Any chance we could get offline progression?

I've been playing elf almost exclusively. Love the trueshot bow. Fate is a bitch though; I've gotten about 20 green and blue non-trueshot bows, but no trueshots better than white.

Dorf is also a lot of fun, if you have good teamwork. I love holding back a tide of vermin while a witch stands safely behind me and blows them up. Of course, if my team isn't paying attention, then I just run out of stamina and get overwhelmed...

Pfft, new classes. What good are dozens of unique classes if you don't have an appropriate variety of hats to go with them?

Wish this was on Steam or Android...I love my incremental idle games, but they feel kinda pointless without some background system keeping track of my progress and occasionally spitting out meaningless achievements.

Me too. Planetside 2 has a lot of fun to be had, but can get tiresome extremely quickly for some reason. Just the idea of infinitely conquering stuff so the map can lock and reset so you can conquer it again ad infinitum just feels weird and empty. Still, joining a platoon can make the game, but other than that, it's just not for me.
Defiance was surprisingly fun, but I had a lot of connectivity issues and the game felt somewhat dated or poorly designed. It was VERY 'MMORPGly' and, a lot of times, I saw that Gear and Level was would completely ignore Skill.

What I disliked about Planetside 2 was aimbots; sniper-rifles that can 1-shot infantry and be aimed with pinpoint accuracy are a recipe for disaster in any multiplayer FPS. Also there was the whole mess with the graphics...

Defiance simply had no endgame. With power-scaling a lvl 1 could pick up a common-quality weapon and be about 90% as effective as someone who had spent a year grinding for the absolute best possible weapon. Once I had seen the whole of both continents and tried each weapon variety, there was just no incentive to keep playing. And the PvP was basically a zergfest with everyone using only the cheesiest weapon types.

Getting excited for the first big update!

As much as I yiff at the prospect of a multiplayer sandbox with bikini furries, this has the stank of vaporware all over it 

I'm thinking about buying it, but since it's 30$ I'd like to know something about it before hand. Like, pros and cons of the game? (exclude performance issues from cons. That's a typical early access thing I fully understand.) Is it fun or does it quickly get old? How is the multiplayer? I'm not asking for a full review but I would like to know some things about it like what features are currently in it. It does seem pretty cool though

I wouldn't say that it gets old quickly...but it definitely does reach a point after 2-4 weeks(depending on how good you are, and how much help you have) when you've seen all there is to see, built all there is to build, and tamed a dino that can eat any wild dino on the island.

Multiplayer PvE is great. You can access new technology faster by splitting up the unlocks with your tribe members, and you get xp for everything they do around you. Everything just works better when playing with other people.

Multiplayer PvP is brutal. People can steal your stuff and kill you while your offline, and destroy dinos and buildings that took you hours to aquire. Some people like that kind of thing...but I recommend sticking to PvE servers.
