Question at launch will it be needed to use steam? Like if I will have a option not to use steam? Or is it a must?

As I said in another thread I quote: For the people who are into it I think there should be a option for some motorcycle choppers like a 2005 American IronHorse Legend or a 2017 Honda Fury. I personally would like something that is on and off road bike like a BMW R1200GS Adventure or 2017 KTM Freeride E-XC.

Again have you ever experienced what your talking about in any game?(I have for both cases.) In second life you also see absolutely nothing if you use a blindfold that completely takes out your vision. In a game that is a far amount bigger and more complicated then this game will be. Again you can untie your self and, remove the blindfold. You act like everything can't get out of it. Even with your hands tied you could still remove the blindfold. Again even something second life had is being bounded. Of course it isn't second life or ark or any game. Yet you your self are acting like you already know 100% how it will work and play out. Like you have already played the game. So how can you say oh it is not second life or ark but yet go into how it will be. We do not know how it will or will not fully. May as well just say I don't know and end it there. Since we got nothing to talk about if you ignore every game that has done similar systems.(Talking in hyperboll does not do anything for anyone.) Like I have said it is way to easy. No challenge if you can see threw the blindfold. My as well just scrap the idea completely. The captor is better off taking you into a van with no windows. An blocking off the front. Depending on how the third person camera works. If it locks you into the van and can't see threw the van or take your third person camera out of the van. If it did these things you wouldn't be able to see still. (This is all based on experience I have had in other games. So I am not talking in hyperboll.)

Yet in second life you were able to. Even if you were fully blindfolded. It is possible to escape. It is super easy to escape if you were to see. At that point there is no reason for a blindfold of any type. So yeah in my experience you saying impossible is incorrect. You still can take off the blindfold which people who dislike the idea keep ignoring. The blindfold is not forever locked onto the character. The blindfold wouldn't work it being locked on to the character. Again you are better off just not having a blindfold at all if you can see threw it. Hell even in ark you could knock someone out so they can't see and still you could escape after you wake up. Not impossible. The issue with ark is that it puts you completely out of control when you get knocked out like that. Yet again having a blindfold wouldn't knock you out it would just make it so you can't see. You would still be in full control being able to run away and again being able to remove the blindfold. Edit: btw you may not like my weapon ammo ideas but the developers them self had similar ideas they talked about doing.

It may take awhile but if all fails for you. You could request for a refund. Something they do not need to do sure. Yet it is something they have done in the past. Just can take awhile to get to your message after you email them. So you do not have much to worry about that.

Something you should note you can't please everyone. If you can't see you can't get sick. The issue with first person and people getting sick anyway relates to the fov not first person as a whole. You should also realize some people get sick in third person. This is again because of the fov. If your view is totally blinded by sound you can have a rough idea where your headed as well. You do not need to see to escape. Anyway they could still have it so you can take it off the blindfold. It wouldn't be locked to one person. This is a blindfold or bag. Your issue with the weapon is they could add a inspect option on it where it shows the amount on the gun. Or just doing it gives you the number you have left. No need a hud persay there. They could even still have that information on the phone where your ammo amount is listed there. No need to have a always up floating hud. Again like I have said I would prefer complete blindness. Just make the act of escaping more fun. Even if one of the first acts to escaping is to remove the bag/bindfold from your head. One must also note there will be servers if there is a option where it forces everyone who plays there in first person. Since a good deal of people call third person camera cheating. I also do not understand how you can talk about braking immersion when you have a free floating third person camera. Last I checked that is not how it works in the real world either. If anything I would like if they had third person relied on using some drown that could be shot down. I doubt that would happen though.

What has been said a few times is yes some will increase in price. Also has been said some packs will go away. If they still do this during the final say who knows. You may get a chance to see before it goes away. Like a week. Or they may just release that video which shows what it will be like. It is a risk are you willing to take?

