Pax Dei: NO MORE LOOT FOR YOU! Guilds Control ALL Resources, Leave Solo Players with SCRAPS!

- Have you ever dreamed of building your own empire in a vast,
open world MMO? Well, forget that dream in Pax Dei! Greedy guilds have swooped in and claimed everything for themselves, leaving solo players with nothing but scraps. Gone are the days of venturing out and finding epic loot - guilds now control all the resources, dictating the entire economy. Forget crafting that legendary sword or building that magnificent castle - you'll be lucky to find enough materials to patch up a wooden shack. Is this the Pax Dei we were promised? Absolutely not! This is a war for survival, and solo players are on the losing side. Devs are even siding with the actions of guilds, turning this into yet another "Zerg MMO" where if you don't join the majority, you're better off never playing in the first place. The entire building system and resource spawning would need to be re-worked to fix this. They won't, they don't have the funds or time or manpower to undo this, and they aren't going to ban guilds for merely playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

**Want to help support me? Click the "Thanks" button under the video to leave a donation.** 92% of MMORPG players in this day and age are considered SOLO players. This game wasn't necessarily made with "SOLO" play in mind, but it's a real shame that ALREADY on DAY TWO of Early Access sweatlord guilds are already controlling huge parts of the map, forcing anyone unlucky enough to make a house near them to settle down elsewhere. What's a real shame is some of the devs come from Eve Online, a game all about guild zerging and resource control. The same crap that happens in Eve and Albion is happening on this "cozy social MMO" game. Us solo players never stood a chance... :(
Yeah it's wild how much of an advantage guilds give you. I wonder if this game's top guilds will become like Albion's. A net negative for the players in them. and a middle finger to solo players and small squads.
Looks like this game is made for the 8% then. No shade just an obeservation.
@@jeffreygrussing9461 95% of all stats are made up :)
Crazy, when you give players total freedom it plays out just like in history. Big tiger eats little tiger.
Yeah but we play games to get away from this crap.
@@SwoleBenji i agree, im just not surprised
It's human nature.
I actually do like. And the cute couple could settle on a different server, and have a story to tell. It’s a little obnoxious, but it’s not that bad.
some people enjoy competing for resources on a large scale in games like this
if sandbox mmos arent for you thats fine but some of us like it
Sounds a lot like real life and how our society began. Either go out and try to make something happen before anyone else or you end up working for the people who got there before you did.
I wanna play a game that doesn’t remind me of real life. I’m kinda regretting purchasing this game.
Do you think that these large guilds' members get every resources? The answer is NO... Main resources are given to officers, leader etc to level up tier 2 etc building and crafting items to give other members. However, normal members or members with no group to play in those large guilds experience hard times too.
I am in a clan with around 100 players and it is so hard to find resources because 100 players at the same area and there are other guilds too and it becomes so hard to gather resources, and so you walk like 15- 20 minutes away areas to get clay or other resources and of course you return back all of that resources, it is pain really... And inventory size is very less too...
As always, good work man.
This is such a nonsense. everything in this world respawns so quick. i have two trees on my plot that magickly a apear every fkin minute.
I agree lol, there is stuff everywhere
@@youcrom I agree
Same, not having any problem finding everything I need.
two trees LOOOOL. BUDDY get to 20 crafting skill lvl and watch ur self suffer trying to get pure iron, high end materials etc. TREES are ur least concern
Trees lol
If I made a game like this all nodes would always be randomized and they would never pop up in the same place recurrently. Yes, they could pop up there again, but the algorithm wouldn’t allow them to be walled off and it would take an hour to come back. This way, your land could be used for farming or whatever, but metal ore and things like that couldn’t be planted in the ground and you’d actually have to venture off to find things. It would make battles more epic, and give John and Susie a meaningful journey. I think that most of the Guilds of today suck, and it would be awesome to go back to the early 2000’s. Let’s build a Time Machine. 😂
You would have to considerably lower the amount of grind if you wanted to do that though. Cant level any smithing skills unless you got a steady supply of metals
@@8SnazzY8 True.
