Really easy to get to end game

So basically after you murder the jelly fish and you get to Sector X you have 6 new materials:
-Aegisalt (Lvl. 5-6)
-Ferozium (Aegisalt + Coal)
-Cerulium (Lvl. 7-8)
-Violoum (Cerulium +Coal)
-Rubium (Lvl. 9-10)
-Impervium (Bubium + Coal)

So I got to Sector X with full Durasteel Set and a Platinum Drill,
To Build any of these Sets you need 67 Bars (134 Ores),

So I quickly built a Aegisalt Armor and wanted to proceed to Ferozium, Then I realized that Ferozium is basically Aegisalt combined with coal, So instead I decided to skip it and move straight to Impervium because you don't need insane amount of pixels or the previous tire armor in order to craft a higher tire... you just need to build an upgrade that allows you to craft stuff with these materials, (40 Bars of a certain material to unlock the next one, Example: You can use Aegisalt, But not Ferozium, You need to build a Ferozium Upgrade that costs 40 Aegisalt Bars, etc).

So I quickly Farmed 40 Bars or each material and finally unlocked the Impervium tire. In a matter of seconds I got the best armor in the game...
Post Sector X was so much more hard... In Sector X you do get Insta-Killed by anything, Just be careful and mine underground and you can finish the game (Gear wise) in like 1-2 hours after getting to Sector X...
Also when exploring a Lvl. 10 Planet you have a really good chance of finding a weapon of average DPS of 2000...

The process of getting each armor is the same... The hardest armor to build in the game is the Makeshift Armor (You need Matter Blocks) the rest are pretty easy...

Hope its gonna be changed soon...

 

There's no doubt it will be changed in time, the game, as long as it took to get to this point, is still in early stages of the actual balancing and gameplay. What was worked on before was getting the game to a point where they could do this. Setting up the core mechanics. There is still alot to go through, and there's also alot that is currently disabled.

 

Probably not soon but when the earlier stuff gets ironed out later tiers will be fixed. It will be a while.

 

They've yet to add all of the sectors to the game. The "Endgame" is extremely condensed for now.

Basically, don't worry, more bosses and harder stuff will be added!

 

...Each of those armor sets will have an entire sector, with a boss at the end, just like sectors 1-4...

Is that not obvious?

 

They have the first four sectors in, then it jumps you to the post-game sector. You're skipping over half the game right now. It's going to slow down as more sectors/bosses get added, and it'll be slowed even more once the main quest line stuff gets put in.

 

Not to mention how they may just add in more content to be done for each tier as well, instead of gathering ores and summoning a boss.

 

beta

 

^^^

Basically, they threw in several sectors worth of (unfinished) content into X so that you can still access the different ores, armors, etc. With time, more sectors will be added and it will be a much more balanced experience.

 

I'm not "skipping" half of the game, I just don't feel like grinding 67 bars of each of these materials + 40 bars for the upgrade for the next one, Not because I'm lazy, Its just the same process again and again, I just went for the best...
Probably in the next update there is gonna be a character wipe, I just wanned to see what it the best armor so far... It was kinna easy,
I just want you to know that its easy so you can make the process of getting new shit so much more hard and fun,
K?

 

He meant because half the game isn't there for you to play bro. You aren't skipping it by choice but you still are.

 

Go back to investigating Tyriack, pls.

 

heh Exactly. Half the game isn't playable yet. The devs set it up so we clear the first half then basically skip straight to the 'post-game'. I wasn't calling anyone out or anything.

 

If I recall correctly, I believe it was mentioned that they threw in a fast track to end-game gear etc to broaden the scope of bugs feedback and suggestions in regard to game balance (much like how they amplified ore generation during the current patch cycle). This will all change.

 

I just feel end game is should be prior to early game, Its the stage most time is gonna be spent in.
They did a really awesome job early game so far, I just hope that a character wipe is in the way, And they will change the way of getting new materials.

 

I'd rather them not do character wipes except when necessary. I don't mind it when it has to be done due to a major change but just wiping because reasons would be a little annoying. It's easy enough to start over of my own accord.

Also how would they change the way you get new materials? By removing mining? Because that's generally how you get new mats.

 

Keep in mind that there will be quite a lot of rebalancing and still that more items are being added, and that quests have yet to be implemented which will take a lot of time to complete when they are added I assume.

 

<____________________<

 

This is a sandbox game, the phrase "end game" shouldn't even be brought up. THERE IS NO END GAME. Explore all of the different types of planets; enjoy the biome variety that can occur on a single planet; build a base, or 50... Why do people try to get the best possible XX in the shortest time possible. That completely misses the point of this kind of game, in my opinion.

 

This game is only about done up to the Penguin boss.

It is a beta after all.
