According to the description, Toast was inspired by old school MMORPGs.

    Well the developer has the right idea..somewhat.

    Implementation is bigger than the parts on a piece of paper.
    Scaling>>NO
    classless>NO,remember the word ROLE in role playing.
    crafting,not much said here,how is it done,how fast is it,how important are the crafts,etc etc.

    Not p2w,well one good idea in the bunch is a start.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    According to at least two dev updates since EA launch, they're working on the server issues.

    Yup, I haven't been able to connect to even try. They have set a server cap to 100 players until they can figure out how to fix CPU usage issues due to people logging in...

    This is why you have QA and run load tests before selling it to players.

    Refunds gonna be pouring in, such a rookie mistake
    Refunds for a free game?

    and does anyone know if these are the same 2 guys that made Salem?

    I mean - is someone hosting the server on dialup from their house?
    Its impressive how many games you have played and know about....many of these  ihave never even heard of and you've already played them....If you aren't working in this industry you may have missed your calling.

    Jumps the gun before knowing jack shit. Rookie
    This happens frequently here , the community has become accustomed to it ....

        So EA game offering folks the chance to  help test and try out game for free and still people find an unsubstantiated way to complain .....
     
       I mean it only says ............. FREE TO PLAY

    Just because the game is hardcore does not mean we all have to jump on one another. Try to channel the cuddly graphic that was no doubt chosen to make any hardcore player gnash their teeth. :)

    I remember "Rubies of Eventide" back in mid-2003 - that was bad. (You could see the rendering happening.) Refund - check!

    To be as bad would make this dire; worse - yikes. It sounds bad.

    I can't take this game seriously with that screenshot. It does not look hardcore at all, looks like a mobile game.

    I am working WITH the game industry not IN the industry ;)

    I lack the creative talent to be in the game industry, and knowing so many folks who do it - I just know it's not for me. 
    Hey don't sell yourself short mate. I bet you can bring a lot to a design team. 

    I may sound sarcastic, but I'm sincere :|

    Likely will not try it out as not my cup of tea but I hope some success for this game as I read the comments on the Steam Discussion the developers appear to be some of the nicest people based on their comments, they are apologetic and are working hard with just two of them (which they do not even have to be for an early access/alpha game that is free) and they are responding to everyone.

    Whenever you really want to sell a game as being "hardcore" using a pic such as the one in OP will do it every time.

    Implementation is bigger than the parts on a piece of paper.

    Scaling>>NO

    classless>NO,remember the word ROLE in role playing.

    crafting,not much said here,how is it done,how fast is it,how important are the crafts,etc etc.



    Not p2w,well one good idea in the bunch is a start.



    No, the 'Role' in role playing is not derived from a class 'role' in a group. It literally refers to acting out a role as an actor would.

    Don't forget that role playing predates role playing games.

    I'm ok with sounding a bit nitpicky on this, it's almost as frustrating as people calling them 'Roll playing games' because dice are rolled, or thinking 'Rangers' are called Rangers because they attack from ...range.

    I'm a bit suspect on this, if you look at half the reviews are suspect. People just one day decide to make this title the first thing they've ever reviewed?

    A lovely nitpick I can agree with :)  Thanks for making it!

    Although I have to admit, I called 'Role Master' for 'Roll Master' for a bit after creating my first character in that system to tease my new DM. For a beginner in 'Role Master', I found it overwhelming and so many dice rolls had to be made compared to what I was used to. But it was interesting to try it out.

    Its too bad RoE went under..>Despite the awful lag it was a fun game with a great skill system

    Two guys made this open world MMO but Amazon with an entire building full of developers getting paid 50-100k for 2+ years with all their resources can't even make a shooter.

    It might just be me, but this game makes me wanna eat some toast.  I have to give it to them, it is a interesting title name for sure!

    An overview for those interested:

    not gonna lie I was expecting an I AM BREAD mmo from the post title.
  • AkulasAkulas Member RarePosts: 3,029
    Needs to be lag free and optimized way better before I go outside the test server for it. In the mean time will casually poke around on it every now and then. Optimization needs to be a priority which the dev said isn't a priority right now. Other than that not much issues with it. 87 hours of my life wasted in it so far according to steam.

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

    Full loot drop in pvp, this game won't go to far playerbase wise, get rdy for the zerging of solo players.
