So I bought this game a few days ago and have been following the online discourse ever since. Up until today there wasn’t even any current videos on YT about the release. It made me worry that it was going to fly under the radar and I considered trying to even make one myself!! lol. Because this game deserves it. SO HAPPY TO SEE ALL THE COMMENTS AND PEOPLE ON HERE SAYING THEY BOUGHT IT OR WILL BUY IT!! 😊 I TRULY believe that you WONT regret it!! Keep in mind, the game isn’t perfect but it is a ton of fun so far. For the price it’s more than worth it. If enough people support it, it is pretty much GUARANTEED that they will continue supporting it and will take into account all of the feedback they’re going to get, to make the game GREATER THAN EVER!!! Let’s go Wayfinder: Echoes!!!
The revamp is killer. I didn't need another Live service game to drive FOMO, and the gameplay + art alone make this such an easy buy for $25. Play it!!!!
Its kinda crazy we dont hear enough hype from going live service, MTX, "p2w" stuff to a buy to play game and you aquire everything by just playing. Looking how crazy the market is becoming with like Throne And Liberty where you literly can spend real money to buy gear from an auction house to get best loot. Installed wayfinder again and kinda happy to try 1.0 out.
Just bought it! I knew Wayfinder was a thing but i never went out of my way to see what it really is. Now that i know it was supposed to be a online game but turned SOLO or COOP, it piqued my interest. There is a reason i don't play MMOs anymore even though i used to love them, because i am so tired of FOMO, of mechanics that are built to only waste your time, to force you into buying some currency etc, which is a shame, because some online games truly have fun gameplay, some fun mechanics, but it gets so bad due to all the online stuff. And this games seems that i can enjoy a MMO like experience offline, which is a dream coming true.
Just a tip for imbuements - they also add certain accessory sets to the loot table and can be used to force spawn an event that grants you specific materials(like phoenixes or loot goblins). And of course there's the spectra that you need for awakening.
I really hope this game is a success because it'll send a message to developers and investorts that gamers don't want live-service games with microtransactions. We want fair priced titles with good content to justify the hours of fun we sink in. Frankly I think that Wayfinder failing as a F2P MMO and rising from the ashes as a fully fledged retail title was the best thing that ever happened to it.
I just recently picked up this game and loving it, didn't know at first it was MMO after 20 hour into the game but then the dev turn things around. Best comeback they ever made and hopefully soon they release a roadmap and would gladly pay for the expansion.
He never spoke about the style tab.. every bit of equipment you get can be mix and matched in the style tab if you just want to keep a look. Also you can fully customize the colors
played it for about 5 hours, definitely into it so I'm buying it tomorrow. I have some concerns regarding loot diversity and endgame, but thus far it's definitely worth the purchase.
I played it when they were doing test run for live service and it felt bad because servers kinda sucked. But i have seen potential of possible fun game and now im happy to see that they finished as standalone game that can be enjoyed like borderlands. Mechanics even at then felt good, but it sure didnt felt good as live service game back then.
My body is ready for the breath of fresh air brought to us by the Airship devs ❤ The game is bleeding with passion and inspiration. Looking forward to getting some solid mileage out of the 1.0 release. Shut up and take more of my money!!
Ive put in alot of time into and love it. The grind feels like Phantasy star online for game cube. Also really enjoy the stat layout and how you build your character and how two people can run the same character and they can feel different based on factors like weapn choice, rush echoes, and stats. Amazing game!
Am playing today and I LOVE IT! you can doy so much things, i love the graphic style, thank to JOE MADUREIRA and his brother for this... i thing too, if you like World of Warcraft, this game will like too much.
@@Yewrenegade funny you say that. DE backing out suddenly as the publisher is what almost made the entire studio and game go bankrupt. So they are likely never talking to DE about any kind of involvement
@@Yewrenegade It is pretty obvious, DE drop it because they think it failed and is a horse shit. Because of this, following the "business come first" principle, a collaboration with Warframe would never happen.

