't knowthey have a shitload of FAQs in their discord and they have a searchable dev log + patch notes on their website>feedbackthey have a bug report form ingame and you can make bug reports on their disc.
flash test encoreservers are up THIS IS NOT A DRILL
it's supper time tho, I have to cook, don't have time to play, have to wait for tomorrow.
>>3135452It won't be up tomorrow.
>>3135471I meant Sunday. The week-long playtest that starts on the first.
What directory does the launcher use for temporarily holding downloaded files? My main drive is running dangerously short on space (4 gigs left) and I'm worried that's dumping shit in the windows temp folder or appdata like all modern shit does.I already noticed that there is 600 megs of something in locallow/appdata (content_cache) but I don't think it's related to the launcher specifically.
Im in niggasJust messing around and getting my bearings, first impressions are nice though. I actually dig the art style, the UI is pretty clean and comprehensible, and noob combat is eq evocative but not as "stand around for 20 seconds waiting on your button to finish its cd" so that's niceTrying monk out, invite if you wanna do noob shit
>>3136012>non-ogrelol can't help ya bud
>>3136158So each race has their own starting spots? Nice, I haven't tried other races yet
Dropping m&m for this. No Trent to talk to me like I'm a 6 year old he's scolding. And the game seems pretty fun. Laughed pretty hard when I saw the moon.
>>3136375So far what I like is the general pace of the game. Medding takes around a minute to two minutes, combat is actually pretty fast and feels deadly, skills have low enough a cooldown and cost significant enough on resources that I do have something resembling a decision tree during fights, so it feels good. I am sure that will change as the level goes up but if they make sure it feels similarly as it all scales up then things are looking good
>>3136188>So each race has their own starting spotsseems to be the goal, yes
flat earthers VINDICATED
Damn there are even class unique areasJust made a Hexknight and you start in some caves with Necromancers and other 'evil' classes it looks like
>>3136729Dude its crazy, every npc has something to say too. Hobbit area is kind of insane, it has a upper portion hills, but an underground area. There's a ton of npcs and they all have stories or quests or whatever, lots of effort put into this shit. Probably helps they can do that since they made everything look like minecraft so they can put effort in elsewhere. Just stole a pie from some old ladies window to give to a lazy fucker who hangs out on the outskirts of town who keeps trying and failing to steal her pie. Just stuff like that is neat
The Ogre starting area is pure kino holy shitkinda reminds me of the Troll starting area in daoc
elfland is pretty
>Moving water actually moves you while you're waist deepBros Im already picturing raging rapids pulling people downstream, kinda dope
>Ingame note systemHoly FUCK way too few games do this
>>3136946>another ogreHELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKER
Summoner is basically Dark Age of Camelot's Thaumaturge
>>3137186Well I'm sold. I love spamming those elemental fuckers
>>3137268There's some unique game mechanics that seem to involve splitting and voltroning your pets together but i havent really messed with it to be honest
so the elf city seems to basically have the aesthetic trappings of standard elves but they're actually kind of a policestate because of some calamity they caused or whateveralso eldritch abominations will roam the streets at night and force their way into your brain to make sure you aren't thinking wrongthoughts
>>3137385Yeah it looks sick. Sad to see servers go down right when I found a class I wanted to fuck around with more.
FUGGGGG IT'S OVERsee you niggas in two days
Well, this left a much more positive impression than Monsters and Memories did.