Sounds like there needs to be a guild infiltration
Join the guild Suzy and John!!
I liked Life is Feudal, Your Own, but resented when a group tried to bully me and my buddy to join them. They were jerks with a massive castle, armor and horses and tried to bully us to be their serfs. So I am totally turned off by the whole group thing and what some folks turn into.
If you think guilds are bad, wait til you hear about clans
This is just a reality of all player-based economy, sandbox MMO RPG's with fixed or semi-fixed resource spawn locations. As was mentioned towards the end of this video, Eve Online being a particularly valid comparison, that happens in all areas of space, including what some consider "starter areas". Null Sec, Low Sec, and High Sec. All of it. Every aspect of a player-driven game is subject to min-maxed game theory as far as the player base is willing to push it. Outside of randomizing resource spawns/respawns, this is not a game mechanic problem. It is a human nature problem, and at the end of the day, a reflection of society as a whole. You can play solo, but you have to accept what that means. I know it sucks to not be able to play a game the way you want it- I get that. But any player-driven economy game is a PvP game in every aspect. Be it resource gathering, crafting/trading, or anything else, you are even pvp'ing on the market to undercut other sellers. It is what it is *shrug*
i would not compare this to eve online where you can easily prosper as a solo player (no pvp needed), if you have half a brain.
it looks more like conan exiles... where large clans can really grief the whole map by walling off essential resources, traders, and even fast-travel points. essentially choking the whole server.
@pivkemrzli2297 I definitely see the merit in that point. Of course, when Eve was in its infancy, it was plagued by much the same issues, though in a different medium, of course. Only time will tell if they are able to find a middle ground to satiate at the very least, the possibility for solo play.
NO IT IS NOT
How you act online, veiled in your anonymity, is your true self. Act accordingly. o7
I was thinking of buying the game to try it out, but luckily the price of the packages stopped me hahaha
They went and got SB fired up!
Thanks for highlighting this aspect of the game. It's what we feared. We're a small group of 3-4 players. The alpha2 was promising, but the news from the devs and reactions from the players since EA launch made all our anticipation evaporate quickly. Luckily there's soulmask atm which is the best survival game EA launch in years IMHO.
"theres a plot nearby, you cant build your plot so close" and design a system that makes walling/blocking others from their own base impossible. Theres still the problem of them walling the resources tho...
thanks for the heads up im out saving my money
Nice to see how games screw over the majority of their players base aka solo players.
It is not a game for solo players
Sounds to me like thats not the player base they were looking for to me. No shade just an observation.
@@anghlazelthewanderer3777 imagine a PVE game not meaning for solo players xdd
@@lukz7600 yeah but the way they made the game is doesnt matter how many h you farm solo, you still need a lot of mats to craft even the tiny thing. This system was designed to be played with multiple people which sucks.
@@lukz7600 so?
Awwwww shit. Here we go again.
Wanted to like this game. 100% saw this coming.
its funny that the devs and fanboys lied and said that early access has tons of features that were disabled during the alpha test. turns out its exactly the same game as a year ago. aka garbage.
@@pvprangergod4024 they wanted like the day before, easy money early + let's not forget the scammy launch. They knew from second alpha the game had tons of bugs and stability problem but still decided to release "early access" which for me is just a tech demo, not even early access.
I doubt the devs wanted this to happen. Rather, they didn't account for the fact that players and guilds are going to do this. And guess what? That's a quick way to kill the game before the devs can even patch it out. New World didn't have land claims, but it still allowed for things like this to happen, and that game never truly recover.
I was part of a mega sweat guild in New World and we killed off two entire servers. It was fun for us, but no one else.
@@SwoleBenji I played New World also, and the fact that you admit that ruining two servers was fun does not speak well for you.
