  • I do agree that the latest showcase doesnt look that good when looking far away in the distance. Too blur, too little distance sight.
    Tho i think the light/terrain in near distance looks better now.
    So guess we can just take it as an alpha phase, and wait it to be fixed

    There is no reason to have quests in a build for a live stream if they don't intend to show those quests.

    To me that sounds like insane copium. "They're just hiding it in other builds". I don't have as much faith as you.

    I used to, but after the keys and after the broken promises I'm skeptical about everything.

    You just came and derail my thread.

    Because it is for testing certain systems not about you getting to play through content.

    I'm perfectly aware it's a test and not a full game. Been following the game for a long long time.

    The problem is they made the switch to UE5 3+ years ago... and in that time.. we got 1/3rd of the Riverlands? This is the Biome they most worked on, and according to the map they showed us yesterday, there's no quests in 2/3rds of the map. So the only conclusion is that in 3+ years of Development (and I'm being VERY generous with the years I'm counting here) they only cooked 1/3rd of a Biome

    You do know how many Biomes are planned, right? Cause at this rate saying the game will launch in 2040 isn't a meme anymore, it's a reality.

    The first time they showed the desert, they claimed it's incredibly easy to build Biomes because they have their own tool. Yet, somehow in 2024 we're going to start Alpha with ONE THIRD of a Biome having content.

    What else did we get in all these years? Only a few races, 1/10th of the systems, not all classes, 0 augments/2nd classes, only a few weapons have skills trees, etc. Not much.

    What have they been doing all these years? There are many things that don't add up here.

    They also have been stating (for years now) that they have 100k+ testers... but for some reason they started selling keys because "they need more testers"? I'm sorry what? 100k isn't enough? Huh? Anyone with 2 braincells sees a contradiction. And with the general public already being extremely skeptical, you want to REASSURE the community, not confuse us and raise 20 unanswered questions.

    the purple quest givers are like main or major quests not all the quests , most of the quests npcs wont have quest icons , some will be short some will be multiple chain long quests ..etc + the board quests and quess from npcs that pop up from certain events ..etc

    My guess is Steven is holding more cards to his chest then we think here. Here is what I'm thinking. We only need to test one biom and no more then a few nodes. Once we a ran them through most of the possible outcomes. They just need to apply that to the rest of the game. Steven has been very careful to not share all of the lore. We have very little of the story.

    IMO we will get jigsaw bits of content. No more then we need for IS to test what's needed and hide away the rest of what we don't need to see till launch. That's my guess.

    I'm a little confused as to how there's so little content available for A2.

    Because the " Content " must first LITERALLY made/hammered into Existence and we are just People that help with the testing. :mrgreen:
