Thread 1827869

I've got two characters in different scenarios. If not for the progression wipes I would love this game a lot more. The combat is surprisingly satisfying, the building system is pretty interesting, and there never seems to be a shortage of things to do.

I tried to play it again recently and it just didn't stick, idk how I put like 150hrs into this game at launch. Probably building my base or whatever. Idk it was just super boring and unexciting when I returned, enemies were still as weird and laggy as they always were. The whole scenario shit is way too convoluted too, since they don't do a good job at explaining what they actually involve. Also the cosmetics are hideous, I don't dislike cosmetics but the ones in this game are god awful and obnoxious, and way too much blatantly ugly clothing that looks like it was made ugly on purpose.

>I played hundreds of hours starting at launch and playing nonstop
I got sick of the game after seeing the same pattern again and again out of starry studios

>Game released
>Cosmetic loot crates launched
>Weapon balancing non existent. Jaws perm stuns you and Bingo 2 hits everyone without all hp mods
>Cosmetic loot crates launched
>Devs release new scenario because Evolutions Call is shit
>Prismverse is clearly the best scenario but absurdly buggy and broken
>Cosmetic loot crates launched
>Weapon balance patch announced
>Jaws perm stun cooldown fixed, Bingo untouched

I take a break from the game

>Join server, is completely dead day 1
>Bingo is the only meta usable option STILL. Anything else is handicapping yourself so much its unplayable.
>Cosmetic loot crates launched

You can still build bases underwater, bingo and savior set are still the only options for a build, devs continue to release new scenarios instead of polishing the core game and earlier scenarios, etc
I really want to like the game, but i dont want to play another scenario of everyone 1 hitting everyone with bingo

Stop playing exclusively PvP servers then. Forming teams in PvE and assaulting POIs and doing dungeon raids and shit is what makes the game fun. PvP is always fucking shit.

I have about 350 hours in OH. I'm currently playing WoW with my sister, and we're having a blast. I just found a pollution zone with oil, so I don't have to worry about making a thermal tower. I just can't settle on what I want my base to look like

The devs fucked it up again.

>>1827869 (OP)
I enjoyed my first time playing, discovering stuff and trading unique items with players based on those limited perks you get. The scenario I tried a month or so after felt fairly unfinished compared to the first, with a bunch of locations being spread out it didn't feel interesting. That plus most enemies still died easily to melee which felt boring.

Another thing that was annoying similar to what >>1833744 said is a few weapons being overpowered when I usually preferred how more of the epic tier weapons handled.

>>1859398
Gotta be honest, I've taken my first character over to the Way of Winter scenario now and I just end up using the highest tier I can afford of whatever weapons I've unlocked. I have had little trouble in terms of weapon power, except when enemy level exceeds 50, which to me is bullshit because player level can't surpass 50. I get that they're trying to encourage grouping up with other players, but I'm also somewhat asocial and hardly encounter other players on my servers, so it's almost a moot point.

Why isn't there more porn of her she's literally perfect.

>>1860725
Good question.

>>1838705
This. PVP is complete garbage and kills anyone giving a shit in the servers where it's a thing. Especially because it's so unoptomized and poorly tested.

>>1860725
>>1861720
Too obscure.

>>1852220
How so?

>>1827869 (OP)
Yup, currently trying to build a decent house. The game runs fine on a shitty graphics card, so I'm thankful at least for that.
As for the resets, the first one bothered me a bit, but then I realized that very few progress is reset, and it gives a chance to farm BP parts again, so it's okay

>>1828268
Are you me? Dropped a few hundred hours into the first scenario myself. Enjoyed it for quite a bit then but as soon as the game got put on the back burner and trying to pick it up recently with a few friends it didn't have the same luster as when starting out.

>>1838705
>>1866616
Ive already got basically a full build? I steam roll any of the pve content because pve is made for leveling and getting your gear. Whats the point of getting better gear if you dont intend to use it? Im already basically at full build, (Not minmaxed) and can kill most anyone if they dont turn on me with bingo ready. I genuinely dont understand the ideology of pve niggers.

>470 hours played
The ONLY good scenario is prismverse, and prismverse is unplayably buggy, and has been since it launched. Literally 1 player or 1 group in your server can exploit bugs and ruin the game for EVERYONE in your server. Im not hyperbolizing.
*To be fair i didnt give Raidzone a fair chance, idk if thats any good*
Picrel Asmongold got paid to do a once human stream when prismverse launched, his zerg followed him to one faction, and got 3/4ths of the server to quit week one, and they left immediately after because asmongold doesnt continue playing after being paid

It's just a shitty game. It could have been really good but idk, it's just not. I don't know why they decided against filling in the original map in favor of making new equally shitty ones. The original map was pretty solid, it just needed to be fleshed out more. I swear asians are the absolute worst about utterly changing their design philosophy as soon as the game actually launches. All of the character and aesthetics from the original trailers is completely gone and they continue to veer off that path.

