I'm not gonna lie... I played Life is Feudal for a solid 5 months with a small group making a pretty neat little fishing/trade hub where the dominant clans of the world we were in came through from time to time, every one of us had specific jobs that we had to perform, from being the village lumberjack and woodcarver, village miner and blacksmith, horse breeder, hunter and leatherworker (me), fisherman, etc. We even had to defend ourselves in sieges a couple of times after our small village grew large enough to be considered a small town and we decided to put up stone walls in order to defend ourselves. Life is Feudal was absolutely not a single player experience game at all, trying to do anything solo would be the worst thing I could ever think of. The game was hella jank, but it was fun while it lasted. RIP you magnificent bastard game, you. I'm gonna miss spending an entire week literally mining a mountain all the way down to ground level for stone and iron.

I played this game when it first came out. I sank +300 hrs into it. It was actually quite good for what it was trying to be, and the players I met made the most of it. My contribution could actually be seen from space (world map), it was a thin line running N-S in the passage between mountains in the far Northeast of the map. It is not a glitch, but a 2m wide highway, sculpted perfectly so that one would never lose speed on cart, horse, or foot. It actually got a lot of people talking, and dozens came from across the continent literally just to admire the road. The work of one player, affectionately dubbed "ROAD BOI!" I pioneered a siege tactic in the game that actually changed warfare FOREVER, using movable stairs and planks of wood. It spread quickly, as we taught our allies... and enemies who had their walls reduced to a speed-bump. There would have been more roads, connecting every major hold... alas Uni took its tole on my free time, and I had to stop playing a few months afterwards. Road boi was never seen again, his road degrading to a gravel line in the snow, but his siege tactic continued on... until they added climbing :(

@@mawdeeps7691 the game didn't really have great seige warfare, ie no seige towers or ladders, no battering rams, etc. Walls were great to have, as they kept people out during every hour but the raid hour. Then people could destroy them... eventually... The stairs required materials to be carried by several players from wherever you started, with a carpenter of a certain level to turn the raw goods to stairs and planks about 300 yards outside the enemy claim. Each piece would then have to be carried slowly up to the enemy wall as you were being peppered by archers. It was common for carriers to die and respawn miles away, and the stairs had to be placed perfectly or else it would not work, and by that point you were in the enemies face fiddling with the pieces. A mote made it more difficult, but clever engineering and teamork could overcome any fortification. The gap between multiple walls would have to be spanned by dropping planks to make a continuous gangway that was incredibly exposed and narrow. It turned seiges from literally bashing your head against the gate into a game of chess where defenders had to manage their flanks and stop the attackers slow advance at any cost. A suicide drop over the walls was common where they would destroy/move the bottom stair, so the whole process could take several attempts to get in. All very Helms Deep.

Things you wanted to sell in one pile, plot specific items in another, situational armour in a different one and so on. And it was also always nice from environmental storytelling as well, opening up a random backpack and seeing it full of junk, then a pixel glitters behind it all and you quickly toss everything aside to pull out a magical sword or something. Modern RPGs really throw you out of feeling like you're living in their world with thair very "boxy things in boxes" inventory.

This video brought back fond memories of a time in LIF MMO when it was alive and vibrant with people. Where you came across people everywhere you went. Where we had clans and alliances, huge forts and townships, where rival clans and alliances raided and we spent hour upon hour upon hour digging snow and mud and rock to make a road up our mountain. Where the outer walls of the town took many people hours and weeks to build (because the building system was complex and because for every meter of wall people had to cut wood and transport it to the builders, and mine stone and iron and transport all of that to the town for processing into usable materials for the builders. Where foresters spent their days planting trees and harvesting other parts of their forests just to supply the builders with materials. Where fighters and archers train for hours in order to defend against the inevitable raids and where some of us just spent all our time growing food and cooking it into meals for the rest of the clan. Despite the odd glitches and frequent crashes it was a wonderful world and community for a brief period of time. And then slowly people stopped logging on every day, and eventually disappeared until those left were not enough in number to maintain the walls and gates, grow and cook food, provide all the wood and other raw materials. Our world died before our eyes until only echoes remained. The sad end of a once alive and vibrant community.

I know this is a pedantic complaint but it's my pet peeve: 2:23 - the amount of RAM has next to no influence on your gaming performance as long as you are not actively running out of it. 16GB is plenty for any gaming machine and an upgrade to 32GB is fine if you use the machine for anything else that actually uses that much RAM. Otherwise use the money for a better GPU or CPU (in that order) or buy an SSD if you're still on a hard drive.

