Important BETA RELEASE DISCUSSION - DECEMBER 4TH (*ALL* beta discussion goes here. Other threads deleted)

Thank you so much for all your hard work! My only suggestion so far is a lack of feeling of weight in swinging swords and hitting enemies. It feels a little light and not as impact-full? I dunno, maybe I'm just nit-picking as an animator. But so far, everything is great!!

 

I still can't get my key

 

Enjoying the beta so far. However, I feel that the heat bar is a little misleading. With its current sun icon, it makes you think it's a light meter. It should be changed, either having an icon of a flame or; even better, a flame at the full end of the bar, and a snowflake at the empty end. That would convey the message a bit better.
Also, the warmth symbol for clothing and armor should also be changed to a flame.

 

I'd love this game, but now it have some disadvantages. I don't know if u made it specially to slower our progress or smf, but i think that world in underground is quite too empty (not enaught ores), mining is a bit too long even for the lowest level. Mobs are too strong & bow is too slow. (I tryied to make mission and I died several times before I killed any monster using bow) And the last thing I had a problem was movement of my character. I can't explain it clearly, it's like walking on ice or something.

Of coarse game have a lot of advantages like music, graphics,crafting, etc. But I would be sad if that problems would left after relase.

 

I don't know if this has been posted but if you jump and hold down (s) you can go through wood platforms, but if you just press down while standing on them you can't go through.

 

Just bought a 4pack for friends.. annnnnd.. no Key yet.

 

Yeah, uh, why is it that I can barely run this game? I have a built-in Radeon AMD that can run TF2 pretty well on its lowest graphical settings at about 1200 x whatever, and even after I changed Starbounds resolution to really small, I still got a dreadful framerate.

 

Another thing, that I forgot when I posted my last reply. The hunting bow's charge time should be shorter, I think.

 

I always crash at the chucklefish logo in the game

 

I came across a odd boundary line of dirt I cant mine past (marked in red) http://i.imgur.com/qedZJun.jpg
Quit, reloaded. Went back. Holy temples batman. http://i.imgur.com/qLtUHim.jpg
So biom load problems.
But so far. no crashes.

 

Rain makes my game lag really bad. Anyone know of a fix for this issue?

 

... This is SO not fair... I've been downloading since about 1 hour after the planned release [10pst?] and i only got about 46mb. I mean, i know Steam kinda works like some sort of Torrent or whatever, and that my internet is made of po's and po golems... but shouldn't it be a little more stable?
At this rate, i'll only get the game by the next update, if not by the next PHASE because of updates themselves. The OST in mp3 format isn't included with the game, right? That file size is from the sounds and images and shaders and millions of lines of code, right?

 

I've only had a few problems technically (first time I loaded it, it took forever and ran like 3 versions and then crashed). However, I question the balance of the game heavily. It seems impossible to defeat the Distress Beacon enemies without an insane amount of preparation. I'm unsure how to get better weapons and armor outside of a few drops. Maybe I'm missing some key thing, but it took me about 2 hours to get all the parts for the Distress Beacon and then it is a one time use that spawns an enemy so strong it one hits me at max life. Not only that, but it camps my spawn point so the second I teleport down to the world I instantly die...

 

how do i place blocks so that they are background blocks? : /

 

For anyone who does not have their key, check your humble profile and click on Starbound. Key should be there.

 

Right click instead of left, also when shift is held, it makes one block places not 4.

Unrelated to that my first world had no trees on it... the only tree like things gave me plant fiber stuff.
Making new char -.-

 

I originally had the game installed on my RAID array, in which I have 4 hard drives in raid 10. After reinstalling on my C drive instead, a lot of my lag issues I was having went away.

 

That happened to me the first time I attempted to launch the game. Give it a few moments without closing it, see if it eventually moves. Otherwise, I got nothing.

Otherwise, all looks to be fine. I know I'm fine. Apart from the spontaneous crashes every... While...
I'm guessing between half an hour, to an hour of gameplay before it assplodes. Still, I can live with that for now.

In the meantime, I hunger. I think I might go get me some chips...

 

I sorta found 3 things playing through the game:

- I found one of those Pixel Containers... only it was really large and had a spinning pill. It sorta... just disappeared when I started striking it with a pickaxe.

- There was an Avian Airship on my world. I tried to sleep on one of the hay beds and noticed that one of the Avian crewmembers actually walked between me and the bed I was sleeping in. Sorta minor.

- And sorta whatevs, I ate one of the bananas described as Apex only as a Human- and it recovered my hunger without any visible side-effects.

 

I feel the arm rising in the air for every fall is unnecessary. For small falls nobody would ever think of doing that. Perhaps you should only include it for longer falls. I also noticed the Florian's arm while falling is practically a green blotch, only one color. I think more detail needs to be added.
