The UI is temporary. The game is being optimized next patch which should be out sometime during the last week of December, along with some other updates. Far more playable now, although this week the servers might be getting DDOS'd. Fix is in the works.

i've been coming into this thread every once in a while to look if it's out of beta yet and if it's gotten a better response in development, keep trying to find that old UO fix without going to play UO again. This shard online peaked my interested but still will probably just be another shadowbane flop. Guessing Albion won't do any better either..

Such as being released before 2068. Seriously, the game was fun for awhile, but after all the incompetence the developers have displayed over their 5 year development and testing phase does not lead me to believe they'll be any more capable of maintaining the game in the future than they are developing it. They've wasted countless man-hours and currency redesigning their game almost from the ground up. They clearly lack a defined plan of action, which has been evident over the last year or two of testing. The "final beta, just kidding" poo poo leads me to believe that Bercilak is taking game development advice from M. Night Shyamalan, only the bad twists aren't really twists, they're just someone coming along to blast an airhorn in your face whenever you get too comfortable. Shards has yet to show whether it'll be a crapshoot or not, but at the very least they're not constantly telling their players "it's almost done! 3 months of testing and then release!" and they instead work toward fixing things before delivering too much new content. A lot has changed, a lot has yet to change, but given how long it took for the game to go from nearly unplayable to delivering more content than any other pre-release game I've ever played(Less than six months), I am willing to bet it'll do just fine.

One of the best things would be to sell AO to a more established company. Hell even a Korean MMO cash grab company could make something fun and playable with the assets.

AO was the best MOBA game that required MMO grind I've ever played. And by best I mean worst. It took the worst parts of both genres and blended them into a poo poo smoothie for me to choke down.

Sounds ok I guess. World looks better and more organic which was definitely a problem. Not convinced it'll make a big difference at this point though. Also video was super boring. I stopped watching less than halfway through.

The art style has never been a problem. It's always been good in my eyes. The problem arises when the devs ignore simple math, leading towards huge power discrepancies. That and not enough gems and skeltals.

Tablet support is just awkward, I have a laptop if I really want to game while pooping, but I really don't. If I tried to PvP in this while pooping I'd end up not pooping. If I was crafting I could just AFK craft it on my desktop while I poop and browse the forums on my tablet.

Hey guys - thought I'd check in and see if anyone thought this was worth a re-install, I played with Yum. Seems like it's still hosed. It did lead to a good night drinking with Bukowski. Man I just want a PvP MMO that isn't EVE. E; also these fuckers aren't still planning on mobile support are they? That's a terrible idea. Harebrained wisely shot their tablet versions for Shadowrun and that's a pure PvE single player RPG. squirrelzipper fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Jan 15, 2017 |

There will be a reset in a month or so. There are a few of us who will play again since some of the combat was changed which changes the overall meta. So if you are interested in that. Just keep checking in on the thread and we'll be posting when we play again.
