My god, I was about to post asking if the tribal aggressive nudists in Salem mentioned in PC Gamer were goons.

I read this earlier and was upset that the tribe wasn't named. I knew as soon as I read that it was the goon-opolis. Please post more about scaring and killing the devs/nosey journalists. My Internet is too crappy to get in on most goon projects, and this one seems like it has potential.

That PC Gamer article first reminded me that this beta was in full swing and then that there was obviously a large goon presense already.

I don't have a beta invite yet but I figured I'd join up early so I can enjoy first-hand accounts of goings-on.

Salemgoons update:

Jaroslav took out a raid last night and killed some people, but lost a couple of our own. I am going to do my best to find tons of iron bars and just create a wall of braziers.

Paradox mods dislike our swastika made out of skeletons.

Beta keys gone.

Otherwise, I have 2? beta keys to hand out, will send them to the first two people who ask - PMs pref.

I don't have an account which makes me able to send PMs but I would love a key if you still have one . My mail is x.

A 25% loss would be more than enough. I'll be enjoying D3 instead anyhow in oh another 48 hours? It's a fun game that I'd prefer not see ruined with stupidity because two people are disconnected from all the people who could be potential customers. At least it's not going to be a bioware size flop.

<forge_76> what was the goal of this game
<Jackard> to fail spectacularly, and serve as a warning to others
<Jackard> "stop making uo-likes that focus solely on pvp and give the victims nothing to do"

Mortal Online should have been lesson enough. Unfortunately, Seatribe designs their games in a vacuum.

Just consider players begging for better cameras or keyboard movement; the devs have steadfastly resisted the former and judging from their sloppy implementation of WASD they had no loving clue what the latter was about.

ps.
<notadinosaur> wait are there really people here who think this game shouldn't have permadeath
<Jackard> that would be like taking away one of its only gimmicks
<notadinosaur> permadeath is literally the only interesting thing about this game

I'm quite interested in this game, but I certainly won't be able to start playing for another week or two since I still have exams. With that in mind if anyone would like to send me a key at goongoongoon@seiken.co.uk that'd be swell but please prioritise those who will actually be able to play soon over me!

Just a reminder, join IRC or teamspeak when you are playing this.

Otherwise we have no way of warning you about raids - had a guy join chat earlier just to complain about a knockout while we were under attack.

core problems:

(2) inherently grindy gameplay
(3) lack of cooperative gameplay
(4) item spawning mechanics wrt foraging
(5) awful combat mechanics
(6) lovely UI

But wait, that can't be right!

"I think that the feature - although it's not a feature, per se - but perhaps more a quality of the game, that players will appreciate the most, is probably the freedom of the game. The fact that nothing in the game is kinda forced upon you, there's no... kinda grindy content that you have to go through before you can do this or that."
