I'm sitting on $1000 for when SC burns... I'll be spending it on scotch, cigars and a high quality lady of the night.

Invest some of that into a company that actually already has a game ready to put out.

Check out StarFighter INC on Kickstarter. They would have succeeded back in 2015 if it wasn't for StarCitizen taking the limelight with it's Jesus Patch that CIG failed to put out at that time anyways.

Anyways, Impellar Studos failed the first one but 2 years later they are back with an even better product that's more polished and ready for production.

Has this been discussed?

Amazon says they will help Roberts by giving servers and backing.

Game not coming out.

Amazon says gently caress it. Using Lumberyard makes their own game - New World.

I'd recommend reading the Sermons of Vivec from Morrowind because that poo poo's BONKERS. Sure, there's stuff hidden in there like a coded admission of guilt from Vivec, but there's also like... poo poo, I'm trying to even put words to that fuckery, there was some weird thing were Molog Bal married Vivec except his head had to go somewhere else to do something and there was a lot of talking about a spear that I am not 100% sure was not both a spear and a dick.

That poo poo was BIZARRE and incredible.

As someone that was a Golden Ticket holder - got up to a Redeemer deep in to the game. I came to SA from /reddit to "spy" on goons and learned hey Goons are actually way better people than shitizens and realized holy poo poo I drank too much Kool-Aid and sold everything for a PROFIT!

This game keeps delivering the comedy gold every time I check up on it every 3 to 4 months.

Thank you all for your endurance in keeping the laughs going. Especially the Citizens that keep buying in deeper.

I'm going to chime in here on my experience with New World as I played it quite extensively back in Aug-Oct and somewhat in Nov.

First off. Lethality also runs the biggest NW Discord and it's full of Shitizens. It was so overbearing that someone else made a NEW New World Discord and all the normal people went there and the Shitizens too so they could keep shilling but at least the mods of the NEW new Discord would temp ban them or perm ban them to shut them up. Lethality is also head over heels in love with New World. And ATLAS... And Sea of Thieves... I just don't know how the guy finds the time to play/shill for all these games but THAT must be his full time job? I dunno. I guess if I could get paid to shill and make a decent living I could do it too.

Moving on. I ran the Goon Guild in New World for the brief few months... The thread is super short. Just read it start to finish. The TLDR of it is that the game play in terms of combat is GOOD and the game engine - Lumberyard CryEngine - runs well enough. The Dev team in charge of the ENGINE are GREAT. The Dev team in charge of Game Play and Balancing... Are utter retards that are also being controlled/pressured by some higher up that has no idea what in the gently caress they are doing. (SOUND FAMILIAR?)

The straw that broke the camel's back was eventually the Balance Team said "Hey we're going to do XYZ changes" and the whole community at the time - the thread on the alpha forms blew up which rarely happened - with "We love XY but for the love of God don't do Z!" And the head Dev basically said - We understand your concerns and some of you have written some very well thought out critiques on the subject and how we could improve this Z system... But we're going to do our thing anyway!!!!

Z being this new way to declare war declarations on another company but instead of fixing the current game's problem with war dec'ing, the new change would allow you to "clear" a war dec by just changing your company name and guild leader. Thus starting a huge game of loving musical chairs where the only winners are the people that get bored and stop playing first. Before you guys can go all Shitizen on me and go "IT'S ALPHA" - it wouldn't be so bad if the Balance Team actually utilized us for the purpose that they claim they want us for. There were multiple, very well thought out, posts on how to improve the system that were actually REALLY good and the Dev team made it seem like they were going to go that way. They went so far as to declare - We're going to make a "War Council" and all the Guild Leaders and Good Boi Posters will be in it so you guys can give us DIRECT feedback so we can quickly improve the game! Which never happened. Especially after the camel breaking patch.

So yeah. Amazon Games is basically a mini-CIG in my mind except they actually HAVE money (for now) so stay SUPER skeptic when it comes to them when they ever end up releasing the game in EARLY ACCESS! Sometime this year for $30-$60.

