Testing the New Universe Feedback

[Kirinvar]

I dare to say doing the tutorial quick is faster then skipping it due to the exp rewards.

[Barneylee57]

i know its only test but 100% zero high end resorces (i have auto light skill) and been under water at bottom of planet and no gold/silver etc (Dor/Marvoni/Omega)

[Hashmalash]

On marvoni starter planet trhere is no silver or gold. so we are unable to travel to other planets. bug probably? with resource distriobution?> @james

[Barneylee57]

unless they are just teasers because its test?

---

it was mainly to test login so i am just supposeing

[Hashmalash]

well if they want us to test machines and other things they did in last patch then it is not teasing cause we need to go to other planets to do it

[Barneylee57]

i know this is why i also reported it here >>>

But also read the op we are mainly just testing authentication etc

Update to testing universe

We’ve just pushed a new release out to testing to test some infrastructure changes ahead of the upcoming new live universe release. This testing version is based on a completely fresh universe so if you try it out you’ll need to create a new character when you log in. The main change we want to test is that this release is now performing user authentication against a new backend server system. We’re populating the new backend server with all your existing user accounts, so if you’ve already be…

and agreed with you above (not having a go, but it does make sense that we dont have it all… unelss i am just second guessing?)

when I was a new player I placed a beacon before the tutorial asked… way back 6 months ago… Today I did the same thing and but it was worse this time because I actually had to put up a second beacon to actually do the fuel thing because you can’t put fuel on a fueled beacon… the whole Hey stop your waisting fuel issue… That complicated bye the fact I had to level up to buy plots to be able to place second beacon on a new set of plots lol…

[Sulfurblade]

New Issue I am noticing

Maybe a bug OR
Maybe working as intended?!?

Atlas for things like Tech Components and Iron etc only works Underground now!

[Barneylee57]

is this on test? donn’t you need a few highend mats we cant currently get there yet for an atlas?

[Sulfurblade]

Of course it on test sorta the purpose of this feedback thread lol…

And an Atlas only takes “Glass and Copper” nothing hard about that…

[Barneylee57]

they changeed the recipe then… my bad (last made on a few months ago)

Like i said above right after the OP, there is already a thread on this:

@Tobelawe

Just want to clarify a few issues. The resources are as intended. There is no silver/gold or tech components on the starter worlds. We should have changed the recipe for warp augments and moved them onto the workbench. As the compactor requires resources that are not on starter worlds we will have to do something to communicate the need to travel to other higher tier planets to progress.

[Barneylee57]

wait… i just found out… you can get silver/gold from metors on the planets and the tech etc are found on the other planets…

So still no idea how anyone got to a second without the other tech lol

[Sulfurblade]

So here I am searching for tech components that don’t exist and that is as intended??? Refinery Needs those Tech components to make… ???

So people starting on the low tier planet shouldn’t be able to make a refinery???

[Xaldafax]

You really need to read the thread for where they asked us to test the new universe… that has become kind of the bug report and comment section… a new thread like this probably isn’t needed. Maybe we just use that and not have 2 going…

Update to testing universe

I just created a new account today with an instant access key and can’t seem to log into the testing universe. I can log into live fine but when I log into test it tells me “the username and password entered does not match our records”. Any ideas on how to fix it? Would love to check out the new world!

[ElfMarine]

Several recipes were changed. Welcome to a new universe with new recipes and commands.

@willcrutchley

The issue with skipping this tutorial is the rewards you get, and where do you cut it off? I still think it’s helpful to go through again regardless, so if it gets fixed then that’s all good right?

I think it would work well if there were an option for alts to go through an abridged tutorial that gives the same total rewards but has fewer milestones. So like, maybe the first objective would be to place a beacon and completing it would give you all the rewards you would have gotten up to that point. And so on.

If that were done many new people would also skip the tutorial as they do in other games. Then, as in other games they would whine they didn’t know things that are in the tutorial and say they were never told. If people want to skip the tutorials (even alts it is often good to see what changes have been made in tutorials and learn new things) then let them. Have something they can check to skip the tutorial that reminds them they will skip over and possibly miss new information and will also miss getting all experience and rewards contained within tutorials. Don’t reward people for not doing the activity the reward was meant for. lol

[ceresward]

I get what you’re saying. But once 1.0 hits I doubt the tutorial will change significantly after that. If it does, sure, make everyone do it again at least once.

I’ve played through the tutorial enough times now to know that I’d rather just skip wood tools and go straight to stone. I don’t really have that option right now though. Also when you’re moving efficiently the tutorial tends to get a little “spammy”. Too many bells and whistles. New players move more slowly so that’s fine, they need the encouragement. I just want to get through it.

Thats why I said give the option of skipping the tutorial. People do skip it now. However, if you choose to skip the tutorial then you also should be skipping all rewards contained within the tutorial. It’s a person’s choice. If they are in a hurry then skip the tutorial and skip it’s experience and rewards as well as any new information contained in the tutorials. I have probably been through the Boundless tutorial over ten times. Not a problem. Sometimes I learn as even after 1.0 things will sometimes change or be added.
