world is way too fucking big

Postby wonder-ass » Fri Aug 19, 2022 1:06 pm

I boated for 4 hours through multiple continents and didn't see a single person out of the 918 that are online. I could kill someone and know 100% that nobody will find my scent because its in buttfuck nowhere.
at least if the world was smaller other fighters would come across my scents and actually do something with it. in w12 you could always escape to the outer continents if u wanted single player, now were all forced in to single player.
see homo sexuality trending,. do not do that.

agreed entirely with the sentiment, the current landmass that occupies 75% of the fuckin' world is gross as a concept. player interactions are at an all time low for me this world

At the very beginning of the world when there were 1.5k+ characters online my group we had100-120ish characters on to scout for a base location. Over the course of nearly an hour all of us combined saw exactly *6 other people. That's effectively 1 player interaction per 16 hours played during ideal conditions. I think we got a little bit unlucky, but that's still atrocious for an MMO, TBH.


World 12's spawning felt great. I don't really understand why it was changed.

I feel lonely as well, besides our group and a few hermits which we found (5-6 total), our area is empty.

I enjoy mmo games, meeting other people etc. For me the world is too big in general.

I would love to meet people, even those who want to just ko me every time they see me.

Even half of current world size for 1k online player base is way way too much.

Just my opinion.

lunatic takes as usual from haven players

I can't do anything without bumping into some claim or other player

there's a reason why starting in a cave is almost meta game, nobody wants to see nobody, get off my lawn, cant wait for these 3 months pass by

you start in cave to not lose your items, not to don't see other people

My experience so far has included a lot of random player interactions. Lots of players in my area.

I had to go for a couple swims to find an area not saturated with encampments. Everyone I found seemed friendly though, and no immense power-players that I saw.
As it is, I'm kind of in a hilly area that most people wouldn't consider as a base of operations, I kinda wanted to fiddle with the new terraforming stuff added at the end of last world.

Bob Dole feels this too, he has man friends to make, but he can't find them.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

There are enough player groups that social interaction is fine. Guess not enough targets for the player hunter groups though.