Can you summarize what you actually do in NW? I haven't seen anything on it and kind of actively avoid MMO marketing these days because it's 99% straight bullshit

Is it a theme park, a pvp sandbox, a survival crafting game, etc

It's a PvP Survival Crafting Sandbox with no Theme Park as of yet but Coming Soon(TM). They are trying to do their own version of Rust/Age of Conan.

You have to craft things by picking up rocks and sticks to hit bigger rocks and sticks to get more, better rocks and sticks. Some sticks shoot bullets/arrows.

If you're not a crim - you only lose your inventory but not your equipped gear when you die. You lose everything on you if you're a criminal and you die. Punching someone or someone's property makes you a criminal for 5min for the first infraction oh it lagged and you accidentally punched twice or whatever? Now it's 3 hours. Oh you did it again? Another 3 hours. Murdering anyone is straight up 24 hours. And this all stacks. The ONLY way it ticks down is playing the game. The crim timer does not go down when you are offline. So there is NO reason to be a crim unless you dedicate a character to being a crim. But then they removed multiple characters per account so guess what? You gotta buy another account if you need a crim char and a legit char! And you need a Crim Char because the War Dec'ing in this game is so loving broken that it costs tons of time/resources/gold to DO war dec'ing but OH THEN GUESS WHAT. MUSICAL CHAIRS! We just changed our guild leader/guild name lol! So you use a crim char to murder the guild you want to murder.... and I'm done. It's so loving convoluted and loving stupid I don't want to explain it anymore. The War Dec system used to be simple with some flaws that could be fixed if they just listened to the active, good feedback of the community and then the Devs loving put a stick in their own bike spokes and blamed the community for being too "aggressive" in our PvP'ing in their PvP game.

Edit - Sorry. I can go on and on about New World, I honestly thought AGS was going to be half decent but you can't fix upper management gumming up the works. Game started out great the first few months as I've posted in the other thread it was going good until it wasn't.

He noted they have really nice kitchens, and quality chill out areas with areas you can sleep, even allow you to bring pets to work.

All things which were serious red flags as too how much time CD expects you to spend in the offices.

Perhaps I was too obtuse. As opposed to CIG's requirements of it's devs? At least CD can continuously make LEGIT promises they'll still be around making games!

It's one thing to jump on board with CI at this time and expect to get paid for all the crunch time coming. When CI goes under and Roberts makes off with the cash, those poor Devs are going to get shafted hard.

With CD, most Devs that sign on know they are at least working for people with a plan and a means and a way to follow through.

Does anyone remember an old school space MMO called JumpGate?

Strafing combat eventually became the norm on how to fight. The devs of the game even embraced it once it started becoming meta and instead of loving with their physics instead adjusted ships to better or worse at that combat. You have fast, less weapons/armor scout ships that they released and they also released heavy fighters that couldn't go as fast but had more guns/shields.

It came down to pilot skills/preference/how bad they lagged.

Not to mention a few fighters in between to fulfill niche roles. Some we're better at circle strafing as opposed to jousting, etc. Others had more missiles to spam instead of doing the joust. Each faction had their own unique ships that helped fill different slots and it came together awesomely.

It was a great space MMO.

Star Citizen is not a great space MMO.

Edit: and holy poo poo. It's still going! http://jumpgate-tri.org

loving bikes in a fidelitous space sim. Jesus Christ.

It seems like they are going to launch with only 1 system and multiple planets and focus on expanding those planets with further star systems coming in "episodic/patch" releases basically whenever they feel like it/can actually make it work.

Hence the whole "choose your own adventure" theme coming from now is basically make due with what we have and please keep giving us more money so we can make this shitshow last forever.

They are hosed in terms of "server meshing" or whatever. Basically this screams, to me, they can't make it work. So keep people "grounded" and not flying.

Can't complain about long travel times if you never leave the planet! Not that it matters because they ALL look the same. Grey/Brown poo poo stains.
