So fast overview (didnt play long): Graphics looks way better. Did tree always move in the wind?
Volcano is brighter, which is kinda good… I saw things I never saw before.

The new lava is… Kinda looks cool from afar, but when you are close to it: Its just water with a different color.

Volcano T4 npcs still kill everyone else and frost dmg is way worse compared to before.

The new sounds are also nice bonus. Didnt have time for more, will test crafting things at the weekend.

Edit: Also saw some blonde/bright haired people on the volcano. Never saw before.

Edit2: and it looks like you cannot reset decay with placing a bomb anymore…

Bien después de la Desfachatez de hacer hoy mismo un Directo para hablar de la 2.4 con la Vergonzosa actualización de 126GB para tener ahora el juego Bloqueado (server JCe.C y con algunos Bug, raro no¿?) no se atrevieron a contestar a nadie que Pronuncio en todo momento su larga espera por Contenido nuevo, El Gran MAPA que tanto alardean y en Consola no Existe pero los 126Gb están hay… Alguien que me esplique a que a venido el Directo de hoy de la Actualización 2.4 ( para PC) Gods nuevo, armas, armaduras, etc… Cuanto nos va a costar a las Consola disfrutar como en PC. Queremos el PUTO MAPA, 126Gb no son Estructuras ni la mitad de lo que Dijeron. Pero cuando Anuncien el precio que nos va a salir en Consola poder Ver todo lo que enseñaron hoy… :smiley: Vais cuesta abajo y la caida no es pequeña.

Alright so I gave the “new” update a whirl, and not only am I impressed with a few of the changes I am estatic to see that when you decide console is worthy of isle of siptah it will look nice I think, honestly it’s hard to tell from those thumbnails, but hey it’s a something.
.
Now a few notes for you fellow exiles:
Any damage mod you have on your weapons, has now made them useless to put on thralls. Causes the thrall to at best perform single attacks.

Your benches just increased exponentially, and your benefits from them reduced exponentially.

PC players have had this update, and more for over half a year now, so pretty much disregard their silver spoon comments.

Your health regen is severely crippled, and so is your combat abilities.

Your thrall still heal from food, but you don’t

Healing arrows are trash now, and hardly even heal you, or your thrall regardless of your perks.

Stability is worse now with every player now placing at least 6 new tables in each of their bases.

Your stamina regen is abhoring at best, and you still can’t dodge a hammer.

Your armor now benefits you as well as basic armor, so other then base armor it little to nothing for your current build, gl finding a new balance.

There’s an awesome dlc bundle you can look at that includes the first mount they ever announced, yes even before horses, but you can’t even obtain it. Well at least it looks like it will be cool…

Your bench thrall you fought so hard to get, and were so proud to have are now decorations.

Great news though, you can fix your boobs, and color your clothes more. Not sure how that was a necessity over the content, but hey we all have our preferences I guess…

Mammoths are beastly again, so get ready for a fight if you are looking for that useless meat.

Well that’s all I have for now, I’ll keep looking through this fog, for the rainbow they hid, but if I find it I will let you all know. That’s for the update funcom, oh ya the Khari armor fix, well ya the change anyway. At least that’s something…

Then I would like a refund, because this is no longer the game I bought

Skinning knives have done the same for forever. They don’t show up in any slot unless something other than a skinning knife is placed on the board.

Well i miss the best part on this game, since the last update and this is the full nudity. I mean this was your unique selling point and made the difference between other survival games or in generell other games.

136

Fortunately, it’s only temporary. They made a mistake and they’re looking into fixing it:

To each their own. Yes, it’s a unique selling point, but to me it matters much less than, for example, the source material it was based on, or the building system, to name a few. When it comes to gorgeously drawn nudity, I prefer to read Milo Manara :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

137

They have updates that fix problems, not change the core gameplay so drastically that it warrants a change in genre

How important is the nude? I honestly don’t care about the nude. If we complain about this normal nonsense that they ignore us, regarding the other colleague who says that they will refund the money … Really … You play in 1 player games … You can modify everything to your liking. The update is good it is a 9 out of 10, because it can always be improved but it is the best update we have had in years.

Its actually devoving. You would know this if you had played the game before it changed. One cannot miss what one never had. Like i said, since you are neww it seems like the game is improving but this patch just put a bandaid on a bunch of problems funcom introduced themselves. The basic carpenter workbench used to give you bark as a byproduct for making shaped wood, they removed that feature and gave it to the “improved” version unlock around lvl 40, so until you reached that level you had to go farm dead trees for bark since it was the only consistent way to get bark. This update increased bark drop from all trees to make up for this change they still refuse to admit was a mistake. The changes to block and healing were suggested by me about a year ago, in a post that detailed how to make combat more balanced for both pvp and pve, and as you can see it add a layer of challenge when you need to disengage in order to drink a potion, rather than instantly heal from pressing a shortcut. When i make these suggestions, its not so i can get an easy mode, or simply to hate on the game like you might think, its because i saw the potential this game had back then and bad attempts at “balancing” have been killing that potential. Imagine both players and enemy AI, having abilities that make combat more fun and challenging, instead of neutering the player so bad that the enemy artificially seems more threatening. You should give my suggestions post a read if its still around

I have read many complaints again, from my point of view I can only say positive things. :relaxed:

I am grateful that FC finally came up with something new.
I’ve been playing for 8000 hours now, have everything you could find, there was never a server wipe, so I still have all the great weapons from the past (with kit).