>>3137525the new character onboarding for ogres was pretty kino
Largely positive impression so farHighlights for me,>Med time doesn't feel extreme; i was able to pick up a class, fight several enemies, and recover over the course of about 1 to 2 minutes. I had a low level party and we killed bandits outside of the human city and tried to explore a spider cave for a bit before I had to go, and during the course of the experience, things felt engaging during combat and there was enough downtime where we could socialize a little but not so long that it got boring. Part of this could just be the fact that it's a novel and new experience for me, but still, the gameplay didn't feel like it hit that severe "drag" that monsters and memories does>Art style is pretty pleasant imo; I didn't spend much time taking pictures, but the scenery looked pretty good and it ran pretty smooth on my modest PC>Combat even at a low level felt fairly interactive; I tried Monk, Hexknight, and Summoner and even at level 4~ they all had stuff to manage that didn't leave combat feeling too autoattack-yDefinitely going to be playing on Sunday
>>3137561I like the elf summoner has a note at the end that implies they wiped your memory as is standard for them to do
>>3137611Also some quality of life stuff that I noticed and felt positive about>If you die, you keep your equipped armor and spells, but any items on you (money, inventory, bags, etc) are left behind on your corpse>When in a party, if you are in a roughly medium range distance from your partymembers, you get an orientation indication that tells you where they are relative to you; important when trying to navigate as a party together in a tight space where line of sight is broken routinely and you have no audio cues to really go off of; I remember losing party members all the time in Wyrmsbane in Monsters and Memories because it is genuinely difficult to rely on anything other than line of sight to track where allies are>Every time you get xp in a group, it straight up tells you that you gained bonus xp because you were in a group; I feel this is important for making it apparent to players that they want to group
Alright boys I loved what I got to experience. I guess I'll play on Sunday. What server and what race some of you guys rolling? The halfling area is fucking amazing but I kinda would like to play with some people, don't mind being any specific race
>>3138344I'm honestly totally undecided. I liked what I saw of all the classes I played (Monk, Hexknight, Summoner)I think I should probably make a Human just because they will have the broadest class options, so anyone can feel like they can play together as the class they want to play. I might go Human Monk, I really liked the potential in the stance balance mechanic
>>3138344I'll probably stick with my ogre shaman. I'm not keen on ogre specifically and would probably rather have a bard but I will just stick with it to continue learning the game and try something else next test.
>>3138344I played/am playing an Ogre Hex-Knight. I've had no problems finding people to group with near Osgul the ogre city. I might dick around with a Summoner and try that out as an alt.
>>3139416Oh yah I am on the Grixius server.
>we need a name for our ogre banker NPC>The Counterhyb
>>3141254>They gave me this name cuz I stand here at da counter.
>>3141535nah he count da coin gud

Does the launcher's download get interrupted a lot for you? I had to restart the file check 5 times to finish the update. Log says the server took too long to respond but just wondering if it might be on my end anyway.
>>3144213I haven't personally experienced any problems with the launcher.
adrullan retard
Since 2 other ogrebros are around, I'm going Ogre Monk nyowWhen you nerds wake up let's explore
WE'RE FUCKING IN>>3144624Added you. I'm going to fuck around and try to craft some gear for a bit then grind the gnoll cave
The ogre newbie zone has no right being this cool
This is so much better than mnm it is not even funny. From onboarding experience, to lore, to moment to moment gameplay. My only complains so far are really choppy latency making everything stutter every few seconds and graphics being voxel shit, granted they tried really hard to make it look decently well.
>>3144815>stutteringThat sucks mane my toaster runs it smoothly.
>>3144832It is network issue, maybe my shithole has very shitty routing to their servers or something. It is not unplayable either just mildly annoying.
>Ogre mating ritual is that if you are swole enough to let the femogre beat the shit out of you and survive, you get to fuck herkino
>>3144643Guess I'm on the wrong server, not like I would want to group with a bunch of norgrers anyway!
yeah please say what sever you're oneveryone ive ever talked to on 4chan is on grixius
>Random meteor crashes out of the skyBros wtf
>>3144643>end up killing seals on the arctic plains this entire time>still goinglolz>>3144951Nah we're on Grixius. I ran past you way earlier.
>>3145180should've had a brown smear on it
this shit is kino bros
ITS ALL OGRE FOR THESE GNOLLS
JUST GOT HOME I KNOW IM LATE OGRE BROS BUT IM COMING
i has a bowtie now
The debuff of all time.
>Autistic need to talk to every NPC before I do anythingWell, I'll be level 2 in an hour or two at this rate
I feel like Ogres should be able to be Necromancers
>>3145837It's not a waste of time either, while doing the same in the ogre city I found several quests that were tucked away behind random npcsOne guy gives you special recipes for killing some ice elementals chillin on top of the city on a mountainAnother guy has crafting quests where you get some xp and money for craftingThere's probably more I haven't stumbled upon but they definitely put some care into the writing for the early cities
>>3145850If there's a minor criticism I have so far it's that it feels like nonhumans are really restricted in what they can be, like just glancing at ogres, elves, and halflings, it's like each of them can only be around 5-6 classes while humans get fucking all of them except one
>>3145866And the journal keeping a record of every conversation you have, including a quests tab (ogres need a full pass regarding this per word of dev) is real fucking handy.
