I've been on a media blackout for this game, except for this one time i watched a twitch stream for about 10mins. Got home early to play and stuck searching the seas. Glad i didnt spend money on this (game pass trial). Hopefully they get this resolved soon.

You'll see in the armoury four different weapon types, click the category you want then click the weapon you want to equip. Can only hold two at a time so choose one to change out.
Ok I didn't realize I had to accept it before I could get the cage. Thanks.
The thing with these launches is, it's like none of these companies learn from each other. Back when WoW launched, maybe this was acceptable. Then diablo 3 happens. Then sim city. And probably others that i'm not thinking of right now.
The games are different, but the underlying network technology hasn't changed that much. You have load balancers, servers, and connections between everything. Stress tests everywhere. Then the story is always "we didn't know we'd have this much demand!"
But next year, we'll be in this exact same boat with whatever next big online game launch is.

Did you eat the banana in the tutorial? Because I think you get the gear right after that.
Omitting important words is miss-quoting, you can't just decide to miss some off. I wouldn't have said most islands if I meant every island. There is nothing coy about it.
The world does not feel like a lively place to me.
It's a pain in the ass and the fine print on the voyage does it no favors.
A server glitch. Kill yourself and it should equip them when you respawn
Overreaction is a drug and the internet is the biggest pusher on the planet.
It floats to the surface when you wreck, at least. Happened to my crew earlier. Luckily, we were at the outpost already.
Can we quit it with the hyperbole?
Everytime I come in here looking for meaningful discussion I see this shit.
We were interested in the game. Then I seen it goes to xbox and pc. Then I seen I could do game pass for free for 14 days. Then I seen it works with game share on the home xbox. So instead of us waiting for reviews and a sale we are both trying to play off once game pass that is free me on PC her on my xbox one. That is 2 people that wouldn't be here otherwise really just to try it.
I bet we aren't the only ones trying to get into this game because of the hype and the free days of game pass. I assume that is generating a huge load on it compared to other games with no pass or sharing. But if this works we will pay for game pass monthly no problem since I got a good pc (8600k gtx1080ti) and 2 xbox ones in the house. $10 a month to let 2 of us play at a time anywhere is unreal.

That's the huge power of game pass, its a crazy thing. I'm equally as willing to spend $10 a month and I don't even have a PC. Just two AAA games covers the cost of a whole year of subscribing, that's phenomenal value.
In my opinion, no. Once you get over the neat water visuals and sailing, it's as dull as dishwater.
I'm complaining about the hyperbole and you're complaining about my hyperbole. Nice !
It's a very different experience, but enjoyable. Having to do all the navigation, raising sails, changing directions with the wind, etc, all on your own can be pretty stressful. It's pretty rewarding when you cash in those hard earned chests and skulls by yourself, though.
No. It's much more difficult and you can lose a ton of progress when you run into 4 people playing together who decide to kill you.
I've been enjoying the game a lot, but even when I played once with one other rando in matchmaking accidentally when I was trying to play with another ERAuser, it was so much more fun. Everything when you're playing alone seems to take more work since you have to do it all yourself.
Again, I have fun, but I'm really excited to play with other people in the near future.
Yeah, I wouldn't get too upset about what is happening in here rn. Honestly, it's to be expected when something doesn't work as it should. Sure there is plenty of hyperbole but we are on a gaming message board, so...
Not that I've personally seen, but it wouldn't surprise me that it would have some jank like that. I played for a couple hours earlier and we weren't getting gold or reputation. Another time, I spawned and didn't have any equipment at all, so I had to reboot the game. They have some technical things they need to iron out still.
Finally get into a game after waiting forever. First thing that happens is they put me in jail. Fantastic.
I think that's a pretty unfair comparison. Rare have been completely up front about the content of this game from Day One.
yes, just with any community OT......I remember FFXV and Andromeda, holy fuck at andromeda initially
eventually they cool down and you get the folks for the long haul
if your on a two man sloop alone you should become "captain" and have the ability to brig trolls. I spent hours doing a massive loot run when a friend got disconnected from the server, for some dick to come in and try and crash the ship, drop anchor randomly, throw chests off into the sea, eat all my bananas.
I was lucky to get it back to an outpost before he done too much damage and get the most of it sold. Although I never got any xp or coin for it, I'm hoping it pops tomorrow when I go back in. I love the game, both in multi and single player.. I just hate when you can't kick people who just want to troll.
Edit: it didn't help matters that I had to deal with a sorrowful chest on top of that

I got in when I tried to sloop with another player. I can guarantee that works as I did that twice in an hour.
So solo doesn't work, partying with a friend doesn't work. But matchmaking with a sloop does work. Just wait on the sloop "invite a friend" screen an it'll match you with someone. Took about 5 mins.
How? We're playing the game they've alpha & beta tested with us, there's nothing we didn't expect, and we're playing with many other pirates. How is this like NMS? Don't say "content" as there's plenty to do with friends, that's the main focus.

I'd lean pretty firmly on "no" for this, at least in terms of being worthwhile only as single-player. Playing alone is a good step for learning (and fun as a small part of a broader experience), but so much meat is built around the social layer over the sailing/combat/exploring. And all it would take is one crew wanting to mess with you to basically stop any progress in a given session.
Eh, so much of the criticism of No Man's Sky was a lack of social play and the feeling that the random generation meant nothing felt like it was made with human agency.
yeah im doing this right now and every new wave just ellicits "for real?" from my crew even though theyre in good spirits about it so far. there should really be some way to tell how far along you are
Once you get in, my experience has been pretty stable, but there are some bugs...people have had issues with their gold and experience not showing up when they log in...I also had a problem with some of my inventory items disappearing, and I could only fix it by restarting the game (primarily playing on PC).
I played 20 min and never want to go back. I can hang out with friends in better games and not be bored.
TBH i hate MMOs, I could never understand the appeal of playstation home or second life or any of those "simulation" type games that aim to create social spaces. I'd rather be sitting in a DBFZ lobby or overwatch group.
