Agree with balroc. I hope that sequence is skippable, otherwise this just demonstrates it takes forever to zone.

Yeah that was the most retarded thing to put out. So it takes a good minute and a half to simple zone from planet to planet? I mean it isn't a deal breaker for me but I agree I hope that is a skippable sequence. As much as I love sitting on my hands watching scrolling text for a solid minute.

You can at least move the window they have stuck over the ship, and I would assume walk around and do stuff while that's going on. I know with Terraria there was always some shit that I had to do in the home base so despite a minute and a half it wouldn't be killer.

Tho I agree long unskippable periods of nothing are silly.

are you guys forgetting how long it takes to generate/load a world in terraria/DF/any of these games? They are just masking it in game, instead of having a loading screen.

I think everyone was well aware it was a disguised loading screen .... The issue is it took 1.5 minutes to load on, what I assume, is a high end PC. It feels like it could be optimized.

I hope it's available for pre-purchase once beta starts. I'd like to get in on beta testing but would rather make the transaction through Steam.

You can watch streams on twitch anyway, there's a couple playing the game and apparently the beta starts in a few hours(9-10AM PST or so) so there will be more. There's some very interesting changes to the terraria concept I found, like being able to dual wield which is great(can have a flashlight+weapon, can dual wield weapon, can have axe+pickaxe etc).

Incredibly stoked for this game. I bought Terraria during a steam sale earlier this year not knowing a damn thing about it and fell in love. I think I have more hours played on it than any other game in my Steam library.
