So one thing I have noticed, the Izverg attacks seem to happen way less, unless it just seems that way cuz I'm I'm gaf town. But if it was changed I don't think it should have. U feel like the only reason to have a shotgun is I'd you bum rush an island and that's if you notice the island first. I know part of its because I'm in gaf town this time but everything feel way less chaotic. Right now I feel like the combat aspect is really down played. I've only had to use my shotgun once in town so far, I'm not sure I'd this was toned down from the complaints. If it really is going to be like this I almost feel like 2 island should be up at one time and have a bigger effort to clear an island of monsters before it can be gutted. Idk I just feel like it's not balanced well for a bigger population.

Chose Continue and rode the subway for a while until the game finally crashed. This time I chose Select Town and picked Ogalysk or whatever it was called where we were last time; it says Spatenfloot is there. /shrug Anyway, riding the subway again. If I can't make it, I'll try that new G-town folks are talking about.

Broadcasting while not crashed, and I've enabled archiving, so we should be able to watch them for a couple of weeks, apparently. http://www.twitch.tv/theserversurfer

Oh, one thing I noticed is that when you initially go to Town Select at the beginning, instead of seeing the actual filter description, it just shows #(Filter_Description_Text)* for a few seconds, and the table is unpopulated and you can't change filters.

Probably server loads, but worth noting.

*From memory, since it happened the first two times, and now I can't reproduce it. :p

It's not in the changelog. They're easier to take down though.

-Measures to avoid disconnection from the game server.

We have added TOWN SELECT to the title menu to allow players to select other towns when experiencing disconnection issues. Should you experience an error while travelling to other towns, please close and restart the application, select TOWN SELECT from the title menu and choose a town that is different from your previous destination.

-Fighting Izvergs are now easier

Many players pointed out that Izvergs attacks are too frequent. In order to address this, we have reduced the price of high performance weapons as follows:

- EagleCorp Shotgun Before: $100 After: $75
- EagleCorp Launcher Before: $250 After: $200

Additionally, to allow players to use the Anti-Izverg Turret consistently, we have adjusted the difficulty of creating Anti-Izverg Shells by no longer requiring the presence of a “Police Booth” in town.

-Allowing more facilities to be built in town

The following facilities' construction costs have been reduced to allow more facilities to be built in town. In order to build more facilities, you will need to develop your town by leveling up the Town Hall or increase the Magnitude Mandate limit by building Monuments.

- Domicile Before: 20 After: 10
- Ministry of Labor Before: 100 After: 50
- Rescue Apparatus Before: 100 After: 50
- Police Booth Before: 30 After: 20
- Tool shops Before: 30 After: 20

-Adjusting the Disassembler

We have adjusted the Disassembler so that facilities cannot be destroyed easily.

- Normal tool use Before: x10 After: x3
- Black Market Use Before: x30 After: x10
- Black Market price Before: $100 After: $200

-Frequently asked questions
1) I can’t change the camera settings during the tutorial.

The camera setting will become available once you complete the tutorial. Once you have entered a town, open OPTIONS to change the camera settings.

2) I died because Retashi (killer mosquitos) would not stop following me.

Retashi lock onto a player and follow them. You can escape by leaving enough distance between yourself and the Retashi, or you can attack them with a Shotgun which is the most effective tool to eliminate them. Press the L2 button while holding a Shotgun to aim and R2 button to fire.

3) I can't identify the facilities
When you look to the facility while in first person view, the facility name will appear. If the facility name does not appear, you may be too far away from the facility. Move closer to the facility and switch to first person view.

Went to a different town instead of GafTown 2.0 (which looked gorgeous btw). I decided to go to a deserted town to see if it needed help.

Lol yep it did. It lacked wood and everything. I decided to put some samplings and went around looking for wood in the islands. Found some, took them home, cut down my seedlings and planted a few new ones. Someone who I played with followed suit too, and called me off when I cut some of the seedlings I planted to help repair some stuff during an invasion. Somehow, it's more fun being part of a small town that needs help, rather than helping out a big town like the GafTowns.

Oh well, might play with this town tomorrow. I am enjoying this game though.

The frustrating thing with this (atleast in the beta) is small unorganised towns get to a certain size then everything goes to shit because people leave and seemingly very little join so its impossible to sustain.

Yeah, that happened with mine, was heavily stocked when i had left it last night but this morning half the buildings were on fire and not enough wood was available to repair them.

Someone did manage to build a Town Hall though after i had left so that is something...

I did learn something new while playing though, I always thought the shovel was for simply digging down, had no idea you could dig into walls and create steps to get into higher places.

This beta is confusing me. What's up with completely featureless train ride that can't be skipped or anything? how long should it go for?

Just waking up, will go back to try to catch some issues. Of what we know so far:

-the bus getting stuck is still a known issue, comprehensive fix planned for release
-"Continue" not a good option. I Continued on first booting yesterday and got the fail to connect message, but town select was ok.
-looking into long loads, times vary.
-looking into the crash from loading
-At least one island should be up at all times or with a very short interval between the disappearance of one and the appearance of another. Any noticeable lapse is a bug.
-for those in the EU, the link/APACHE thing is being followed up. In the meantime please contact SCE Europe customer support.

Well, this has been a bust. I was hoping for more than just off-hours playtimes. Not one window has been accessible for me. Guess I'll have to stick to YouTube.

Well this has been pointless. When I signed up for the beta i thought it'd be, you know, playable during the beta period, not "playable only during odd hours". I'm still going to get the game but this has been a bust. Time for YouTube I guess.

Still another 11 hours to go.
I'm going to try hop back on after work to see if anyone has restored the smouldering ruin that was my town.

I have 3 crystals to deliver to Zovzhsky, and 11 minutes to do it in, but it doesn't seem to appear in any of the town lists. =/

Happened to me last beta, only advice I can give is keep refreshing a tab, took me a minute or 2 of refreshing to find gaf 2.0 under deserted before it got big.

The bus is stuck at the island and we have a stupidly huge amount of metal and gems :(


edit: Thanks to whomever hardened the void between town and the island!

Oh. Uh, if we CAN overload the bus with materials, how do we fix it? I don't see any way to remove materials once they're loaded. (Maybe I should just wait for the helpful message, hopefully it will tell me how to remove stuff.)
Click to expand...

There's no way to unload the bus right now. Not sure what the limit is but looks like they didn't expect it to be exceeded lol

Farewell, "work with comrades to collect 25 metal in one hour" request. There's probably three times that much metal on the bus but it's probably not going to make it before the request expires.

Each time I load back into town and immediately get on the bus, I see this weird bug where the bus seems to teleport between the two stops a few times before settling at one stop or the other.
