I’ve only spent 20 hours in Boundless, so I am an incredibly new player by all measures. I’d like to start off by saying that these claims, while true, are very much overblown, and here’s why. Some of the Steam reviews also don’t paint Boundless in a positive light. Honestly, I don't actually see it as being any better or worse than what you'd get from Minecraft.TLDR: Stop listening to people who complain about everything on the internet and give Boundless a try if a Minecraft MMO tickles your fancy.Ī few days ago, a Reddit thread about Boundless got drowned by complaints about the game’s price, microtransactions, and subscription fee.
#Boundless game reddit update#
They are planning to release an update to it soon, but at its core it'll still roughly be the same. To address your comment about the combat system, no it's not the best. I'd probably say the average age of players in the game that I've met is 30+ As for the community itself, it's surprising just how mature it is. There are plenty of community driven events, especially hunting (group combat), and also lots of communities to engage with via Discord. I use issue in quotes because it's an MMO building game, what the heck else would you be doing?Īs far as the player base, it's really not as small as people make it out to be. There are only really a couple of options, building things or engaging in the economy to make some coin. The biggest "issue" with the game is the lack of things to do once you're comfortable with all the mechanics. The game has A LOT of grind, depending on how much you like to play by yourself but a lot of that can also be cut out if you join guilds or join up with other players in general. It entirely depends on what you want out of the game, and how much patience you're willing to have with it. The way I see it, when the population blows up we will be OG legends of the oortiverse! There are plenty of us playing who aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Best to get in now and plant your roots within the small community. I will say a large portion is “taking a nap”, but it’s clear after every major update when things suddenly get busy that with all the content in the devs’ pipeline the popularity could eventually stabilize and grow more consistently. The community/population certainly is not dead. In a way, I feel like I’m building a legacy in Boundless through building and I would say the same for those who run the major portal networks, own successful shops, lead hunts, run large guilds, or even just float around as socialites and know lots of people. Checking out other players’ builds and showing people around my city are great experiences I’ve never gotten from another game. I’ve made a lot of long-term friends and had many fun nights with other people I’ve met randomly. The fact that it’s an mmo takes it to the next level. I have so much more respect for the builds in Boundless.

Plus the graphics are so ridiculously much better than minecraft. It will never be boring to me because I always have new ideas and goals in mind and only need to take breaks from it when my creative juices aren’t flowing. I say that to highlight the fact that the Boundless experience can be vastly different for people depending on their interests, skills, social tendencies, etc.īuilding isn’t even really gaming in my mind- it’s a hobby and an art. As a fairly reputable builder I have the luxury of having guild mates who just want me to keep building and supply me with mats so I don’t need to spend time grinding. I’ve been playing practically daily since it came out a little over 2 years ago. I just listen in for updates since I already spent my money and hope that one day they alter atleast a tiny bit the progression system.īoundless is my favorite game ever. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I knew how much grind there is to get some of the a bit more advanced tools and crafting benches, that’s purely the reason for why I to this day rarely play it. For me personally, I enjoy the whole warp mechanic, that alone is what lured me in, I stayed to create a base for miners (still not even close to starting). There’s just so much that I think you’ll enjoy but also so much that could potentially be a deterrent. So hopefully they address these issues so it’s enjoyable for everyone. Of course, the developers are listening to what the community has to say about certain features and not so long ago they asked what turns people away from the game. If you enjoy role playing, some exploration, a bit of combat, and a lot of grind to get crafting benches then I think you’ll enjoy this game.
