I'm not really to worried about increasing the hazard/risk, either. That will just be part of the game. On the other hand, I can foresee them making low risk servers to appease those folk who will inevitably demand something similar to the current alpha experience. rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-55119499380716553652014-02-10T08:23:10.810-06:002014-02-10T08:23:10.810-06:00I don't think it's chatter about the veins...I don't think it's chatter about the veins going underground. That was always the intention - the current surface model is just a temporary bodge to get us through this phase before the full underground biomes come in. Prospecting below ground for ores is going to be a substantial part of the gameplay I believe. They've already said that making people just tunnel randomly in the hope of hitting what they need won't work (i.e. won't be entertaining) so there will be some form of location system but they haven't said what. The days of having everything lying on the surface are limited though.<br /><br />As I commented elsewhere, I would guess that (bugs and glitches aside) early alpha will be one of the easiest times to play Landmark. As well as having resources right up there in plain view on the surface there are no aggressive monsters, no falling damage, no death mechanism, almost every type of wood and plant material drops off almost every tree and so on. Really, most of the gameplay isn't in at all yet. <br /><br />On the other hand, there will be an auction house and a Station Cash shop and if all you want to do is build you will probably be able to buy your way out of having to gather or mine at all, so it's swings and roundabouts I guess.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.com
