Here's my opinion having played the beta and the new car smell has already worn off; it's a very wide but extremely shallow experience. The game play is one note, with boss fights that are hit point sponges and a gear progression system that just baffles me. And the fact the game will wipe the servers forcing progression restarts is a very instant no.

Almost certain a few things will suck because they suck now, but are likely design choices because MMO type games are supposed to be time sinks and I just disagree with any and all developers mentality about how to create a time sink or grind loop. The ammo grind is dumb since melee is not viable, so its going to be heavily monetized since the game is free to play. The base building requires heavy daily investment depending upon the size of base you build and what materials used to build it. Not sure why your base is decaying each day. I've been on it since Dec 7th so I think of it as more like a survival looter shooter, it is not an RPG. You have no role to play. You don't need teammates to do anything you cannot, since you can eventually do everything on your own. No weapon trading. No armor trading. No player market. The only reason you need a teammate is to deal with bosses that summon 30 adds because otherwise you have no time to reload and you dont have enough ammo for infinite bullet sponges and you never will. You must grind ore, use acid to make weapon powder and make ingots to make ammo out of weapon powder before taking on anything serious. This can take time you may not want to spend because a failure means you have to spend another real life day grinding mats to get the ammo needed to go a 2nd round on a boss with no explained mechanics. It has a lot of things that I think are cool, but I'm not certain I'll continue to play on release because of daily log in gifts which promote fomo, unnecessary progress sinks like acid which is needed for ammo, aluminum and tungsten ingots for weapon and armor upgrades, and other important things you actually cannot get in any other way. The wish machine will likely be monetized because that's where you get interesting weapon and armor blueprints and that will probably push me right out. Also it is not a zombie survival MMO. The main focus is not zombies, zombies just exist in the world, but there is no horde behavior, zombie infection, zombie invasions or anything remotely similar. So it is not a zombie survival game.

Monetizing the Wish machine would certainly be a huge issue with the game, since your right, any interesting gear only comes from that. It's also time gated behind Starcrone grind and server season progression. I imagine the daily log in rewards wont be as big of an issue, right now it seems like beta speed up mechanic so you don't wait as long for things like energy. I hope they add in a decay timer before using the mats or at least reduce the amount that is needed, there's some much space on the map that there isn't really an issue with over crowding and its not like you can have multiple single bases. You're also right there is no mechanics related to a zombie infection, however that is how the Stardust is mentioned in the story and is just a way of describing why the world is the way that it is.

Sharing for others awareness. I just learned Once Human is currently planned to be seasonal with progression wipes after each season. With seasons only lasting six weeks total. This was from a Twitch stream by KingGothalion with Starry developer Derek. This is a huge bummer to me as I am not a fan of seasons in general but six weeks is super short. I feel like that is no time at all before losing everything. I plan to try to provide feedback to at least let us have the option to stay on a single server with our progression. Something similar to a game like Diablo IVs seasonal servers versus main servers. Perhaps if enough people know about this we can find a happy middle ground. As I know a lot of people like the idea of having a new challenge in the form of resets. I would even feel better if they just let you keep blueprints or have the option to anyway. But what does everyone think?

If it works like that then I will prolly play it a little then go to something else, Seasons are a good way to implement stuff for ppl to do on live service games, but resets are just bad design, done to force you to regrind and expend more time on the game than it actual needs(since you`re redoing content over and over again) , they should take a look more at destiny than diablo imo, since even if destiny is currently going thru a poor quality content crisis, it still shows a really good and efficient way to manage a live service..... either that or just give the player options to host their own servers with custom rules like conan or V rising, at least we have the chance to see a thriving modding community like in conan which will add loads of content.

@@heliosdrachenys They did say they will be looking into private servers as well which could fix it. I would just assume that if that is the case it will be like Conan and Ark and we will have to pay monthly. I am sure many people would not think it is worth it. I know Derek the developer wants this game to succeed. It is something completely unique not in content but in its variety of mechanics and ideas. I think they have a good chance of making the game amazing if they listen to the communtiy.

It becomes an after thought once you have played for a while. Only takes wood and a food type to cook a basic item. I just stock up and let them slowly decay in my inventory. Once you unlock the fridge food isn’t even a thought anymore.
