So my tribe rolled out in force 2 days ago

[Vicid]

And we still can't play. Are you going to activate the game or get on a plane and move to Brazil?

[darkbladed]

then your tribe is impatient.
OH NOES ALL TEH GAME FEATURES ARE NOT ACTIVE BEFORE LAUNCH DAY OMGWTFBBQ
I mean seriously lets stop cluttering up the board with this; if your clan can't wait until at least launch then they are probably too impatient for a slow moving game like this anyway.

WATCH OUT YOU MIGHT GET BANNED OFF THE FORUMS FOR THIS THREAD.

Lol. We rolled out in force 2 days ago because that's when the devs told us to roll out in force. The rest of your comments are too incoherently stupid to merit a response. You've got idiot fanboy disease.

I don't think anyone is expecting ALL the features to be functioning at this point. A couple of features or even one maybe...at least something more than the seeming stagnation of progress since opening for placement of totems. In lieu of any 'progress' a bit more detail in the way the search for the problem is going would suffice to placate the vast majority of the players. In any field of endeavor a 'lack of progress' without any stated strategy for correction or improvement is unacceptable to most...be they customers, superiors, underlings, whatever.

In the absence of steady progress a simple specific statement from the devs of the direction of their efforts would go a long way toward chilling everyone out and maintaining all of our support. A fuzzy "we are looking for the cause of lag" leads to nothing but frustration for many (myself included). Kudos to those faithful enough to sit patiently and wait with no improvement or info...seriously. Just accept the fact that such a nebulous situation does not sit well with the rest of us...here or anywhere else for that matter.

For those of you so quick to flame community members for voicing their frustration with what is obviously a very flawed situation, how about showing them the same patience and courtesy you're willing to bestow on the devs?

[darkbladed]

Well Id rather lag not be in the 800s while I am trying to play; thats just me.
Noone said "roll out in force at X day and Y time" they said "We expect to open up the game at X day and Y time"; expect being the operative word.

I understand you are frustrated and I'm not trying to flame you, I am just sick of the board being filled with doom and gloom, I wanna play now and can't and am frustrated but I am not QQing about things.

[Sirius]

Uhm, actually they opened up totem placement and put in new restrictions requiring tribes to get large numbers of players tagged on very short notice just in order to form a tribe. That is telling the playerbase to roll out in force on the necessary day, and that is exactly what everyone did. So you couldn't possibly be more wrong.

A chief symptom of fanboy disease is thinking that the devs somehow won't be able to get any work done if you don't police the forums and tirelessly crap on any thread registering a complaint or criticism or making a suggestion. That's really not how it works. You're not saving anyone from anything, just airing your opinion about other players, which isn't really relevant to anything.

Anyway, lag is in the 800s regardless. The question is, is there anything to do that makes it worth logging in to deal with the lag?

[darkbladed]

By roll out in force you mean have the tribe leaders/inviters show up on thursday and hang out while people filter in and out joining the tribe and then just the tribe leader needing to log in on friday to place the totem; then yeah "roll out in force".

You were giving 24 hours to form up your tribe and then 1 and only 1 player had to be on to totem.

and I think you are showing symptoms of "Hateritis" by feeling the need to hop on the forum and whine for hours on end that a game that hasn't even launch yet has features locked while the devs work on lag and bugs.

No one likes that we have to wait
Those that are mature enough to have developed patience can wait without posting about how waiting makes them cry on the inside

[Sirius]

Another symptom of fanboy disease is labeling predictable criticisms and suggestions by players as "whining for hours on end". Further, fanboys tend to lose their temper after carefully reading every single complaint thread and they start to lump all the posters together in their head until, before long, they are lashing out at anyone who posts anything critical, regardless of how reasonable or timely it is.

[darkbladed]

lol it seems as you are just a troll Sirius and I am just gunna leave you to stew.
Have fun in game, or not, that's your own choice.

[Zerlargal]

And we still can't play. Are you going to activate the game or get on a plane and move to Brazil?

