hey. i understand your concerns, but i would appreciate if these long discussions about the game’s state were moved to separate threads, so people can see more of the news without the long replies clogging it up. thanks in advance.
(obligatory @Chemile0n ping)
Thanks for the sharing from coi1, Junn and others! Let’s find more hope here and leave the complaints elsewhere.
thx for the ping, and thx for sharing the latest discussions/updates. i have been slacking a bit the last few weeks 
i moved the lengthy discussion to a new thread here: Feedback on announcements and updates
you can all use this thread directly for lengthy discussions, as we want to keep this a lean info thread.
thanks for keeping it clean and happy new year anyone 
Hi, can you dedicate someone to monitor Steam forums, there’s really negative atmosphere forming towards the game as not everyone is following updates here or on discord. I really hate to see this game being called a scam !!! So please just dedicate someone there to reassure impatient people that updates are coming. Thanks.
revamped realm screen concept that just got shown this morning.
shows realms, recent quest updates in that realm, recent bounties, recent sacrament upgrades, realm citizens & their characters’ locations/playtime.
this seems like it’s intended to make it much easier to tell realms apart and how far along they all are.
–subject to change–
there also appears to be art of an unreleased zone in the background of the image.
Yeah the plague spreading is the only thing worrying me, there was a rumor this would run even if you didnt play the game, which is not good in my book, i dont care for these kind of live service game BS where the devs try to play with my anxiety, so i hope this is only a rumor and nothing more.
i agree with this. the question is just what does the team want? do they want a game where everyone logs in 3 days a time for 5 mins each to start building A, accepting quest B and collecting crafted weapon X, or do they want that people log in and spent 4h in a row.
all these real life times got me a bit worried from day one. the rare merchant only showing up saturdays from x to y kind of set a uncomfortable tone for me. i actually went to him ONCE. and the i was like “nah, thats def. not worth my saturday afternoon”.
it brings up the question: does the game reward it less when i only have 1 day to play but 4h in a row compared to being able to play every day for 15 mins?
all these get x quests per day games like genshin etc. kept me hooked for like a week, and then it was a chore to log back in. i do not always have the time, so for me 4h in a row should be on par with 4h spread over a week. we all have lives to live, and in the end it is rarely the game that wins that battle.
I think that kind of things could be able to switch on-off within Realm settings. But I am just guessing. Understand the intention of giving a real feel to the realm, time there passes also, etc…
They just have to bring some balance to players who can’t be available 24/7. It is just a mechanic to bring fun to the game, not like you are going to lost your house or progress anyways.
