Wow this game looks like a really bad moba.

I liked Heroes of the Storm, therefore I should like this game, right?

Read this whole thread. Can't tell if game is good or bad.

All I know is that I can pay $100 for a yak and a horse.

Don't forget if you die you lose that $100 yak and horse :)

That's the only thing really off putting about this game. That lovely "hardcore full loot" system. No care bears allowed.

It's really the only thing keeping me on the fence. Get gear so you can pvp. Lose at pvp. Grind pve so you can pvp. It seems rather backwards.

I would have been fine with a partial loot system, but full seems a bit excessive. I realize I can stay in yellow zones, but what about the rest of the game?

They have hosed with the game so much I don't even know where they stand on the loot system but It seems like more of the game has restricted loot then full loot these days.

remove yellow zones they're a joke anyway. make the yellows a red zone

the only thing black has is its no notification of groups of 10 or more people on the minimap (as is)
red zones no longer tell you how many hostiles exist in the zone

only let gallop work on roads, and if you change directions on the road you lose gallop for 5 seconds.
damage to mounted people bleeds through to their hp again
introduce lots of long duration moderate effect slows into the game (poison arrow is a 15% slow over 12 seconds)
if you're in combat you're locked from running into another zone

T1-T4 is available in blue zones, T5-7.1 are available in the red.
T7.2+ are available in the black zones

So, since this game is B2P and quite a few of you own it already, so you think there will be a good guild at launch?

Is there a good weapon for dismounting?

for solo the only weapon i know of is warbow but you have to grind it to like 70 to unlock speed shot

if you have 2 people though you can basically run down anything if you can get an autoattack on it with double bladed staff + hunter shoes, and hold it long enough for your buddy with claws to catch up and lock it down

there will be a goon guild at launch that none of us expect to last past a few weeks because goons are dickheads

that said if you plan on playing and want an in to a good guild there are various goons who can hook you up

idk why you nerds talk about losing your 100$ yak and horse if you die like it's a bad thing

why the gently caress did this game ever interest you if not for full loot pvp

Aren't the horse and yak t3? If so they are worth like 5ksilver in a couple days after launch, even less as time goes on.

Only annoying bit I can see is pretty much locking T8 resources behind big guilds. I don't know how bad that is either, so yeah.

Having not actually played the game I can't tell what's good and bad, but I guess if we get enough goons it will be okay. That's my impression. Big guilds dominate pvp games, who knew?
