Wow, I am happy to see the positive vibes from Narc again, I used to watch every single video you dropped until you got so jaded and lost your inner copium. Great to see this version of Narc again, consider me a regained viewer. See you in game! (One of your overlord neighbors in Lyneth)
Watching you walk around when you first get to the node...pure silence, you just smiling and looking around... thats what its all about. Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching the server disconnect and his face made me even happier! Now we can watch his second breakdown even harder as the game becomes unfinished into 2035
Oh! there I am! im on RUclips! At 16:53 I walked right in front of him! I also followed him into the server mesh wall that DC'd both of us! Great to see you in the game!
I'm ngl, it was super fun watching you do launch. Seeing you go through the politics for hoursss and going through the drama and then becoming mayor. Was just sick to see. I've been playing for months at this point and never seen how the Mayor system works, so it was dope to see you do it. Also glad you're enjoying the game so much.
I don't think it will take until 2030 to see full release. It has taken this long to get a semi playable A2 because intrepid decided to scrap several initial developments (UE4, server state, etc) Now that people are getting in and testing for them, the state of play is going to skyrocket. This is my opinion and i could totally be wrong
Very playable beta in one year, full release in two (to three). People don't realize that what they're playing is two or three iterations behind their internal version because it's pared down to test stability and networking/mesh for their UE5 transition. Things are going to accelerate A LOT after they get that squared away.
@Dereliction2 which is insane to not understand. Stephen was pretty clear when he said DON'T buy a key if you are looking to play a game. The keys give access to an unfinished product that needs testing. And testing happens in phases, the first of which is always as bare bones as possible. They will progressively implement aspects of the game to see what works and what doesn't. Just like modding, if you install 50 mods at once, you're gonna break your game.
If I was Steven I would take a screenshot of you smiling like at 10:03, and put in on his office wall framed. For Steven, watching you play and have fun is worth a million bucks, for real.
Made it to level 22 in the weekend and done 2 bug reports and I can clearly state that with the pace we have to report things, the game will be fast as 7 years for the early access to arrive.
Pretty sure they had people in the studio do voice acting as a place holder. Was kind of surprised there was even anything as something like voice acting is pretty much the finishing touches and polishing of a game.
@@rashid2898 you do know graphic optimisation is one of the last things to be finalised r ? or are you so d*mb that you don't understand that alpha isen't beta or release :D
not going to lie, baring some jank here and there, this game is actually starting to look really good already, still needs a lot of work though that much is obvious
I thought combat felt nice, but I can only imagine how many more years it will take for the thing to be fully done. My main interest is in the crafting and economy, so I don't expect I'll play a ton till phase 3. But overall, it ain't bad.
Fun fact to the horse movement at 17:15 (rough timestamp) these side movements are actually accurate, they are side"walks" that are a actual thing with their legs crossing over like that. ^^ its quite a exercise for the horse, as it requires coordination and muscle strength. BUT and here is why i think its AMAZING that its included in the Game: these movements were part of warhorse training back then. im not great at explaing why in full detail here but basically its for maximising manouverablity for the rider in combat to for example not have to take their eyes off the opponen while moving about.
"we made it" - yes, we made it to the starting point of our journey. The last weekend was the official start of great moments we are going to experience in the next years.
Rough start but everything looking a lot better once you got away from the starting area. Honestly to be expected with any MMO, even WOW has those launch issues when tons of people flood the starting area at the starting of new content.
I hope that the game defines its art style and makes it actually look good before it launches. Right now the graphics look shitty in comparison to Throne and Liberty.
26:28 they should have this mechanics with the trees that when you don't cut a tree for a very long time like two or three months it becomes an elder tree and it takes much longer to chop down, it produces much more resources then normal and can drop legendary quality wood which when used in crafting gives additional buffs or stats to the product. If a tree does not get cut for more then 6 months then it becomes an ancient tree and will produce same resources as the elder tree but more and when people try to cut it, it will spawn small tree monster to attack them and these small tree monsters may drop a special seed that can be used to get a small tree monster pet or mount. If a tree remains un cut for more then a year then it will turn into an Ent(or sage tree). It will drop much more resources then others but when attacked along with tree monsters(which are now larger then small tree monsters) it can move and attack those who try to cut it, at this point it becomes a world boss with unique mechanics. Let's say within a nod(or a smaller area,(devs would decide on the area) there can only exist 20 elder trees, 5 ancient trees. And only one Ent(or sage tree) in every kingdom (multiple nods come under one kingdom, I am not sure if intrepid called it kingdom). The elder tree would not be much different then normal tree but it will be larger and taller, for ancient tree it would be similar to elder tree but a bit darker in colour and little bit larger(not easily noticable) leaves. And for the Ent(sage tree) it would be like larger old baniyan tree with many tree veins( like the ones Tarzan Swings in jungle) darker colour, larger roots, larger leaves and once attacked its top part of the stem would change a bit to look like an old angry face. When such a tree is born the whole server would get a massage of it and tell the region it has been spawned. When cutting elder tree there would be no indication or pop up massage. To push it even further, if some how a tree does not get cut and remains for more then 5 years then it turns into Yggdrasil and can no longer be cut and remains forever. It will (let's say once every one in game year) develop fruits that will give great buffs temporarily and small buff permanently, the fruit can be sold and may even be used in rarest of rare(unique) crafts. This tree will be super tall, so larger that it can be seen from far and on its branches there would be small and large tree monsters. Even on its branches entire houses can be built. After it spawns the whole server would get a small buff. And only one can ever exist in a server.
