All the points you raise are very valid!
Over the years a lot of what the team are and have been working on has been shown in sneak peeks. I agree that the game feels unfinished and many have commented that release seemed rushed. The devs have always responded with words to the effect of " we’re working on everything, its gonna take time, but all you want and more is coming".
This may be no consolation for someone wanting to enjoy today what boundless will certainly become however.
To your points;
-
Hunters / bashers / rock throwers and TITANS! Yup these aren’t in yet. The hunter is coming, and the AI seems to be the hardest part of the new creatures.
-
Clothing. Yeah characters used to wear sashes, but people complained that there wasnt enough dimorphism to distinguish female characters, i can only assume the stock clothing was changed to help with this distinction.
-
Furniture / “props”. Have a browse through the devlog section of the forums or search for concept art. What we have now is indeed disappointing when you realise what they have coming in the future! Not that this excuses the lack of content; just saying they’ve been working at exactly this for quite a while and the release date cant come soon enough!
-
Interactive/ logic blocks. Yup, we want. Haven’t seen or heard anything official about them being planned sorry.
-
The ui. Especially machine and lists ui…
They can read our minds. -
Blocks used to be world specific, but its a pain when all your night azure metamorphic rocks dont stack because they grew up in different neighbourhoods…
-
Plotting and takeovers- devs have mentioned that guilds (or soon after) will bring changes in beacon grouping management that will allow for partial retention of identity even after assimilation. Not sure how / what this means exactly, but worth keeping an eye on.
-
Prestige - yeah thats a woolly mammoth of a topic. To quote Guybrush Threepwood :“I aint touching that, who knows where it’s been?”
I love how you’ve formed a structured opinion in a short while in game, and they are all topics frequently (and fervently) discussed here. I’m not defending dev choices or shooting down your concerns, merely pointing out that almost everything you’ve found for yourself has been mentioned, discussed, and worked on quite a bit with no sign of devs giving up on them. I can’t wait to see whether they succeed in delivering what we all hope they promised us👍