@@Ben1159a It's a video game. I won the video game. Problem?
Just not being a asshole about would be a good start i think.
I played the game the way the game was meant to be played. Are opposing teams in sports assholes for winning?
Completely agree in the guild part. Man I'm so glad I dodged this.
I'm so glad I decided not to buy the game as a solo/duo player. I would be sooo frustrated in that situation.
pretty much what happened to archeage when it first launch
Looks like someone doesnt have any friends to play with
The developers must all have MBA and thought, how do we make the most money in an early access version of the game?
Weird. The game started yesterday at Noon UTC. All this happened in one day? A guild took over the whole Home Valley and smoked out everybody else. This couple moved to another Valley and same thing happened there. Damn. They are fast.
All alpha players too. :(
As usual players ruin it
maybe look to give option to label chests
lol this is just like real life.
they want guilds to play not solo players game is not made for solo
Swole I need a game to play and am pretty sick of Albion. Any suggestions?
i started albion a little less than 2 weeks ago and got bored of it really quick (like 4 days maybe). decided to quit albion and pick up ffxiv and damn is it fun. ive only been playing ffxiv for less than a week but you might enjoy it, give it a shot.
The problem isn't the player's behavior, it's the game mechanics.
Hello, have you seen Dark and Darker? It released this month, good game so far. It's like Albion, DnD, Tarkov combined. Would be thrilled when you post a Dark and Darker video!
Was good before it got pulled off Steam. Now it's back and it's worse than before.
Pretty much why I stopped. First 3 days was fine, then the mega blobs came in and made it not fun.
they can't stop you from taking the resources... but also this is not a solo game... I'm in a two person clan near a huge clan and they have been amazing
im confused ? the game does not have pvp over resources so it starts by that , meaning it doesnt matter if they have 500 people eventually why would they go mining iron if there is no point once you build your castle or house? is a dead end , is just like any other game without pvp
I asked them "Why gatekeep the resources once you have everything crafted" and their answers were to help their members power level their crafting and to starve out rival players and guilds from doing the same.
Hardcore gamer is not that kind bro😅
The game does have pvp, crafters will always need recourses to level up their crafts and any apprentices they have. You physically cannot block recourses because if you build a plot over them, they'll never respawn, so you end up screwing yourself. The idea of the game is to work together, if you cant do that its not the game for you. Build civilisations with others and then trade with others. Use your specialist craft to help people who have another main profession and vice versa
You just saved me $40 and a massive headache.
Sadly he saved you from having a very nice experience. I play this game as solo and its super fun!
@@xentox5016 The game looks like it may be fun, But Base pay and then on top of that it'll be a sub based game and if i heard correctly the more plots you have the more $$ it is. $40 for an super uber early game that is still alpha so it seems is just too steep. I'm sure they will fill it with more content but its bare-bones from what ive been seeing. Maybe i'll look into it again but that'll be later down the road. Gonna let it cook.
I play solo too and you can doing everything ... sure slowly witout other but you can enjoy this game for solo !!!
@@xentox5016 sadly you'll get to a point in the game that will be your ultimate roadblock without being in one of these guilds.
I would invest in a guild just to greif them and steal. its like double the reward
Or the developers are using this time to see how players and guilds will exploit and use the different systems to create solutions. Game just hit early access a week ago. Make this video in a year if its still the case
All of these "exploits" have already been done in other games. If devs were actual gamers they'd know the most basic of basic things and have already worked towards preventing them.
If they make..we can buy any plot using ingame currency..everything gonna be good.. But no..fast money is more important for dev😅
I see last oasis 2.0. Give it maybe a year, and the player base will plummet . That's what happens in big clan based games
so its like American capitalisms amazing
Is there a possibility to play on a private server/alone??
Nope.
The Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army is on its way. Hu hu
The stupidity of devs never ceases to amaze me. Random spawn locations are a necessity nowadays. I believe AoC is doing that, smart move.
