drahkon Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 @Rummy We finally have a - possible - release date. : peace: :p Starbound beta release is looking to be around dec 4th. Assuming arrangements go through with steam. Tiy's Twitter
Rummy Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 Daaaaamn. I did read the recent post about the beta, and that is gooood! Might have to try and find some time for it, but it's likely I'll be busy over the xmas period -.-
Rummy Posted December 2, 2013 Author Posted December 2, 2013 Apparently the beta will support multiplayer, will anyone be up for it via any means(maybe the thing Happenstance and that was using before) - I wouldn't be hosting whilst not there because a.) im missing all the fun! b.) im very much not there/here very often atm, as I've taken to working on weekends if I can get it(and it seems I can).
Rummy Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 6PM TODAY GUYS, CHECK YO' MAILZ Sadly I'ma be finishing of breaking bad....I'll be up for some of this next few eves/weekend though!
drahkon Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Love this game already. Crashes a lot, but it's fun as hell.
Rummy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Yeah, I've had a few crashes, not played as much as I've wanted and I had to look up how to craft new stuff(it isn't like Terraria, you have to interact specifically with advanced crafting stations it seems!) and I couldn't get any of the meat for the initial quest for a while(got like 7 leathers instead, wondered if it was bugging, lol) but I can see myself once I get a bit more used to it and fluid really enjoying it. Bit gutted I'm gonna be busy most of the weekend so won't get to plow too much time into it. What you generally been getting upto so far @drahkon?
drahkon Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) What you generally been getting upto so far @drahkon? Nothing much now that I've been destroyed by a UFO that was piloted by a penguin. I'm serious... It beams penguins that attack you to the surface, it shoots plasma bolts, and it deliberately crashes into your house/into the ground destroying everything. All this, just because I did a quest (build a distress beacon, which I then used, of course). Had to delete my character, because the new patch screwed shit up a bit. Nothing to get angry about, though, as I wasn't very far into the game. What I didn't know when I started my first character: You have a starter chest in your ship that contains useful stuff (flashlight, a weapon...). That will definitely help Edit: Next patch (probably coming on monday) will change a lot. With a character wipe. So I won't be playing over the weekend. Edited December 7, 2013 by drahkon

Ahhh, I haven't managed to make it that far but I recall that being what was shown in the video from that con they went to. Sounds like you had exactly the same experience as the guys in that :p I'll give it a bit of time today, good to know about the character wipe though; I won't get too attached!
drahkon Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Only lecture I would've had today got cancelled, but it doesn't seem the patch will be coming out today Anyway...I'll just leave this here: GOTY Edited December 9, 2013 by drahkon
Rummy Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 I've been avoiding playing waiting for this big balance update and wipe - but am I right to think it still hasn't happened yet @drahkon? Front page of main site still seems to suggest that it's incoming and not yet arrived... Slightly related to your post(which is awesome) - I am loving some of the soundtrack on this game!
drahkon Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I've been avoiding playing waiting for this big balance update and wipe - but am I right to think it still hasn't happened yet Steam is downloading an (possibly the) update just now. Don't get too excited, though. There WILL probably have to be another character wipe for the weapons damage fix. Massive apologies! Starbound Twitter Soooo, don't know whether I should start again now, or wait
Rummy Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 I didn't do too much so far, so Ima take another run at it this evening methinks. I think just finding the ores first off is a bit tedious on a reset, be nice if they could implement something to account more for that progress loss.
drahkon Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Have been playing a bit today. It's already amazing. Combat feels a bit...odd. Hopefully that will change soon. But almost everything else is great. Exploration at its best! : peace: My first Tech! It let's me jump again in mid-air Diamond!!!!! Yes! 9 hours of playtime so far. Not bad for a 15$ game that has just launched the beta.
drahkon Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Started a new character, 'cause the game has been patched 2 days ago (there was no wipe, but I still wanted so start from scratch). I hope the devs will add a pickaxe to the starter items. It's so tedious to get resources with the matter manipulator. Doesn't take thaaaat long to get a pickaxe yourself, but depending on your first planet you might have bad luck and it takes 5 minutes. Anyway, love this game. 17 hours Just defeated the first boss with my new character. Now onwards to the Beta sector!
drahkon Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Triple post. No love for the game? Aren't there a lot of people who enjoyed Terraria? Starbound is miles better, and it's still early in beta. 24 hours in, defeated the second boss, built a little house and now I'm off exploring planets/gathering resources.
Rummy Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Ahhhh! I'm meaning to get back to this - but I bought SRIV and that took up some time(still much more to go too), and then I got Rogue Legacy in the sale the other day which is surprisingly hooking me now! I've sorta been saying to myself that this can wait and I'll get to it when I'm done with the others/potentially have a lot more time on my hands of sorts. Especially being Beta with possible wipes/new content etc, will help reduce redundancy on my part. I do get a pang for it every time you pop up playing it in the corner though :p
Happenstance Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Looks like the next planned update is going to make characters backwards compatible so no more wipes. I expect once that comes out I'll start playing again.
