  • If past patterns continue, I’ll wait for the micro transactions to ramp so high people get outraged, items get nerfed/pumped/micro’d. Blizzard milk the whales for a bit. When they can’t get much more out of the whales they say “we are sorry, we fixed it and removed most micro’s” . (And keep the money)

    Then it will be the “regular player” cycle of expansions and a more polished game. So maybe 1-2 years time?


  • If you can handle playing older games, “fortresscraft evolved” is an interesting combination of Minecraft, Tower defence and Factorio. Think Minecraft, but thousands of blocks down to bedrock, conveyors, turrets, elevators and Lazer power systems. The voxel world is impressive in how it runs. Has a tiered tech tree and block breaking/placement is incredibly fast. Also well priced these days.

    I enjoy voxel games sometimes, in this game you can break and build really fast, place rows of conveyors/blocks. So what makes this a good example of enjoyable base building? I’d say you can build nearly as fast as you have ideas, test and try things quickly. Make crazy solutions to problems. Making a mega factory/base that may span thousands of blocks.
