Neues zur Trial Insel
Im letzten Game Update News berichtete Dave Gilbertson über eine Art Anfänger Insel die es bald geben soll. Nun hat er bei TenTonHammer noch ein wenig mehr Details dazu geschrieben. Diese sogenannte Trial Island wird frei erhältich sein als eine Art Trial Version für Vanguard und ist komplett von der normalen Welt getrennt sprich Trial-Spieler und Abonnenten werden sich nie treffen. Wer das Spiel kauft wird wie jetzt in den normalen Stargebieten starten. Hier der komplette Text:
Zitat
The trail island will be a free demo. It does not replace any of the existing content. If you buy the box or the digital download, you will start in a normal newbie zone and you will never see the trail Island. If you decide not to buy the game but instead decide to download the trail island, then you would only get that experience and it would be in place of the regular newbie content. If after that point you like the game, you would then be transferred over to the regular content starting at whatever level the trail island caps off at.
There’s no good way to answer the “dishonest” question. We will do our best to make sure the optimization tricks we learn from the trail island make it to the live game ASAP. In addition, art will finish the island before design populates it, so while design is populating, art will be optimizing the existing game. So [by the time] the trail island does go live, the rest of the game should be much better. Keep in mind programming is still working on optimizations as well during this time. If we never optimized the rest of the game starting now, I think [the folks who say the trial island is dishonest] would have a valid point, but that’s not the case.
