Afterworld Introduction and Upcoming News

Maybe you should ask ?

Sorry do not know the answer to this information.
Remember I only play there when PED is out in Entropia :)

There is a new more advanced range of vehicles being developed for the Survival World which use the
capabilities of the 3d physx engine included with Torque-3d.

That is about all I know sorry.

The Survival world is completely different to the current Alpha world.

~ 500 x Sar-Main zones which equates to a little more than roughly 9x Eudoria in size inc. the water area.

 

This is incorrect.

* places available information on Aridashs' fishing line hook *

I can not distill this information down to you as you, like myself, will need to wait and see what happens when Survival is released and weight limits arrive.

Since there are no teleporters & teleporter chips in Afterworld at this stage, they are very important for getting around on a land-mass that will be very large in size.

So no they will not just be a looking cool thingy :D

All vehicles have specific uses as do the player built & operated corporation facilities.

One such facility being the fuel refinery & repair stations owned and operated by participants specifically to support vehicles.

As you can imagine, you will need vehicles to transport around the 500kgs stack(s) of resources you gather up from harvesting, hunting and underground mining in different areas as do you need them for visiting oil wells & pumps to pickup crude to take back to your built corporation fuel refinery & vehicle repair service station ...

The attack buggies and mining run SUVs are self explainatory.

I guess you will have to wait and see on the functionality & useability of vehicles once they are released with weight limits and the new very large survival world.

But sure, they will definitely be a cool thingy also,
especially in PvP areas where law and order is diminished :D

As much as I understand your desire to be lazy, I am too

 

A good way to the relate to vehicles in Afterworld in PvP areas

 

I see,
Yes no teleporters.

I believe the new survival world is not cut up into small zones that need to each load all the zone assets prior to entering it.

I think the new engine supports progressive loading of the environment so it is likely to be one big fluid world that you can travel freely in.

I can not confirm 100% this is how survival will be, fairly sure it is though.

It will be nice to finally be rid of those pain in the arse loading screens between server/zone swap over points.

 

Aye it went down earlier today.

I am not sure if this is due to the discovered PANE exploit today having the skill transfer terminal in Sar or due to the zone being overloaded with people playing with the vehicles the devs put out to have fun in.

Even though it was very busy in Sar today it seemed to run a lot more smoothly than the last time vehicles were out with a lot less people around back then.

I am as in the dark on this as the next person.
To keep updated on when it is back online,

Check the online zones - 17 should say 18 > http://talk.afterworld.ru/?showforum=28

EDIT: Sar is back online again ;)

 

I think your referring to the Metro system ?
The broken down train station with teleporter that links QA1 <> Sar <> TL1.
The red link in the picture below.

When you use the metro, only living organic matter is transported + underwear, pda & wallets.
All your other inventory is stored in the metro station that your departing from.

All avatar inventory can only be transported between zones by foot at present;
And vehicles later for weight exceeding what you can carry on foot.

So no teleporters in the Entropia sense of teleporters, at this time :)

 

Hi Aridash,

Here is some additional info - Including some newly added concept art for the vehicles & some of the player built corporation facilities coming in Afterworld Survival.

There is also a few pics of how the new cities and military bases will look mixed in there.

Of course your also welcome to contribute your own ideas for future development & suggestions for improvement.

One of the points the devs are working towards is to create an environment & economy with infrastructure that the participants are asking for.

Not all ideas are developed but many ideas & suggestion people have made have already come into reality and others will likely come such as the dev initiated discussion we had a while back on fishing, fishing facilities, use for fish based products & bi-products and the potental of water based vehicles on the tech forums when it was still the community discussion forum.

Community based discussions is now the sister site to this forum.

AWF Community Forum > http://www.afterworldforum.com

The devs make this point clear every few update releases to encourage the ideas on future developments & suggestions on current developments to keep coming in.

LINK > http://talk.afterworld.ru/?showtopic=3940

LINK > http://talk.afterworld.ru/?showtopic=2911

This has been a consistent request and the direction of development has been influenced on this for more than a year that I have been casually playing in Afterworld Alpha World release.

So you never know, maybe some of your ideas & suggestions for improvements may come to be one day if they fit into the Afterworld RCE concept in building a world the participants want to be involved in.

 

I think I should stop drinking that Irish brew

My laziness got the better of me today and I did some speculating on the future of Afterworld with the introduction of Vehicles & player built, owned and operated Corporation Facilities.

Hi Rogh,

No skills have been wiped in the last year and no skills will be wiped.

This link explains > http://talk.afterworld.ru/?showtopic=3940

Transferring skills (chipping) in and out is also now available.

It is best to read the posts in the news section by the devs to keep up with the latest changes.

 

Good to hear your enjoying AW Sevvy,

Yes I notice a lot of the higher end players have started playing AW.
The community is coming along nicely in development.

As far as the trouble-makers go, you find them in all games;
Just ignore them mate, they will find their place in time :D

We all skill up one day

 

Hi Narfi,

Satelite is always tough to cater for.

The current hardware we are all playing on atm is not the final hardware, it is the alpha test bed hardware
(pre-release servers)

Unfortunately all I can suggest is either to go landline where your latency & jitter will be much lower, or to wait for the new Survival which runs on the Torque 3D engine and newly built server hardware platform.

I know it isn't much help for now I am afraid, your likely to suffer many green box connection issues when playing on wireless/sat based links with AW Alpha world.

Maybe post this question on AWF - www.afterworldforum.com

Someone there with a similar setup to you may be able to help more.
