    I'm 100 hours in there is the big boss fights to come later on in the ascended realms and the vaults. But i think it's also important to remember this game is a week into early access and I'm positive we will eventually see more biome cards as *STORY SPOILERS* happen. Inflection Games has already been more than willing to listen to feedback and make changes if you feel strongly about it i would suggest a forum post as feed back. I'm not trying to be dismissive of your stance I just think it's something we will see on the roadmap, and while i have some things that urk me in regards to the game overall i've enjoyed my time with it.

    I don't really feel misled at all. It's an early access game. Nothing is set in stone and the devs are openly soliciting advice and feedback. I think it's unfair to expect an early access game to be perfectly polished upon immediate release. It's not like BG3 which was in early access for 3 years, or Valheim which has been in EA for 4 years and counting. Meanwhile, the devs have promised that, in addition to comprehensive bug fixes and UI improvements, more biome cards are coming, which I think is exciting. Also, I think stacking minor cards would be kind of game-breaking under the current system. I think the current iteration has good bones. It's a good start. The setting is super cool. I think the basic concept of the cards is awesome and will only improve and become more refined. And I'm hopeful that, unlike most survival crafting games, this one will have an actual storyline. That'd be awesome, and worth dealing with the glitches in the short term for me. But yeah, nobody misled you about the fact that this is an incomplete game that is still rough around the edges. You signed up to fund the devs ability to keep improving and refine it. I think you can say you were misled if/when they they don't follow through on that improvement plan. I see no reason to expect that to happen. Also, I'm a little suspect of the opinion of someone who had time to put hundreds of hours into a video game that only just dropped a couple weeks ago. Maybe take a break and go touch some grass?

      I have more than my money's worth for an early-access game. The concept they described is well represented in the game. If a game can keep my attention and entertain or challenge me for 1 hour for every dollar I spend I am happy. I spent $29 and have played almost 50 hours with more than twice that ahead of me. And now I hear they are adding more and I have just now unlocked my 4th realm.

      At least it's not like Icarus, that offered a zero-g space station as a hub and alien creatures but then dropped both shortly before release. And on top of that the missions were boring with no depth or story and the progression was shallow. Nightingale is doing fine.

    @dygz 7 месяцев назад +5

    Early Access - some functions are not here.
    I play more than just two or three Minor Cards - depending on what I specifically wish to do.
    And, those differences are significant. Malificent Card on one Realm for farming Bound. Treasury Eminent Card on a nother Realm for farming Essence.
    I dunno that stacking Cards were said to make the game harder - Tiers are higher and more difficult. Stacking all three Cards makes your GAMEPLAY signifcantly different.
    More resources is significant.
    When I'm farming Bound Ichor, I want it to be Night all the time.
    It's a different version of "the same thing".
    Nighting Gale is my favorite game of the past decade. Way better than what I was expecting.

  • @tonyw6451
    @tonyw6451 7 месяцев назад +12

    You act like they hyped this game too much. It was nowhere near the hype of games that failed hard within the last year, and even in early access I think this beats them. The pirate one, the Star one and the Zombie one, in particular. You picked two weird things to drone on and on about. "It's not unlimited combos of maps" (I didn't expect that from the promos) and You can't "stack cards" because you woefully misunderstood how stacked was used in that sentence. Overall its a lot more thorough than I thought it would be, in terms of crafting esp. And the combat is fun, with a good reason to do melee or ranged, quick or tanky. It's really easy to customize your gear to a play style. Its also very early access, so we can expect a fair amount of things to be added or changed.

    the first point is absolutely nit picky. personally I looked into this game the week before release, and it gave me exactly what I was expecting. does it need more variety? absolutely. it needs more chunks per biome, and more biomes. a bit more space between chunks might be useful too. ive occasionally found them too close together to actually make sense. I know they are working on an arctic biome but I hope they go harder into this. id like strange alien biomes. I also think it odd that all the places of power are on the abeyance realm. I think it would make more sense to either have a realm per place of power, like a unique one, or have one place of power on your abeyance with different sections for the different unlocks. of course I havent gotten very far yet still working on it.

