I reckon they pushed it back to the 19th to compete with the Ashes of Creation Battle Royale abortion which comes out the same day. Maybe they think they can snuff out AoC by grabbing all the attention on release?

The things them boys did with Life is Feudal were pretty spectacular. I would've joined if I weren't a cheap rear end in a top hat and a wow player. Bad games can be fun for goons for a month or two

You know it's going to be a who's who of terrible archeage so it'll deliver some content regardless of how the game is.

I am actually looking forward to this game. I didn't play Ark, and haven't gotten HYPE for a game since UO came out. I'm pretty hype for as little information we have on this game.

I am eagerly awaiting the tears when only 1/10th of the features they describe on Steam are in at EA launch.

If you can log into the server and just run around with other people without crashing at launch the game will already exceed my expectations. Maybe if I set them low enough I'll be presently surprised.

Setting yourself up for success, I like it.
/EDIT: Atleast I hope that's success....could be a monumental failure as well at this point. We know gently caress all about this game...

Forty-thousand concurrent players?

From the Ark dudes?

Did they do any kind of server tech purchase from CCP or are they just being strange lying weirdos?

I'm going to with "optimistic".

To be fair, at least going by the PC Gamer article, its not truly a single server. Its a bunch of servers stitched together in a way that looks seamless. I'm guessing there will be a lot of suspiciously empty patches of ocean between islands.

Anyway, I was passed another Discord link by a guy named Drache who says he's in a mixed goon/pubby group that originated from Ark. More people to possibly play with next week.

Here is a small YouTube channel that previously covered ARK content that is going over the PC gamer article:

We're going to figure out if this is a game worth spending that much energy on, then we're going out how to seize the economy by the balls, then we're going to make everyone pay us for the privilege of being massacred.

If opsec becomes a thing, we'll just start a separate PGS thread. Having a public thread is good for general chatting/more visibility for the game.

Some kind soul scanned the PC Gamer article and has posted it online, where it made its way to our Discord. Not posting the link in case of :filez: but some of the high points are:

- Ships will slowly take damage while at sea. That, combined with the player survival elements, means occasionally stopping and repairing/resupplying will be necessary.
- Galleons will represent "thousands" of hours of work, with brigatines being the more standard big ship.
- There will be US and EU servers, in addition to the PvP/PvE split.
- There are bear-drawn carriages.
