WARNING: SPOILER ALERT ABOUT ENDGAME

I am now following atlas the path of atlas... then will make my way to the centre Playing this between Dues Ex sessions but sometimes this just keeps me hooked for hours! Found such an incredible planet last night, long green grass, tall trees, beautiful blue skies, tons of wildlife some that are 4 meters high and amazing storms that roll in periodically.

If you ever get to make "homeplanet" in NMS, I think I found mine

I found a similar planet to that: long grass, rainforests, and heavy rain storms. In Hello Games' patch notes they did say that they are working on a base building mechanic, so hopefully we'll be able to build some nice buildings soon

Quick question.
I was following the Atlas path, got my first anomaly & Atlas station. But the Atlas path has disappeared now. Must I wait for a new anomaly to appear, to take me to the next Atlas station?

Yes also make sure you are upgrading your drive and also completing the Milestones as the path of atlas requires certain milestones to be met

Cool.
I have upgraded my warp drive, the Milestones are also going well. Just got the gold trophy for learning 150 words
I also heard you have to keep those Atlas stones you get. DON'T SELL THEM!

yeah my Exo suit is fully upgraded so stashing those stones isnt so much of a hassle but I think you need 10

10 or 12
How many slots in your exo suit?
I think I'm almost done with mine.

KF check when u bring up the star map that it's on the Altas path view. Might have changed it maybe?

Yea, the blue path is Atlas, & the orange path is the center of the universe path.
But after the first Atlas station, the blue path option is now gone.
So back on the way to the center of the universe, until Atlas pops up again.

@knight - I heard 10 Atlas stones. But I'm gonna stash them all anyway.

I think I upgraded to 34 additional slots? last upgrade was 340k Units I think

34 !disappoint
I'm not even halfway then, still paying R50 000 a slot lol
Nice to know there are many more slots still to come
Need a bigger ship though, still with my starter ship 25 slots. All the other ones I found so far, are the same.

Anyone come across other player yet?

As far as I know, no one has.

YOu can't, in the first week a couple of guys tried to meet at the same co-ords on a planet and while they were at the same place at the same time, they couldn't see each other

@ Cravhino - Sean Murray has always said its a shared universe in terms of stats, and that your content and planets could be explored by other players but you will not meet other players. It wouldn't be possible to have players in the exact same game as the universe is too big for them to track across their servers.

Maybe for NMS 2 they will figure something out.

I personally have found and landed on previously explored planets but the game is so big that's unlikely to happen often

Another Jimquisition on NMS, specifically around the PR. Some video on the MP aspect. " class="general_link" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >

Lied...maybe, over embellished...most definitely!
& the hype train did nothing to help matters.
Never the less, I like it.

"They got one part about space exploration right, crushing loneliness."

@KF I don't care either way, but yes there were a couple of lies around MP as evidenced by the Late Show clip as well as the other interview in the vid.

Yes the hype train got out of hand, but as Jim points out poor PR and comms from Sean and Co didn't help. Mr Hat and I had this argument around communication already when the game launched IIRC.

I think that if they hadn't tried to build the mystery so much, especially as hype built, they would've been fine as NMS is very much in the vein of other crafting survival games and it does that very well.

Is this a complete[censored] show? Of course not, the game has good points that players enjoy, but is it the complete redefinition of gaming that some hyped it up to be. Of course not, nothing could ever be. And that last point is not the devs fault. What is their fault is that they didn't realise that things were getting out of hand and so put a stop to it. Like Jim said this isn't on the scale of the Gearbox/Randy Pitchford lies about Aliens CM, but they do have to take some of the blame for not calming things down.

The price issue, to me that is not such a big deal. Gamers were informed enough to judge the value of the game IMO and if they feel ripped off they should've waited to see what the game was actually like before committing their $60

LOL, third time that Honest Trailer has been posted, guess nobody reads threads anymore