    At the end of the day, it's a $30 proof of concept alpha version of a game. Your concerns are understandable. There is still plenty of room for improvement and despite how few biome selections there currently are, if they do end up adding to the available biome selections and major card types, the amount of playable maps will increase significantly with every addition. I also feel like the game isn't quite what they were originally advertising, but I feel as though it certainly will become that. For now, just play until you tire of it and then come back to try the new stuff they add later!

    I actually very much disagree with your take on the minor cards. They may not change the features or landscape of the realms, but if you use them in accordance with a certain task or goal, they speed up the gameplay by a ton and can make a pretty significant difference. I do wish you could play a couple at once but, not a big deal to me

      True. They came out very early and said the changes they were making with minor cards so to me its moot to bring up the before-change stuff. I also feel like they would have to restrict some cards being played together if they change stats in the opposite direction like one is less hunger and one is more but then one increases ore and one trees if that makes sense. I dont think cancelling out things would work

New bioms can always be added as well as major cards. Nothing but space and time are infinite they just used hyperbole. I like the realms but what i acctually like is the depth of the crafting. It does need alil improvement but it is early access. No man sky is almost as vast as space but it is never truly infinite but they have described it that way. Im always critical of games and devs because of past events. I wouldnt give my final opinions until it actually is in full release. Im having fun but like i said its still subject to change.

    Minor card were removed from Portals and added to Fey tower - in pre-early access version you portal had 3 card slot Biome and Main card mandatory and optional slot for minor card ... So you had slightly more customized map from start. Current 7 realms (major card ) have 3 pre build / randomized variants - depending on with Biome card you use - so you have 3x7 = 21 different maps ( following 3 Biomes themes ) - they can be slightly modified by minor cards - though its not that big deal - same map witch minor tweaked aspect ... harvesting more , glass canon , always a day ... all 21 Realms are created from pre build section with point of interest drawn from pull of pre build locations for that specific Biome & Major card ( not that big pull - you bound to find copy of same locations on one map ) ...

    I don’t feel ‘deceived’ but I was certainly hoping for something a little more varied and their marketing certainly implied such. I know you’re being as fair as you can to the game but let’s be honest here, it really is just 3 maps: Forest, Swamp, and Desert. The only difference between any of the major realm cards is difficulty, palette swaps and different resources and creatures. Once you’ve seen one forest though you’ve seen them all and the fact that that repetition applies to the POIs and bosses means any drive to play comes almost exclusively from the desire to grind out more resources and blueprints.
    I haven’t gotten to The Watch yet but as a solo player it sounds like there’s no purpose for me to continue once I reach it so I’ll probably just put it down pretty soon here and come back later to see how it improves.

    Your first point is defiantly overly nit picky. Stacking is also playing 3 cards as well as 20 cards. He maybe shouldn't have said stack but at the same time there was never a video or photo that showed more than three cards played.
    I do agree that the maps could use more variety in locations and creatures but I also feel that way about Valheim.
    And until any early access game goes full release I don't consider them to have an endgame. I generally stop when I hit the end of content, either start a new save or wait until more content drops.

    • @Firespark81
      @Firespark81  7 месяцев назад

      @DaleMoorenotchip Yes, but he said "stacking to increase the difficulty" and that's just not how it works. As stated in the video playing a minor card does not really affect your resources in that way. With like 1 or 2 exceptions and even then that's like a chance to find rarer loot in chests. And from what I have seen that rarer loot is just the same stuff you'd find in that realm anyway as all realms have different rarities of loot. Ya just find more of it.
      I think overall my biggest issue is that to me at least they sold the realm system as this new innovative thing something that would change the face of survival games. And in the end, it's just not that at all. It's just a bunch of maps that have had their biomes split up and you can't even change them that much. Know what I mean?

      @@Firespark81 I would say it is revolutionary to be honest. Is there another survival crafting game doing things with any type of realm system? "Not that is perfect by any means." So for something no one else is doing and it's in it's infancy for the most part, It should in theory only get better. Better / more assets, randomness in generation, etc. My gripe is that the game holds your hand way to much. The game literally tells you where everything is. EVERYTHING. There is no reason to try new realms and actually explore and do content as just 1 or 2 maps and you have enough to buy all the cards/recipes in each tier, which they tell you where to go get...

