Sn3w 1 Posted December 4, 2017 Hi everyone, I came across this game via Youtubers today and thought it looked really interesting. I do have a few questions before buying. I apologize if these questions have already been asked. I'm late to the Yland party 1. Does the game have secrets and things like chests and loot to find? 2. Will resources respawn or do you have to travel to different islands to find new resources? 3. Are there different weapons, clothes etc you can craft and do those have increased stats. Or does it not matter which version you craft of an item? 4. Is there some sort of end goal to the game or smaller in between mile stones you have to pass along the way. Or is it pure your own creativity? 5. Is it possible to have battles at sea with your boat (cannons)? 6. Is there an in game map? And if so, will you be able to see an icon on the map of where you died? 6b. If there is a map, is it possible to put pins or stickers on it for guidance? For instance, you can place a star on the map when you found something interesting, but need better equipment, so you want to come back later. The star sticker is a reminder as to where the exact location is. 7. Are resoures just up for grabs for everyone, so first come first serve? Or does every player have the possibility to pick up the same resources at the same time? 8. Are there currently players from the EU? Otherwise this game could become quite lonely Thank you for reading my post! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ane 1213 Posted December 4, 2017 Hello! Good to see you here, it's never too late for the Ylands party! I'll try to reply to all your doubts: 1. Does the game have secrets and things like chests and loot to find? Definitely! There are various Random Encounters you can come across during your adventures, like a pyramid with treasures or an abandoned cabin with books. Even underwater! There are even whole games that are all about riddles and stuff to find! Like Santa's factory: https://ylands.net/asset/6 2. Will resources respawn or do you have to travel to different islands to find new resources? Each biome has different resources, so it may happen that you'd have to sail to other yland to find a specific resource (or even go into a cave!). 3. Are there different weapons, clothes etc you can craft and do those have increased stats. Or does it not matter which version you craft of an item? Yes, definitely. It's not the same using a wooden axe than one made of iron. Same goes for armors/clothes. 4. Is there some sort of end goal to the game or smaller in between mile stones you have to pass along the way. Or is it pure your own creativity? It depends on the game you're playing. In our Workshop you can find different games, and all of those have different goals: https://ylands.net/ When it comes to the Explore mode, the goal is to survive, craft new and better items (until you unlock more advanced stuff like energy or alchemy), build yourself a ship to travel to other places and find new resources etc. Nonetheless, our plan is to add an ULTIMATE GOAL eventually (we'll share more info on that later in 2018). 5. Is it possible to have battles at sea with your boat (cannons)? Yes, it is! Check out this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9e0EDQ1zGw&t 6. Is there an in game map? And if so, will you be able to see an icon on the map of where you died? There is a map, yes. Right now there is no such icon, but we'd like to add it in the future (along with other map improvements). 6b. If there is a map, is it possible to put pins or stickers on it for guidance? For instance, you can place a star on the map when you found something interesting, but need better equipment, so you want to come back later. The star sticker is a reminder as to where the exact location is. We'd like to add that in the future. 7. Are resoures just up for grabs for everyone, so first come first serve? Or does every player have the possibility to pick up the same resources at the same time? I'd say it's more of a "first come, first serve" situation. 8. Are there currently players from the EU? Otherwise this game could become quite lonely Sure! We have some Dedicated Servers running for those of you who don't want to play alone I hope that was helpful.

Sn3w 1 Posted December 4, 2017 Thank you so much for replying Ane! No doubts any more! I will buy this game and enjoy it with all my heart. You just sold me by telling you can fight at sea (captain jack style) and that there will be an ultimate goal eventually. I cannot ask more of a game in this genre, and quite frankly, I dig the art style used in the game. I am eagerly awaiting the release of this game and will not rest until my friend buy it as well so we can be pirates, survivors, explorers of whatever we can think of Much love, Future Ylands survivor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
