Hey everyone, I have read a bit on this game and I am seriously considering purchasing it. But it seems like all the survival games right now have alot of problems. My main question is how long is the fun factor? I have heard from many people saying that its fun.... for a couple hours. Then it becomes very repetitive. Any input would help me decide. Thanks!
Things that will make you get bored of this game:
1) You need to consecrate a lot of time for this game. Playing 2 hours every few days is just not possible. If you stop playing, your stuff slowly disappears.
2) Playing less than others on the same server means they are stronger aka they will overpower you and you wont be able to do much.
3) You need to play in a server like WhiteNoise's atm, because in highly populated servers its FULL of hackers and there must be an admin to ban those guys asap. Low pop servers ofc have less appeal to hackers and also gives you a chance to build a house without getting raided 24/7.
4) The game's graphics performance is average at best, its very buggy/ not stable. But its an alpha version...
5) Playing alone will easily get boring. Bring a friend or two and play with Skype talking at same time, its 10x better.
Personally I find the game repetitive in the same way LoL, Dota and WoW are also repetitive but still very appealing and addictive to most. Sure there are much less things to do, but minecraft proved that a survival game of this genre can hold strong. I'm really enjoying playing in Whitenoises's server cause I don't have to play endless hours to compete. Also, there is nothing more satisfying than hearing someone moaning for an hour on the chat window because you raided his base while he was sleeping (irl).
PS: I would like to thank whoever built me free staircase to the top of my building, I was bored to farm that wood for an extra staircase. Luv u