  • @ysayde1331
    @ysayde1331 7 месяцев назад +1

    I believe what you make your cards with is the seed but also when you reset a realm it ends up differently so there's another seed aspect there too which seems random. There are ascended versions of the cards which were not mentioned until the end of the video and are just glazed over but they are different. Difficulty doesnt change a map or realm other than its difficulty, so Im not sure why this was mentioned. So... taking this into consideration I do not believe there are 21 or 40 some of the same maps. Even when not counting minor cards, since each map is procedurally generated the content, POI, possible creatures are all being drawn from a long list of potentials which will only get added to since this game is early access.
    Nothing is more fun than resetting a realm to explore a completely new version of that level/difficulty. If you want to be nitpicky though, no infinite possibility is actually infinite in games- not the universes in NMS, nor any other procedurally generated maps in any other games because there is a set amount of digits in a seed (required for map generation of this nature). It's always been an illusion because no one expects a player to spend their life seeing thousands of possible maps.

    After writing my other comment I realized what is almost certainly the reason minor cards can't be played at portals. They need realms to be essentially all the same because they want it to be an online co-op experience. They need your public realm characteristics to align with a lot of others. I feel like they need to find a middle ground. Making all the realms boring and predictable so you can have easier matchmaking isn't a good answer.

    And yes, the cards are as you saye they are. (The minor cards were changed from the quoted promise to how they work now because of player feedback during beta.)

    I agree only on the grindy part at the end game which they should reduce drastically since the game is still in development in my own opinion; allowing the people to be able to test the end game without stopping due to the massive grind.
    The game is still in early access, so you can't really judge it in its current state (unless you're trying to give feedback in a weird way). As far as I know, the devs mentioned that they will be adding new cards through the life time of the game.
    As a survival game veteran, this game is great for new comers and veterans alike. They gathered the better features of other survival games, added to the great aesthetics and graphics supplied by UE5, and they added their own twist which is the theme and the story of the game; which feels like a breath of fresh air in a mostly stagnant genre (not to mention the great sound track that plays a big role in the immersion and the atmosphere, and also the voice acting which I would assume they would be adding a lot more later).

    To be fair, the CEO's statement shows exactly how it was in the beta I tested last August. I could play a Biome card, a Major card and up to 3 minor cards and open a unique realm. This allowed us to have nearly unlimited combination of unique realms. Unfortunately, something happened between that beta and launch and now we have a Biome + major and then once that realm is created, you can modify it with the weak ass system of the realm transmuter thingy and then only 1 minor card can be played at a time. This was a huge mistake in my opinion. I wish they had kept that original concept. I imagine they had to do this simpler concept to avoid having a huge number of unique realms which they have to host on their servers.

    I think there's a good foundation here, but I agree with your criticisms. It needs more content. But also they have all the systems in place to make realms and cards more interesting. They just haven't implemented them in a way that's interesting.
    Playing minor cards only after a realm is entered is a strange choice and I don't know why they did that. The benefits and negatives are things that could have been random modifiers for underspecified portals and made things more interesting. But instead every realm with the same major and biome card is exactly the same mechanically. Huge missed opportunity where all the mechanics are already there, just not used in an interesting way.
    There's also a bunch of confusion with some resources varying based on the major card and others varying based on realm power. Honestly, the difficulty options shouldn't even exist and should be handled with modifier cards.
    It's also strange that realm color pallette is tied to major card. It's not a huge deal, but it just makes me scratch my head.

    I agree to a point. This a wonderful built game... BUT (and this is where folks will start getting defensive) The overall gameplay is ... well just not well explained. I have learned more about this game through RUclips than I did from the developer. Matter of fact. I even got so frustrated that I deleted my character so I could correct some of my fatal errors. Everyone keeps saying it is EARLY ACCESS... ok, great, so when will the finished game be available?? Because that is the game I desire. It annoys me to think that what I am doing today will be nixed next week. I play other survival games (not stating names but they wipe the world every 30 days and you start from scratch so why bother building a huge base)

    let's be fare there are 3 maps with tier variants. There's so much that could have been done with Fae realms and they included none of it. No Faries, pixies, dryads or nymphs not even a werewolf. No fantastical lands with unique landscapes. It's all pretty plain and quite grindy for what it is. I'm not sure how they add anything without a rework of the game. There's very little actual exploring and a lot of the mechanics seem a bit broken like not being able to shoot an enemy while they're in one of there attack moves. I think shooting something dashing toward you should hit it when you're point blank. Hope this at least helps the Algorithm.

