The new version has been released, and it is bringing friends.
Upon login, I quickly realized I was:
-unable to make the monolith my home
-unable to edit the land around it
-spawning in some seemingly random, deep-sea location (without dive gear)
-noticing two players with the same name (Titan Auriel)
-experiencing a game crash every couple of minutes
-being given a waypoint to a "friend" (Obessa)
All of this culminated into a nearly unplayable experience, which makes me a sad Spiff.
Although, I'm liking some of the newly tweaked graphics, and I really like that the enemies have a bit of fortitude now.
Guess I'll just hafta wait while this new version finds its groove.
If anyone notices any more new bugs, please feel free to include them in this report.
All of these you'll be able to quickly recognize for yourself.
The game crashing seemed totally unrelated to anything. Neither my actions, nor my position in the world map, were really relevant at the time of the crashes.
the players with the same
the players with the same name is very likely just a result of new players from e3. eskil goes to e3, chats some people up, they come join love. more people join love, more people need names. becomes more people than eskil has names generated for, duplicates appear.
perhaps love needs some sort of name... generator? take some syllables, mark which ones make sense grammatically after each other, write a quick script to randomly combine them into a name for each new player. blacklist any combinations already used until the account is let expire. no duplicates this way.
The problem is these names
The problem is these names arn't exactly made up, so a generator wouldnt exactly make sense.