Its really phantasy star online without the sci fi theme, loving the game and hopefully it gets the following it deserves. with enough support maybe the devs will connect the dots for a sci fi setting!
I got in at early access and was very disappointed. I'm glad that it has recovered and hopefully it gains popularity so that the industry sees that Live Service isn't always the answer.
Wayfinder was an absolute dumpster fire at the launch of EA. I came back to check it out again a few months ago after a pretty significant patch and I can say that this game has run the no mans sky arc in about a year. It's legitimately good now. The boss fights are particularly well done.
Every one who support the Game more then just the minimum for EA in hope to get a new MMO Style of Game are get a big fat slap in the Face and a nice Cashgrab too! They can not manage to make a MMO, do things so bad (Devs back in the '90 do them better) and switch then to a Single Player/Coop bs with the excuse to get more Money...sry, to not let the Game die. Its simply a noname Game with no real reason for the grind. As a "Founder" you get what? 5 Coins and can not get even all things from the Shop (nothing great in there, but even that you do not get?)? Really? Great Job.....! The Tower completly unlocked before? Do it again. We can give you the Keys to unlock it again but no, we dont want that. Lose your time and do it again.... I personally recommend everyone (no rent, just trying to give a good advice, i have to learn from my own mistakes) to get a really good Single Player Game, spend the Money there hand have a fantastic time, and not loose your time with AS's failure....
idk I dont like playing solo I'll need some kind of competition in game like pvp or pvpve If it was there I would 100% buy it but for now I am not sure I dont like to play alone that kind of games
I've been playing Wayfinder Echoes since it first got rebranded and came to early access. It's really fantastic. When it first released it was pretty garbage, imo. Long long build times. Low drop rates to craft characters. Really repetitive and mind numbing. Not anymore. You get characters easily. Farming is far more fun now that you do not need a team to get through content. There is a meta, but you are not really tied to it. Use whichever character and weapon you want. Build whichever stat you want, even if it is just to test things out. It isn't so damning if you choose a path that fails and you want to rebuild. I can't sing its praises enough.
14 minutes and no comment??? time to retire lol Im enjoying the game on a real note. You can tell this is a MMO at heart but trying to be single player. Its wonky but working.... sad to see there is no future road map
Game sounds fun but what really pisses me off is the fact that all the actual character progression, loot progression and upgrades was behind paid content the way it was before changing the approach of the game and makes you realize what a shitty scheme it is.
If I recall it was supposed to be a single player game with co-op elements in the first place.

I like Wayfinder, but the way they do loot is boring. When I do a dungeon I want drops for my character with random stats. The loot is more or less static and depending on your level you can get something as good if not better at the vendor. That is the main problem with Wayfinder currently, the loot just isn't exciting. If they change it to more of a Diablo style loot system then the game would be more interesting and have more replayability.
My experience has been that the real chase items in Wayfinder aren’t the weapons and armor, they’re the accessory set items and even moreso the echoes to slot in them.
Currently on steam I have 750hours. When they went to offline mode we lost ALL that progression and put a horrible taste in my mouth. Not airships fault but still a lot of wasted time
@@Vulkan_Gaming just randomly freeze locks system have to reboot. When game is playing its fine but you start a new zone or story ark sometimes just locks steam deck and have to re boot.
I just don't feel this game, it is lacking something. Where are the "named" boss fights? Where is the content ladder? You just run around doing "stuff" and getting "stuff" and making "stuff"...okay... A very shallow game loop.
This game just sounds boring. I was way more interested when it was an MMO. Maybe I just prefer those games. I mean, your "end game" chapter is ridiculously tiny. What's the point in even grinding? Idk maybe I'm missing something.
I fail to see the woke. The starting cast is a white male, a black male, and a purple female elf. The other characters are a white female, a void male, a giant male beast, a hispanic/black female, and a buff white female. That's a pretty nice cast. Not to mention basically every npc is either a fantasy race, or white

Downloading it right now.😊
Tried it. Way, WAY better than expected. This will do nicely while waiting on PoE2.
Been putting hours into this, especially now that 1.0 released. It's been a lot of fun, really glad they took they route they did with the game.
The revamp is killer. I didn't need another Live service game to drive FOMO, and the gameplay + art alone make this such an easy buy for $25. Play it!!!!
The FOMO is a reason I rarely come back to games which I took a break from. I wish there was no FOMO bs in games anymore.
Its kinda crazy we dont hear enough hype from going live service, MTX, "p2w" stuff to a buy to play game and you aquire everything by just playing. Looking how crazy the market is becoming with like Throne And Liberty where you literly can spend real money to buy gear from an auction house to get best loot. Installed wayfinder again and kinda happy to try 1.0 out.
Seriously this is THE most underrated game in my steam library, great combat, tonnes of content and progression for a bargain price.
Wayfinder is just plain simple fun loop, while having enough depth to keep it interesting

Most of us will spend $25 on a meal or two. Make yourself food for once and boom, money for a game with tons of content
