Here is what you can expect from this Beta currently:

okay, i explored the new island a lil bit and i have to say that i'm kinda dissapointed. "tons of new content" isn't exactly true or am i missing sth? btw didn't they mention that a new building system will be integrated with this update? i could be wrong about that. i hope they will add more stuff before the official release. what are your thoughts so far? i will go deeper in the game and explore more before i give my official statement but for now all i can say is i am disappointed.

Building system is still in the works and there is more than just the island itself, there's also numerous dungeons that can be found.

This update focused on the new islands, dungeons, fire FX, tree system, and creature spawns.

Remember, this is all still beta though, this won't be out of beta next week, but it is going to take a while as the island is finished up. Other than the new content, creatures spawn as they should and there's quite a bit to explore.

When I go to find a game there's nothing in the drop down list. How can I join?

yeah i know that there are dungeons now but i don't think that's "tons of new content". as i said i will look into it again and i will play until i discover everything, it's just my first impression about the update. but there is also a good thing which i need to mention, the peformance hasn't got worse for me. Thanks for letting me know about the building system.

It wouldn't be in the game, you have to opt in via Steam itself through your game library.

You guys need to update the UI for this game. It's so ugly that it throws me off wanting to stick around and pump some hours into this game. I can't be the only one feeling this way. It is so out dated, please put it top of your priorities - It wouldn't take long at all to make a decent UI. Cmon guys!

well it is okay for now i think but you're not wrong xD

agreed the UI needs a serious make over, and a more organized format would be great too.

so, loving the way trees give logs and bark now but the trees and foliage are far too green to be in the harsh environment on the islands of tarvhos. in general everything is far too bright and i even turned the brightness nearly off. i really miss the old colors you guys used, they were far more appropriate than the bright springtime green thats going on now.

once again i venture forth unprepared and undergeared for Freydalyn, but curiousity got the better of me and i had to see it right away. i didn't feel like grinding it out just to walk across a bridge (i still can't get past the absence of satifaction doing this) .... so honestly i wasn't expecting much, however much to my pleasure i'd discovered i had no idea where i was anymore (with no help from the lack of zone notifications lol) and i love it. i haven't gotten lost in this game in a long time, and on my subsequent hike back to Snowmere i had found myself amidst a whiteout (i kept going though) and stopped to start a fire not realizing i was 1 flint short :( .... so i waited it out and kept on, just to run face to face with a wolf, we did the dance, and then he ate me lol.

so i just started from scratch with the workstations i left on Snowmere lol. and i was so happy to see the return of the furies, wolves and kiilots to Freydalyn ... to bad the boars, black boars,wolves, eks and skellies have abandoned Snowmere. only deer left and they seem like they've been eating crayons, some i can run up to and smash and they just stand there. others will start to run but really slow and then speed up and run (not sure if its by design or just a bug)

still no Kruul on Snowmere, i miss the portal. and holy crap is the daytime long wow. couldn't believe it, and the night is still short .... whyyyyyyyy? and the lore page on the bridge is still floating.


anyways Signal, i do love the new island and the new trees and foliage (no more getting caught up on the ground lol) other than that abstract color scheme. looking forward to exploring it more soon, looks like i have a bit of a grind ahead of me because i just started a fresh toon for this one. already died once, been a long time since i died to a wolf lol. hopefully this mob situation gets remedied permanently soon :) .... keep up the good work!!

Ouch, I think I pulled a muscle when I took a step to the riiiiiiiiight. No matter. My keyboard hand feels great and my mouse hand feels great. LET'S DO THIS!

Well I found the small ruined staircase from the Legacy Island's Lycor ruins, so that's me easily pleased.
