New update for testers!

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Important Update for all E2V1 testers 🌍✌️

This is an important update for all testers. Please download the new E2V1 version 0.1.3.2 released about 1 hour ago - we have set it so the previous build 0.1.3.1 will not have access to the multiplayer so you will need to download the new version to connect.

If you are testing the multiplayer with other Players and you cannot see the other Player/s you think should be visible, please save your Character and respawn. If that does not work then restart E2V1 and reconnect. We are working on improvements to intermittent multiplayer connection drops for Players without stable internet which will be updated in next versions. Remember, generally if you can see your Ping in the lower right corner, it means you're connected to the multiplayer server, however, there are some cases where you're ping doesn't clear when a disconnection occurs so just follow the above steps if you're not seeing other Characters you expect to see.

If you are steaming or posting videos, please try to note your actual real world location (where you are using E2V1 in the real world) and also note you're testing on a server in Singapore. This will help us and others understand the ping we see in the lower right corner for the stream or recording better. If you are closer to Singapore, you should get lower ping but the ping will increase the further away you are. As you can see in the video I posted on X/Twitter yesterday my ping is in the lower right corner, I usually get 18-25ms ping based in Australia to the Singapore server on a standard NBN connection.

So individual Ping WILL CHANGE depending on where you are located in the world, what your internet connection is like, whether you use WiFi or ethernet cable and how far away you are from the current multiplayer location server we're using which is in Singapore at the moment (we will change to Europe and America to test results in those locations as well later).

Also important, local time zone time inside build 0.1.3.2 may update one every 5 minutes from the time your Character spawns. That is 5 real world minutes, so equivalent to 20 minutes inside E2V1. The dev team are just testing something and so just keep this in mind if you are comparing times with other Players if you don't see the exact same time in the same E2V1 time zone it might be because the dev team is testing something.

The multiplayer is back on now so go for it again everyone and the team will keep monitoring!

Try and gather as many testers as you can in one area so we can see how E2V1 handles the rendering (multiplayer network side should handle it fine but we'd like to see the in game rendering limitations with real testers).

Enjoy and we'll keep improving and fixing issues as they come up!

Cool stuff!

[Shane Isaac 🌍2️⃣ @theshaneisaac]

Authoritative server based in Singapore, me in Australia with 19ms ping & our QA ( test #3236 on screen) with 300ms ping in Europe. Just sharing this as a quick example of the results we have experienced in QA regarding the interpolation smoothness we mentioned in our latest article.

https://t.co/U813Crcxxa

To experience this kind of smooth responsiveness when I am connecting in Australia, to a server in Singapore playing with someone in Europe, is pretty cool.

These are the type of results we've experienced in QA & hopefully most testers have a similar experience, but that is the whole reason of the Pre-Alpha state, to test different PC & network environments, and then identify any issues, fix & improve.

We are going to test different server locations, starting with Singapore, and it would be useful to see how say a group of testers from Europe experience multiplayer on the Singapore server, a group between America and Europe, a group based only in Asian / Oceania.

Remember, this specific multiplayer system we are testing now is for the open world of #E2V1 & will mainly be for interactive experiences that will not always require fast responsiveness meaning people from different locations around the world can interact without too much risk of losing out on something if they have a slightly higher ping.

For experiences that involve PvP & even some Co-op PvE type experiences, we will run dedicated services for the specific group of Players participating, with options to select regional location, as those experiences will obviously require lower ping, more responsiveness and so forth. This has been covered briefly in the past but just reminding people again who may have missed that or forgotten.

Final reminder, if someone has a really bad internet connection & high ping they will glitch - we can't control how good someone's internet connection is. For those testing together who decide to do a live stream or even record then post later after editing, please try to share details about your ping, FPS (displayed constantly in the lower right corner) in stream or recording and also back to us via the usual tester reporting avenues - we appreciate it🙏

🌍✌️

Not that I should really need to say anything as most people would know, but remember X only supports up to 1080 format, I think they actually force 720p, so the quality of the footage I have shared has been reduced to 720p by X.

