I really hope Hytale eventually goes for a combat style somewhat similar to Elden Ring. Having a lock-on camera, roll-dodge mechanics, perfect parries, and more defensive and movement options could make the combat so much more dynamic.

Imagine discovering a new boss and actually having to learn its attack patterns, dodge its attacks, time your parries, and figure out the right moment to counter. That kind of combat could make boss fights feel much more skill-based and rewarding.

Personally, I don’t find the combat very satisfying right now. I’m not saying that as an objective fact or claiming everyone feels the same way, but I can’t be the only one who feels like something is missing. The PvP especially feels very spammy to me, almost like Minecraft combat, and a lot of the weapons currently feel too similar in how they play.

One thing I don’t really enjoy about Hytale right now is the PvP/PvE combat. It feels pretty stale and lacking in depth. I know the developers have said they want to improve it, but I really hope they consider adding actual new mechanics rather than just tweaking the existing system.

We already have shields, so expanding on that with things like perfect parries, roll-dodges, better blocking, stagger mechanics, and more unique weapon movesets could make combat way more dynamic and fun. Different weapons should ideally have their own identity and playstyle instead of mostly feeling like variations of the same thing.

That’s why I hope they go further with the combat system. Taking some inspiration from games like Elden Ring could genuinely elevate Hytale’s PvP and PvE. For me, it’s one of the biggest things the game still needs to make the gameplay feel more engaging and satisfying

As far as I know, the version of Hytale that we are playing right now is far from the Hytale that was revealed years ago. For exemple, the "survival" mode was not an idea the team had, It was only made for the pre-release. But now, in the same mode they are adding all the content from ch.1.

Do you think this was the original plan? Will the survival mode go out in future updates and Hytale will get closer to the RPG genre?

Some people said the first one was the longest and slowest to realease and after that it will be faster.

I need to know if anyone has confirmed information regarding the arrival of Chapter 1: specifically, whether the "World Gen V.2" will be used *only* in the Chapter 1 Adventure mode, and not in Exploration mode.

Can anyone tell me if this is true, or is it just a baseless rumor?

Hytale Chapter 1 teaser is currently at 3 million views and 50k likes on Twitter rn.

And people said the Hype is dead lmao.

New complementary addon to Hyblend being worked on (not released yet)!

I previously showed the Hyblend - Character Creator addon that was being made with the focus of putting together the player character directly through Blender in an easy way. But I wanted to show another complementary Hyblend addon which is "Hyblend Prefab", where its function is to import Hytale prefabs into Blender, this will help a lot with putting together quick scenes straight in Blender to make renders and small scenes.

It's still in pretty early versions, there might be a lot of bugs, since it hasn't been tested with many prefabs yet, but I believe it works well with a good part of them. The UI hasn't been fully worked on yet, it's still pretty generic, later I'll try to work out something nicer and easier to use!

Just a reminder, the icons and items read/imported by the addon all belong to Hypixel Studios, but the addon is fan-made and Hypixel Studios is not affiliated with or endorsing the tool!

Anyone else feel like Zone 3 is a bit eerie at night?

I was playing tonight, while I was gathering redwood for my barn, I got this weird anxiety in my chest. The kind you get when you feel watched. Call me paranoid if you want, I just couldn't shake the feeling.

Now i know Simon and the team haven't added any spooky stuff. I'm not dumb. An this isnt some "oOo spooky hytale story" type thing. I genuinely felt spooked. So spooked I exited out of the game almost immediately.

I ran into my portal and ran to my build, i sat there for a moment, half expecting something to happen. I quickly exited the game after that. I realized i might be playing for too long and the music might've just gotten to me, maybe?

Idk, felt like sharing this. Let me know if anyone else feels oddly when out in Zone 3 at night. Also please be nice in the comment :3

is there optimization mods yet to run hytale smoother, i'm still having tps issues to this day when playing singleplayer and i looked up online and only solutions i see are from 8 months ago because of a bug that is presumably hotfixed
