SectorB Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I haven't played the beta yet as I am waiting for it to be fully polished and released. I have heard of a few things like acid rain (that sounds really annoying!), I'm guessing it will reduce your rain gear durability faster?

pyroisshy Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 earthquake boulders are the worst addition klei has ever added. everyone hates wildfires because they are extremely annoying to deal with and constantly threaten their base, and now caves have a year round mechanic that threatens bases with even less counterplay than wildfires Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/148079-what-are-your-thoughts-on-the-new-beta-update/#findComment-1637955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamboyant wolf Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 the visuals are great. I like the scrap book. not a fan of the gameplay part of those updates, but I guess I'll have to wait for the 3rd update to see if this all is worth it.

Ryusuta Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Pretty much put all my thoughts in the "Shouldn't we WANT to do new content?" topic I made. But to summarize, I am really very concerned with the direction these updates are taking. They add "challenges" that do nothing but make the game more annoying while offering new items that are at best tiny upgrades to what we already have and at worst completely pointless. I appreciate what they're trying to do in terms of lore and stuff, but it's just annoying and pointless, and it makes me feel like a chump for even doing it.

GenomeSquirrel Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 The new crafts are boring, very fundamental and redundant.

I can deal with the acid rain. I can deal with the nitre covering the ponds. Boulders destroying the base is worse. The antlion's summer boulders seem to have more time to run out of the base. These random boulders destroy everything.

Baark0 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 scrapbook is good concept, the popup is annoying and needs to be turned into a compendium item like cookbook/gardeneer hats scythe is the best and most interestingly designed item added in both rift updates, i just wish its ramping damage mechanic wasn't bound to the void armor void armor looks cool, wish the characters who dont have visible noses/have non human noses didnt have the silhouette of a nose when facing sideways boulders spawning from earthquakes shows progression of your world which i think is cool, but there needs to be a way to protect from them, as cave basing will be a nightmare if it goes live in it's current state acid rain is weird. while the concept is cool, the execution makes it feel terrible, as the only ways to deal with it are to 1) go to surface and wait the rain out, 2) use beefalo or 3) manage umbralla along with light and potentially armor and weapons/tools. i dont think it will be as bad if you have access to the lunar crown (assuming that doesnt degrade under acid rain), however its a little weird that shadows of all things are causing acid rain. dreadstone walls look awesome and i cant wait to build with them, hopefully they arent too expensive or are crafted in large amounts miasma shouldnt damage you while wearing full brightshade gear, otherwise why does the helm even have the goggles effect when a simple torch does the job better since it actually removes the damage. edit: forgot about item pick sounds. i like it, it'll take a while to get used to but ill manage, what i like less is how only some items got changed. either all item's pick sounds should be changed or none should Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/148079-what-are-your-thoughts-on-the-new-beta-update/#findComment-1637969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
. . . Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 These are my thoughts lol but to put it short I think it's cool, but some stuff didn't have enough thought or effort put into them and it's missing some options for some of the new features.

Like Logically it makes sense that these new boulders would be carrying valuable resources (because they’re triggered by a more intense force) so rarer or even brand new Minerals should be able to be mined from these. Such as Gems, or Pure Horror, maybe even tiny “shards” of Pure Brilliance that can be combined into 1 pure brilliance? I just picture the new boulders that are only triggered super late onto the game, being a little more than just Antlion boulders cranked up to 11.

BB Marioni Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 boulders are the most concernng given there is not counter measure. it's like having disease again. Acid rain a little bit concerned too, mainly because the only counter occupies hand slot. the rest seems fine Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/148079-what-are-your-thoughts-on-the-new-beta-update/#findComment-1638003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
