Anyone else think Starbound is getting sort of boring?

I don't know if you think this, but to me it sort of is. I don't know WHY, though. I was playing the version before 1.0 (hope I got it right. It's the story update, right? Is 1.0 the story update?) and it was fun. Yet, around 1.0, it just started getting.. boring.

I know eventually everything will, but I find it odd I suddenly got bored of it and didn't play it. Maybe it was the fact there was suddenly a major story line, which when I think about it sort of removes the sandbox feel of it (plus making the ship useless, possibly limiting that more), or the fact that it removed planet chat for a bit, possibly ruining some roleplay servers.

Does anyone else feel the same way about Starbound? Just curious.

 

I definitely feel this, I just attempted the try the new update and got bored in less than 10 minutes.

I think the reason is because everything is just a little too inconvenient. combat is pathetically easy, exploration is pretty dang empty, starbound is a game about building. but getting the blocks I want isnt terribly easy. spawning them in using commands requires me to know what the items files are called, crafting them for free is also annoying, though I cant remember why right now.
I havnt played since 1.0 came out, so theres lots of new things for me to find, yet I didnt feel interested in finding them with my old character. so I decided to make a new one. I sat at the character creation screen for a minute and decided I dont care anymore.
it would probably help if I got a friend on to check out the new stuff with me (as thats whats kept me on warframe recently) but they have all burned out as well.

 

That's usually a side-effect I noticed after playing any game long enough. You probably just need a break for a little, explore a couple of other games, and then come back after a couple months! It's what I did. I played a bunch at 1.0, and then took a bit of a break waiting for another big update (AKA this one!).

The new update is pretty neat and refreshing after my break though, since it's fun re-enacting Mass Effect with the whole space travel business. Like, I've just forgotten enough that stuff feels a little new again, but I still remember enough to have things feel familiar.

I've been sticking to solely single player and Vanilla for the longest time though, and haven't really done multiplayer much yet.

 

having played tons in the beta, i chaulk it up to the UI brought in on 1.0. it's just a weirdly restrictive way of doing it where i used to have a much more dynamic playstyle and not it feels very.....slow.

also i can't use my old name or character settings because [] aren't allowed anymore and the antennae were removed for whatever reason....i shouldn't need to look into mods just to restore cosmetic options from the beta!

Someone hath called the waffle kinda's name!

 

a game being in beta is a good excuse for things changing
a game being in beta is not a good excuse for things getting worse for seemingly no reason

there are many aspects of starbound which I (and I know others) feel have gotten worse (grappling hooks come to mind) than what was in the beta, and no reason given as to why these things changed in the first place

 

I got bored of starbound for over a year. Ohh god when was it... It was the update after they removed the sectors that I stopped playing and did not touch the game again until 1.1
But now (mainly thanks to lots of mods) I have so much to do that I am just not bored at all.

 

Yeah, Starbound has gotten... more and more "ehh..." over time.
1.0 in particular. Devs took my beloved Gutterknife and gave us a better Super Fishaxe instead. Still totally miffed that they totally changed the combat system, I liked it when it was broken as hell by impossibly-rare weapons and all-powerful racial staffs.

 

I got bored of stations on the 1.0 launch. They just removed so much from the game. Everything from weapons that could be crafted so you could ensure that you had a weapon you like at every teir all the way to techs that they removed. They even removed character customization options on the 1.0 launch. And why? Because.

That is why starbound got boring to me

Edit: also, readding touch damage to combat made the combat incredibly boring.

 

yeah, why is touch damage back? they can clearly make mobs that have pushback without doing damage, so why do back to this awkward touch damage stuff?

 

After some time , every game seem boring , the more you learn about a game , the less you can discover new thing , so yes , it's can become boring , but hopefully , you still can make new char , play with new friend , try different mod , or like i've do , play another game some time and come back some month later.

But as it's a sentiment related to our knowledge, I have voted no.
