And basicaly, everybody spawn on an island, if this island is tiny, this could take a long time to train boat building with dandelions ( if you dont spawn in a pine biome).
And I dont talk about wood, if there was previous spawns in your isle, there could be no more trees ...

Loftar said he is hoping to eliminate the spawn on a tiny island problem... he is aware that spawning on too small an island would be limiting. You can swim across rivers with full stamina and 10 constitution though, the swimming mechanic is a lot more forgiving than legacy's.

Couldn't you destroy your own hearthfire and just random spawn on new islands untill you get one nearer your friends and with more resources on it.

Also I'm sure they would of added more shallow areas ...

Edit: Oh right yes I think the whole update is great. Could be a slightly bigger level cap gap between free verified and sub but I think the percentages are pretty much perfect. But I guess only time will tell:) good job! Bring on world 9

Map Generator
Sounds like a good improvement

Metals
Good changes here.

Quality Nodes
I prefer single quality of the old Haven, but more balanced tri-quality sounds better than the previous iteration of it.

Fate Forage
Hope going out foraging is actually rewarding now.

Localized Resources
Interesting, sounds like a good idea.

Siege & PvP
Sounds promising, but will need to see how it works in practice.

Payment Model & Level Caps
Awesome choice on the new payment model! 330 compared to 300 between accounts and a faster leveling rate is just enough for the dedicated players to subscribe and for free/verified players not to feel kicked in the nuts. Excellent choice, honestly.
I'm pro stat cap as well, 330 sounds like a nice limit.

Miscellanea
Love the new inventory size!

Astarisk and a lot of others wrote:I don't think it incentive's enough to sub


Good! That hopefully means we're not standing in the way of the game.

It's much easier for us to increase the incentives to sub later on, than to go in the other direction and reduce them. If we find that this model doesn't better approximate the optimal solution then we can easily add more incentives to sub, but I'd rather start out with something that is comparatively mild, and try to go from there. That was always the intention, tbt, but with the subscription time we miscalculated badly on what the incentives actually were. I hope this is better.

If given the simple choice I'd much rather make one dollar each from a thousand people, than ten from a hundred.

How now understand where you are on the map? I wanted to go to the border of the map, but now I didn't know which border is closer to me.