I was really into this game with my friend and a small clan we met right around its peak. We had a whole castle/town and each person fulfilled the potential professions, feeding raw materials and advanced crafting items into one another's professions, basically endgame. The best part was we were decently surrounded by aggressive Chinese and Russian clans that were constantly trying to destroy our settlement so we got to experience pretty much the best the game had to offer imo. When it clicked it was very cool, we'd just play music and chat in discord, trolling each other with meme songs while harvesting wood to repair the damage done by rival clan last night. Combat was wonky and broken by a few metas, which was a bummer because i love off meta builds, but shit like spears and archers was intended for these grand battles that never happened. In reality it would be 1-5 players engaging on horseback, eventually knocking one another off and going into melee. I think if the devs had been more realistic and scaled the features back to what the game had evolved into, rather than what they wanted it to be, it would have been a lot more successful. I eventually got bored because endgame pretty much required leveling up an alt which I couldn't bring myself to stomach. Definitely got my money's worth though, but would never have the time for something like this again.

RIP Life is Feudal MMO :( Aside from the new player experience of character creation, tutorial island, this game really shined when playing in a group and diving into the complex mechanics of crafting/fighting. It was a sandbox so the beginning tutorial "quests" were kind of an afterthought/poorly done just to get new players familiar with some mechanics but usually had the opposite effect. So many people had thousands and thousands of hours in the game and it was surely unique enough that we probably won't see anything like this game anytime soon

Forcing you to play with others to actually do stuff. No longer could me and my friend do stuff on our own, we had to have at least 10 people around. I dont remember what the change was, I just remember being angry and upset that, suddenly, I could no longer just run around building shit, and no config files allowed me to remove the new setting.

I have actually tried quite a few of these bad MMOs, especially the medieval ones, and also have been eyeing the "Life is Feudal" trinity for years, but those don't seem to get anywhere good, ever. Now there is one game I would like you to make a video about, which is not classed as an MMO, but it's a multiplayer-only online RPG, so maybe it still counts? The Black Death, a game with a lot of potential that has apparently been abandoned over a year ago, with the main guy allegedly pocketing a whole lot of money and buying himself a new house. Might be an interesting video topic, especially since what you had to say about DreamWorld.

I played this one at launch and frankly think I toughed it out longer than the majority... It was a rough ride, with JUST enough good that you could tell yourself it would smooth out and get worthwhile. It had so many things going for it, from a decent enough (when the lag wasn't awful) combat system that felt a bit like a better mount and blade, to good balance to the crafting, reasonable time sinks for reasonable rewards... Not two weeks after it dropped, they slowed mining down to 1/10th its previous speed, added piddly poorly thought out mini games to slow down gathering of most other resources, while at the same time spreading the 'special' resources (things you were meant to need to get from distant parts of the map, fueling trade and player interaction) evenly all over the map. In one patch it went from hopeful, with (attempted) trade caravans traveling to the south from our northern mountain base to trade for things and travel back, wars being fought and everyone learning the game together... to the MOST power-gamer rewarding MMO I've seen in years. Over night it went from a situation where I for instance could log in for 2-4 hours a day, train some skills do some hunting and some gathering and help out my small band of players.... to requiring at least 8 hours to accomplish the same thing, with CONSTANT input and attention. Couple this with the terribly handled PVP system as far as mechanics are concerned (basically you can't destroy or raid buildings outside a given weekly pvp window, encuraging random bands of assholes to wander the country side murdering loners and noobs because actual warfare wasn't allowed.), and server side issues that made the 'mmo' aspect kinda feel missing (you couldn't travel very far because every grid square on the map is its own server, and often your ENTIRE INVENTORY vanished when walking between them)... It just never came together. I'll still hold they were at their best day one, every change made since has been poorly planned and pandering to the 12 people playing the game 18 hours a day. On the plus side, the game once let me stand down a swarm of 30+ chinesse noobs in my plate armor with a battle axe and come out on top? That was fuckin fun.

