Have any left? I can see myself losing a lot of time to this game, would like to make sure before I drop $40.

I tried it via ADL's promo code, and IMO it needs a lot of work. I couldn't really even get to the meat of the game due to personal annoyances with the UI. As far as I could tell, everything was being done serverside - this meant that all UI interaction (opening pack, grabbing item, opening character window) were all paired with a second or two of lag. Also, while the UO-style backpack is different, they didn't do it well and so the novelty wears off really quickly. In its current state it feels like a system they really wanted into their game and so forced it in, not one that just works well at its core. The combination of unresponsiveness and small icon sizes makes the entire inventory thing a pain in the rear end. All I could think the entire time was "this is why new games don't use this type of inventory management". Lastly, there was no minimap, only a fullscreen toggleable one (with the aforementioned input lag) and that also got old really quick. For core gameplay, the amount that I did actually absorb was forgettable and trite. How many shovelware MMOs have I killed rabbits, snakes, deer, and bandits in by spamming the same newbie spell? Too many. Everything stunk of the standard medieval fantasy MMO tropes. I'm not going to complain too much about the lack of tutorial or direction due to the game being in alpha but I had little to no clue what to do so I just ran around aimlessly hoping I'd find something interesting. Lastly, the world was already littered with lovely personal housing and they have a tiny player base - what's it going to look like when the game goes live? I could go into more detail or hone my post to read better but who am I kidding, this game is in alpha so it doesn't even matter. It could turn out okay and maybe even fun to play with goons, but it really does need a lot of work.

Official endorsement of sorts. Lead dev is a really cool guy and he's on our Discord now. Awful Citizen/Tempus Thales got in contact with Supreem (lead developer on Shards Online) and he's worked out a Q&A for us on Wednesday, June 29th on the community discord @ 5PM EST. If you're even remotely interested in Shards, you should be there so you can ask your own questions. https://discord.gg/0blIq7586Q9op9Fn Alexander DeLarge fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jun 21, 2016 |

Yea I'll ask some questions later. I like the game conceptually but the UI really needs some work and like any other games like this, a playerbase (1 other person last time I got on). It also needs quite a bit of content work, like the only offensive magic spells appear to be really limited in nature. Wiki and a quick glance made it look like it was just fireball and lightning.

UI really needs to be simplified. Other than the connection issues (obviously going to be a thing considering it's pre-alpha) it has a lot of potential. Feels like a mix of Asheron's Call and UO. Bag graphic bothers me but when I opened my bank for the first time t was a huge nostalgia hit.

It doesn't hold your hand much and there is something lovely about watching mining going up 1 point at time... and only collect stone not ore for some reason. Definitely a pre alpha, tons of lag and super janky at best but I can see the potential.

0.3.4 Patch Notes: Catacombs Lower Level and so so much more!
|
# ? Jun 23, 2016 18:12 |

Where do you all play? I just started this afternoon and it was really laggy - all of my clicks took a couple of seconds to register. Moving and skills were fine but selecting items or talking to npcs etc was frustratingly slow. Would a murder squad on the rp server be something anyone would be interested in? In character of course - don't want to break any rules!

Patch notes look awesome, I haven't had much time to play but I'm itching to get back in - having said that, where the hell do I mine actual ore? Anywhere I go it's just stone.rio posted:Where do you all play? I just started this afternoon and it was really laggy - all of my clicks took a couple of seconds to register.

In character of course - don't want to break any rules! The lag and rubber-banding is really bad, on the verge of unplayable for me pretty much all the time. It's pre-alpha super early dev so I just live with it for now with hopes that it improves soonish.

In character of course - don't want to break any rules! murder squad sounds like mayhem. and since the dev wants goons murdering pubbies, we should obligue.

It's more like a gathering of players from here learning the game. I am also going to stick with the game until I get a good handle on things so don't take this post as a complaint. I'm just clueless. I might try the shovel in the graveyard thing. Khorne fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Jun 24, 2016 |

And I still can't kill a god drat beetle. I started killing chickens, deer and going to the cementery and killing bats and worms. also ask questions in #shards-online at Goon Discord, the developers hang at that channel from time to time and so does the group that is playing now.
