LMAO These devs have abandoned you guys.

[Lynnerik]

I checked back after not having played since launch, and this is all that's out? Lmfao. Gotta admit, they played us well. RIP what could have been a good game.

Talk is cheap, broski. No use if they talk a lot and release ♥♥♥♥ all.

Game development also takes time and care. If they released things constantly at the whim of the audience, you would get some unfinished and complain even more.

Here: https://forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/two-months-without-news-what-s-happening-with-no-rest-for-the-wicked/14120/9

There was talk of a big update (not the damn Crucible hotfix 3) and there were rumors that this big update would be released by the end of November.

To date, not only has nothing been released, but they are not even talking about it anymore.

I don't care how much time it takes to complete the game but I'm really disappointed by this total lack of any official communication.

And no, I don't care if someone write something on discord. I bought this game on Steam, it's marked as Early Access so it's here on Steam that I want to be updated about how well this early access is going.

You believed a rumor and that was your own fault.

There are two extremes here.

The one extreme is expecting a meaningful update every month.

The other extreme is thinking that it would be ok to release nothing meaningful at all for 8 month straight after charging us $40 for an early access title.
That's as if the customer would say : "Give me the content now, I pay you $10 now and the rest in 8 month, maybe.".

Early Access is not Go Fund Me.
There has to be content worth the asking price.
Steam made that clear multiple times.

You were given a strong highly replayable experience at a discount. Future updates will cost you nothing.

Expecting significant monthly updates to an early access game is naive.

They are not a big team.

Stop being so impatient, play something else in the meantime.

Ok, let's stick with the facts then:

1) the last update is The Crucible, july 25th. Then just three hotfixes for said update in 4 months

2) there are "rumors" of a big update, no official news nor estimated release date

These are the facts.

Again, I'm not impatient for the game to be ready (I played less than an hour becouse I don't want to spoil the game during early access), they can take all the time needed BUT I'm very disappointed for the total lack of any communication.

Replayability doesn't replace content.

If you want to grind the same 4 hours hundreds of times, you have every right to do so. But if you pay $40 you should get more than 4 hours on your first playthrough out of it.

And nobody expects updates every month, that is a strawman.
But 8 months without any meaningful content update (*) in an early access game is really stretching the definition of EA.

* = not counting Rouge-like endgame as meaningful content.

No patches since july? LOL wowwww. I feel bad for everyone who purchased.

Take-Two sold Private Division and the only game they kept is No Rest for the Wicked, so I think this is a really positive sign but this seems to be the reason why there was almost no news around this game for a """long""" time.
Apart from that, the developers recently shared a lot of fresh information on their official Discord, so it is not abandoned :)
I hope the team takes all the time they need to bring their vision to life.

Well I hope they do come through. I didn't buy in to EA because I'm not lobotomized, so I am more than happy to give them all the time they need. No full good game, no money.

The premise looks interesting though and I love their work on Ori so here's hoping they actually have been busy the last 8 months and not desperately looking for fundraising to save the studio.

I have faith. Parting from Microsoft was the best thing they've done creatively speaking but man the indie life is rough, you can't come out of the gates half-assed like this.

Has probably to do with them charging us $40 and delivering not much for 8 months straight. And if they float some ideas on Discord, it's basically only about how to turn the game into an MMO with timer/artificial progression blockers, mandatory third party account and a plague system changing the world around you even if you are not playing, for a game which they marketed in trailers as single player souls like action rpg.

Wait, seriously? Are they learning nothing about the live action culling? Did they not see what happened and is happening to Wayfinder, a studio that is very likely to shut down now that their revamp of Wayfinder from a MP live service to a singleplayer RPG flopped even harder than the original game?

Please say sike. Please.

People are just less tolerant of this BS, especially for early access and especially in a post BG3 blowing up world, because Larian showed people how devs who give a shiz about their customers treat EA after making you pay full price for it.

I have to concur here, this game looks dead as hell. Not a single word in literally MONTHS is not a good sign in development. No hype continued, no marketing, no effort to communicate progress and build energy.
I was going to finally purchase it, but when I did my research- it looks good. But the devs have gone completely dark. and are not even talking during the holiday season. Means this title is a dead horse. Moving on.

They're not silent, join the discord and be respectful.

I paid $40 for EA... and they haven't presented any updates for a while. If I join the Discord, I can get updates? How about they actually reach out to us, rather than having us reach in to them?

I give everyone, who didn't buy into the Early Access of this game, the right to call me a complete and total dumb*ss (I definitely feel like one right now).

At this point I think that they prefer silence over giving very bad news about the game.

beat the game and almost collected every piece of gear, I feel i still don't have all of them. I sunk 100+ hours already and still have yet to try certain builds. I got my money worth. I do hope to see more.
Coudlnt beat the crucible knight for the life of me.

You can have 100+ hours of entertainment with a big stick and enough imagination, doesn't mean the stick is worth 40 bucks.

$40 isnt justified for any early access game.
I said I want to support it, not get screwed over by it.

Dontou know how Key selling works ? You support nothing ...
