Boundless now self published on Steam

I would imagine you could solo a T7 quite nicely with the right build!

Haha, here is my combat & mining build from the same post. I believe I designed it with T7 harvesting/hunting in mind. With a few more levels, I would likely get the gathering epic and probably some jump skills.

Is it just me, or has this thread gone completely off the rails?

I suppose my main issue is exactly this

I guess itā€™s ok if you are a Jack of All Trades but kind of tends to be the opposite of what an MMO usually has which is sort a set of classes where you are reliant on others in a party to help you.

Granted Boundless never really has had that so not that big of a deal ā€¦ but there are solo players and leaving them out is a fail too.

I believe they originally intended it to be more interdependent, but since some players like to solo, the sheets thing was a concession. That concession meant everyone can do everything on their own, and thatā€™s not something you can really take back.

I think casual MMOs frequently make content soloable or, uh ā€œwhatever build is fineā€. Some people dont actually like the trinity or meta builds. You then can build other content to encourage group play. Meteors get better loot in groups, so good for casual zerg play. Dungeon and raid type content (we donā€™t have) would then require mechanical expertise including the trinity, which is still built into this system.

You can Solo a T7 Nicely Now without the update xD

@Redlotus I suppose with the skill tree update they could also increase the difficulty of T7 meteors; making them harder, but not impossible? Also, @BabyCookie, I did see your post about using bombs on a T7. I would just die all the time trying that! :stuck_out_tongue:

There were mentions of T8 Brutal planets. I donā€™t know if those are still going to be added or not.

Too many messages to wade through. Sounds like the hype train is chugginā€™ along at a brisk pace. Iā€™m rather ignorant when it comes to self-publishing, but what does that mean overall? I want to get hyped as well, but I donā€™t know what being self-published means over being published by SQENX.

Mostly it just means the Dev team has control over publishing and any revenue that SE was getting.

The hype though is more around the fact that James has stated: ā€œWe plan to share more exciting news about Boundlessā€™ future in the coming weeks.ā€

Publisher does the marketing for a game. Since SQEX said they werenā€™t going to do any more marketing that turbulancz can do the marketing themselves and do more promotion for the game if they choose to. If you ever see a game that has the developer different from the publisher that just means they have someone doing the marketing and promotion for the game for the company that developed the game.

So all James has to do now isā€¦

ā€¦and Boundless lives again!!!

I believe The Cookiemonger has it right, if Iā€™m remembering correctly. They hadnā€™t made the icons yet, so just used the bomb I think.
