Once Human - Open Beta right now, very good Open World MMO/RPG crafting survival game.

Thought I'd give it a go tonight. Every server says Low, yet clicking on them tells me it's overcrowded. Simply can't get into a server to see what the game is like. So from this first impression I'm going with it's ****!
 
The LOW refers to the number of players currently in-game but they cap the number of players who can roll a character on a server.

They wrote about it here...

the most interesting bit, for me, being
3) In our August update, we will add an invitation code feature so that you can invite players to join your server even when the server is already full.
 
I've been of work for a week and played the **** out of this now.

Not played this hardcore since eq2 15 years ago.. lol

I've absolutely screwed my character by dabbling in everything spec wise and gear wise so can't do an OP final build.

The crafting and base builds are brilliant IMO. There's a ton of annoying bugs and glitches. But still.
The gun play is floaty and janky PvP is as bad as APB (remember that?) lol

I'm still not sure I'll play after a 6 week recipe.... It's possible.
This is a major grind game, rewards the grind for the
 
Enjoying the game but wasn't quiet sure how the blueprints worked and after a bit of searching found this that I think explained it quiet well and thought I drop it here incase anyone else having the same trouble I had with it.

 
Small patch went out today but they've released the full notes for Thursdays big update. Four hour downtime as well.

This is great and was asked for a lot from what I saw.

looks cringe and dated, wanna be fart night?

Remember when online games used to have other genres too..


also no doubt MMO is a massive stretch of the truth, MMO these days seem to mean less than a few hundred people in the same world.

Just a heads up, as I've not seen this reported anywhere... if you take a break from the game for 7 days, you lose your house/territory.

My mate's territory was joined to mine and shared a river for hydro-power.

He took 10 day holiday and his house vanished after 7 days inactivity and someone else moved into the spot.

He got home today and saw this on logon...

Be careful when you log into the game, it has all been reset and ask you to do calibration, pick the server (so hope you remember which one you were at) and then all your graphics settings have been reset too.. and also, things that you picking up now and have before, is showing as new in the backpack. Not quiet sure why they did it that way but.. thought I post here so you aware of it, for those of you that playing the game !

I actually thought my character had been deleted at first when I logged in last night !

Quit and reopen the game. Has fixed it twice now when that's happened to me.
 
Has anyone else purified starchrom with other hive members present?

The "output preview" says all Hive members can claim the rewards but tried with a hive member helping out and only I could claim the starchrom!

That's after last week's bug where I purified 40 by myself and got no rewards at the end at all :(

If you do it in a group the enemies scale with player numbers. And you can only collect 40 per week grouped, solo or a mix. It seems really buggy (along with turrets) and it can drop the loot inside/under the refinery thing; I've had to move it in order to loot before.

My base got screwed over a bit during Thursdays big patch. The servers were clearly restarted and it reset all the ore node locations etc. I went from having a ton of alu and tungsten to sod all. And I've given up on the mining platforms, had two of them with lev3 tung and now can only find 1. And the resource detector is a scam, absolutely useless. And I have an orange tree growing through the ground floor foundations.

You probably already done it but if not, I heard you can refund your Memetic points so if you disliked the resource detector you can get your skill points back but not the 'money' (not in the game and can't recall what it is called).
