    Mr Feudals First Impression of Life is Feudal: MMO

    Ok, so this is not exactly a first impression. I have only played a max of an hour and it's not enough to guage a proper review or response.

    What I can tell you about the MMO is upon spawning in, the map is absolutely massive. It was widely known that the map was going to be on the big side, but the proportions that we read were completely dwarfed.

    The Life is Feudal MMO Map without Server barriers.


    I also want to add that I am returning to Life Is Feudal in order to help those who have just bought the game, again, understand the mechanics and how the game works.

    I too have also lagged behind a bit, I have missed countless updates, release etc etc so I will also be learning at the same time. However I have discovered that my old tricks of grinding for skills and resources are not exactly gone, so there is that to look forward to.

    Videos and Recordings

    This will be me coming back to Youtube and also Broadcasting to Twitch as I play this game. I am in the process of creating my First Impression video for Youtube and for you the players. I have yet to collect a number of people for a Clan but that will come with time. I have been actively gaining more and more knowledge on video editing so I will have some very well done videos coming your way.

    As for Twitch, I have an account setup and ready to broadcast with a following of around 135 currently. I have no known schedule and if there is one listed there, it's very well out-dated.

    For those interested in watching and possibly getting a few tips and tricks from me, please follow me on twitch or Subscribe to me on Youtube.

    Ok, so initial impressions

    Since I have only an hour down in this MMO I can't really give my first impression to the fullest. However I can give you some initial thoughts of the game.

    First: Spawning into the game will land you in a Domain current populated with serveral players and (I think) NPC's. This area is shaped purely by players and it's absolutely incredible. These servers will host 10,000 players all gathering, terraforming, fighting and being as medieval as they possibly can be. So far only around 1000 are known to be playing this game but even on 1/10 of the scale it looks as though this MMO is going to shape up rather well.

    Second: Graphics... that old question, does this MMO look graphically impressive? To an extent, yes it does. Bare in mind the Beta testing means that the servers won't be operating to hte fullest capacity. However I believe the game looks well rounded and polished. Kudos to the Devs well done on that front. My only concern is: Morning lag is still very much a thing as I have found (I don't know about other players), but this is exempt from the graphics. 

    Third: Going into the MMO I thought I would be spawning in amoungst hundreds of users who may or may not have weapons, tools or the means to deal damage. I have found that if you are in a sense: a bad person, you will get attacked. If you are nice and mind your business, you will have a community of people welcoming you and talking to you as if you're new (strange to me). This is a nice twist from LIF:YO because when you spawn into LIF:YO you are instantly met with the certainty that you will no doubt be killed for being "naked". 

    Fourth: Theres very little lag. Yes, there is very little lag in the game apart from my known Morning lag, but that's besides the point. I met several people running, walking and interacting and there was little to no lag with a constant 60 frames. I must say though: I have an OC'd 1060 with an OC'd I5 with the game installed to an SSD, you may have a different opinion on this but it certainly functions will for me.

    What can be improved at this current stage?

    Something I would like to see: Is some form of random event that effects not only you but a group. A lot of people will be asking why, here's my reason:
    • This game boiled down, is a very sophisticated version of Rust. Now if you have played Rust you will know that large groups known as "Zergs" ruin everything and make playing impossible. Now you shouldn't even be playing this MMO solo because you are only given 404 skill points (this is beta so it's subject to change). I want it so if a large group 50+ is currently ruling in one domain that they be exposed to the likes of: Disease etc. Something that would be common if you were part of a population in a castle, town, village etc.
    This is all I can think of from my hour of gameplay but I will update this Blog with more as I play and learn more.

    Can I get access to the MMO?

    YES, yes you can. Now this will cost you some £££. Simply go to Life Is Feudals Website and select the MMO tab. Half way down the page you will find the Packages. Buy one of these and you will get access for the time specified on the package.

    I hope to see you all on the  MMO and YO soon. 
    Thanks

    MR Feudal.
