Early Access: Palworld | Nintendo Files Patent Lawsuit

[queenzelda]

If anything, the game company that should be mad at copying their mechanic's, is ArK Survival evolved since the managing of Pals and breading is exactly the same. I think the abuse claims are mostly from PETA, but no one likes them because they're zealots about any kind of animal abuse. So much so they even boycotted animal crossing once upon a time, just because a virtual owl took care of a freaking museum. smh

I've been playing Palworld since it launched, and it's been a crazy adventure. I enjoy it for what it is - a wild spin on a familiar genre. There's a thrill to the survival aspect and the nostalgia hit of collecting and befriending creatures like in Pokemon.
Playing with friends is what I enjoy most. To make that experience smoother, we bought our own server through Supercraft, and it's been running super well. No waiting in queue times or suffering through lag at peak hours, which means uninterrupted Palworld shenanigans.

Does anyone here know where to find jetragons? I think they're in the lava region but I have not been able to find them nomatter where I look.

Hopefully this helps. I needed to figure out where it is too. lol

Thanks for the YouTube vid, it really helped me out. Man that thing is so much faster than my old flying mount was. I've been using Jetdragon ever since I found everything, I needed to be able to ride it.

Yea, it's way faster then my flying mount too. I was using what looked close to a Pidgeotto (it was a Nitewing) and it's so much slower then Jetdragon is.

This is how you know when a developer makes a game they made out of love and not to chase a golden goose like so many games try to do nowadays:



Palworld isn't a subscription game. Everyone could drop it like a bad habit tomorrow and the devs have still made incredible bank off the game. We need more devs like this and Larian in the industry instead of the ones who think GaaS is the be all end all.

Palworld | Raid Battle #1 Announced
A powerful evil Pal has appeared and is laying siege to the Palpagos Islands! Only the most skilled Pal Tamers stand a chance against her…

Palworld’s first raid, Bellanoir, is coming soon!

[ShiraNoMai]

Gardevoir???

Still, happy they're pushing out raids and such. Looks like they're interested in this kind of longevity for the title.

[queenzelda]

Is there a time set for the raid? Doesn't look like it to me. But yea, Bellanoir (Gardevoir) looks interesting as a new Pal. When the raid hits, is when I'll probably go in just for that. I've finished finding all of the towers I could when I stopped playing last time.

[Moonface]

I don't think a time or date was given for the raid and the trailer is just to announce one will be happening with more focus being put on Bellanoir, considering that we didn't even really get anything about the raid mechanics either.

Also, it's already April 1st in Japan, and the developers put this out for the occasion:

Honestly I love it, and I'd find it hilarious if they actually made it a reality some day.

Just reminds me of the dbd dating sim tbh.

Modding community be like:



Them using seggs with Pals as the joke just makes me think of the classic Vaporeon copy/pasta.

Yeah, that was my first thought too.

Them using seggs with Pals as the joke just makes me think of the classic Vaporeon copy/pasta.

Given that one of the Pals in the trailer looks like their version of a Vaporeon (I dunno if there's something else that is actually more akin to Vaporeon) it makes me wonder if that was partially being referenced in that gag at all.

Also modding wouldn't even be necessary to create a Palworld dating sim. There's a few high quality free VN makers out there that would be able to recreate that trailer almost 1:1 so long as you had the character models the trailer had.
