Coming in a few days (sorry for the delay!)

why thank you very much kind sir/madam!

Also, if anyone has any coordinates to a gun merchant many of us would be very grateful!

 

A reset wouldn't bother me to much however can we not make it a full reset. Can we keep our 3d printer patterns and sector unlocks. If we just get dumped on a new level one planet atleast the only boss we would need to do again would be the UFO..... I think I would want to kill myself if I had to kill the dragon again.

 

Also, why can't the music system be .mml format instead of .abc, I like Mabinogi's music composition much more than .abc. Is it due to copyright issues, compatibility issues, issue being that you have not heard of it, or etc.?

 

A few things after reading through a lot of this thread.

1. Winxp is your own fault. Shame on anyone who still has it and shame on chucklefish for wasting time trying to support it.

2. Anyone who thinks the current weapon/armor pen system is complex hasn't played the game enough. Others have explained that's its a game of whether your weapon can one shot a mob before it can do the same to you. Not complex. The new system has more nuklmbers making it easier to tweak. Why complain that you want health to stay at 100? Whats the difference between hitting a mob for 10 damage if it has 100 hp and hitting a mob for 100 damage if it has 1000hp? The numbers will just make it easier to balance across the board.

2a. Regenning health from sleeping is a simple tweak to make it percent bases instead of hp based. (It could actually already be percent based butbwe wouldn't notice because we have 100 hp.)

3. They were up front about wipes. This is a beta. People like to start posts with ' I know this is beta but..'. just stop there. Most games don't have an actual beta. This wipe happened after less than a week and ppl are already whining. If you dont want to worry about wipes you don't have to play until the final release. No one is forcing you. I personally like playing and giving input. Then we start fresh and try out the changes. Not all big changes will require wipes but if that's what it takes then so be it.

 

So true.

 

I'm prepared for a reset. That's the term I agreed to when I decided to join Stage I Beta. Can't wait to see how this new combat system changes the game up.

 

Lol This And Is next to each other

 

I am kinda glad for a reset....I feel like I cheated the UFO boss by crafting the OP Snow Infantry armour lol.....but in my defense, even then it was fkn hard

 

I defeated the UFO with Hunting Iron bow and silver set, after the update that made the ufo break blocks. Wasn't that hard! (used the DASH tech a lot tho)

 

Tanks, pengiuns, it got a bit much at some points lol

 

Will you guys be working on the issues with Nvidia Graphics cards in the next update or soon? I know it's a known bug but the work around didn't work around it for me so I'm stuck with ultra laggy ultra amazing game :/

I'm developing a serious love-hate relationship with Starbound.

 

I do not approve of the Level change, and I find the whole Armor penetration thing different and interesting. Not at all hard to pick up if you pay attention to what you use and experiment, which many games tell you everything these days, it was fun to learn that as I played. You need to be more optimistic with what you have, trust me it might need work but a few tweaks and I bet you'll have a great system here. Don't toss it away for a generic system. Please.

The levels as they are, are well off, I feel like I have more variety among planets and dont have to stick to "lv1" at the start or "lv10" at the end, By far more choice and area to move around in when looking for a challenge, or just looking for some easy mashing fun. If anything consider expanding level ranges in sectors, add a mixture of lessor values and higher values.

If anything there should be more Biomes available through out each of the sector.
So far i have a Hammer with 23atk, 21armor pierce, all i need to know is how to trap my enemies in dirt and smash them, works for me, can work for anyone.

 

This kind of attitude doesn't have any place in a beta test, to be bluntly honest. I get that you're siding with the developers and trying to defend the hard work they do - and that's fine - but attacking other people in such a way, and fighting AGAINST those offering constructive criticism, makes you just as bad as the players who didn't read the "How the Beta is Going to Work" post, and are complaining about character wipes or lack of OS support. Calling those who don't agree with the balance changes "crybabies" isn't helpful to anyone in any sort of way - in fact, most of us who have commented on the changes have offered alternatives, or suggestions, that the development team can then take and weigh good or bad. Especially with a team that thrives on their community feedback, having people question every single system, and offer suggestions is critical. Not everything will get in. Hell, very little of it will get in. But that doesn't mean that the community should not question design choices and offer alternative suggestions every step of the way. That's why it's beta. That's why it's open. We've already seen Tiy toss mentions to certain commenters who have offered suggestions already. We're all entitled to our opinions about the direction of the game and game balance - and none of those voices should ever be silenced. Having people like yourself telling everyone else to shut up and keep quiet does nothing for the design process.

