Hateyou Hateyou I remember seeing this forever ago but I am excited that this is coming out. It looks like a clever use of AI for simulated players or whatever its doing. But if the simulated players don't call me a retard faggot, trade scam me, kick me out of the group for letting the tank die, or train me to death repeatedly I don't think I will feel at home.

This looks batshit though. I love it.

It’s great. The sims do talk shit about each other in shout and it’s pretty funny. Sometimes it really feels like you’re online. It doesn’t have cussing though as it’s a family friendly game. Everyone in the discord are old MMO players so they all get it, and some of the stuff has been molded by them. People also refer to it as Dadquest, because it’s a “MMO” with no time commitment. The dev having a kid and having to quit MMOs is what inspires him I believe.

I played the demo a lot and never really ran into any bugs. The dev was great about feedback but also sticking to his overall vision. My main contribution was I showed him a shader/filter setting that other games in that engine used and how much better it looked, he tried it and then overhauled the entire game graphics with it. He left the old graphics as a toggle in options so you can see the difference. Looks so much better now, thought it was pretty cool he listened to a piece of feedback that could’ve felt really critical, I figured he’d get offended but he thanked me and would give me credit when discord people complimented him on the change.

It is really interesting, 100% gives you the new MMO vibe but all single player. Found the secret words to say to some NPCs to progress some quests. Got a group going via shouts, had one guy pulling as we camped a named in a dungeons. With some more classes and different starting areas this could be something special for a long time.

Group members level with you and ask for loot they need if it drops, if you hang out with them they have interactions. No idea how much is repeated but I didn’t notice any.

You can even send them tells. I’ve seen some funny interactions in tells.

How much content is in at release? And what are the future plans for said content?
Click to expand...
I think I remember seeing something like 30-40ish hours if you’re just doing the minimum. However the demo took me maybe 3-4 hours but I did not complete all the quests. I saw people getting 20+ hours doing all the demo content with each class cause they loved it so much.

I don’t know the content release schedule going forward, but I like the game enough I’ll do an EA run then come back and do more runs on other classes when big content drops happen.

So is it just questing ala WoW that's the content? I was more under the impression that you "bot" an entire raid?

It’s more like EQ questing than WOW. It’s more like exploring, camping mobs for certain quest items or exp/loot than just grinding bear ass quests.

You can have three sim players join at a time, there are something like 100ish in the game to choose from. They’re also out grinding and running around and leveling while you play. Gearing out your favorites is part of the gameplay too.

Raids with more of the sims are future content.

Try the free demo, it really just feels like you are playing an early years MMO. You’ll be able to know if you like it or not with the demo.

Ahhh, so it's basically just WoW 1-60? I'll pass until the raid stuff is added.

Without dungeon and raid content, I'm not really interested. Questing is the absolute worst part of MMOs to me.

No there are dungeons. I don’t know how extensive they are yet, I’ve only done the couple in the demo. The crypt felt straight up like an EQ dungeon.

I've been looking forward to this since I heard about it, hoping it would be good. The concept has insane potential. Gonna try it out next week when I have time most likely.

You can idle as long as you want - the SimPlayers are tethered to you. If you're in a party, you can set them up to fight and soak up free xp while you go do dishes if you want to.

I'd love a game like this where you play as the dungeon master for simulated or real participants. MMO Tycoon as it were. The gameplay would be achieving a balance of attracting heroes and growing from their deaths.

There's a whole genre of books I love based on that concept. The Divine Dungeon Series by Dakota Krout
