_/¯I love Dune. You should give the book a read some time (if you haven't already). The movie is... alright. Check out the documentary on Jodorowsky's Dune some time.

Which movie - David Lynch's Dune or Jodorowsky's Dune?

What does this mean for the progress a I received my copy today. Does it make sense to play it now?

Hard to tell by the wording of the tweet. Just may be the discoveries that are wiped.
You can summon your ships at a landing pad, but you either need to hack it with a bypass chip or have enough of a good rep with the owners to access it.

If they're wiping servers then how does the Kotaku planet persist? Does wiping the servers wipe character progression but not names discoveries?
Interesting, thanks.
Definitely means progress and discoveries are getting wiped.
I figured that would probably be the case.
David Lynch's is an alright movie. Jordorowsky's dune is an interesting look at what could have been a neat movie. Both worth watching regardless.

Maybe the pressure is just that high on the surface of that planet... it's predicted that water should have 2 different liquid phases at low temperatures, as in much lower than 0C.

It pertains to all these press leakers and Gamestop employees that are playing/streaming the game before the release date - all thier discoveries will not be counted in the Atlas, as the server storing them will be wiped.
Everyone will get a fresh start when they receive their retail copies Monday evening.
Yup.

Looks like I was misunderstanding the tweet. The notification of server wipe was in response to the screen-capped quote off of Kotaku's site re: visiting planet "Harambe".
edit: Now I bet BT's gonna main NMS all weekend to grab that platinum before Tuesday and starting from scratch.

In theory, yep. There's a website out there that's encouraging people to screenshot their first planet as soon as they can and upload it so we can see the variety.

It would be super interesting if the Day 1 patch also included a new seed, to make everything truly unknown for all going in, even those current streamers.
Edit: Huh. BT just got attacked by what looked like an exact copy-- though a lot smaller-- of that moon-shaped headed creature DAYMEEUHN found a few days ago elsewhere.

Yeah I noticed after posting it. Was tempted to just delete it.
If there are any significant changes in the patch the internet will implode.
Well, bits of it.
I'm not expecting anything major. I am expecting some fairly significant incremental updates over time, though.
You called it - he just got banned.
"The community has closed this channel due to terms of service violations"
Worth noting that I've been watching several streamers for past few days on Twitch who haven't been banned. Every time they go offline people say "RIP" "banned" etc, but they always come back (except tigs)
Yep. I actually love that he's playing it like this, instead of going through the end of the galaxy bit. Like fuck it, imma walkin'.

Is all water shown so far crystal clear? Are there no murky bodies of water? And is there ever any waves? From what I seen so far, water seems pretty static. Waterfalls woulda been nice.

Yeah I'm looking forward to what small changes, usability wise, they implement with the patch. But a new seed shouldn't break the game though. The algorithm seems to be holding up from what limited slices we've seen. This would just throw the galaxy into the blender again so everything's fresh.
With a game like this with a team this size, I expect small changes in patches. Bethesda learnt the hard way a long time ago that even small changes and bugfixes can cascade into issues in other areas. I mean, seriously - these guys are a really small team with a procedural game where nothing else like it exists - those expecting PVP/clans/etc in patches probably want to wait for a sequel, because stability is going to be key here.
I would say he is getting mad at people bothering him about it. I think very few if any of gamers with early copy mind server wipe as it is unlikely to mess with local save files => local progess.

Right. I'm just thinking things like UI tweaks or inventory bugs, maybe an option to mute that notification voice and just display the subtitle (though that may already exist under options). This game is already what I want. Not looking for it to be anything more, personally.
Oh, sorry - I didn't mean you. I've just seen people elsewhere saying patching will add full multiplayer clan warfare (??), graphical upgrades, VoIP chat etc. Something tells me, if it's taken 4 years to get it this far - this is basically the game. Some tweaks, but if I was the devs I would change as little as possible as the QA resources Sony provides are probably already gone.
Haha yea that thing was cool.
Whole "NMS doesn't have mountains / lakes / grass" thing he is doing is about sub-reddit hyperbole.

Yeah, that thing looks bizarre. The game's throwing some really weird stuff up. I like.

How constant is the world?
e.g If I go to a planet and see a type of lifeform, will that lifeform be the same for anyone else who visits or is it completely randomised?

Wiping the servers is cool, glad they are doing that.
It's a seed, so everybody sees the same thing. However with 38493284932849328 planets (or whatever the number is) chances are you aren't even going to go to the same places as others almost of all the time.