That sounds awful, but honestly probably stems from the poor design idea of allowing players to permanently claim map tiles & resources. Probably thought that by slowing down gathering so dramatically, that the world wouldn't get totally exhausted by players as fast.
@reidwallace4258
Жыл бұрын
@@Ventorath Oh no, the world would have never been exhausted! Your mine filled in and all the ore respawned every few days, that was one of the big time-sync changes! People had just spent 2 weeks digging deep mines to get iron and silver, only for their mines to fill themselves back in over night and the whole process to start over. The game's real problem was a poor method of scaling. The stand-alone server version was 100x better and more fun while it lasted, because it focused on the functional bits. They ruined those functional bits trying to scale it up to MMO size, then they ruined it even further trying to work around those problems. For instance. Players often lost items when traveling long distances and crossing server boundries. This caused problems with the idea of having like, good wood spawn in the mountains and rare ore spawn in the desert or what have you, the idea HAD been that past a certain early teir of building things would start to need resources from all over the map, meaning groups would be forced to trade... But with issues moving resources long distances, they decided to evenly distribute the items everywhere... But that made things way too easy, so they reduced the gathering times and upped the rarity of those items... So what had started as 'gather your local high tier resource and travel to distant lands and trade it for their resource, allowing both groups to advance' turned into, 'Spend 50 hours doing the same thing in the hopes you get the rare drop, then once you do go do that for the next gathering skill, and the next one.'. The tile claiming was actually handled fairly well, with clans able to claim large areas and then allow members or allies to claim their own personal lands inside that. The problem with the claim system was time zones. They rapidly realized that people didn't like waking up to find their two weeks of hard work burned to the ground by greifers while they slept... but they also didn't want to make destroying things too time consuming and boring... So instead they made a limited window every weekend for war, and the rest of the time you could only hurt/kill people and loot their bodies... This of course made traveling/trading even worse, combat boring, and meant if you worked on the weekends you may as well play another game. All in all, they had a really solid little game, but spent far too much time and energy on weapon skins and marketing, without ever ironing out the tech needed to make their game... actually work. Its called pulling a star citizen I think?

As much as you hated that inventory system, it CAN be done well, at least in my opinion. An older RPG, called Divine Divinity, used that sort of system as a way to make a few puzzles and add a little depth to their looting. Your personal inventory could be sorted with a button, separating everything out neatly, but I'm pretty sure most treasure you found in the wild could not, resulting in the often randomly generated loot being piled in boxes haphazardly like one would expect to find them in some dungeon. Most of the time it was randomly generated, but not always, as the game used this sort of system to play with perspective and create puzzles. Open a chest in some catacomb and you'll find rotting clothes and piles of muck, and a normal person would move on, but if you took the time to actually look at it you'd see a faint glimmer behind the muck and, moving it aside, find a gem or gold or enchanted armor hidden away where no previous looter before had found. Like the rest of the game, it rewarded the clever and observant without directly harming the unwary. In my opinion, it added even more value to the reward of actually finding something neat hidden in a chest beyond just finding the chest itself, sometimes, in a way that you can't get with neatly organized loot boxes and pretty colored outlines would allow.

I played this game for a lot when it came out, we had a lot of fun with it, suprisingly, it ran better than you've shown here, the game had a lot, and i mean A LOT of politics, but it came with a lot of fascination for the world and who could get what sooner. The map was so big, and travelling the lands so slow that i really felt confined to the zone where my group was, we founded a city and saw it grow, we fought with whoever tried to claim the lands close to us, we were one of the biggest towns on the south and being isolated we really felt like the big fish in the small tank, then we got horses, and with them the possibility to explore. We built bridges and terraformed the land, extracted ore from the mountains and grew forests around the city. We really forged alliances, made friends, went to war and won even lost some aswell, yeah, sure it was a grind, but for me it delivered the freedom SO many MMORPGS fail to deliver, and even in its buggy state i will remember this game fondly.

The sad thing is this game actually looks like it could have been fun, I love games like Valheim and V Rising so the idea of building a village then a town and trading or fighting other players sounds really cool. HOWEVER... as was mentioned in the "hardcore" PvP video that wouldn't work as an MMO, it'd only work as a game where you play with friends, as otherwise 1 person would create a huge town and sally forth to kill everybody, and if you limit how much land you can build on then it likely wouldn't be long till you were at the max and had nothing left to do. Once again what could be a really cool idea is basically dead in the water because people suck to much for it to work. Honestly I feel like this works better in non-MMO format because you want to have a map this big, but only have like maybe 50 people on it so theres lots of room for everybody, and at that point why make it an MMO?

Hey, I know this video is nearly a year old, and I'm still working up through your other content (really enjoying it, btw), but I figured I'd note that that primary determinant of graphical performance is your graphics card. Another commenter noted that an i7 4xxx isn't that great in 2020, but it's plenty for this genre if paired with the right GPU. Graphical performance in all games is about balance - balance between components and balance with the right resolution. So if you have a high end CPU, as you do, paired with an entry level graphics card, performance in games with demanding engines will suffer. In that case, changing graphics settings usually won't do much - changing resolution might. Next time, try going lower than your native res. Any other year, I'd say try to get a new GPU, but there's currently a global shortage of high-end GPUs and prices for those available are... prohibitive.
