Maybe this is the true successor to SWG we've been waiting for. My only concerns:
- The F2P business model isn't working well with Archeage, with rampant hacking and botting.
- The engine/graphics look severely outdated. There are lots of indie sandbox games coming out around about now, this game won't survive if it can't offer a polished experienced.

I made a post on their forums detailing how they could improve the visual side of the game. The problem here is DX9 and HeroEngine's inability to color-grade in-engine. However, I was told that the next update of HeroEngine is upgrading to DX11, so we may see some improvement there hopefully.

I'm glad this thread finally popped up, though. The hype for this game is nonexistent at this point. It'll be fun taking it over.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
For anyone who seems intimidated, the crafting system is actually really simple. Here's an example of a common crafting process:

1. Chop down a tree for firewood.
2. Produce Distilled Water by boiling contaminated water with your firewood (using your water distillation skill).
3. Go out and mine some Calibrite and Anthracite from Calibrite and Sarnium deposits respectively.
4. Combine your Calibrite, Anthriacite, and Distilled water into Polyacrylonitrile using your Mineral-Metal Synthesis skill, this will be your polymer.
5. Next go find a Hudson Fir tree (make sure it's a Hudson Fir) to chop down and heat its wood with the Distilled Water you made earlier to get some Hudson Moss.
6. Then you need a Textile Fiber which can be more Hudson Moss but if you can't find any more Hutson Firs you can use Acrylic Fibers made by:

6a. Heating some Cree'it wood with Distilled Water to make Acetic Acid.
6b. Mine some Chromite Clusters from a Sarnium deposit and mix it with your Acetic Acid and Distilled Water to make Chromium Acetate.
6c. Mix the Chromium Acetate with more Acetic Acid and Polyacrylonitrile to make Acrilic Fibers.

7. Anyway next pick some Kosha plants and mix it with more Distilled Water to get Sulfuric Acid.
8. Mine some Baryte Clusters from a Pyrohemalite deposit and mix it with your Sulfuric Acid and Distilled Water to make Hydrogen Peroxide (using Mineral Acidification).


Finally mix your Hudson Moss, Textile Fiber, Polyacrylonitrile, and Hydrogen Peroxide to make a Composite Rope that you can use to hang yourself.

I haven't set it up yet since there are currently no officers elected; I can certainly do that and if someone is serious about this I can give them mod powers.

First off I want to state Pavlov that this post is my newest official Best Post of the Year so as long as no one does something better in the next two months you got a shot at the championships.

Second. I would like to state that I am unsure if either this game or Life is Feudal had a more time consuming complicated crafting system but in regards of rope LiF has this beat hands down. It is at min a 4 hour effort if you are the luckiest person on the planet or 26 hours if you went down the farming route.

Yeah but most of that is setting up crafting stations. With the infrastructure its just: pick flax -> boil flax -> spin fax to linen -> weave linen to rope. The recipe I gave was just raw materials. I have no loving clue what kind of workbenches or recipes Repopulation need to do any of that.

EDIT: Please do not run off with all of our Sulfuric Acid

Okay wtf is up with this crafting. For a needlessly complex system their chemistry is wrong. Only one I decided to nitpick apart Ethanol http://aena.at/craftmap/item694.html they have you reacting ethylene and carbonic acid which does not give you ethanol. You can make ethanol from ethylene via acid-catalization but that with phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid. I need to stay away from this game or little poo poo like this will piss me off. If your going to go this complex at least get the chemistry right.