Fallout 4 is not bad graphics for an MMORPG. An MMO is not going to look like C2077 anytime soon. And in any case, playing WoW Classic last year made me realize that the graphics is the least part in a community-based MMO game anyway.
sooo good, @narc im glad you guys crushed it through. It was a crazy weekend, as soon as I saw the Wall of Floaties i knew it was gonna be real hahaha. Great Content, and great leadership. Losestead tho?! lol kidding, see you in Verra Kitties!
I'm just glad that Narc is finally able to enjoy the game for what it is, instead of memeing (and sometimes not really) on it being a scam/lie/etc. 36:20 just look at that happy face
First look, slightly, sure. Way too little to go on to make such an assumption though, the systems in the games are vastly different, and we haven't seen a smidge of end game play. I mean, where's my freehold in GW2, for example? Either way, off to buy a new SSD as this game bricked mine when I tried installing it.
[36:42] That look on your face!!! It's EXACTLY like a kid who got the toy he'd been wanting forever on Xmas and is now in the first few minutes of playing with it! HAHAHAHA! Freaking POGGERS BRO!! Mew Mew Mew! Copium Kitty Club GOOOOOO!!! 🤗😍🥰😊😂😁
A 10 year old from when this game was announced in 2016 will literally be in their 20's with a kid by the time this game is fully released. 😮. Hope the enjoyment lasts.
@@v3sonoright the sad part is you could use AI to make more variety in the character of the voices with only a handful of people as in like 5 voice actors could make 200 unique incredible voices. Or.. you could run all the text into something that generates audio because it saves time/money, which is what they did.. Personally I would rather there not be any voice acting at all than there be absolutely terrible soul sucking audio
@@derekepperson2448 Yeah, my assumption is the voice acting is at the bottom of their priority list right now. It probably won't see improvements until beta.
35:47 Subject missing Trees, In history lumber jacks were looking for straight limbless trunks, most of the trees in game look that way, if they made some crooked, bent and very branchy models that arn't harvestable, it would visually make sense.
here is another take on Intrepid's timeline. 1.Look at how much is being released over A2 phase 1 and 2. I don't care how many hours they work, unless the foundations and meat of these updates aren't mostly complete, there is no chance of meeting these timelines. 2. Assume I am right on #1 for arguments sake. Based on Steven saying they are going to hire outside studios to do a lot of work on the world, the finished product timeline is not linear, it's a bell curve. They can hire 3 or 4 studios to do finish and polish work and 3x or 4x the volume of work done. I've seen a video of Stephen saying he is going to do it. Intrepid is building the foundation and tools now, testing those foundations and tools. Once that is confirmed, I believe Intrepid will have those other studios do the "monotonous" work that does not affect the overall gameplay and structure. Basically, copy and paste will allow most nodes to be completely built in minutes. He needs these first few nodes to work nearly flawlessly, after that reproducing the many systems in the node are literally just copy paste, change the name of the node, then link the systems. Completion in 2026 is now actually easy to aim for.
I'm Happy For you Brudda! The Moment of long awaited GLORY! ❤🎉😂 I can hear the Joy & excitement in your voice. & Good Choice on the Black Chick! 🤣 Can i change the thighs?? lol.
I am happy to see some AoC same as I hate to see it. Idea behind that is big part of immersion from game is exploring content, not exploiting it via streamers and tutorials.
35:25 I think it should be diminishing returns. Cutting the trees repeatedly within a time from that starts with cutting the 1st tree gives lesser rewards. And after this time is over the reward resets. Also have requirement of wood resources less in all crafting will reduce cutting of trees. And if all trees or most trees are cut from an area then it will hasten corruption of that area and give debuff like less mana regeneration when resting and health regeneration for all in that area.
I hope the mechanics have common sense, like fire gets extinguished when you go in water and movement gets slowed, any spelling with wind element increases the fire burn effect etc
Probably one of the funnest days playing an MMORPG period :)

35:25 I think it should be diminishing returns. Cutting the trees repeatedly within a time from that starts with cutting the 1st tree gives lesser rewards. And after this time is over the reward resets. Also have requirement of wood resources less in all crafting will reduce cutting of trees. And if all trees or most trees are cut from an area then it will hasten corruption of that area and give debuff like less mana regeneration when resting and health regeneration for all in that area.
Hopefully now that they've got the game in a playable state development will pick up speed
5:14 - This is the *first* random spot I skipped to and it's a perfect microcosm of this DOA game.
Had the exact same reaction when first talking to the Tradesmanager :D
The best video of all time
The line "How many players on steam?? NONE, dead game" 😅😅😅😅 great line
Sprinting animations needs more shoulder movement to make it look more natural, otherwise not too bad
“I like black chicks” 😂😂
The man likes what he likes
I hope the mechanics have common sense, like fire gets extinguished when you go in water and movement gets slowed, any spelling with wind element increases the fire burn effect etc
