EVERYTHING you need to know about The Legend of California (gathered by watching dev stream)⬇️
🔹New game by Jeff Kaplan, former Director on Overwatch and World of Warcraft dev
🔹Characters are bound to servers, 1 per server
🔹100 players per server
🔹Random World Events - like an outpost coming under attack, you'll want to team up with the server to defend
🔹Other events like "Salvador roaming the roads", a specialty trader that gets broadcast to the world
🔹Projectiles all have Bullet-Drop, no Hitscan
🔹You carry 2 Primary weapons, 1 Secondary
🔹There's a Weapon Mods table, where each weapon can have 3 mods that highly customize how it works
🔹End game bow called the Recurve bow for example has the "stealth string" mod that increases damage 100% on unaware enemies
🔹You also carry your Tomahawk, a thrown melee weapon you have to retrieve
🔹Find blueprints for things like better weapons
different tiers of bullets too
🔹Add custom pelts to your hat that give different bonuses
🔹Can customize how your character looks in a character creator
🔹Map is tiered by 4 difficulties which are different every seed
🔹House also has customization like different furniture looks
🔹Can make chests in your Ranch for Storage
🔹There's Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing, Hunting
🔹Resources are not finite, you can mine literally anywhere you want
🔹Different tiers of tools that get more effective and can break
🔹Mining hat illuminates in the mine ONLY
🔹Lumber mill station where you can chop logs, uses charcoal...you have a log sled you pull around to transport logs
🔹Cooking system that lets you buff things like swinging speed in mining
🔹Each food has an ability and you can spec it out with additional ingredients
🔹Use better wood with stove for longer use
🔹Comfort and wellbeing system that, can increase things like Gold Scavenging, Lucky Gathering, size of Fish Caught
🔹Blast Furnace station used for making steel (end game metal)
🔹Upgrades to stations....instead of needing 10 blast furnaces, you can add more "lanes" to it through upgrades
🔹No farming/ranching yet...animal breeding and stuff eventually
🔹Tame wild horses or buy tamed ones, also mules that can be used as a mount that's cheaper but worse
🔹There is a Leveling system for horses. They have different stats and traits.
🔹Horse can have a saddle bag, can also make a Stagecoach to travel faster, Stables to keep more
🔹There is Fall damage and you can kill your mount.... which means the mount times out for a while and it loses xp
🔹You can make gliders later on
🔹Tools do get damaged as you use them
🔹No lassos right now, would like to add those and a whip
🔹Quests you can get from job boards, including PVP quests
🔹Get contraband for doing PvP Quests, which is currency you use at the black market (sells really good stuff)
🔹When you die, you don't lose anything on you except for some cash...unless you're out in the lawless areas
🔹All you drop in Lawless Areas is anything you looted in that area. Contraband is always dropped.
🔹Character gets a facemask/bandana when you are in PvP area, and your items you pick up get flagged as lawless until you clear the area
🔹Hoping to add a lot of customization to the PvP experience, and add servers where people want full loot drops
🔹Very into letting people play how they want
🔹Trading Post - You have a trader you can list things for sale with - people can come buy those things you put up
🔹Can also trade directly between players and just give them stuff
🔹Enemy strongholds have a one time chest you can loot that is personal loot...each person gets to loot it. The small chests are first come first serve
🔹Will have FOV slider, default is 103 like OW
🔹Servers more like Rust aka official supported servers, but someday want custom servers
🔹No offline play
🔹Don't want to do things like dragons...demons, etc...its more grounded but not just chasing reality
🔹Will be an Alpha, then Beta, then Early Access
🔹NOT cowboy Rust - much more balanced between PvP and PvE
🔹No base raiding right now. would love to have base raiding in the future if they do well in EA and if players want it
🔹Core game is more like WoW Classic where no one is forced into PvP
🔹Fast Travel - every 30 minutes you can go to your ranch or your tent...each player has a tent, each co-op group or company has a ranch
🔹There is weather, rain snow wind, dust storms, sand storms
🔹Piano that can play the songs you find in the world
🔹Cosmetics are unlocked via personal challenges and can be customized too, they'll last through resets
Jeff Kaplan spoke on the differences between Rust and The Legend of California
"I would never want to mislead Rust players into thinking this is Cowboy Rust"
My experience on Arc Raiders over the last week has been hell. Just to be clear, I love this game and think it’s already moved in to my personal top 10 all time.
But the egregious amount of cheating genuinely might be worse than peak Call of Duty. I’m not trying to bring negativity to the game because I know this type of dialogue can spread on socials like a disease but I genuinely cannot get through an entire raid without a steam profile that is level 0 or an account that has multiple game bans and VAC bans on record.
I promise I’m not trying to be self righteous by telling Embark what to do next, but I think the only option they have to protect the success of this game is similar to how Epic handled Fortnite in the past — legitimate legal action against providers and individuals who are actively supplying and using cheating software. I know it’s just a game and a lot of players may not even encounter experiences like this because of the PvE and aggression based MMR but holy cow gentlemen, I’m at war and I’m getting absolutely pummeled for 8 hours straight every day. Hours and hours of looting, crafting and investment of time and resources wiped out raid after raid, over and over again.
If you made it this far and read everything, I appreciate you. I apologize for sounding like a whiny, privileged streamer but I just needed to vent somewhere else other than the stream. One day I’ll come to terms with the fact that cheating in video games has reached the point in time where it is impossible for the devs to keep up with the providers but until then, I’m just going to keep complaining.
