This looked cool in the trailers but seems like the Early Access has been a bit of a dud. Should've just let it cook.

It definitely needed more time in the oven. Early Access is one thing, but when it's coming from a studio with the pedigree of Moon Studios, I think people are expecting it to be a bit further along a la Hades 2.

I think a lot of devs blow their load on EA then 1.0 takes too long, people forget about the game and just move on.
Game has < 200 players on avg now after blowing up a year ago

It looks dope but I am waiting for the full release. Dislike falling in love with early access unintentional features that get scrubbed for full releases.

Great game, played the shit outta the EA build. Honestly at this point I'd rather just wait for 1.0.

Glad that it survived the Private Division's sinking.
Cannot wait to dip again.

I already very much ejoyed the EA version so far and kinda don`t want to spoil the experience with overplaying the game before 1.0 even drops, but damn the content update for the 30th of April looks great.....

Multiplayer and Console Release
- Multiplayer when? Will be there a coop finally?
- We're working incredibly hard on finishing up Co-Op already. We don'g have a specific date yet, but Co-Op will be the next update right after The Breach.
- Is co-op just co-op or does that include pvp?
- While we've been playing PvP internally for quite some time now, there's a good chance we'll want to let PvP cook a little longer and release it as a separate update!
- Should we assume another 9 months down the road for coop?
- Hell no
- Is multiplayer not coming out this next update?
- It will not yet be part of The Breach Update, but the Update right after.
- Co-op still 4 players or 3 players? Is it already available?
- Co-Op will be limited to 4 players per realm in total, which means that you and 3 fans can play. Since Multiplayer works quite different in Wicked than it does in most other ARPG's, you'll want to share a realm with people that you consistently play with.
- Wasn't it possible to release The Breach and multiplayer at the same time?
- Quality always comes first at Moon. If we could've released Co-Op and Breach together, we would have. But we want each feature to shine and be fully featured before we release it.
- Will PvP still be a upcoming thing?
- Hells yeah!
- Will Moon have separate servers? Or use Steam ones? Will you have servers on different regions? You can't keep those servers forever right?
- We're working with a partner on this in order to provide servers globally.
- When the game comes out on consoles will it have crossplay?
- Yep, Cross-Play and Cross-Save.
- What about a potential console release?
- We're basically following the same formula Larian did with Baldur's Gate 3. We want to take the time in Early Access to really perfect Wicked so that we can then release Wicked on all major platforms at 1.0 at the level of quality that people expect from Moon Studios.
Updates, wipes and progress
- Should we expect a forced restart for each major update? Will there be more wipes after The Breach?
- No, don't worry. We'll only wipe when we deem it absolutely necessary and we'll advance that way in advance.
- Characters will be wiped? Will I need to do a new character? What about realms, are those wiped too?
- Yes, you will have to create a new character and a new realm in order to play The Breach. Old Characters and Realms won't get deleted, they will still be available in a Legacy Build.
- If you need to start a new save, what will happen to the Twitch drops?
- Everyone will get these now.
- So, there are only two major updates (Breach and MP) left until Wicked leaves Early Access?
- No, there will be more
- Will we have the full campaign at The Breach update?
- No, while we massively expanded the campaign, it's not the full content yet that we have planned for 1.0.
- What will happen with the Cerim armor?
- Everyone who bought Wicked during Early Access will have access to the Cerim Gear.
Content and Playability
- Will enemies spawn more often in the Open World?
- We've drastically improved our Alive System - you'll now see MANY more enemies and enemy factions spawn with all new states having been created for every single area.
- Aren't you worried that areas will lose their "identity" if any enemy can appear in them?
- No, we have a lot of things planned in that regard. And for The Breach, variety means more fun
- Can we get pets? Maybe at our house?
- Right now this is a wishlist item that we might or might not get to.
- Does farming come before or after the final act?
- Farming will be part of the Sacrament Update. Players will simply be able to buy farmhouses with farmland instead of just the houses you already know.
- Will we be able to replace runes or gems in this update? Or ever?
- This feature is currently not supported for The Breach… but we might still get to it!
- Are runes on shield coming with Breach or not?