I’m looking forward to putting another 8,000 hours into the game.

Today a new house is being built for all 18 new workbenches.

Thanks to the entire FC team for your commitment.:heart:

On which server you play? I agree that the game is nice. I look into it in single player mode but the two servers I played before and most of the other pve c servers are not available at the moment. I like to discover the world online with cool buildings of other players. Some fights, some friends :slight_smile: , so offline single player is to boring to me.
I started with pvp but there was to many cheaters that use every glitch they can find. So I go to pve-c… But I lose everything becouse of the loading screen issue on the first server I played. Maybe 8000h too, I don’t wanne know that :sweat_smile:
Anyway… I hope they fix this.
I think the changes to the stamia and healing are good. Makes fighting more interesting. The new crafting stations are cool too. Also the new crafting system is fine for me. I would like to see some different skins to the crafting stations. It would look nice if they don’t look exactly the same. Or just for example randomly generated trees on the carpenters bench or tools in different places at the benches.
I like to build realistic and two carpenters benches with exactly the same tree on it looks a little bit unreal.

I really hope my loading bar finish soon, so I can start the game :blush:

You never mentioned you played before the Great Nerf, all you’ve been doing is saying im “kicking” while you praise the fact that it took them this long to clutter up your base with unnecessary work stations and give you character asthma while youre still expected to fight groups of enemy NPCs with infinite stamina. They should at least balance area south of the river for solo players who have no perks or thralls, but you still get Elite enemies spawn next to Argos the Wanderer and turn you into chunky salsa while you are locked in conversation. I didnt even mention that in one of my test runs I started taking sandstorm damage, inside my house, while there was NO SANDSTORM outside!!! But sure, keep saying this patch was worth the wait, because FC can do no wrong. The only way this game will improve is when you stop being so sycophantic and actually point out the flaws, instead of eating up this crap and going “ill get used to the taste eventually”. Keep applauding their bad changes, like requiring a resource from an end game area, to craft a mid tier weapon. If youre going all the way up the snowy mountains to harvest black ice, you best have something stronger than steel, and if you do, why bother making hardened steel at this point, you probably looted a star metal weapon on your way there. Doesn’t take a game designer to see that is a terrible progression scale. For every good thing they add in a patch, they implement one terrible “rebalance” that kills my hopes of ever being actually balanced. Your dedication has you guys alter your playstyles, bases, and even reasoning capabilities, just to make this game work. I had someone tell me “just do one attack at a time”, then why the hell did FC bother putting four hit combo strings in a game that youre meant to play like Minecraft? I dont know why you defend these nerfs so adamantly, if the skill ceiling is raised, you lose nothing, you can still have your thrall play the game for you if thats how you like playing. It will still be a survival game because the survival mechanics are in the hunger/thirst/temperature, resource gathering, base building and defending, so you dont have to make the player weaker. If PVP is your argument for the nerfs, there are plenty of pvp games that play more similarly to how this game played before the ps+ free patch, and all this game needed was: a sprint attack to catch up to runners, stamina depletion on block to avoid turtleing, and maybe a parry to counter the reach of a pike (instead of nerfing them over and over again). The new stamina system was a good idea on paper, but since the delay before regen kicks in combined with how slow you regen, causes your character to end up waiting to act almost as much as they did before just to end up dry again in no time. Either reduce the delay, or increase the regen rate, and seeing how theres already a perk that increases regen rate, i would go with the delay reduction. There you have it, balance! You can go back to using 4 hit combos (if the enemy hyper armor allows it)

I haven’t seen the actual numbers yet of how much they increased the Mammoth’s health by, but to me, it seems like it’s taking me 3 or 4 times longer! I think at this point it has more health than a Rotbranch does (at least it now takes me longer to kill).

I always had this issue as well, but since the update on PS I can now see my skinning knife’s in the three slot weapon rack :slight_smile: not sure if it works for everyone now, but I can confirm that it does for me on PVE Official

Haven’t seen anyone write about it yet, but I also may not have been looking closely. But it appears as though the XP to level up thralls has been dramatically reduced. From the patch notes I wasn’t sure if this was just for the players, but it’s clear that thralls now require far far less XP. In some cases it appears to be halved, in others it appears to have been reduced even more. I feel kinda dumb having levelled up around 50 thralls the old way, but this new way I’m literally flying through levelling thralls and animals up, its awesome!

152

Unless I’m misremembering, the changes weren’t merely to the health, but also to the armor. If you want to kill it faster, try using weapons with more armor pen and/or stacking sunder.

TLDR: muchas cosa (especialmente el combate) han empeorado desde que compre el juego hace dos años, y la comunidad lo defiende cuando FC mismo termina haciendo arreglos a los problemas que ellos causaron.
