I'm looking to join up with whatever goons are playing right now. I'm in the Mumble, but I don't have a mic yet and there doesn't seem to be any notification sound when I type into the chat channel. The server listed in the OP neogeo0823 fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Jan 2, 2014 |

Hopped into some servers with goons for the first time last night. It was mostly fun. We found one server that had a pretty huge wooden structure that seemed important, so we set about with oil barrerls and rocket launchers, leveling the thing. Through most of that, the lag was so bad from all the entities that people respawning into the area couldn't see anything but people shooting rockets at invisible things. We brought 3 servers to their knees through similar means. The only real snag was getting accused of being a pubbie a couple times. I don't have a mic yet, so there were a few times when goons would be dropping stacks of items that I thought they were just dropping for anyone, and I'd end up getting blown up because they thought I was stealing them. By the middle of next week, I'll have a mic though, so hopefully that'll no longer be a problem.

Archonex posted:My headset broke, which creates problems when trying to talk over mumble. If it makes you feel better, I ordered a (very nice) set of headphones from Amazon and a mic from DealExtreme on the 3rd. I got the headset a couple days ago, and can now hear exactly which direction everything's coming from. The mic will be here as late as the 23rd, and I have no way of knowing when exactly, as I didn't shell out the $2 for a tracking number on a $3 clip on mic.

I bought this game for $13 during the holiday Steam sale and I still questions if it's a bad purchase. I've played with goons exactly once, and while the goons themselves weren't bad, the experience was just really... unrefined? Rough? I dunno. I get that it's early release, which is fine, but I've got really no desire to play until the hacking issues and at least some of the lag that happens when large buildings fall down gets resolved.

Even still, at least throw your early backers a bone of some kind. Give them an exclusive player skin, or some kind of fun, harmless custom recipe or server command or something. Don't go charging people full price for an early access game and then proceed to give them nothing that everyone else won't get. At that point, you're essentially having people pay you for the "fun" of bug testing your game.
