RuneScape : Dragonwilds

[Grey Rhebok]

I just found out that this game came out today and immediately got it and put 3 hours into it.
Having set my expectations to "Valheim clone" (even though I've never played it), I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the game.
I am taking in account that it is still in early access, there's a lot of things missing. But I can see it get big in the coming years if they keep pumping it with updates in a timely manner.
There's some performance issues, which I am honestly used to with every new release nowadays. They seem to be making it a priority, so that's good.
So what do you all think of this new Jagex game ?

I got it and played  

 

I'm honestly not too sure, Idrk why I got it.. wasnt really interested to trying and playing a new game but I just bought it without thinking so I am like on the fence of still refunding it

 

It seemed okay though, I never really been in these type of games and it felt like minecraft so I think I would need to give it some more time to see if I like it . So probably next week, I will try it some more and give some more thoughts on it

I'm not big on survival games so I was planning to wait until the full release to decide if I wanted to buy it. But everyone's hype yesterday got me to pull the trigger. I'm weak

 

Trash internet, though. It'll be a couple of days before the download completes.

I was just talking about this in the CC. I got it today and for the couple hours I played I really see a lot of potential in the game. Not only for Dragonwilds itself but also for RS3. I think if the dev team gets inspired they could really improve both games to something amazing.

It is very interesting! I'm massive on survival games! You name it, I probably have it! But I was honestly surprised, I've played many early access games, and some are just...

 

BUT THIS. Is rather fleshed out for a "Early Access" game, Yes bits are missing (Range and Mage skill trees) But there is still ALOT there. Yes it's very similar to Valheim but that and Enshrouded are probably two of the best "Survival" games on the market rn. So why not take inspiration from something that works? I see no issues with this!

 

The performance isn't the best (at times) but they're surprisingly on top of it, along with bug fixes which for JAGEX is nice to see! 

 

Base raids are a bit awkward currently as you can't build base defences! So they just ploughed through the wall

 

I do wish we could have more than 4 players to a world, I'm hoping maybe in the future that will be changed! (I'm thinking that will change with dedicated servers) If I would have to guess.

 

I'm very much looking forward to the future, the roadmap looks good!
