Quoting: TcheyDid i say earlier i think Vintage Story is the best of its kind ?

Yeah, i think i said ten times maybe...

I will add to the choir. The very best in its genre. Its also a coherent game, its not a ton of crap thrown together like that other, well known, blocks game. Everything is designed to work together. The art style is great and consistent. The game is also ultra realistic, but not to the point of making gameplay tedious. You like survival and/or crafting games? You like to build stuff? You like amazing pixel art? Maybe you are more the dev type and you like an easy to mod game? This game is for you.

Don't forget long time classics like Phobia 3 [External Link] (native Linux) and Kill Monty [External Link] (this one is a Mac thing).

Exceptionally good game. I usually hate racing games, but this one is pure gold.

Quoting: ShabbyXI remember I sucked hard at Diablo. I could never finish it. Diablo 2, I also sucked but at least I could get through to the end.

Then I played Diablo 3, which was rather easy, and so boring (500 yellow items to be identified one by one, each taking 4 seconds? What were they thinking?) So I decided to go back and play Diablo. Man, they had it *right*! Blue drops were so rare, it was so exciting to see one. You couldn't wait to get it identified. Same with Yellow items on Diablo 2. Diablo 3 just threw garbage after garbage legendary items at you. No excitement at all for getting them.

Anyway, rant over. I hope divelutionX doesn't force you to click the mouse for every attack :)

Yes, there is an option for click and hold.

Diablo 1 is a wholly different beast, the swarms of monsters are actually way stronger than you, so you have to use every terrain advantage you can get, abuse doors, corners, lava lakes, etc. All characters can learn to cast teleport, use that often. The sorcerer and the rogue should do a lot of teleporting. The warrior with a good armor can usually take more punishment, and since he's a really slow caster, chances are he's not going to be able to successfully cast teleport while surrounded anyway, but you should still abuse the hell out of doors and choke points with him.

Yeah, as Avikarr said, customize it any way you like. I like temporal storms personally, they add some challenge, but if your fun is building nice structures only, then, yeah, they are annoying.

Quoting: wytrabbitAny great servers to recommend for beginners?

There are any great servers, my personal favorite is Aura Fury (this server is whitelisted, you must join through https://aurafurygaming.com/vintagestory) [External Link], and a lot of players play on the Official Public Test Server, even though it says "test server" its a stable reliable server that has been around for years (operated by the dev teams themselves) but its open to anyone, so make sure to claim your base to avoid the occasional griefers.

There's some servers that are language specific (german, russian, french, etc.) and there's some long running servers like Mudwall, Conquest of Blocks and Vintage Civ. You can come discuss with players on the official discord (https://discord.gg/rXRVtZAz) #multiplayer channel and get more information than what I alone can provide and find the server that the best for your play style/tastes.

You must realize the game is a husband and wife team and its their lives' work. They have some outside contributors too, but they are the owner of the game. They can hardly "go under". Most of the game logic is already open source, I'm sure that if for some reason they can't develop the game any more, they will either find a new developer, or open source the whole game. This game is a labor of love, they would not throw away all this work and passion, they will make sure it stays available.

Another update, and here I am again to praise this game. Been playing this game for over two years now, and I'm still not bored with it, a hard feat in these days and age of games overabundance. Each update makes the game more and more interesting. The dev team is absolutely fantastic.

I'll repeat this again, this game is NOT Minecraft. Yes, it's blocky, and its got crafting, but that's about it. This game is very realistic and a lot more challenging. Each update brings *consistent* improvements, not random unrelated things like Minecraft. Also, they have a normal combat system, not the weird unusable timer based weird thing Minecraft calls a battle system. Add to this the lovecraftian horror touch and you are in for a great time.