It's literally the same map but we get different chunks of it to play in for each scenario. Eternal Dream lets you play in literally all the previously unlocked portions of Nalcott (Manibus, Prismverse, WoW) all together. I also don't have any clue what you mean by "decided against filling in the original map" - Manibus alone is not only larger than the total maps of most other games combined but it's filled with all sorts of random shit or events you can do. You can waste 100s of hours in it alone and it is the SMALLEST of the scenarios. This post and this complaint are retarded.

>>1902756
>500 hours
>Played all scenarios
Yes Prismverse is by far the best scenario and the way the game was intended to be played on launch before china released that law that restricted pvp video games.
How many scenarios of Prismverse have you played? It is BY FAR the best scenario and clearly the way Once Human was intended to be played.
>Picrel the reason Evolutions Call got reworked on launch

>>1902760
Damn gamers really are desperate for scraps lmfao

>>1827869 (OP)
I played it back then during the first scenario. Kinda felt like I've experienced everything the game had to offer and thought it wasn't worth continuing. Decided to see how the game is doing this week and it looks like things aren't so great. Especially on the steam forums where it's just complaints after complaints.

Just finished the Eternal Dream with the whole server gathering every evening to stomp the dreamers. Not sure if jumping into another scenario is worth it after that.

>>1906772
I wish someone would upload the Scenario endings somewhere.

>>1827869 (OP)
The building is easily the best part imo, I liked it in Fo76, but OH's is just a straight upgrade.

>>1924113
Inorite?
In game I've built a contemporary modern cantilevered house, a victorian house, a castle, a couple of teaditional japanese houses, and a battletruck with onboard furnace, workbench, storage, turrets, and bed.

same shit x100

beautiful game

qrd?
i was thinking about starting this game and went looking for threads

runs well on my potato so it gets a pass from me

I hate how text in this game is generated by chatgpt.

Guess we need to stop reading Edgar Allen Poe and William Hope Hodgson.

>>1946214
The timegating is one of the best parts of the game, it makes it feel very unique. I think Warborne is stealing this idea as well.

No other mmo allows you to quit playing for a month, come back and instead of making a new character, use the same one to start in a new server. Ignore everyone who says scenarios are shit.

>The game has many problems though
>>1833744
Weapons have not been balanced since launch. A few ability types (Bounce, frost) have gotten reworks, but Bingo has been the supreme ruler since launch and has never been balanced
>2
Starry Studios does not fix problems, they focus on creating new content to overwrite the fucked up previous problems. Because of this, there is one good scenario: Prismverse Clash (And its EXTREMELY buggy, with experience you by yourself can ruin the game for your entire server). You cannot really play this scenario until you have a solid build, as you wont be able to do anything without one. Getting a good build takes at least 2 bigger scenarios worth of time to get what you want, which is over 2 months. I have never played Manibus, but Novice Manibus is most likely the best starting scenario to play, then you should move into Way of Winter to get anything from Northern Nalcott you need for your build, then you'll most likely be ready for Prismverse.

Just started playing again on ED (I quit after phase 1 on WoW cause release WoW was shit), it's ok. Getting struck by lighting or fucking airstriked is a bit annoying though. Going to actually give some money this time I guess because I want to house build. Does anyone have a map that shows the oil locations for the WoW portion of the map?

>>1946214
Every couple months, the scenario you're on shuts down. Some stuff carries over via "Eternaland" which is like a personal player building island where you can store stuff...items, deviations, weapons, armor, etc, but all the progression you have unlocked you have to do all over again in the next scenario you switch to. The problem is that you have a limited number of "points" you can use to bring stuff over to your new scenario, and those points do not go far. Some resources such as certain plastics, certain scrap metal, and certain crystals are harder to find until mid to end game and not being able to bring those over feels like farming those resources is a waste, and it can make things like getting your base up and running or getting good gear quickly in a new scenario a pain in the fucking ass.
Typically the stuff i choose to bring to a new scenario is a few favorite deviations for resource gathering and a couple of drills and chainsaws to make resource gathering a little quicker.

>every scenario (except Prismverse and WoW), Manibus ends up being the big bad
>is gradually powercrept more and more, going from "just a world-destroying monster" to "can end all existence by smothering it to death with dreams and can generate supermassive blackholes" with each new scenario
>best the Mayflies can ever do is temporarily drive it away
It's really funny to me how they keep finding new and increasingly silly ways for Manibus to overstage every other villain and threat in the game.

Do you have to clear the Deep Dreamer in order to build in that area? Shit sucks

>>1827869 (OP)
No
