I've honestly kinda come to appreciate how NMS doesn't really publicize their updates much beforehand. It's not super hyped up for a month where one hardly feels like playing the game cause it will have more later, and it's hard to be let down over something you didn't anticipate being different before. It's just "oh cool, they added more stuff to the game again"

Well, Sean usually posts an emoji on Twitter that vaguely references an incoming update and its contents. Usually, for 3 to 4 days, sometimes less. It makes the community go apeshit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Doesnt really tell you what it is tho, beyond something very vague. Its not like promising some feature, getting hyped over it, then finding it isnt as much as what was hyped up

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's true. I was just saying they have a good approach to hype. I was there the first day he did the emoji and it was awesome. It initially had a rough response but after the first major update it's been a very tried and true approach.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

presumably they learned a lesson, and now they just roll with what reliably nets them more goodwill and keeps people playing the game.

and yeah go figure, if you actually recognize that you fucked up and genuinely work to fix it, people will mostly forgive you and start viewing you positively again, what a concept huh.

At this point every single update from the previous one onward is a trial / test of the systems and mechanics that will go into Light No Fire.

TBH I don't mind this. Makes me look forward to LNF.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No mans sky really makes me hopeful for LNF too! Hell its of the few games I am looking forward to

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Definitely! I think I’m just so excited that even NMS updates get me hyped for it!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

A boat load more, one might say.

Not me, of course. But someone.

No Man's Sea ?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn't see anything about deep sea diving? Did they change world generation to have actual deep seas?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think they redid the oceans a couple years back. I don't remember how deep they are but they were more interesting than before with underwater base building and stuff.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Ive been playing recently and the deepest was around 80 units, with max of 110 with caves, not very deep at all.
