Pax Dei Early Access Description:

What awaits over the horizon when you leave your home valley? For this second large-scale test, we’re going on an adventure!

Gear up. We have revamped and introduced new statistics for all gear and consumables in the game. With hundreds of items to mix and match, you’ll have more flexibility in crafting your own role.

It’s dangerous to go alone. Denizens of the world will now present a real challenge. Don’t wander away from home without a party and the proper equipment.

Master your weapons. We’ve added new spells, combat abilities and weapon types. Keep an eye on their durability! You don’t want them to break when you need them most.

Welcome to Fight Club. Divine peace doesn’t extend to Lyonesse, our new province. Enter here at your own (mortal) peril if you’re willing to try out our first iteration of PVP.

Build & craft away. We’ve made multiple changes to the peaceful aspect of the game by adding new recipes, new ingredients and new crafting stations. We’ve also started work on progression balancing.

Most builders have an activity requirement where if you don't login for x weeks your base can be demolished. Kinda suprised they put the game out without any kind of decay feature because it was really obvious what would happen without one.

[soliitudegaming]

They need to be WAY more brutal than 2 hours playtime. It needs to be based on recent activity. At least monthly login requirement. There is SO much empty or abandoned plots its insane. I walk past like 200 houses and im lucky if i find one or two of them that has active players.

[ameliehansson]

I hope they will implement dying. Like boiling fabrics with different berries, bark or plants. That would be cool :)

[eclipsion_haze]

i'm rdy for a wipe tbh my friends are all off playing other games and i'm stuck all alone in a spot i didn't even want in the first place. i just want to re start rly in a whole new spot/area

[dismaspickman]

Great video. Personally, I say full wipe... fair for everyone... but, that is just my opinion.

[youfor]

I think the mounts should be the first to add. Seriously.

[MavenMune]

We need to look at how Dolavon has significant studder and lag. It appears it may be connected with the individual building pieces being used in high amounts for the populated cities. Are you all experiencing similar? Any plans for the devs to help with that?

[vividok]

If devs reading comments - drop the craft on this stage of development, pls do something with combat ( animation, SOUNDS, impact) ...as for me - I don't want to craft something if I don't like just combat etc., more different mobs, and THEN players will be motivated to craft, guys come one.

[wolferine]

they should do like once human, if you dont play for a few weeks your plots and items go into holding, when you finnally log in you can replace if soemthing is available, also could add instances, which would allow players to build in the same zones, but different layer.

[woundedsqrl]

Im not sure why they didnt add housing decay right at the start, bogglrs my mind unless its just a cash grab. House decay was my primary concern when I first started playing. The solo man castles and forts are absolutely rediculous, totally destroying the whole feel and vibe of the game.

[Spezies]

Some people of my clan are not sure if they will loose there own plots. These guys can not login because the game crashes or jump to character menu every time they try to login.

[fredrikjohansson]

Pax dei the only game that think removing content is progress, i had hoped that they would bring "back" teleport, its absolutely needed, so much content that will take hours reach by traveling on foot. Notice how many times he eludes to think that DID exist in game and has been removed.
Dont get me wrong i love the game but CORE features like teleport and server stabilty should have been TOP priority, rather than COOL assets.
They need to implement a upkeep cost similiar to medieval engineer, if you dont play you shouldnt be able to claim plotland indefinetly.
The price you payed is for access to PLAY the game, access to PLACE a number of plots, nowhere does it says those plots cant be remved if you dont play, but there needs to be a mechanism in place for this, hence upkeep/degrading.

[morningdarkne]

I mean, the knives are already in the game. They are used to make crafting benches or other tools

[Zaharra-]

Plot wipes: don’t care as long as I know what wipes are based on. By acct if inactive? By toon, if inactive. What is active vs inactive.

[DapperHamster]

I think its fine that Mainframe isn't catering to folks who bought extra accounts, no need to change anything just for those folks. One person taking up a bunch of server space goes against the community and social aspect of the game, and while Mainframe can't stop it I don't see any reason to support it. Let those folks' plots get wiped! I'd take more neighbors over one whales solo mansion every time.

This very much feels like a bandaid though, not sure how much space will be freed up by folks who only played for 2 hrs - worried we'll be right back at lots of locked servers soon.

[Grumpskin]

wait so i have 2 plots per character??? i didnt know that

[aaronmpeters]

anyone who paid for this game and cant place a plot has a legal case against this developer

[shivo]

Well if they not fix crafting, game will die even not start at alpha.

[redbarchetta]

Like the game but it's a mistake making it just group only. Solo is nothing in this game.

[larkendelvie]

Sorry -- but there was no requirement listed for logging in on a consistent basis -- wipes were mentioned -- personally I think they should just do a wipe. They gave the impression that the EA fee was like a subscription that you were just paying in advance. For folks who don't grasp what happened for a lot of these plots -- this is a form of PVP where folks used an alt to place a plot somewhere and just left it there to either spoil someone's build plans or to reserve a spot in case they wanted to come over and play in that area --- neither were against the rules. I know for the big clans this is a pain but they need to figure out how to manage this for themselves because it will happen over and over. Welcome to a land grab game that has no time sink beyond making a hammer for grabbing land.