But AoC has another big problem: Open forced griefer friendly PvP! If this doesnt change, it will fail big!
Freaking tryhard players...us peasants have to join the forces haha
... and become the guilds we hate? :^)
@@SwoleBenji Nahh bro, we wouldn't stop people from getting access, like these blokes do :(
@SwoleBenji why are you so opposed to working with people? Anti social much?
"Social" MMO
Yeah it will be Social, Socialist, "WE" own it.
This game is shaping up to be beyond DOA. Such great business decisions in game design. 🤦🏻
Why would any sane person put up with these kinds of games with Minecraft existing lmao
even minecraft alpha is 1000x better than this pay2win plot system bs.
I wanted this game but with that type of exploiting ima pass they are gonna lose a ton of sales and players ARK did the same thing and it's basically dead now
I see a lot of fanbois in here going off on the guy for stating exactly what is going on in this game. Ya'll want so bad for a game to live up to what you made it in your head that you will go after anybody that doesn't live in the same delusion as you. 😂
This happens for EVERY game. They can call the sky green all they want but it's blue and we all know it and no matter how many freakshows or media outlets call it green we know they're wrong.
Not really sure how you expect to build your own empire as a solo player? The game is pretty well designed for guilds and working together with other players. Plenty of survival games that cater to solo players.
Not everyone wants to build an empire. There are a lot of people that just want the hermit life. Doing their own thing and only interacting when they need to. This play style is also endorsed by the devs but sweatlords try to stamp out anyone that doesn't immediately join their forces.
@@aeden8008 completely false, solo players can play but they need to understand like just like in real life, if you arent willing to work with others, life is going to be much harder for you
@@aeden8008 the devs have flat out said this game is not for solo players.
@@patrick355 and @ketaminewomble2562
From Koloko, community dev, "A kingdom of one has no true king. We do want the soloing experience to be highly enjoyable, and you can play without joining a Clan. That being said, we designed Pax Dei to encourage group play, and the harshest corners of the game cannot be soloed."
It's the community that has declared the game is not for hermit type players. I did not claim 100% solo or single player.
Unfortunately I don't think The devs care at all. They already got everybody's money so they don't care if you continue to play.
I never understood why people do such things in these games. Ok so you built walls and mined the entire thing for your self, then what? What did you achieve? What did all this effort do for you? Is the game better now or worse? It's supposed to be a game and just have fun, but try hards always ruin it
Never wasting my money on this shit thanks benji
Thank you for covering pax dei. It has too many red flags and people need to be informed.
The biggest shame to me would be that 92% of MMORPG players are solo players in an MMO. When did so many players become so antisocial that they want to avoid other people and not be part of a group. Its a definite change in MMO userbases imo, in the original MMOs 25+ years ago most players were sociable and tended to be part of a group/guild/clan but in comparison many of the modern MMO players seem to want to avoid interacting with other players. Thats the shame.
As a solo player i would say that i like to compete with other players more than cooperating with them
@@minemistrz within the context of an MMO - compete in what way?
@@TombstoneUK Even just being stronger or having better gear is competition for me
@@minemistrz Could be awkward in Pax Dei then as it sounds like the gear is all crafted rather than drops , so a guild which might have 20 or 30 people bringing in resources will end up being able to make gear faster, especially with the huge amount of resources needed to even make a suit of armour. Then again as theres no open pvp what gear someone is wearing is a bit of a moot point probably
Sounds like the mega guilds are intentionally killing the game. Soon they can mine all the resources they want since no one will be playing the game anymore. What they will do with their resources when they are the only one left, who knows.
RMT it, as explained in the video.
the mega guilds will increase the positive reviews because they buy extra accounts to get even more plots. its the same situation as mortal online 2. a garbage game propped up by scammer developers and fanboys who have 0 iq points.
