Last Oasis is looking pretty neat.

A little bit Kenshi, a little bit Mad Max. Some Worlds Adrift with some survival aspects.

They are getting review bombed at the moment because of their servers haven't handled the player count (maybe all this isolating we are doing atm), but I'm looking forward to getting stuck in once things start to get sorted out.

With that in mind, I'm planning on setting up a little clan to play around with with a few friends. But I thought there
might be some Bay12 people who are interested.

The Dune Dwellers. Or, if we cant get that name, maybe The Filthy Casuals.

Discord channel.

I'm in Australia myself, so I'll probably be playing in the Australian / Asian servers, depending on how ping is with roaming further afield.
If you were interested in the game and wanted some people to play with, drop on by and say hi!

Are they getting review bombed for servers specifically? The negative reviews I've read have been about the most expected behavior from a PvP multiplayer game like this: get a massive group, troll around, and kill everyone on sight. Playing with a smaller group or even solo is apparently not even an option.

[Yolan]

Seems to be a bit of back and forth on that issue too. I think the current mixed reviews are mostly a result of the servers though.

I picked this up yesterday and after 5 attempts and an hour total of trying yesterday and today I've given up and got a refund.  Just not worth trying anymore.

I might check it out again when it's playable in a week.

What exactly did you give up on trying? Connection isssues? Community? Something else entirely?

[Shooer]

Connecting.

Aesthetically and mechanically, it looks pretty much identical to Conan Exiles.

The major gimmick is the steampunk cars capable of growing huge to transport both players and their buildings through an ever-shifting landscape. Minor gimmick is grappling hooks, which make movement a bit more fun.

As someone who has been burned by bad survival games too many times, I'm wary. This looks like it could be fun with a group though.

[Yolan]

I also like the idea that the maps are all temporary. I'm not interested so much in grinding away at a base that can be griefed when you arent even online.

Being able to log off and keep everything safe makes it look more appealing to a more casual player like me.

Apparently the connection issues got so bad that they have taken the servers offline for 1 week while they call in a team of specialists to figure out what's going wrong and hopefully fix it.

This might be one of the worst MMO launches ever.

Na.  That'd be Atlas. At least they shut it down for a week so they stop getting bombarded with bad reviews and offered refunds.

I liked the part in the video where the guys hid behind a tree.  It was hilarious.

Servers seem to be back up.

Jumped in for a few hours last night. Did get ganked once I left the starter oasis, but once I rotated to a far corner of the map away from the trading post and connection to the starter oasis I was safe to build a dingy walker. Looking forward to playing more.

[Sartain]

Well, I caved and bought it. So far it seems fun, lots of things to do and the environs are pretty cool. No massive gank-fleets yet though I've heard the rumours, played for 8 hours straight and nobody bothered me except some guy named Roman who apparently killed me during a hard crash and bashed on my walker a bit. Other than that me and a few other newbies helped each other out with some of the "questline" missions, I managed to find the Trade Station (which seemed weird and confusing) and I realised that if you click the categories on the immediate tech screen there's actually a tech tree 
So yeah, so far it's fun, if there's any other Europeans I guess we could convoy

[Xardalas]

If we get enough people together, we should get a clan running on it.