The developers are (Probably) human. They make mistakes. We all do. Sometimes in game development, you come up with a cool unique system that sounds awesome on paper but doesn't come out great in application. It's been known to happen. You could go on thinking your thing was awesome while the majority of players hate it if you just ignore them, or you can realize that you potentially made a mistake, and tweak or adjust it as necessary to develop a more polished product with a more supportive community. The studios that have ignored their players often invoke the ire of said players. The development team actually lets us know that they're listening, and even if they don't implement every change, they're willing to look at our suggestions and see if any of it might sound like a good idea. That is why we question, and why we suggest. We care about the team, their growth, and the growth of the game. We're just trying to help where we can - and attacking those people does nothing for the community, the game, the developers, or yourself.

 

Welp there we go, just trap your enemies in dirt and smash them... System is obviously working perfect. Totally balanced and interesting combat... Yup.

Armor Penetration system is much complex. WOW. Such interesting.

 

I probably should have read this post before making my post. I saw the update a few days ago saying that you were testing a new leveling system. That's perfect. So far, every problem I've had with the game has been addressed in an update. I'm so glad you guys are working hard to make this game as epic as the foundation it's sitting on.

Here was my post(s) I made.

What Nvidia issues? I have Nvidia GTX 560ti and works Perfect! Never lags or crashes or anything

 

make the game for mac 10.6.8 pleas
i wont to play this game so badly

 

throwing in to say i hate the armor system changes...

I don't even get what was so tough about it. The moment I saw weapons had a 'penetration rating' I knew immediately what it did. I mean i didn't know exact numbers but i knew what it would do and what it would mean. I honestly liked the system, and it allowed a variation in worlds and creatures.

And now you're going to go from..within a sector..having 10 levels of difficulty..to a simple 3? And even then low/high ends of each difficulty overlap?

Seriously...I don't think the real thing to do was simplify it..the system was already simple. What you needed to do was explain it..same thing with being able to hop around planets. Some people just don't mess around and need to be told how every little thing works..that dosn't mean a system is too complex..it means people are being lazy and you need to make up for it. But don't ruin the game in the process.

 

I know that a lot of you are upset about this character wipe, but please stop posting on this thread about it. I came here to look at opinions on the post and discuss that, not to see 200 people beg that the developers save their precious things. It was clearly stated that this wipe would be happening and that you should not participate in the Beta if that would upset you.... There is no way around it.

This XP patch is another story as well. I don't know why you are all so upset about XP not being given the same attention as the newer operating systems. The system was released in 2001. Demanding the devs to make Starbound's performance and support on XP similar to windows 7 or 8 is like demanding Sony that they make their latest playstation 4 games on playstaion 2(released in 2000) and that they run with the same performance and receive the same attention. There is a fine line where the performance of the a game is no longer the developers fault, but the users fault for not having the necessary hardware and software to handle it.... This is were I would personally draw that line. I would really urge anyone that is using Windows XP to upgrade as soon as possible. The operating system is 12 years old and downright ancient to today's standards. In fact, Microsoft will stop new support on XP in April of 2014... so in four months it will basically be as is forever. On top of that, the newer operating systems are flat out better in every aspect.

Oh, and I absolutely love the game so far. I know that it has some bugs (and I've run into a decent number of them) but I have loved finding and reporting them. I am also very glad to hear that the balance in the combat is being tended to. I dont want the game to be easy, but I also think that a game where I either one-shot an enemy or get one-shot myself is very frustrating and overall, not fun.

 

While I'm not one to take it into overboard... I swear, the amount of QQ over character wipes is discouraging.
It's only been out for what? Three days, right?

I'm sorry, excuse me while I go laugh over the possibility of you sinking a couple of weeks into a character and them announcing another wipe. The reaction would be priceless.
Beta is beta.