>Ogre wilderness music at night with the aurora borealis and shooting stars in the sky
>>3145991Bro it's nutsI wasn't sure what to expect, last time I played an ogre like this was literally eq1 and i never liked their "city" (read: mudhuts) or starting zoneThis is actually a really cool starting area
>>3145866Have you done the quest where they give you a stinky shirt and to track down "Zoarek"? I found him by chance but he just says to fuck off. The "quest" said I needed a wolf to track him down, maybe that's the next trigger I need to do? See any wolves in the Ogre starting area?
I do want to make an Elf and play through a bunch of their quests/read their lore so if one of you wants to level an alt with me one day maybe later in the test then that mite b cool
>>3146041What's the Elves fucking problem?
>>3146041post about your experience bro, elf paladin was my other choice
>>3146073Yeah sure. I want to learn more about their policestate and the "green star" that fell.
we make toasty smoreswith yeti guts
>>3146193Where dis at I wanna come crash the party
>>3146264our group is full but it's the gokra cave north out of ogre citydrop ign and im sure we can throw an invite once someone leaves
>>3146193this game would have looked so much better in Hytale
>>3145991
Funny Ogre detail, the "fancy" dining room table is directly underneath the grated brawling pit, so ogre blood (and other juices) just drips down onto the dining table. Wonderful stuff, really.
love that we all instinctively rolled ogre
>>3146474Says a lot honestly
>Ogreland doesn't sell Royal Spice Blend is which the first recipe for cooking meat you gather from animals outsideREEEE THIS IS AIL'VORITH ALL OVER AGAIN except not really that place didnt have fucking anything
So everyone's on Grix?
>>3146532Appears that way yes
>>3146532There are at least 3 anons who rolled on GrixOf those at least 3 of them rolled ogres and there was a guy who was saying he's playing an elfeach race has its own starting area and faction modifiers, ogres for example are KoS at the human town without some serious reputation workI gotta say though bros I just can't get over this zone, they did a really great job with it
>>3146566I like sliding around on the ice saying "weeeee"
>>3146512>Hiddentree answers me about a DoT question I had in /general>Immediately ask him about the Ogre Royal Spices conspiracy>SilenceThis goes far deeper than I could have thought
>>3146566I posted >>3146041 and maybe Tuesday or Thursday another Elf will play with me
>>3146574You know what, maybe I was overthinking it. Why would Ogres know how to make ROYAL SPICES, they're fucking stupid special boys who eat under where other ogres squeeze blood out of each other.The answer ACTUALLY is to farm sap and just make syrup, and continue from there. It's so obvious now. (I guess!???!!??!!)
>>3146732stupid biggers don't season dey food
>>3146759Shut up stupid halfman! At least we have views like thisAlso, this is the first mmos where I've wanted to run around in first person in the cities besides a few moments for novelty, for some reason I am unable to put into words, and i've been playing since daoc
>Crafting my own size 8 bags nowME LIVING LARGE NOW
>>3146915ONCE I FIND THEM WOLVES ILL BE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU
>>3146933i just spammed wabbits, i didnt hunt a single wolf
>>3146944Rabbits give regular light hides? Nice
>>3146952>>3146944Wait not they give small as well. What am I missing? Bears give large, rabbits and shrews give small... Need regular Light Hide
>>3146952>>3146956look closely bwo, large, medium, all that just results in varying numbers of cured hides
>>3146956>>3146959Yeah, I'm even dumber than most of these Ogres. There's multiple leather padding recipes, I already learned the light version, I forgot and was staring at the trainer trying to teach me the regular version that requires regular hide, even though I could craft padding from the light version for the past hour and a half, kek.Well point is, BOOM I've joined you in inventory space land
i really hope the minecraft graphics dont put people off from this, this shit is kino. way better than whatever i could have expected
