First day on Brighter Shores

How can we make sure all players play the most efficient way? I find it annoying when people play games and don't do it the proper way or go around exploring and playing so disorganized and not to the best optimal grind.

[just a personal opinion it's a personal annoyance seeing people play wrong]

Absolutely. The proper way is obviously the following:

- ask to be invited to as many groups as possible right before going idle
- always 'mine' in the newbie areas whenever hitting max level
- PVP is for their own good
- Ganking isn't ganking when you waited a half second for them to pick it up.

I was under the impression that there was no games to play upon recruitment, and it will be all work and no play... are you telling me there will be games? what types? chess? checkers? monopoly? perhaps clue?

[Direct Miss]

nothing, people play how they want and nothing can change that except game-changes, just gotta deal with it.

[Dano]

this is the stupidest opinion I've ever seen

Easy, just follow me.

People are gonna play however they want to. If you want to help you could make a steam guide or something giving new players tips.

I just wonder how the starting areas are going to work at launch hour. Having a hundred-some players spawn in and immediately trying to cut wood or mine or kill stuff all in the same area is going to be nuts.

Some of the early footage shows you can 'partner up' on some resources, like a double-ended saw for woodcutting... but I never saw any mention on if the resources became 'exhausted' like old RuneScape and nobody would be able to harvest there until it respawned.

We also don't know how many players can 'exist' in one place. Presumably it'll shard out the servers/rooms but if there's ~16 people in one area trying to harvest one rock for some starter quest/tutorial and the thing is always exhausted, we're going to suffer alot of frustration at the start xD

what a boring op, probably always play the s tier meta builds in every game

why not let people play the game THEY enjoy it the most? if they like to stay forever in the first area, let them?!

If I understand it correctly, the room system will alleviate this. There can be multiple copies of any room and they have a max occupancy.

Yeah but if the unlisted Launch Trailer is anything to go by, there's still an on-the-rails tutorial/introduction quest at the start before the game opens up and lets you meander about as you please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_PIWDd3ftw

So if resources are exhausted when someone harvests them and has to respawn, and there's 8 or 16 players in a single instance, and one of the early quests is "Look! A rock! You should harvest it!" and you have to complete it to continue, and there's 8 or 16 players all trying to hit the same rock first, then it'll be extremely frustrating. xD

It hasn't happened too recently... but this used to be a common problem is launch-day MMOs. I think the last time I experienced it personally was on New World, but man is it annoying when it does happen.

Meta gaming and efficiency is the way.

[Tubey]

For me, the optimal way of playing this game now is following you around and deliberately doing stupid stuff and begging for gold.

I will be pro-actively searching for an optimal guide to achieve this aim.

[Nil]

This is def bait.

[Shlewdaa]

playing the most efficient way? bro its not even out yet this sort of mentality is toxic and ruins the true feel of a game. just relax and enjoy it, discover things for yourself.

Ive never been a Meta player i find it extremely boring to play the same way as most players, infact i actually go against the meta in all games i play. I find it more fun.
