Diddums

I'm off to Crete for a week tomoz, will hop on when I get back.

What a fuckin dumbass. I've spent the last few nights sucking at ship battles, and wondering why I couldn't upgrade anything on my Shipwright's workbench. Turns out you have to remove the stuff from the ship and then upgrade it at the workbench. Yanno those warnings on shampoo bottles? Yeah, me. All me.

Cheers Seb!

Two things worth mentioning. There are very limited ways of earning XP, basically quests and POIs / camps. On the map page, at the bottom right you can see how many POIs you've completed on each biome so you can max them out and get all that sweet sweet xp. The other one, and this is a big one, is to always have some building mats on you. Boars don't seem to break through walls, so when facing multiple, you can box some of them in and face one at a time. This trivialized a fight I had to do many times over. Question - ship combat - do you always sink the other vessels, or also board them and wreck them? I've only tried boarding two vessels. One from my tiny little dinkyboat, and the other was the first ship for the quest. On both occasions I was fighting a seemingly endless supply of dudes and eventually gave up. Is there a trick to this or just keep killing them until they stop?

So ya. This game is good. After the raging success of Arc Raiders and my inexplicable sudden loss of interest in it, I've been looking for something new to play, with trusty old WoW plugging away in the background, and this is it. It even made me order a new GPU as my current one ramps the fans to 100℅ randomly and then just sits there trying to air-dust the whole postcode. The graphics are good, the combat is very rewarding once you suss it out, the exploration is like nothing else, the crafting and gathering is well balanced unlike some games which will have you chopping down entire forests just to build one fucking door (*cough* Valheim). I've only just finished up the first island and got the first ship, I'm now just exploring the various POIs on the map to get some XP. Really enjoying it, and just when I thought I'd got the boars sussed, the game throws those charging fuckers at me. Cunts.

Gid damn fucking cunting boars. That is all.

I love how @TurboR56Mini went straight from "I'm downloading the demo" to "we have a server" lol. I'm downloading it now, be good to fuck about with you cunts again 😄

I might have a look, certainly looks good.

You seen that MTV thing? It's fuckin awesome, includes the ads and everything too. Granted the ads are all 'Murican and ours were Saffrican but still, a lot of old tunes on there in that proper 90s colour spectrum. For a moment I wanted to get up and hit record on my Ghetto Blaster.

Doesn't look like an ad to me Dave, just @Lurchzy posting about a Lego set. We never have and never will put ads on the site.

Game completed, again. Expeditions included, I seem to recall there being a ton more quests the first time around, maybe it just seemed like more because I was such a noob. Also had the best game I've had so far with @GazzaGarratt and @Luseth last night, we went in just wanting to kill flying stuff for the points but ended up going on an absolute massacre instead, as well as maxing out the trial. Genuinely enjoyed that, really showed how much fun you can have if people just communicate.

Benches done, rooster done, christmas event thingy done, and on the last page of the expedition again. Probs around $2m in coins, and a fucktonne of blueprints spare so if anyone needs any, hit me up. As part of the expedition I've spent a ton of time on Stella, and thanks to a rat ended up in the murder lobbies again so I embraced it and played very carefully, murdering anyone who so much as looked at me. I think this game has knocked ten years off my life.

Did a few rounds with Cripspeee and Cal last night. Fucking disaster. Lost so much of my stash it's unreal. Cal's constantly trying to kill anything that moves whilst Crispy's trying to do quests and I'm just along trying not to get killed. Of course logging in today following last night meant that I went straight in to the murder lobbies and lost even more of my stuff, reminding me why I don't play with squads. Such a pity, as it could be quite fun.
