| JNK said: I just thought about the chance (in %) to meet another person in no mans sky. I tried to solve this mathematically. There will be 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets in the game. So even if the game will sell 50 mio copies (which will be as much as GTA V sold) that would be ~ 368.934.881.474 planets per player. So theoretical you have to visit 368.934.881.475 planets to get to a planet where at least another player WAS. The chance to visit a planets at the same time another player is at the planet is 1/368.934.881.475^2. Thats a chance of ~0,00000000000000000000000136 %. The chance to win some millions in lottery is 0,000000000714 %. And thats just the chance to be on the same planet. The planets will have realistic sizes. So just think about how big the chance is if you are in New York and another people is in tokio that you both will meet. Planets are giant.
So to be honest its impossible to visit another player in a realistic sized universe like no mans sky.
I doubt many people cann imagien the size of the game. Think about how large the earth it. And know take this size x 18,446,744,073,709,551,616.
Im not even sure if there would even be the possibilty to meet another player. Why should they develop such a system if it will never happen? Even the chance that another player will visit a planet you named before is 1/368.934.881.474 (with a 50mio playerbase). Thats 0,000000000000271%. That will most likely never happen^^. Again: The chances to win 1Mio$ in lotterly is bigger.
In my opinion all this multiplayer features (name planets, animals and co) is only marketing. Your thoughts? |
Yeah... All that math is kind of meaningless when every player is headed to the center of the universe... Basically, the closer you get to the center, the higher the chance of running into another player will be. Eventually there will be tons of players around you...
