are the people real players?

[thething1992]

it says it's an online game, but my question is, is the online players real time, or just data ghosts?

[ROTBI]

all of data ghosts, not realtime.

I don't even think it's ghost data because 95% of all names I see are simple first names like Ben, Jeff, George and after 13 years being on Steam I've never seen someone having his first name as nickname lol.

Ok it can be that people pick their first name for the game, it's not really steamrelated as you can change it at the start, on top of someone adding me as friend on Steam after I replied to his discussion topic and his name is... Ben. :D

When players start a new game, they can pick whichever name they'd like for their character (with some profanity/offensive filters). The names aren't unique (there can be more than one Ben) and aren't related to a player's Steam display name or ID.


When you encounter other players on the actual trail and at campsites, they are Bot/AI versions of real player accounts and appear in the area where that player last logged off.

When you are inside your town and interacting with shared resources and chat, those are real players active at the time you're interacting with them.

Awesome, thanks for making it clear! One other question I got is about the -%resistance gear, is it really less resistance? Because it's hard to imagine Tracker boots are worse in mud and fire than simple boots.

Wait so this game isn't actually co-op or proper multiplayer?

[wiidad]

more like side by side single player :(

[wiidad]

Why make a game like this?

You're welcome! I apologize for this late response:

Any resistance stats on an item mean increased resistance to an effect (or decrease in adverse effect). I am sorry for the confusion on that. There aren't any items that are worse for any conditions, there are only items that will improve conditions for you.

For example: some shoes are better in mud, but they will not be worse when there isn't mud.

Hope this helps! I replied to your other topic too, but posted here as well for others to see. Thank you for playing, safe travels!

But you can't play with other people can you? I'd get the game if I could play with friends and other people.

You can by being in the same town. You can use the town chat to coordinate and talk.
