    Could you elaborate?

    they cant release console until they come out of early access which wont be for a long while because they are pretty slow. I imagine at least 2 years. They are releasing on steam deck soon if your getting that. 

    The caves are pretty well done. Much better than the older procedurally generated dungeons in the swamps and black forest. They built 30 different possible rooms so each one feels pretty unique. A good addition to the game. 

    Easily my favorite game.

    Two years to full release? Perhaps by then gamers will be able to actually purchase a modern console at normal retail without having to stand in line the night before the store opens to get one.

    @Scot its has no official servers. Its essentially a single player game you can play with a few friends. You have to host a server, run a dedicated server or purchase a prefab dedicated server.

    I consider that a big positive. It's much harder for a studio or publisher to milk you with micro/macro transactions and gives the players control of their game experience. It's typically much much cheaper too and they can't shut down and take away your game like MMOs that shut down.

    I dislike the game design of small official servers with limited population mixed into a sea of community made unofficial servers that are likely modded with a different ruleset than official servers; games like Rust and Minecraft. Valheim has no official servers at all so what is supposed to be a massively multiplayer experience is usually played solo or co-op with friends. I'm all for more co-operative experiences like that and other particular games might do well with that server setup but in my eyes Valheim, Minecraft, and Rust, these are all games with mechanics that beg for huge official servers. Not to mention, if you don't play on a password protected server on these games the likelihood of trolls joining and griefing you is very very high.
    I will always vote for Massively over co-op, but the down side is the microtransactions etc that Torval is talking about.

    Anyone tried it out? Is it worth jumping back in for this? 
    its only a minor update. Some new light armor and a couple of build pieces. They did a pretty good job but it is a tiny addition.

    The big negative is you have to rely on a few gaming friends to play. If they walk away you'll end up flying solo which is why I prefer company run servers.

    No opportunity to meet new friends, have to pay to keep server up, and changing the setups seems a lot like lowering the rim in basketball so everyone can slam dunk.

    ;)



    Maybe I'll play if they ever offer a company managed multiplayer experience...
