    It seems you have a vague interest in philosophy and the like which is great, you've just gotta work on communicating such ideas. If you can't communicate it meaningfully, perhaps don't use it in an argument with somebody.

    This falls under "if people agreed with me/saw what I saw, the world would be better". It's either ignorant (generalizations being thrown around) or arrogant (you actually think you're the arbiter).

    Thank you for the advice. Arbiter? It's not my responsibility to deliver anything to anyone. The only "arbiter" of making the world a better place is one's self. Call it ignorant if you like. It's my sincere hope that one day humans will love themselves enough to love other people back, but, in my opinion, that won't happen until people become their own arbiters.

    Either you're going out of your way to obfuscate what you're trying to say, or you're doing it accidentally lol. You're essentially saying "if people would look into themselves, they would agree with me" which is a little arrogant to say the least. 

    But wow these forums are sleepy considering the proximity to the release. Where are the rest of the ardent defenders, the ones who excused every misstep? Seems to be getting quieter on that side especially.

     

    I'm not really sure if you're trying to paint me in a way that suits your point or tries to make me feel like a bad person. I am not saying that people will agree with me if they look into themselves. I don't need people to agree with me. I'm not trying to obfuscate anything. If they want to find out what I am talking about, I could tell them until I am blue in the face for lack of air, but it's not something that is easily communicated. If it were, the world would be a better place than it is.

    You know what, you have converted me to your way of thinking, old friend. I feel as though our connections have become intertwined, two souls binding together through scriptures and gospels of love. Love is love, love is life.

     

    Cool. By the way, I'm not religious. Scripture and gospel is nice sometimes, but I don't care for religion myself.

    Why are you talking in riddles? No, all emotions do not stem from love. That is factually incorrect. There are disorders which prevents people feeling love, love is not the basis for all emotions. I am not complicating things, I am stating a fact. 

     

    They're only riddles if they are not understood. All emotions stem from love. The ability to not feel love is not an emotion, my friend.

    Some people cannot understand love in this life, to be true, but that is because they haven't been shown what it is. I argue that love is the most accepting emotion, and if someone kills someone I loved, then I will still love that murderer because we are all humans, and every human experience is valid. You can approach emotions through a clinical study, fine, but studies are not fact. They're observations of what have happened on average when studied. The moment a psychologist or doctor says that they know nothing, then I believe that physician to be wisest of all.

    Well I do study psychology, and let me tell you there are far more ways to respond to things than just love and fear.

     

    People like to make things complicated, don't they? Life isn't complicated, but some people cannot handle simplicity. All emotions root from love, even fear. There are many ways to respond, yes, but all emotions come out of love because it is the most accepting emotion, while fear is the most divisive. I am glad that there are people that like to complicate things because that is a valid way to experience life, but for me, I choose simplicity because it is also a valid way to experience life.

    "I know that I know nothing." Socrates was right.

    I totally agree with the OP... especially with the part "If you are done, then be done and move on from the forums." But I also understand why people act the way you described. After more than a decade of social networks, people (younger generations) are used to comment (positive and negative) about anything in their life: what they eat, how long they have to wait for the train, how school "sucks", without actually doing anything about it. And seeing this behavior everywhere it can almost be considered cultural. 

    I grew so tired of this kind of behavior that I never opened any account on main socials... just Facebook to help me remember birthdays dates... I almost abandoned this forum few months prior to release cause I was sickened of people complaining on stuff (that could be actually true, at least for them) but did nothing about it. There were just a few individuals who actually refunded and kept posting here. Again, I have nothing against people voicing their opinions, but dude, you gotta be pretty darn stupid to realize you are being slowly scammed and all you do is observe and cry about it.

    The saddest part is that generation will be the next politician caste...

    About the game, this is pre-alpha... don't expect to have fun... Get in game (if you can) and seek for bugs... they are everywhere. Help the devs list all the bugs and classify them. Participate, be useful, be part of the community.

     

    Completely understand and agree. It's sometimes difficult to help a person know where to start with improving their attitude/life. Seems like one generation of kids is extremely entitled and can't be bothered to look inwardly. It's not their fault, though, as very few people know how to look inside effectively. The work to face one's demons is too hard, so they don't do it. They don't want to change or even see that they would benefit from adaptation. It's one reason why I wrote a book on emotions, literally. I hope to bring awareness of the methods to improve oneself once I publish it.

    Mistakes were done, and we all apologize because it took more time than it should, and we know the launch was very rough. But we all actively try to make it better. I just don't understand why some people come and just say it's a total "scam" or trash talk the game. There's a lot of bugs yes, but at least we don't intentionally try to leave it that way. Even Motown (who left to explore other paths) wasn't expecting the launch to be that chaotic.

    But I just want to say we work hard, and the developers work overtime even during weekend. I don't say that because of information being passed on, I say that because I know they do. And I've spent 12 hours nearly straight for moderating the Discord during launch day (of course I took a few breaks).

