    Delighted you got in early m8. I bet it was hard to hold your tongue sometimes. The footage looks amazing, can't wait to see it for myself. One question at 2:28 there was a white line across the road was that home valley / wilderness boundary or was it a province / province boundary?

    • @eltarii
      @eltarii  Рік тому

      That is what we call a map stitching error where the elevation of one map was offset to the other chunk. Haha
      The only boundaries that you might notice is when my UI disappears that is because of a server transfer. ALMOST seemlessly done! @5:02 is a good example of that!

    Another great video, so hyped for the crafting, it looks amazing.
    As excited as I am, there’s still a long way to go. Combat being the first priority. But to be a true MMO there are countless other important aspects that still need to be addressed (the lack of classes, and abilities tied to gear really worries me).
    Regardless, I’m excited to see what they have in store for the future. Keep up the great videos man, you’re killing it 🙌🏼

    The Dark Souls esque take to story telling, revealing the worlds lore through object discovery as you move through it makes it feel like a real living world and rewards you for looking into its secrets, doing that with friends or hopefully future clan mates is the thing I'm most looking forward to, I love the idea of a Hobbit like Indiana Jones clan dedicated to discovering Pax Dei secrets even opening a College or something for people interested in that sort of thing.

    I am most looking forwards to the cherished memories I can make. There's always something very special and precious about being apart of something during the start, or early stages. No matter how the game changes and develops overtime, we will be there to walk alongside it as it grows and evolves. The community that has sprung up around this game is beautiful. Seeing players get excited about lore, seeing players create their own original characters with backstory to roleplay, seeing the stunning player creations, being able to feel the passion of the devs. This is something truly awesome. I hope you all get into the alpha, and have a fan-flipping-tastic time.

    @DustinHarms Рік тому

    TOTALLY agree with the crafting take. If this is a long-form social game, items simply cannot come easy/fast. They need to be impactful, and that means time/effort is needed. Yes, different people have different amounts of time - but that shouldn't change the balance of these things. It just means it's even more of a break when a player with limited time can get those items (or, they make friends with someone who does have more time).

    So it took you 18 hours to make a piece of armor. Would you be able to give a summary on where this time was spent and how actively you had to be involved in this process? For example: was it 6 hours gathering, 6 hours refining, 6 hours crafting with automatic timers you could walk away from for 6 hours at a time?

    And, oh my god, these hitboxes you see at 11:25. Between the attacking wolf and the player is a distance like 5 metres or so, but you still are being hit??? Please, Eltari, tell me that the hitboxes are gonna be adjusted in a way where a strike really has to be visually connected to the rag doll to count, and please tell me that Mainframe for sure plans to integrate a decent action combat with active shield blocking and dynamic dodging. Kind of like an actual action game, but of course a bit simpler. New World's combat from the very first Alpha around 2020 was amazing.