      To be fair their system is modular. They could change maps at any given point of time and it would not affect the base game. They could also just add new ones. I honestly look for them to sell card packs as microtransaction as a way of making money to afford server costs. I have no idea if this is what they will do but it seems logical and its what I would do if I were them.

    I think what you may have missed about the realm system has nothing to do with how varied a realm you can create. What caught my attention was that you can share it with your friends and play together with them. Now it turns out, this in reality needs a lot of work. You could do a whole other video on the multiplayer aspect of the game. Its strong and weak points and ideas on how it could be improved. One downside I saw was that if one player in a group solos a tower of power, when others go there, all mobs and chests do not respawn (as far as I can tell). Only the main boss and minions will appear and the final reward I think is all you get. This is a terrible way to design the bosses in my opinion.

    • @rocsek_

      They already have a fix for that very thing. You reset the realm or someone else just opens up another similar realm. Takes all of a minute or 2. Then you have a whole new map to do with friends. Don't get me wrong. There a few things I'd love for them to change, (like the games holds your hand WAY to much) but I've had 0 issues playing with friends.

    I challenge you to show any two generated realms the same. And I don't mean 'reopening' a portal to the same realm lol You won't be able to, because there is always variation to the point where it would be something like 1 in a million you get two realms the same (maybe even worse odds, i don't know).

      The realms are the same. Playing the same combo of cards gets ya the same realm m8 if you can't see that or understand that you probably shouldn't even be commenting. Sure they are laid out differently but they have the same resources, plants, animals and structures with only small variations in the structures. That is fact.

      @@Firespark81 So just make a video talking about your opinion on Nightingale, that you feel the realms are not different enough for you. Don't attack the devs over it. Don't make up nonsense to try and prove devs mislead you with untrue statements.
      I've played Nightingale plenty myself, over 100 hours, and reached endgame, harvested most materials, crafted all the things, I even toyed with the many exploits that are only now entering youtube. So I'm well aware of Nightingale mechanics and realms.
      "...he talks about stacking up realm cards talks about them in a way as that you can pile them on top of each other to create higher tiered areas to go to and that's just not how the game works." < Untrue. This is your opinion, your interpretation. The game works literally as the dev stated, there is not a drop of misleading info in there.
      "... being able to really customise realms and you can, and this necessarily isn't a lie, its just misleading because you kind of need to go to all of the different combinations blah blah blah" - Again, your opinions, your interpretation. The fact is you CAN customise realms to your liking, primarily with minor cards. There's nothing misleading about this. You may not use more than one minor card, but some of us use many different minor cards, that's your choice, you're missing out. I could give detailed explanation of the extreme usefulness of over a dozen minor cards.
      "The combination of all three (major card, biome card, minor card) together creates endless variations." - This from the promo video is factually true. There is a finite number of card combinations, but thats not what they said. They said endless variations of realms, from those finite number of card combinations. As I challenged you earlier, show me two realms exactly the same, I very much doubt you will be able to (maybe you'll get lucky on procedural generation to get two the same.. i've never seen it). You may be disappointed in the variations, but the video/statements are not missleading, they are true.
      "There are seven maps in the game, maps are your major card that sets the map" - There are no 'maps' in Nightingale, you made that up. Why I have no idea, as it already has a name. There are 14 major cards in the game, The Watch does not have one, 7 regular major cards (Abayance through to Hunt), 6 Ascended cards (Antiqurian through Hunt), and the Vault card. Alone they do not create a realm, in combination with 1 of 3 biome cards they create a realm. So 42 possible card combinations in creating a realm, of which have limitless variation.
      "has grasshoppers in it it's always going to have grasshoppers in it no matter how many times you open a new version" - Sure, and ALL realms will have fibre, trees, ore, a fae portal, and many other things. That doesn't make the realm the same, it's just one thing that doesn't vary between realms, out of 1000's of things that DO vary between realms. Again, you may not like it, but in no way were the devs/promo material misleading.
      This is getting tedious, you say dozens more things that are purly your skewed interpretation/opinion of things. The bottom line is, the devs/promo material was not misleading (or lieing). YOUR video is misleading, full of opinions and made up terms and ideas by you, and other things that don't exist in the game. The only one misleading anyone is you.
