From those of you testing it atm, how much of the game is roughly done, they've set some pretty ambitious goals for themselves and hearing that release is Q4 2014 makes me sceptical.
bare fooking bones, by that i mean, you can do the basics of the game, like building, mining, etc. But combat is still being worked on, they just added ranged combat, there arent any animals yet, no carts/wheelbarrows or boats yet. No horses yet which ends up with you walkin or swimming everywhere. You cant do farming yet, as you need stuff to do with animals, and they havent put them in yet, so farming doesnt work too well, or rather we havent been able to test it without having the damn critters. You can terraform like a mofo though, good god, i spent hours terraforming and mining. Oh you can smelt things, and craft items with that sort of stuff. You cant do any character creation or customization yet, as it crashes the server, you cant be a female character either. None of the religious aspect is added atm either. I havent tried building claims or anything yet, so idk how that works out yet, or if its even in the game yet.
Honestly, i would say its about 25% of what the game should be. Its buggy, and random glitches occur, like we lit a fire on the last test in a smelter and crashed our server lol. They instantly put a hotfix up for it within 10mins and we continued playing. Its rather nice that each individual server in the clusters can continue running or be updated on the fly by developers when players arent in it, Which occurred to us. The developer is incredibly responsive, so thats a huge plus, and the servers are beyond the point of them spastically crashing like they did in earlier renditions of the game; our first test of the game lasted 10mins lol, now its up all day. Another thing is, they are at that point i believe where we will begin to see them leaving up the server for a few days, which will be nice, since as of currently, testing is done every week, or every other and lasts around 10 hours or so.
