Kreny Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 please welcome new member among us - myself ! Just pre-ordered and have a question. If I'll start playing current build (14.1.1) how will be my experience affected by it's current alpha stage? I mean for someone who just got possibility to play it now, isn't it better to wait till Beta? Or even Release? Or now unexperienced Xenonaut (but experienced X-commer will not notice unfinished stuff? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoMask Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Well, its rather buggy Not that game wasn't buggy before(and it will be even more after beta includes all content) but it had less maps to have glitches with Anyhoo, you'll notice it from bugs like aliens spawning inside ufo walls or inside file cabinets preventing them from moving and that androns apparently lack their own death animation. Also, research tree isn't fully done, there aren't pictures for all research and Iceland backstory in xenopedia is blank among with other researchs like alien interrogation ones. Also there are only three alien species(plus drone) in game right now and game ends if when invasion ticks to material that isn't in game yet.(aka next new ufo type and such) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreny Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks for info, XenoMask. I thought that it's almost done now-a-day. I'll rather wait for more mature version then (waited quite few of years for proper remake, can wait few more months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoMask Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Eh, its almost time beta release but not almost done. Basically, when it reaches beta they are gonna put full research tree, all equipment available and all aliens/UFO/full invasion and make game fully playable from beginning to end, but doing that will cause lots of bugs to be found. Before however they do that, they are gonna finish rest of mechanics hence why its currently in alpha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yeah, like XenoMask says, there's going to be quite a lot of "OMG this is totes unplayable" when it gets to Beta and all the kit becomes available. Also expect to see a lot of "IMBA!" because all the balancing will be done at this point as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'd play it now. It's loads of fun and when the beta bugs hit, you'll at least remember how it's supposed to be:-) Not to mention you can post your thoughts about it here. Since you can only unlock so much fo the content, it's not as thought you'd be spoiling any big surprises either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
