Timer? What is timer?

[Mr.Valentine]

Ive been thinking of buying this game and kinda liking it but got couple questions

Ive seen some mixed reviews about timer or timers whats that about ?

Am I required to have internet connection to play the game ?

I was curious as well and from what I can tell it's timers where you have to wait real world time for crafting/building? Like how F2P and mobile games have... I can see why people complain since this is a buy to play singleplayer game.

Timers are real, but hopefully something that will be fixed. It's clear they want some delay before you get access but perhaps mix it into a quest/mission instead of pure time. Still the game is in EA, so i would assume this will be changed.

I just returned to the game after this update and in two days playing i upgraded most of the vendors, timers are well done, you deliver the materials for the builder and go about your business, not only that but it seens after this update the materials respawn faster.

It adds a layer of complexity to the game, since you have to choose what to upgrade first, people dont like it, i dont mind, if the devs put some sort of option would be better, i would still use it, as i say what really bugs me is having some sort of construction be instantaneous, but to each their own i suppose.

Yeah I picked up the game recently and the timers are really not a problem. I am surprise people are complaining about it. Not that you need to rush into getting all the projects done at the same time. Chop some trees and pickaxe some ore and dig up some clay and start a project. You can grind materials for 3 or 4 projects at a time and you can go do other stuff like level up or collect gear etc.

To the OP, I would get it now that it is on sale. Just remember this is a Early Access game so don't expect a full game. Play it for it a bit and come back to it when major updates drop. It is a fun game and the art style is impressive and unique.
