How excited are you about Utopia's upcoming release?

[LordStark]

As the title suggests, this is a shameless hype thread. Personally, I've been anticipating Utopia's release for months. I stopped playing Stellaris in January once I saw all the new features built into the expansion. I just can't play the game now knowing what is coming. I also took Thursday and Friday as vacation days from work... I'm going to indulge in my own personal Utopia binge. Can't wait!

Fairly, I on purpose did not keep up with most things to distract myself from it.

I have 9 days off from work to play it. I can't wait to do an online game with the expansion.

The only thing I'm not excited about is waiting days or weeks for all my mods to update...

Assuming this forum has a public audience and according rules, I may not be able to describe, accurately, my feelings towards upcoming Utopia without having this forum post deleted.

I'll try to provide a metaphor instead:
If my hype for Utopia could be represented as the ability to play the game, on a scale from CKnoor to Wiz, I'm DDRJake.

Can't wait i am curious how much unity gain from purging as i haven't seen any videos of someone as a fanatic purifier.

I try not to think too much about it, but knowing it's there tomorow i don't realy want to play anything except Utopia. So i play some War for the Overworld until tomorow, it's keeping my toughts distracted

Someone not waiting Utopia? HERETIC! BURN HIM!

 

[Isinfier]

Should be entertaining.

Will our saves transfer over?

 

[Dreadlord]

Very. I can't wait to teach the Galaxy how flesh is the weak

 

[Korvash]

Very excited!

Although I didnt take thursday off. They dont generally release in the morning anayway, more like late afternoon. (Right?)

I'm afraid not, from Aspec's video (the one where he strarts playing utopia) he goes to his saves and sees that they're incompatible.
You can also see in his his video that now megastructures cost fortunes.

They will probably release it 3pm european central time.

 

[klingonadmiral]

Not anymore.

I pre-ordered it.
And damned they two weeks before that when I was ill, so I had nothing to distract me from waiting on it.

For me they could have just made the Ethos and Faction rework and pushed it out. Every other change are all nice - but tey also delayed the time until I had it in my hands by months.

It is about the same change as 1.2 to 1.3.

It might work, but bonkers. But in any case you are better off jsut starting a totally new game - too many mechanics changed, some of wich take effect on day.

Try being a modder, you have to wait even longer to play as you may want to update all your mods first. So no 'vanilla' playing while you wait as you'll be working *cry*

I'm doing all the pre-update stuff today for my mods. But without access to the new code from the update/expansion I cannot say what else needs changing. So tomorow, instead of playing I'll be spending hour(s) looking trough code for changes/new stuff and updating + testing mods. Hopefully I can push out the updates after an hour or two after release.

With some luck I'll be able to play in the evening once the mods are updated.

You could just play Vanilla for a while, to see wich mods are no longer needed.

I'm having a big push to finish the main quest in Horizon: Zero Dawn tonight, then tomorrow I switch to the laptop for glorious Utopia while the other half plays Persona 5 on the big screen. It's going to be a busy weekend of gaming in my house this weekend.

 

[serpentskirt]

Around yesterday the excitement died out. I'm waiting for next expansion now.