Check out the full article here with a detailed breakdown on each & every aspect, plus some insight into what's coming next:

https://t.co/mV22JUuv7B

I know I was a little quiet throughout Q2, as was #Earth2 in general, but it's because we're so busy designing, implementing, testing, building.

Remember, we are still in Pre-Alpha & this will be our first playable release of #E2V1, probably our biggest software release to date!

We are still a few days away on the build, just fixing a few known bugs, mainly bugs around the new inventory system, specifically regarding management between the Discovery Box & the Inventory.

The article explains the purpose behind testing, so our expectation is for #Players to stay close to their properties to test a few things out because you will be prone to dying easily the further you stray, especially if you don't have a natural water supply close by & food to forage & sustain you.

I guess some might be up for the challenge to see how far they can go but that is not our expectation for this initial #RealityThread release!

Apparently the article is a 60+ min read (according to our news article publishing tool) so make sure you have a spare moment when you dig in!

Though we know it will be buggy, as expected, we are so excited to see #Players running around inside #E2V1 & streaming. It's only the beginning!

Flashback on some of the custom Limited Edition collectible #skins created by #Earth2🌎✌️ 🔥

Most of these drops sold out & will only ever be available again on a #P2P secondary market.

Congrats to those who own some of these & I can't wait to see how #Players customise some of their skins inside #E2V1 when that feature comes online in the future.

I don't believe the #Metaverse should be confined to a single genre, aesthetic or style & that has been an intentional approach from the start. It’s more of a platform that, at its core, will (at least initially) be shaped by diverse elements of the internet, including various aspects of gaming, which will serve as the framework for establishing foundational rules for life, engagement & interactivity within this emerging world - something that will become apparent with the early mechanics inside #E2V1.

While the #LimitedEdition #skin drops will slow down after the remaining sets are cleared, we will continue expanding into new genres & styles by way of more traditional unlimited, time-based drops, continuing to empower our #Players to shape & define their identity as part of the deeper immersion within #Earth2 & possibly branching off into role playing, which I see as becoming part of experiences over time.

Also, an important note that when skin customisation is available it will come with risk & reward, so the #Player will need to decide on whether to customise a skin or not, as when a skin is customised, it will not be revertible back to its original state.

This means the rarity of the original authentic version of the skin can potentially increase the more times that specific skin is customised by other #Players, the flip side being that a well customised skin could literally become 1 of a kind.

🚨#Earth2 update 🌏✌️

First I'd like to apologise to our community for the lateness of this message. I was still considering a traditional last timezone #Q2 release but honestly we could use a little more time. As you can see in the screen recording, we've been extremely busy the past 3 months with multiple commits per day on average from our dev team & this recording is only of commits made directly to our #E2V1 repository.

It does not include #BE / Server repository commits or tasks completed for custom development from our VFX, SFX, Concept Art & Animation teams or the countless other points of progressive development.

While there are some in our community who would better understand what multiple daily repo commits means, the video footage just helps others to visualise how much work goes into the development of just one facet of Earth 2, and even though we may not publish a lot of public updates, we are extremely busy & focused on development & progress behind the scenes. Sometimes you lose track of time with so many different developments in progress.

Excitingly for everyone, Chapter 1 is a very big release for us & includes some very important updates that will introduce the foundations for activity & experiences inside #E2V1. There are many moving parts & many new mechanisms we've had to design, develop & implement into an incredibly large, seamless, open world just to make Chapter 1 possible.

We're also building a persistent world, meaning we're not just developing for a single player local PC environment, which would be much, much easier, but instead requires a lot of API & server integration for almost every feature implemented - and that doesn't even involve the multiplayer networking element which we've also made good progress on throughout #Q2. We're not implementing API & server integration only for a persistent world, but also to mitigate against hacking.

I just wanted to provide this update & apologise for the lateness of this notification. Remember, we are still in a pre-alpha stage so there are inevitably going to be bugs & issues. Seeing as though we are going to miss #Q2 anyway, we could use another week or two to fix some known bugs & make it a little smoother. It won't be longer than that & even though it's not a lot of additional time in the big picture, I still said #Q2 & I apologise that we are going to overshoot that time frame.