- Nope, Shield Runes will be part of a larger Combat Update later down the road.
- Will we get "new uniques" with the Breach update?
- Yes.
- Will we have a job system in the future? Like Final Fantasy Tactics jobs/abilities system?
- Yes and it's gonna be great
- If there's more than one enemy, will the food limit stack or will I still have the 5 food limit?
- The Hunger Limit does not stack based on the number of enemies.
- Any news on an official Mac port?
- We'll have more news on that in the future. But feel free to let @Gennadiy know that you really want this!
- Are there any plans to introduce modding support?
- No plans to add mod support for the time being.
Story and World Map
- What's the size / gametime / playtime of Breach compared to Act 1?
- It's hard to put a concrete timestamp on this since all players play differently, but generally we doubled the content, so you should be able to spend at least twice the amount of time that you did before
- How much more story is there in this update?
- Much.
- Will Caylen be in the Breach update? Which areas will be added in The Breach update?
- Caylen will not be part of The Breach Update. The main new zones we're introducing are the Lowland Meadows and Marin Woods. Keep in mind that we also added new zones here and there as well
Mechanics and Balancing
- Did you address attribute requirements? Update for attribute points?
- We've tweaked a great many things about our stats - Please let us know how you feel about this system after you've experienced The Breach!
- What about lvl (level) limit? Will it be increased with The Breach?
- We're still limiting players to level 30, but we've been working on our experience curve and our stats in general, so your experience might be quite different than it was on the current LIVE build.
- Is exalting still the same?
- Exalting has been changed. But we don't want to spoil everything just yet.
- Did parry get improved?
- We've adjusted the timings of Parry.
- Has falling off ledges been reworked?
- After discussing this multiple times in our Community Discord Server, we've been advised not to introduce any form of 'ledge protection'. So please don't use any Dash ability next to a cliff.
- Is improved enemy AI planned for The Breach?
- Yes, all enemies already got a polish pass, learned some new moves and s on.
- Crucible will be the same as it is now?
- We've only adjusted things slightly for the Crucible. There is no added content, but you'll once again be able to gain experience in the Crucible. You'll also see item drops returning.
- Pestilence will keep repeating after defeating the boss? Or is it a one-time thing?
- Once the Pestilence spreads throughout Isola Sacra, all areas can become infected. You cleanse areas by defeating the Plagued Boss within the area. After that though, the area could become infected again.
- Will you remove daily and timed missions?
- No, but we plan on heavily improving these in the future.
- Will Finley still only there on Saturday mornings?
- We have not yet made any changes to Finley.
Sound and Music
- Is Gareth Coker coming back or is it just one song?
- Gareth is the official composer for No Rest for the Wicked now. He's working hard on providing a complete score.
- Is Gareth Coker redoing the entire score for Wicked or is he just contributing?
- Gareth is providing all-new music for No Rest for the Wicked.
- Is there a way of getting the OST at the end of the trailer? It's so good.
- We'll announce more regarding that in the future!
UI related
- Will we get PS button prompts?
- Yes.
- Our PFP is animated now in the game?
- Your Avatar in the top-left of your screen is now indeed a full 3d model instead of a 2d graphic.
Performance and Technical Questions
- Will we have new PC requirements?
- No, but you should see very nice performance gains in The Breach Update.
- Will Wicked have FSR4?
- Not for The Breach.
- How will these performance improvements impact Steam Deck?
- We've focused a lot on optimizing Wicked on Steam Deck - Please let us know more about your experience after you've played The Breach!
- What GPU was used during the performance graphs segment in Wicked Inside?
- Our testers played on numerous machines, hard to say. We're trying to ensure that Wicked performs well even on modest hardware.
Business Model and Marketing
- Will there be any paid DLCs or expansions? Still no MTX crap is the plan?
- Everyone who buys Early Access will be able to play ALL updates including having access to the full 1.0 Release of No Rest for the Wicked. After we reached 1.0, we intend to release bigger expansions to continue our journey. And indeed, we don't plan on adding any 'MTX crap'
- We don't have to pay for anything anymore, right?
- Correct!
Others
- Will you do another Wicked Inside for MP update, Sacrament update, combat update, etc.?
- Yes, we will produce more Wicked Insides for all the major updates within Early Access - and probably beyond
