I'd actually kind of prefer them doing a full wipe again before Open Beta. With the plan they have of making recipes discoverable instead of starting unlocked, being able to keep your tools/props from before that change sort of nullifies a large part of their planned final progression path.

Well, it is the best way to ensure the maximum number of people test the maximum number of systems. It will give CB players an "advantage" but, eh, I'm in, so I don't care.

Edit: For those of us having the driver crashing/recovery issue, SOE contacted Nvidia and the problem is being worked on.

Couple of my friends have their two kids each playing , joining up with a family group of miners is quite amusing, fairly efficient also.

collecting seems awful grindy. is minecraft this bad?
Starbound/Terraria aren't.
Landmark is pretty grindy, if you think it's just a toolset and wanted to just jump in and (try to) build some cool shit. It's a game and more game elements will be added during beta. Based on my experience yesterday, this is what I recommend:

1. Queue up your favorite mp3 playlist (or whatever background noise you prefer)
2. Keep this list handy forums.station.sony.com/landmark/index.php?threads/island-names-now-with-more-info.26024/
3. Write down all the resources you need to craft the next tier of items.
4. Get into grind mode and just mine/chop your ass off. Gather more than you need, especially for tools and somewhat for accessories. Crafting can crit and even a blue is way better than a green. And you might just get a legendary.

This is basically what I'm gonna do until I have all the building tools.

Make sure you to craft the various accessories as you can, they give bonuses to gathering, move speed, crafting etc. Also, grappling hooks are helpful.

Game is down for a patch, Expected downtime was 2 hours. Servers are now up, 1.3gb patch.

Claim Upkeep
We've modified the Claim Upkeep flow a bit. We wanted to surface this system to you immediately after you place a claim, so that you're aware of it is, and how it works.
Basically, you'll be able to place a claim as normal - we're not going to charge you anything up front.
After placing your claim, we'll pop up the Upkeep Management window for you, so you can see how much time you have left on your Claim. If you haven't touched this window before, you should have just under 24 hours. You can deposit Copper Ore to extend that time. For a single claim, it is 300 Copper Ore per day and you can deposit enough to pay for up to 5 days in advance.
Additionally, if you login to Landmark and have less than 24 hours of upkeep remaining on your claim, we'll popup a small notification (similar to the one we use for Friend Requests, Mail, Trades, etc) to let you know how much time you have left.

Bug Fixes
The Founder's Pickaxe will, once again, be able to chop down all the trees in the world! Treants beware!
Tier rating has been split on picks and axes. Picks now use Mining Tier, and Axes now use Harvest Tier. The Founder's Pickaxe now has both ratings, with a Mining Tier of 2 and a Harvest Tier of 6.
We now allow you to stamp Paste and Template volumes that exceed the boundary of your claim. This means if you have a very large template that you're trying to place, and it seems to exceed your claims' boundary, we let you stamp it down, and the excess is shaved off.
We fixed an issue that was preventing some players from placing templates, even though they had enough materials to do so.
There was a bug where the Rare trees could potentially become rarer and rarer as more were harvested. Fixed!
When you decide to travel to a new World, we'll send you to the hub of the same island you were previously on. Previously it was easy to become confused about where your claim was, because we'd send you to the exact same location that you were at previously, but on a different world.
Fixed the zone-in location when traveling to the island of Channel (Tier 1.)
Removed Sundrop Heartwood as a component for the Rubicite Axe recipe.
Characters will now start with one complimentary Portal Shard.
If you were a Trailblazer, and didn't get all of your items, the Founder's Chest at each hub should now properly restore anything you had missing.
Several plant prop recipes that could not be crafted now require a single wood log instead of those same plants.
Refiners, which are private crafting stations, now give a clearer error message when a player that doesn't own the station interacts with it. The item descriptions for these stations have also been updated to reflect their private status.

Yes, I'm bored.

This is probably a dumb question, but are claims good for anything besides building? So far I've just be gathering and using other peoples crafting stations. Will I be able to craft all the tools doing this?

Yes, you can use other people's stuff exclusively. Claims are simply to build stuff, which is kinda a big part of the game

Kinda funny, I only have crafting stations on my claim atm but since it's literally at the spawn-in for the zone I have 50+ upvotes already. cha-ching!

I am using my Nostromo n52 to relieve some of the harvesting. It can emulate a mouseclick on a loop, so I just put my cursor on a tree, push a button and it cuts the tree for me. Mining same thing, you only have to move the cursor around a bit, but do not have to click anymore. It does not sound like much, but it made harvesting with that horrible stone pick bearable for me.

You can just hold the mouse button down instead of constantly clicking. The n52 is still helpful since you don't even have to hold the mouse button down but just sayin.
