If you are a reviewer/streamer on PC, we'll be setting up a keymailer for you. We'd love you to play as soon as it's ready. BUT NOT BEFORE

Damn, had several streams up to watch, they're being banned en masse at the moment.

Edit: Wow, never seen so many streams get banned at once. One dude who was streaming said to chat "I'm gonna keep going until I get banned" and not even 3 seconds later, boom.
 
Does that mean a new world will be generated?

Man..I wonder how that works...

...Like when they said 19 quinitillion, I figured that you could reach every one of those. That is, that if you spent the time, you could find like worlds.

But if the only seed that is 'saved' is the Euclid Galaxy(And thus the one everyone starts off on), and every time you go to the centre the seed gets randomized....

...have we seen 2 streamers go to the centre and have the same options for next galaxy? I heard something about inputting your own 'seed' before you got warped to it...

..hrm...
 
I'm really not sure how i feel about them doing this, just because some people got this early

I'll tell ya what, this better not be a common thing.
Otherwise this will deleted of my games quicker than any other.
I'm not going to be investing my time in exploration and utilizing their biggest drawcard for their game, only to, be doing it all over again and again and again.

Why would it happen more than once? PS4 and PC aren't cross play.

I don't understand ? Why would this be a common thing? They're doing it once before the game officially launches and that's it, I don't get the concerns tbh. It literally doesn't affect you.

If you are reviewing/playing our game without our update, on a leaked copy, then please don't. It's not what players will experience.

Does this imply that the update they've been working on WILL be ready for launch?
 
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I'm not referring to Cross Play.

I'm referring to Discoveries made, and will be wiped at Launch.
And whether, this is going to be a common thing, generally.

Why would a dev that made a game about discoveries consistently wipe those discoveries though? It's quite a leap.
 
It seems like a given that they would give the servers one last wipe before the game officially launches. I don't see that as a precedent for them doing it periodically.
 
I got the game and about to start. Anyone interested in me streaming from the beginning on twitch? id try to set up a secret password protected channel for GAF if that works

Yep. Sounds more like they prefer people not experience it as it is now. Gives off a bad impression of what they intend it to be probably?

Because being cross play would be the only thing that makes sense for them to wipe it more than the one time. You said you don't want to have to do it over again and again and again. They're doing it once before the game even launches, so unless you have an advance copy it won't even affect you.

I'm not saying that they are, just concerned IF they did...

And since, people have got they game early and have already invested their time, and now they go to do it again. That would piss me right off, if i was them.

And the concern would be, because if they wanted to do it again.
Sorta like a Maintenance,lol.

Wow. I mean, could an update make for such a wildly different experience? What I'm seeing is already fantastic. I'll be interested to see what exactly the big difference is.

They're playing the game early, those are known risks for playing any game early, especially if it has any sort of online component, which this does. I really don't see the issue, and I don't really care about the feelings of the people playing early right now.

The balancing changes alone could huge. The economy, the amount of life and available resources, gear progression, fuel/life support consumption etc...adjusting and fine tuning the myriad of systems in NMS will largely determine players' experiences.

Hmm, sounds like a meaningful day 1 update. Good, hopefully the patch doesn't get delayed.
