This game just finished? Guess I should revisit, it's been years. I thought it released a while ago.

    It was in Early Access phase the whole time. Compared to AAA publisher, they had declared this game not being finished yet.

    The whole two years. Such a long early access period.

    Not really. I would consider 2 years pretty average. Some games get abandoned in less time, some are in early access for double the time. Some games are basically complete and are only in early access for a few months. I don't have a problem with any approach, as long as the game is getting worked on of course.

    I knew this annoying dude who would always confidently declare that Pocketpair were doomed and that Nintendo was just waiting for the perfect time to completely destroy them. I don't know why, but he seemed to almost look forward to that, it was weird.

    Apparently game fans in Japan and Korea are culturally opposed to any form of game mimicry. They were decidedly on Nintendo’s side and were rooting for pocketpair’s downfall.

    Which is weird because I feel like every game is “x game but with y”, but online spaces love to form one correct opinion and drown out all other perspectives.

    Had honestly expected the game to have been nuked to the ground by Nintendo by now. Glad it survived! May have to revisit it!

    I didn't realize it was going 1.0 on the 10th, I just grabbed it in the summer sale. Nice.

  • I'm gonna start anew a private server. My group of friends played the hell out of this for months until there was nothing else to do. I kept playing just building new bases, it was my jam. We decided to give it a pause and retake the game after 1.0. Now's the time, we're starting from scratch and I already have an idea for a new base on top of the massive stone pillars in the central part of the island. Can't wait for tomorrow!!

    I’m not disputing that Palworld isn’t popular, but I hate when companies advertise with “40M players”

    40M purchases is fine, which is very impressive for a paid game. If I buy a game, never play it or play it once, then I’m not ‘playing’ that game.

    Well they cant say 40M owners because that would be a lie as well.

    “Copies sold” is a much better measure

    It bugs me when GW2 also does this with “over 12 million players” when actually it’s registered accounts.

    I know people who have and use multiple POF accounts obtained freely, including a guy who literally has 83 accounts and uses them all every reset.

    Can we still use our old saves in 1.0? I kinda want to start a new game but I'm so used to flying around on my jetdragon, I don't think I'll be able to go back to walking everywhere! It'll take quite a while before I'll be able to craft the item you need to ride them if I start over

    You can use the same save file. The devs did recommend starting over though as a lot has changed. You can use the global palbox to store pals you want to transfer between saves.

    I might just bite the bullet then. Maybe I'll build my first base in a more sensible location this time!

    Yeah, I guess I will start over. I haven't really been following it so I'm not sure what changes they've made but I guess I'll find out tomorrow

    I am figuring on playing Palworld again about a month after launch. Modders will have some work to do to bring their stuff up to date, dealing with the influx of players, week 1 super-patching, and so forth. Gotta let such teething issues of a launch to be ironed out.

    In particular, I want to have gliding pals and pokeball throwing back again.

  • Have there been a ton of big content changes since the EA launch?

    I know they changed a ton of features like pet mounts and pokeball throwing due to morally reprehensible, anticompetitive nin lawsuits. That stuff can be modded back in - but I looked at a recent map and wasn't sure how much it's really changed over time or how many new things have been added.

    What i'm hoping for is substantial improvements to base management and the metagame, along with loads of new pals. The bosses also seemed kind of weird compared to the rest of the game so changes to that / the story would be huge improvements for me too.

    I guess I should look this stuff up.

    I am a Palworld enjoyer.
