Community Crunch 520: Three heads. One very good boy.

Holy reptar so peak

After playing on genesis 1 for a while now, I have to hand it to you guys for how well designed the pirate missions are. They're really engaging and elaborate, and I'm actually having fun playing them. They really are fantastic over all. But why are the rewards complete and utter garbage? For how much time and effort it takes to complete a mission, we'd really expect something better than a few trash quality octopus saddles and cannonballs.

 

And FYI you still haven't fixed the glitched mission structures on Lost Colony PvE, and the pirate captain banner isn't destroyable in PvE either.

Maybe with 5.8 my and many others inventories will stop getting wiped or maybe Nitrado can release y'all from it's clutches earlier than 2030 and let some server companies who actually know what they're doing start offering their services.

I agree, the loot is laughable, it should be equivalent to an OSD, for the amount of time it takes to complete one. The only reward of it is the challenge in completeing it.

Why do you guys give us release dates when y’all know you won’t drop the content on time? How does this dev team realistically think they can release the rest of the tlc creatures before the year is over?

"together in one packed release" ohhh no, that's it again, was good to know you guys 🥲

fixes and rollbacks for two weeks, here we go

Dang was hoping to see the Giga releasing with the Theri but hopefully it's soon after

 

Also still really hoping for some Gen 1 improvements like Mining Drill buffs/fixes and obviously missions

Always new tames but never new structures 

Since the engine upgrade is now onto UE 5.8 (instead of UE 5.7) does that mean WC will be utilizing/including the "Megalights" function/plugin to help with the game's horrendous lighting performance now that it's out of beta/early access?

wish they'd add triangle stairs and triangle ramps at the very least.

 last i heard it was suppose to release with Astraeos' final update

Should have mentioned the Concavenator and the Galleon too. 🤷‍♂️

But glad the upgrade is now 5.8 instead of 5.7 and we have a team of ex-Epic peeps working on it.

This isn't me complaining, excited for everything coming up, but wasn't the World Creator supposed to release in tandem with 5.7/5.8?

Yes, and we also need one-wall-wide peaked walls to fit on one wall, so we can have odd-width walls on builds without the gap up in the ceiling corners

There is a boundless amount of cool dinosaurs to add to the game, instead all we get is AI generated fantasy abominations.

I'm only exited about creature TLCs at this point. Unreal Engine upgrade sounds intriguing. Perhaps It will fix horrendous lighting on Aberration.
