Haven & Hearth 2/Hafen appreciation thread

[Redkat]

I love that it really feels like the old haven. And the boats are fucking awesome. Looking forward to exploring mining and metal crafting. Bring back the old music though Jorb

A lot of it is in already. Any particular piece you're missing?

BITE YOUR TONGUE..


Besides that. I love the amount of plants and stuff. X fingers for new harvesting possibilities, not that far yet. But I got to ride a horse. yay. The lore pieces too - even those that baffle me. Good job both of you. I especially love the how you constantly lag my swedish friend in game. He swears it must be something deliberately done for swedes.

The fishing music also makes great hunting music in my opinions. Nothing like beating a badger/boar to death with your fist with the delightful sounds of classic fishing music on loop.

Dear god I've lost my mind...

I'm really happy with the direction Haven is going. The route of monetization is overall very positive for the game and its development, we just have to get through this bump right now.

Now Haven & Hearth can be taken in a new direction where more frequent updates, maybe someday it can leave Alpha

Cave music was my personal favorite.

At first, I was fuming. I was like "Man, waited all this time, hyped it up to all my friends, we all finally get settled in to record and play" ... "Oh, we only have limited time unless we pay?" "Oh, we can't find eachother without using a giant map?" and that really killed it for us, but I was watching the forums closely for any updates.

Immediately we were all relieved by the party arrows (we ended up finding each other with the map anyway 'cause we were too damn excited not to play) and then throwing on 7 hours free renewed weekly rather than 12 monthly made it for us. I think it's just the right amount for people to get into the game and realize they want to play seriously, but just enough that casual players can enjoy some time. And it shows that they're willing to listen to the community.

So I appreciate that, guys. Thank you. You've all done a splendid job and so far it's living up to the expectations I had. Which is not something a lot of things do. I was terribly afraid this was going to be a failure and be one of those things that I'm hyped about only to be disappointed. Initially for the reasons above, I was. But after the smoke has cleared, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I always thought the monetization was an after-thought, and therefore wasn't thoroughly thought out for F2P numbers. I'm glad they got changed so early on. Anyone who doesn't believe the F2P/Verified time limits are reasonable are being unreasonable. There still could be some tweaks in my mind but nothing too urgent.

Anyone who believed that Haven has turned into a cash grab is poorly poorly mistaken

Awesome, bro. Glad to hear it. Thanks.

This thread was sorely needed

The game is amazing and every system seems really well thought out I think. I just died and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so well done!

Also, its great to be getting updates, things won't get stale

While old haven had a great interesting and.. oddly swedish toned artstyle (Swede here, and I did feel "at home" with old haven i guess?)
New haven has a great and most of all unique 3d art style,which I definitly appreciate, a lot. It's also alot more interesting to "explore" as the enviroments are more interesting and just picking berries is a lot more of.. it feels much better as there's so many more things now. Love it so far.

I don't know why but I love that song, seriously.

Also great job guys on the game, it really rocks. Appart from the fact that it's 1000 times harder to meet with friends but I understand why you did it.

Finally, don't mind the haters on the shop situation, you guys have the right to earn money from this masterpiece. I think this is the best MMO out there, including the big AAA games.
