My first serious post: I'm out this round, but if goons report favorably, I'll probably check it out come launch. I just can't do a 4th launch, followed by inevitable disappoint. Much like Tommy Wiseau, it would tear me apart.

Basically you should stop playing AO when the first people get to T6. Simple rule of thumb. Up until then it's fun. I haven't logged in for something like a 2 weeks now? I can't even bring myself to do so. What a waste this game is.. so what's fun to play currently and what games are coming up soon?

I'll agree; the beginning stages (first week or two) of AO are unquestionably fun.

Sadly, no games are fun to play, all games are bad.

It's like people don't remember that UO was 99% farming and killing farmers for farmed stuff.

Then the farmers left because the only objective was to kill farmers for farmed stuff.

You know the rest of the story

What UO lacked was a gem grind through repetitive skeltal grinding. It's what makes me so optimistic about this game.

A big problem also might just be they are in perpetual beta and not many people, minus the autistic, like to throw away all their time spent with a wipe.

A perpetual beta wouldn't hamper a game with fun dynamics imo. What kills AO is that it's a needless grind with no payoff. The first two weeks are fun as hell. Then it feels like you're forced to grind skeltals for years on end (unless something major changed in the last testing period). If a game offered fun dynamics from the start of game until the end of game, people wouldn't care about wipes and say "welp, I don't feel like forcing myself to grind through yet another beta; i'm out guys!" The game lacks fun; it's going to be hard to fix that, without first acknowledging it. And no, adding gems back into the game isn't the answer to the 'fun' question.

After the weekend meeting with the Devs I am 80% less triggered. Some interesting things on the horizon.

Double Ultimate Final Beta ETA somewhere around Jan-March?

World changes will make griefing probability go through the roof in some areas. If you plan to play the game for the first or second week of the next beta it's likely to produce many tears, ours included for playing another beta.

Nothing else I can report atm.

Yes, but will you please tell me if gems have finally been upgraded to their fullest potential? It's the reason that I and 99% of other players left.

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.