     

    If I can help do something productive, let me know. I do t have technical skill, but I can help with something I'm sure. Thanks for putting up with the toxic Discord and helping the team.

    Oh? I never saw that movie. I heard it's good though. 

    I did suggest to do something more productive. One could chalk it up to giving money to strangers online for an invisible product/failed investment and move on. Alternatively, one could work to create a class action lawsuit. Complaining is simply not productive.

    There are always only two ways to respond to anything: love (positivity) or fear (negativity). That's it.

     

    Let's say you gave someone money in the expectation to receive something back later, something good enough for your expectations. However, they didn't deliver it to your expectations, and you feel emotional about it. You're angry, frustrated, confused, and you feel like you've been made into a victim -- you feel negative. These are all natural ways to feel, but no one should want to stay there for a long time.

     

    It would be my suggestion to feel those feelings as much as you can privately. Understand why you are feeling them, and then move on. If you need help in learning how to deal with those negative emotions, it is OK to ask for help. Staying in a negative state is unhealthy for you and for the people you interact with. You are spreading your negativity to others, and you become an agent for fear. Who wants to do that? Who legitimately wants to spend their time spreading fear (negativity) to the people they interact with? Doing so makes the person look like a negative person, and while some positive people may spend their time trying to help such a person, no one can force them to help themselves. The result is that positive people move away from the negative ones, and the negative ones attract to each other and spread more fear. A responsible person checks their emotions at the door when entering into any discussion. Emotions are great tools, but they sometimes make us look bad when we say things that are hateful or things that we shouldn't have said.

     

    Complaining about the obvious is not productive. It takes up your time when you could be doing something else more productive and positive. We, as the players, can do nothing to the game to improve it. If you want to play the game in the state you initially expected, support the developers. If you are done, then be done and move on from the forums. While you have a right to be upset, you may wish to spread love around instead of fear. If you do, you may be surprised at how your life changes. 

     

    Good luck to all of the people who are really upset about this. If you need help, I will listen to you sincerely and offer some advice, if you desire. Just send me a PM. Cheers, and have a great day!

     

    TL;DR: 

     

    1. Feel emotions.

    2. Feel logic.

    3. Use logic.

    4. Be productive.

    5. Spread love not fear/hate.

    Can't give solutions if we don't know the problems. 

    Can't get a refund if we've already played the game. 

    source: Refunds can only be processed if purchases fall within the 180 day window Paypal offers for buyer protection.

    Important Note(STEAM): Due to technical limitations, refunds cannot be provided to accounts that have been manually linked to STEAM by the account holder. If you claim a STEAM Key for the "Identity: Town Square" module, it will no-longer be possible for "Asylum Entertainment Inc." to process refund requests due to our inability to de-activate the steam key after it is claimed via the STEAM desktop client. Future purchases from the STEAM Store or marketplace will require STEAM Support to process any refund requests, and will be subject to STEAM's own refund policy

     

    Then my solution for you is give up and think of it a lost cause. It's better done than complaining about it. Spend your time in a more positive and productive way. Life is too short to spend it complaining about things on a public forum. Good luck to you with all sincerity.

    Question: How is life wasted when one is waiting for the game by engaging in their daily activities outside of the game? The only individuals that are wasting their life are the ones threatening to never play the game while producing hundreds of posts on the matter.

    P.S. Long live white-listed private servers.

     

    DLIMIT got you there.

    Exactly like giving money to a homeless guy who promised to pay me back day one is completely different, I put money on this because i thought the devs would not release the game in the buggy state that it released in because of the amount of delays. And i can afford it i just dont want the money to go to waste on a product that is terrible 

     

    Then be patient and supportive. :) This is how Early Access games from independent developers goes, friend. No offense, but from an objective point of view, it would seem you started out with high expectations.  Support your developers with encouragement, and your life will be less stressful. You may yet be surprised!

    the devs will get it working eventually but i dont want to have $250 down on the game

     

    What you did is exactly like giving money to a homeless guy who promised to pay you back one day. Do not give money to people on the Internet for an invisible product if you cannot afford it. Welcome to Common sense 101.

    1. Are you here to criticize the club and harass the real life person attempting to play two different characters on a game that is specifically identified as a role playing game?

    2. Are you here to post something positive promoting the club? 

    I think it's #1. Please educate yourself on the rules and follow the rules of the forum. You may wish to review rules 1, 3, and 11. Cheers!

    This club does not make sense!

    Is the club connected to a communist party? Really?!

    A private business, selling products with profit-oriented marketing strategies (capitalist strategies). Do not allow STATE employees?!

    You don't know anything about communism!

    Hiring by co-owners? Do you value the right to private property?!  Hahahahahahaha

    Guys, you are hilarious!

     

     

    Is this mistake still being made despite the same exact mistake having already been made just a few posts above this one? All one has to do is read the thread and one will avoid making a fool of oneself, unless that is the purpose in the first place. If it is a purposeful troll, thanks for bumping the thread and getting more attention for us.
