Why does every single one of you automatically assume "having to eat, cook, crap" when we say "survival elements"? No one is talking about having to eat and drink and what not. What we talk about (what I also explicitly mentioned in a video of mine) is survival elements as in: no possibility to breathe under water. Needing shelter from natural elements (storms, rain, snow, cold). Making it so that you actually DIE if you fall into an abyss. Making it so that you cannot simply fly off into space sitting on a bloody chair without any protection around you. All that ties in together with energy, industry and so on. And of course you can have food and crops and animals and everything - not because you need to consume food every 5 minutes (which is stupid when used in many games), but because through crops and food you have other linking game loops, and the food you can use for boosts or whatever. Ugh!!! God it pisses me off when people keep copy-pasting only the same one argument ignoring everything else ...

Of course there are ... anyone experience and say anything, you will jump to say the contrary, and how everything is so nice and dandy and we, all except you, are somehow wrong ... We've been here since 2016. We are still waiting for the actual GAME. Which isn't there, and most probably never will be, unless some radical change happens.

What does his name have to do with anything ...? Maybe, oh I don't know, he is a veteran of the game, like some of us, and unlike some others who post cheap comments and ad hominem attacks.

What's with all the Necros and parallel universe warped posts here ...

Maybe they mean wipe the game ... ?

Started in the 80s on the ZX Spectrum, Atari 800XL, C-64 ... later of course 286, 386 and so on (PCMR of course), all the games of the 80s, 90s and beginning of 00s. Didn't actually partake in the MMO craze of the 00s. I only tried a few MMOs but wasn't into them. DU was the first MMO that I backed from the beginning and of course not because it is an MMO, but because it is a space game - and as I have explained many times I love Space and Exploration. And of course I am STILL WAITING for the "perfect" Space Exploration game and no, NMS etc. are not these ... they all use proc. generation to create repeating patterns of terrain etc - and proc. generation sadly is a killer for engaging and interesting exploration ... Proc.Generation is, using an analogy I used in one of my NMS videos, like you creating a bunch of QR Codes. They all are different, but when you put them all next to each other you get a blob of noise which is boring and repetitive --- no large, unique terrain features, interesting vistas to explore, things to discover. Just repetitive, uninteresting, featureless dead wasteland.

Do you REALLY think they will change ANYTHING FOR THE BETTER .... You should know better by now ... The game should simply STOP. Should be taken over by someone, anyone else, re-started the Development of the CORE GAME DESIGN, mark it for what it is - a PRE-ALPHA - start a Crowdfunding - and start implementing actualy GAMEPLAY FEATURES of an SPACE EXPLORATION game, an engaging, intriguing, mysterious universe, and not a Dead Universe.

LOL.

When your 2 last projects are an epic fail, who do you go to work for ...? ^^

No, that is how JC always pronounces it

It's actually the Death Thtar.

To be fair they were called "A Metaverse Company" for many years now, before facebook and Meta etc.

I just logged in out of curiosity today ... saw that most of my territories were abandoned - and ALL the territories around me (which belonged to other players, some with big factories etc.), hundreds of them are abandoned as well .---- white tile borders everywhere - GG NQ.

You do realize that some 6 Billion people do not celebrate christmas, right?

Because I have waited for years for the 'game'. It never came. In fact it became less and less 'game' with every patch. That's 5+ years of my life ...

What 'game'? There is no 'game'.

Uff ....

Nothing will happen. This thing will shut down.

I don't play anymore. I abandoned all my territories on Jago (where I was building Atlantis), on Ion, on Sinnen. Most of my territories on Alioth as well - I mean I did not put any money in them - so I suppose they are or will be gone. All the money I had (some 30 million) I put on my "hq" territories and since I did not login anymore for weeks now I did not calibrate the 3 mining Units which I had set up because nothing matters in this 'game' anymore. So, fükk it.

Welcome to DU. A 'game'.

DU needs a 'game' first.

And that is simply wrong. As I mentioned in the video, that would be OK if this was a SINGLE PLAYER game (because you want to give the possibility to the player to do all or most things - since, otherwise, how will he be able to do it?) But in a multiplayer game, in this case, a MMORPG "player driven" game - that is just wrong. You should need other people for many of the things in game - otherwise, quoting myself here "no one needs anyone" - thus the very idea of an "emergent" gameplay dies.

Exactly as I have summarized in my "What happened" video and kept saying this for over a year now in at least 10 or so more DU videos.

Spreadsheets and shite .... Bloody hell, you might as well play Excel - it certainly has more features than this tripe.