I have not seen that said but one thing you got to realize. Just because they are in a polishing up phase does not mean it is almost done. There is a good deal of bugs that need to be fixed and squashed. Depending on blockers or major bugs that pop up is the factor on how fast they can get done. After some bugs get fixed other bugs can come right up. What is also possible is the same bug coming back again after you fixed another bug.

I feel it is closer to a virtual world like Second Life or InWorldz, Ourworld, Entropia Universe, Twinity, and so on and so forth. Not what I view as a mmorpg. So it is more what I would call a virtual world mixed with a life simulator. To me it is another kind of game completely then a just a rpg of sorts.

Oh okay my bad. You could though still escape by using sounds. Like they did it with Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice. Or that other indie game called the THE TOWER. How they could do it here is just increase the environment sounds a bit. Even if not the process of escaping could be taking the bag on your head off. An finding your way back to civilization. To me these ideas make it more fun with escaping. I wouldn't want to basically have a cheat to know where I am headed too. I would like to have to find my own way back. Also that would be more realistic. That is just me though. You are right though a people may not like that much. Since a good deal of people do not like it where the game takes control away from them. So it is best over all so the player feels like they always have some sense of control.

Oh I didn't tie the roommate to that since they are family.

Not sure how hard it would be to do obscure your vision entirely. When third party's have done such a thing in second life. They basically would create a hud that covered the screen. So it worked in first person and third person. Some even forced you into first person.

Hmm either Doctor Who or Sliders for that last bit. If neither well then you really should check them out. To op good luck with picking out a roommate.

I think it is more important to have stuff to do then it is to have a big map. You can have a big map and it being empty but having not much to do. When if you did the same amount on a smaller map it could feel like there is a good deal amount to do. This has to do with everything is closer. Not split apart with nothing in between. Sure you can start with a big open map. Yet I think it is better to build as you go. When it comes to map sizes. If you need a bigger map for the more content your adding then you increase the size a bit bigger then your need. Fill it up again and then make it bigger. At least this is how I see it. Yes do note you do not want the map crowded either. You want some space in between stuff so it feels more realistic then just everything mashed together.

No they said they want to keep it fun so I do think you will be okay. If you can always ask them your self in there streams. Tuesday Thursday and Wednesday they stream. If you want it from there. Do note you may end up needing to ask a few times for a few days before they answer your question. They do get a good deal of questions on there streams.

I plan to doing medical work to help people recover and stuff. I plan to ride my motorcycle to work change and go from there.(I guess you change into work clothing at work. More so jobs like being a cop ,fire department and the medical field.) I may end up doing more as well just depends.

No. Just something I have always liked the idea. Having my own studio apartment. Some of that could very much come from some of the designs I have seen of studio apartments. They look so much different to me from one to another. House designs just all blend together for me. Some studio apartments even have a "second floor". Some are very open. Some I have seen are semi open. Some even look like a big hallway almost.

The information I got during a stream was that it will be more compacted then fantasy games. An how you need to know what you are doing.

So logging off in your home sounds the safest.

They are that important lol. Well only seen this one so I posted here. Then realized the other one then posted there. Since I talked about wondering if it will be more detailed or not here. I decided to post it here since it was relevant to what I said earlier. I do honestly think they both need to be merged with each other though. Not sure if that can be done in these forums or not. Edit: Why the op did it could of been a double post that was not deleted earlier.

Okay sorry didn't know just wanted to send my support if there were any.

Are they all in Canada even some of there new hires? Then we can go into where there data base is. Also any backers or forum goers hope they stay safe too.

Not sure where you are located but if it is in Texas be safe during that category 3 hurricane. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/hurricane-harvey-forecast-gulf-coast-texas-louisiana

I was there during the stream. I personally do not care about release dates.(Good information for people who do.) They are fluid anyway. I still will check it out though. I liked some of the information I was able to get out of the stream. I was only going on about who will get access to the town square module or not. That is where my confusion was.

Sadly I never been able too. So I want to be able to at least in game. (Yah I know not the same as real life but still.)
