Mentioning twice that the feature is much requested makes me think it wasn’t actually highly demanded. Maybe there is a large group of folks on the fence about the game until it’s more single player, but it’s hard to imagine they can’t already find that in Minecraft. Idk.
A sovereign world with no public permissions would seem to already cover that. I can’t imagine spending lots of time building in my own universe that almost no one will ever see, but if there’s a market for that kind of player, sure.
That is indeed the way of it. We shall see what comes of it.
Despite my ranting, should this turn out to be a good thing for the game I’ll happily admit my concern was unwarranted. Until then I’m skeptical to the point of irritated and disillusioned.
I get where you are coming from. You’re invested and passionate about the game, so for you seeing things that look to be destroying the game in your view, well you’re going to react accordingly. It may or may not be warranted. The only thing that you know is you are invested and you do enjoy the game and you want it to be better because you want to share in it with your friends.
been there done that. Took a long break as a result. Sov’s brought me back after being gone for a while and I upped gleam club for a few months in hopes that something else is added to keep me around once the newness of sov’s wears off. I definitely get where you’re coming from and though it’s definitely from a heated viewpoint, I don’t think it is unwarranted.
This already exists in PC version, it is getting more polished and easier to access. I don’t understand why this announcement is seen so negative now. Plan to have mode like this has been told long time ago.
Don’t you all think this might be a step towards making the game inclusive for as many tastes as possible before going out and fully advertising the game when the devs feel it is the right time?
I fully understand asking for more requested features but they always assured they have several things being cooked simultaneously.
It’s a matter of prioritization. Basic content should come before sweeping gameplay changes. Furniture and clothes, raids and dungeons should come LONG before a perforation of the gameverse.
I would hardly say that this feature is being dumped on the community as pure surprise when it says right there “If we’re unable to release all 3 server configurations simultaneously, then our priority will be the Public Boundless servers. We will then release the Private and Self Hosted servers as quickly as possible afterwards.”
Communication is needed on those things. I understand there’s a wing of the forum base that will be hypercritical on what’s delivered on as opposed to what the goal is/was so not sure how you communicate those things without getting pitchforked by that crowd also.
Oh, absolutely more people mean new amazing builds, communities, and friends to play with. What the concerns are about is the priority of such as this new feature coming out the oven before missing features off the game. A lot of the stuff people are talking about are things that we’re told would be in the game from when the game was first announced.
I am not poopooing this feature in any way. I am just speaking my mind about getting this kind of update over more stuff to do in the game. Like I said in my earlier post these updates are just giving us more places to do the same things we have already been doing rather than new stuff to do or improvements to already implemented features.
Happy to see this announcement, basically I’ve been waiting for this announcement since I first bought the game during early access, as having a local server was initially one of the main appeals for me and my brother.