Brazil is looking good right now, at least I can cut down a tree, pick up a rock, run my fingers through the sand , throw some in your eyes, smack you over the head with the rock, impale you with a branch, decapitate you with my combat blade, bury you in a hole and build a house on your corpse so I sleep soundly at night because I know where my enemies are... :-P

Just kidding... PvP anyone?

[Dubanka]

oh cmon. this is the best damn game of sim fish forage and Jump EVAH.

I mean seriously. I really don't know what more you can want.

can you fish. Yes. Check.
can you forage. Yes. Check.
can you jump. yes. check.

I don't care if they ever turn on the other features, i'm having so much fun right now.

[millsdo]

Guys, take a few minutes and remember this is a game. Think about the folks in Japan for a while and feel lucky you are able to even have the promise of playing the game.

[billpaustin]

IT's gone WAY beyond that. Fishing, foraging, and jumping are all ok, sure. But this game has SWIMMING! That's right ... swimming!!

AND ... wait for it ....



running. Yes, you can level running and swimming too, as well as fishing, jumping, and foraging. I wonder why you are just telling 3/5 of the whole story?

OH SNAP!

I completely forgot about running.

Anyone tried out sky diving yet? find nice big cliff and jump. trying to gauge the height you can jump from and still live, not exactly an exact science yet.

[Saorlan]

Is there any moderation on this board at all? Seriously mods you might be new boys but wake up !

[Bisjul]

What I find irritating is, so many of us are just doing what the Devs are asking of us -

And so many of us are being led around by our ears.

If totem placement is working as intended, then all the blocking of the other skills is a moot point --

Once they decide to drop the flood gate, all hell will break loose.

But if they push the release back another two weeks... Well, they probably are going to lose more than just users.

[xenoclix]

Its like a game of poker. You have to sometimes go all in, even if you might not have the best cards. But risk does pay off many times - as if you delay you might not get the chips you wanted and could of gotten, but if you go ahead you can get a nice jackpot.

I say all in, lay down those cards!

I think all of us are in at $40...

Whatever - Wait and see.

That is flawed logic it is like saying if I have peanut butter I can make a sandwich; so I am going to have a ham sandwich. Sure the sandwich is "working" but the "ham" is still not.

The Devs (2 guys!) have a lot of stuff on thier plates, give them a break, let them work.
What MMO do you know of that has put so much time into making sure they don't release something half assed. They are trying to fix things.

i'm really like crying a river on the 2 guys bit...a) it's not 2 guys, check the dev info section b) regardless if its 2 or 20, it's their business model, their problem. Obviously they have EXACTLY the amount of people they think they need to get the job done.

Problem is, the model appears to have some problems.

We, as the community, have made an investment in a product, where the owner and producer of that product, has not yet delivered on the scope of work.
We purchased the product understanding that it was incomplete, and lacked many of the higher tier features.
However we purchased the product with the expectation of a certain level of minimum features, and a certain timeline for those feautures being accessible.
We purchased the product with the expectation of accessing these features early.
So far, as the consumer and end user of the 'product', I can't say i'm horribly satisified.

$40 isn't gongt o kill me, and i'd just as soon see it go to a upstart indie dev...however I would really really really love for this game to be a success. There needs to be a breakout game so we, as gamers, arent stuck with merely the choice between the umpteenth WoW clone, or the ubergrind korean grindfest. Another indie dev with a phenomenal vision, another craptacular launch, another abandoned playerbase...Fanboys a mortgage wont pay.

and yes, my thoughts and prayers are with those struggling to piece shit back together in japan.

My wallet and my idle mind is on trying to kill a sunday afternoon without working in the yard.

Fix the game. Make it Run. For all our sakes. :/

[Deksam]

Everyone needs to chill out. I paid good money for this lag and inability to access features and I'm tired of all you *whiners* ruining it for me. Let me enjoy the money I spent to not play the game in peace, ya?
