Palworld Players Are Encountering Server Problems

A vocal portion of the Palworld fandom has recently taken to social media to ask Pocketpair to add corner roofs and a few other junction assets to the hit game. Their pleas add to the list of feature requests that Palworld players have put together to date.

A Palworld player managed to do something only a few ever get to pull off: they caught an Alpha Pal in one throw against very slim odds. It's not easy to catch Alpha Pals in Palworld, which is why it's really amazing that RNG and luck were on their side.

Palworld is full of high-level Pals that can be extremely difficult to defeat and capture – especially in the early stages of the game, as you scramble for basic resources just to survive.

Palworld is a game that essentially sends you out into the big open world, pats you on the back, and says "good luck". With only a handful of tutorials to guide you, you're mostly left to fend for yourself, find shelter, and craft weapons to take down the more fierce Pals out there. It promotes creativity, asking fans to find their own solutions to the game's toughest challenges, and I doubt you'll find a more unique way to take down a boss than this.

There are 135 Pals in Palworld if you count all of the variants as separate Pals, but players are obsessing over just one of them. Depresso is the living embodiment of adult life, and players can’t get enough of his less-than-enthusiastic approach to life and responsibilities. 

Some Palworld players have expressed frustration with the rate at which armor breaks in the open world survival game. Palworld is filled with dangerous Pokemon-like creatures called Pals that pose a serious threat to the player. They unleash all kinds of devastating attacks that can knock players out, forcing them to respawn and potentially causing them to lose their items.

Palworld trainers are already preparing for the upcoming player-versus-player modes, most notably by hoarding 300 Pal Spheres that can nab other players' creature friends. 

A clever gamer has recently built a secret room in their base in Palworld, exploiting how the game works to craft a creative secret passage inside the walls. Many people who play Palworld do it on multiplayer servers, and this gamer found a pretty unique solution to protect their resources from others.

Nefarious Palworld players are causing mayhem on the game’s public servers. On Thursday, Palworld developer Pocketpair posted an apology to the game’s Steam page, pledging to “focus even more on security” in an attempt to rid Palworld of its cheating problem. Though Pocketpair has confirmed cheating on its official server, it noted that it’s hard to prevent all cheating “immediately,” though it will issue a patch “as soon as it is ready.”

Palworld developer Pocketpair says it's aware that some players are cheating on official servers, but says it's "difficult to completely prevent all cheating."

Palworld revealed its early access roadmap yesterday, confirming that PvP is in the works. But there's a hitch. As players on the game's subreddit pointed out, there's already an item in the files that has "a low chance of success" at capturing another person's Pal. That means that when PvP arrives, battles could "devolve into stealing Pals back and forth".

One group of Palworld players came up with an ingenious way to take down a boss that they were massively underleveled for, and the plan was so clever even developer Pocketpair is impressed.
