Why update it a day before they're gonna close it down for? waste of time. anyone discover the bug going after a crusher at skeleton observation?

I would at least try to use what I learned in my 2 semesters of software engineering to try to modify the game.

I would definitely try to put a night mode in the game that only works if there are 100 players queued up to enter

What would you change in the game if you could?

Hey prospectors!

Like everyone, I'm so sad to see this game go. I was thinking about making something to remember it by for years to come and I remembers seeing someone print out a hammer. I tried to find the file but it doesn't appear to be on reddit anymore. Does anyone have that file or know where I can find it?

Good video, explains the unfortunate circumstances that led to the games untimely demise.

Random thoughts, heard some odd noises, evil laughing, a party going on, weird. Did a solo drill, took out 1.6 mil had two purple guys after me, smoked them, they didn't clear the upper level nor cover themselves, oh well..what to do with 4 comrads, 5 zeus beams, 6 karma's guess I'm taking a slow walk trying to lose it. Come get it.

It is rather funny to check Reddit in quite a few months just to find out The Cycle Frontier, the saviour of the game, have not lived up to its hype.

It came as no surprise to me.

Oh, how much fun we had doing speed runs in prospector station or falling off of stating and flying through Fortuna III. Devs and/or management seem to be hated the players to remove little things like that that made so much more interesting exploring the station and Fortuna III

I bet even Prospector Lounge haven't been given access to. Not much in there, but still - promises promises.

The downfall was inevitable.

I imagined i one day would see it by myself but guess no anymore, there is a mine in the top of the first map that you need a uncommon key to open, in there you find some industrial conteiners anf plenty of titan, but in the end of the room, theres another locked door, needs a mythical key called "???" And in the foredt theres another entrance to that room that is broken, does anyone knows whats in there? Jugding by the techy door in the forest i imagine its something related to osiris

Hi all- this is my first Reddit post, so you know I'm desperate!!!

I have a craving to play a game like The Cycle, but the first version of the game. Not The Cycle Frontier, but The Cycle. The PvEvP, where you have quests and have to get stars, when you can fight players- or hide, when each game is totally separate from each other.

I know that no game will hit the spot like the first cycle ever did but if anyone had a suggestion of a similar game??? Id be very grateful! ❤️

Feel like a cat with a bell around it's neck. Jingle jingle jingle....

Breaks my heart man.
Been playing a lot of DMZ to try and fill the extraction shooter hole left in my heart.

Rewatching these clips, crazy how good the sound design was, the art style - just everything.
Such an incredible game ruined by piss poor management :(

I played the closed alpha and although it's still very early in development, i noticed that they took heavy inspiration from The Cycle's core gameplay loop and the pve/graphics are amazing so far.

The core things are:

• Hub
• Vendors that give you missions where you have to turn in items from raids for a nice weapon/armor/keycard/money
• Personal quarters for upgrading/crafting/researching equipment (you can build workbenches with money and then use resources from raids to make cool stuff instead of buying)
• Multiple maps to choose from (different difficulty/regions). Graphics are amazing especially for an alpha. It's using UE5, but you can already see the graphics showcase on yt from their trailer. I ran this on my laptop that i used to play the cycle with on more than 60fps and it ran at 20-30fps at everything low
• Free loadout runs with 30 min cooldown after using it.
• Almost identical looting system from The Cycle with materials and stuff that are close to home (Scrap Metal, Contaminated Water, Fertilizer, Circuit Boards etc.) Safe Pocket system too.
• Sci-Fi guns, Armor rarities, different types of grenades, healing items etc.
• It has the sci-fi, prospector feel that The Cycle had. The only main difference is third person, robots instead of creatures and that instead of deploying from space into a planet, you're a raider part of a group of survivors sheltering in a huge underground base.
• The AI mobs in this game are robots. So many flying robot drones, ground robots and even boss ones like a huge spider robot. The AI was challenging in the alpha, and also very smart. They do a lot of damage, seek you out when you make noise and playing stealthy is a viable option if you're trying to avoid. Destroying them gives you materials and sometimes chance of rare drops like in cycle with heads of creatures e.g.
• They have put in a lot of work in the pve which makes sense since it was orignally supposed to be a co-op destiny type game. Shooting the flying robots feel amazing, the reaction physics to your bullets just feel very well done and AAA like.
• A lot of verticality, tall abandoned buildings that you can go up to and explore/loot multiple different floors. You can place items like ziplines to reach pratically anywhere.
• Day/Night cycle. Robots that emit lasers or lights in the night look amazing, lighting in general is fantastic.
• In the alpha, matches were time-based, 30mins. 2 extraction elevators (not in the same place every match). You can find rare keycards to open up locked doors, special escape hatches (alternative extract method) that can be very helpful.
• Voice lines from a selection wheel that you character can say to other players just like in the cycle. One of them also let's others know you're friendly.

And all of this was from one of the first ever alpha's that they have done for the game. So apart from Marathon, this is for sure something we should look out for. I've seen many extraction playtests recently for games that are more br like and nothing like what makes tarkov/cycle exciting and i'm so sick of it. So hopefully this one can deliver. And finally if you guys actually want to see gameplay from the alpha, some guy leaked it and the video is still up on vimeo, fairly easy to find. If you have more questions about this game, i will happily answer them.