Susie and Jhon need to adapt and live in a community . Like the real world
Why do you want to work for some greedy sweatlord dork on Discord? Why SHOULD you? Cause he has more friends than you?
@SwoleBenji except not every guild is like that, just like how not everybody you meet in real life is looking to exploit you
who wouldve thought the scam game's game systems are not thought out at all and are just complete garbage
They gotta ban people for RMTing ASAP. Or this game will die
So the chinese farmers susan express from wow or any other games are in Pax Dei? haha. glad didn't bought this game.
Not really outer areas wil also have space. atleast i can Build easy. and find easy stuff, atleast easy enough. but i should join a guild soon to i guess. your just sour cuz you don't have a key haha
they could join the mega guild? in eve entire Null is a farce everyone is blue and wars are scripted. if litte joe corp of 1-6 people want to experience some null they can rent from or join a null sec corp.
it doesn't matter what the game devs do. nothing stops the players to ignore factions and make non aggression pacts outside of the game and divide up resources, territory and what ever. saw this in nearly every MMO or online game ever since UO.
the couple could play FF. way WAY better polish. no pvp and great story. or if for some reason the survival aspect hooks them. play any other survival game that lets you setup own pve server like ark or rust.
Yes we could demand better game design. no it is a waste of dev time. just forget it. psychopath griefers like anyone from something awful is going out of their way to make other players miserable, this will force the devs to make deaths and pvp meaningless. and the other way around zergs will make non aggression pacts and divide up resources. no matter what the devs do this will always happen. some counter play gamedesign options might slow the dev progression down ... but it seems inevitable.
like with anything. don't like it don't play it and don't give money to the company. This is simple and yes it sucks.
Or just do basic quality of life mechanics like... let players climb walls? Don't let people build roofs over resource spawns. Conan Exiles only added climbinb cause me and a large chunk of the griefer playerbase duped t2 walls and completely walled off a bunch of official servers starting zones.
yeah join the mega guild and make the problem worse, truly genius comment right here
@@SwoleBenji I'm all for counter mechanics. It is my primary source of entertainment in games. but from the info about the couple it doesn't sound like that they have this gameplay in mind. So if they want to engage with the content they will have to win-team-join or change their perspective on how to approach the game entirely.
Personally joined, lead and build griefer groups throughout many games that specifically target nolife mega corps so they don't login until some changes or reporting gets me perma banned. From it I know that lovely couples are a very rare exception to join these activities.
Yes devs should put all your suggested stuff in. for you and for me that are playing games to troll and grief this would be wonderful. I doubt that it would change anything for that specific couple.
Don't think this is ment to be much of a solo game......
I think everyone saw this coming. Game ruined by no lifer players as usual.
based megaguild exposing horrible game design. if only people would stop falling for games built on wishful thinking
This game sux man i wont give it a chance, even if it was free to play.
I want an apology from Benji for banning me from his discord and to be unbanned. It doesn’t have to be a written apology, you can just give me Chad tier instead
Sorry lad, we're just not compatible. See, the questionnaire is set up to determine if we'd mesh well over a LONG period of time. Failure to pass the questionnaire means that we'd just "tolerate" each other to the point of us being worse off once the friendship ends than if it had never begun in the first place.
Sadly you in particular never filled out the questionnaire at all and I had to manually config the bot not to auto kick you, but when you failed the formatting by going off beat the bot did ban you.
Just poor game design.
if you can even call it a design
i don't see nothing wrong here, the point of the game is to be in a guild and do same thing as you would do solo but better,nothign wrong here i was asking for a game like this that force people to play together
but why force people to be in guilds in the first place, that's just bad design.
Either be a slave to a guild or you are prevented from playing aspects of the game you paid for…. Seems like there are some legal implications to be seen here.
It's most full loot MMORPG's sadly.
I still can't believe people are paying a company to test their software, lol it boggles the mind.
Haha sounds like a fun game, screw this cash grab, so happy I didn't fall for this crap show
