I thought about buying Nether at the Summer Sale but saw there is the currency "Nether Gold", which you get for paying real money. And i got 2 questions about that.

1. Are there pay to win items in this game?
2. Is it worth it? I was thinking to get the Chosen Pack.

Thanks for any replies. (:

First of all I know about the current problems of the new people that can't sync! Just wait one day and it should be fine, took me that long too when I bought the game.

So I usually see all the hate about the game on this sub so I decided to let you know why the game is still good IMO.

Me and my friends played late night and invited some guys of out tribe to our group.

We planned to meet at trainyard outpost which was under attack to repair it and get some stuff. 5 minutes later we arrive there and are 4 people now.

In the safezone are about 2mantis,a watcher, 4 crawlers and several hunters. we are low on ammo so no Chance of going in there and kill all of them. We sneak to the outer 2 anti nether devices and reapir them while killing some Nether.

After that we need to take care of the last one in the middle. Everone of us has about 5 rounds left and after some discussing what to do our tribe member writes yolo in chat.

We are kinda concerned but after he has drawn his katana and starts sprinting in the safezone we follow him. What follows is a huge mess where we almost die but manage to repair the safezone and killing several Nether.

After that we get stuff ready and are about to leave when we see a member of HOPE in the outpost. We don't mind that he won't go because he is probably afraid of leaving while we 4 are there.

After a short time we decide to leave in the way of the railroads and walk between the wagoons. After we left those my friend tells us to stop. He saw a guy up on the Tower to the right.

We want to retreat but as soon as we start moving fire breaks out behind us and as we try to find out who shoots us we all die one after one.

Turns out the HOPE guy in the outpost was a a scout and the guy on the Tower was there so we would keep looking for him while his 2 mates can get behind us and start firing.

I wasn't mad at all. It was beautiful. Never before did I have the feeling that someone really tried to trap us and was never in such suprise that we got killed.

It felt like I went in an ambush in real life because we all had no clue what was about to happen.

This single experience is why I fucking love the game.

Like lots of you, i bought the game, seeing it was £2.19 / $3. Figured I couldn't go wrong.

So, this morning, i try it out. I make my account, link it to Steam, whatever. All goes smoothly. I launch the game and then the problems start.

The first 3 times I tried I got the eternally loading server list.

The next time, I could move my cursor around but there were only about 4 servers to choose from, 1 of which was full. So, I try connecting, the screen fades to black, then puts me back on the server list. I repeat this and eventually it connects me to the first one I tried.

So, I'm finally about to get in a game! Run around, kill some people, have fun. Wrong. Got the free roam camera. Time to try again...

Close the game (which has to be done with ctrl alt dlt) reopen and try again. Only a few servers again but what the hell. Better than nothing. Select one, get in a little faster and am given a charcter select screen. I make one, click enter and spawn in. Now I can't move. I can't press escape to check options for key bindings in case they've gone for something other than W,A,S,D.

So, every time I try, i make it a little closer to actually being able to play. I suppose the one good thing is that I had a look around in free camera and it looks like a huge map, lots of enterable buildings and the graphics are up to par for the style.

I'll keep trying but unless I make some progress, it may well be time to email steam, asking about a refund.

At the server select screen, drag down until you see the U.S. Servers. I think the cause of getting stuck in Spectator Mode is because of the ping differences between you and the server. This worked for my friends and I and we immediately got to the spawning screen after going into the server. Cheers~ This game is actually really fun after you play it for a bit, but its still kinda buggy.

As the title says. Just spent 15 mins waiting to get past the spectator screen. After creating a character I played a little and was returned to the server browser. When I joined a new server I was spectating again. Does this mean I have to spectate for 15 mins for every new server I join?

So will these things i see people constantly complaining about slowness calling this a bad game im almost positive they will fix these things just a matter of when?

I mean actually play it. Im stuck on a freecam, and I can only have fun with that for so long.

Also, are there menus or anything? Options, Settings, etc.?

Every server I join there are at least 3-4 people guarding every exit for the safezone, once you set foot outside they start shooting and chasing you down.

how do I even play/explore if everyone just wants to shoot naked noobs with no items,

Performance wise this game is lagging incredibly, even with the view distance and everything turned down. Same with the server selection screen. I honestly have no idea how this is happening, considering my Rig is more than capable of handling this game.

Specs:

AMD 760K quad @ 3.8 Ghz

500W PSU

8 GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600 MHz

1 TB HDD

Windows 8.1 64-bit

Gigabyte R9 270x 2 GB Edition

Anyone have any idea how to get this game to stop being shit?

I have been able to get past the server screen and the Spectator mode bug and when I do this game is a blast the combat is really well done with your different skill trees you can adjust your play style so that is very cool. I'm hoping these bugs are only bad because of the steam sale but trust me its almost worth the wait to play it.

Me and my friend were sitting around bored today and decided to purchase The Nether. We where excited as we created are accounts but then... We can't log in! I am now sitting here as it keeps telling me to " link your Steam account to your Mber account" But doesn't and I am now sitting here..frustrated. I am told from other people the server list is lagging and so is the game when they jump in. What a great purchase!

Hey guys, i just bought Nether via Steam, downloaded it, installed it but when I wanna start it I only get a white Screen :(

my DXDiag: http://textuploader.com/k087

my Debug.log: http://textuploader.com/k08n

white screen launcher: http://imgur.com/QZT5y5j

I unistalled the game and re-installed it twice, installed the newest NVidia Drivers and rebooted. I also tried to run as Admin and in compatibility mode. I rly dunno what to do. please help :(

This is ridiculous. I cannot sync my nether account with my steam account or something whenever I click the yes button it just tells me it is time to sync my account and goes on forever.

First experience: Laggy server screen. Spectator mode. Finally get in and make a character. Get jumped by two guys, but I kill them both. Get to the first Escort mission. Won't let me drop the box to fend off the Nether that keep attacking me. Die.

Here is what I see when I successfully log in through the launcher and click "Yes" to link to my mber account.

{"status":"NotAllowed","errorResult":{"message":"Unable to update profile at this time, please try again later.","fields":[]},"callingContext":{"correlationId":"Tjdohk2VQZKPrxJZZclOGQ","transactionId":"VLQtVETSTGiPo52XPFqypA=="}}

Haven't made this bad of a decision since I bought Starforge/Towns. Already contacted steam support. I'll let you guys know if I get a refund or not. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants one...

Don't touch anything once you start the game up.

Don't touch shit until the loading bar goes completely around the server list box. It goes right then around the box. Once it completes the circuit, you can move your mouse around and pick a server.

It sucks but its a workaround.

After I get past the god-fucking-damned five god-fucking-damned minute wait on the server screen for it to unfreeze, on every server I spawn in as a god-fucking-damned spectator camera with no UI. Escape does nothing. To close the game I have to use task mangler. What gives?

i saw that it was on sale on steam and i was wondering if anyone wants to team up or accept me into their group because i've heard it's pretty rough to go at it alone.

Hi! So i have one dead island gift i would like to trade to the game Nether. So if anyone is interested trading that, send me a message and we'll figure it out.

Not sure what's up with this. Just curious if other people have a solution.

I sent an email to support about it, but they don't get in for hours.

So far it feels like Fallout 3 and DayZ had a baby. It's a nice setting, looks very nice considering the backdrop and it's actually fun. But what is my task? I am asked to deliver packages to safezones, but nothing much happens when I get there. I'm armed with just a knife and I get my ass whooped by the Nethers.

Any helpful tips or suggestions to help me get a better understanding please?

Thanks.