We will aim to publish an article this weekend to provide everyone with an in depth explanation behind the early access release & I think that article will help our community understand just how much work has gone into the past 3 months by our team.

I guess I could have made this post short & sweet but I wanted to provide additional context so thanks for reading through.

To end on a more positive note, hands on play testing has been very eye opening to possibilities & immersion #E2V1 offers. There are so many opportunities waiting & so many directions to take .. it really is very exciting. Another positive point is I believe this will be the final quarter of waiting in boredom / pain as moving forward we'll have feet on the ground inside #E2V1 & once it is stable we will be able to release subsequent updates faster.

Don't miss the final #LimitedEdition character skin drop leading up to the #Earth2 early access #Chapter1 release! A community design submitted skin (congratulations @MegaFrontman!) which our talented team modeled to life in 3D, ready for use in the #Metaverse 🌎✌️

These #LimitedEdition character skin drops are all we've released to date, so people have gotten used to them, but just a reminder that in the future any new #LimitedEdition character drops will be a lot fewer & farther between once #E2V1 is live, reserved mainly for very special events or collaborations. We want all #LimitedEdition drops to be become more rare & sort after as the platform grows.

As mentioned in the past, we will move to a more traditional style system releasing character skins with unlimited editions that are only available for limited times throughout each year.

There are a few other important points we'd like to share before the first variation drops:

1⃣ For this drop $ESS skin options will be based on a fixed $0.06 $ESS value.

2⃣ As mentioned in the past, any #LimitedEdition skin drops that don't sell out could be released again in the future until they sell out, but only after the #P2P skin trading store is live.

3⃣ #LimitedEdition skins that have not sold out & are released again will be at least double their original release sale price, sometimes more depending on which skin it is. So it's ok if skins don't sell out, they're just something available for early supporters.

4⃣ The last remaining Luna skin, not yet released, will be released at a future date, which could be any time.

5⃣ We know we still need to release the Cybercore-X weapons.

6⃣ There might be a one or two surprise drops throughout this final #LimitedEdition release

7⃣ How freaking cool is this Cheok Jun-Gyeong #skin! The Korean community requested it and #Earth2 delivered!

When you consider the fact that #Players will be able to use these skins not only on their Characters but also on their #NPCs, these #LimitedEditions may be in higher demand & rarer as the platform grows.

https://t.co/sMpY7RuNfc

Some very cool history behind this historic #Korean figure & it will be very cool to have him roaming the #Metaverse!

Foundations for #Earth2 are coming together 🌎✌️ Don't forget to catch this sneak peek on recent progress coming in 2025 & beyond to #E2V1 in 4K

https://t.co/HN4FMwKVKR

Follow up article this weekend will cover:

1⃣details on new energy types #F2P #Players can earn & how these systems overlap with various parts of game play & the #EcoSim

2⃣ in depth details about the #EggHunt system including the Game Master & what it means for #LandOwners & #Resource miners

3⃣ important details about the crafting system including various ways to gather & craft and how environments might influence results

4⃣ key information about dynamic environments such as day night cycles, weather & seasons and how some links are formed between Earth

5⃣ details about wildlife including interaction, utility & capture

6⃣ details about the early transportation methods & how this might expand

7⃣ information about the initial building options & possibly ways they link into early global game play

The article contains a lot of information & will help #Players form a picture of the short term plans I have for #E2V1 & how they link together in various ways.

People tend to see one thing they might not like & not realise there are probably 5 other things they will enjoy.

As I have always reiterated, over time there will be so many things to do inside #Earth2 & I think that will become more apparent as we start to release some of these early open world mechanics which will be designed to create more real time desirable #Utility for $ESS which will also include more burn mechanisms.

There is probably enough to discuss with the $ESS report & latest progress video for a few days, but keep an eye out for the article this weekend as I'm sure there are a number of key details #Players & #LandOwners alike will want to learn about.
