Let me correct you, I want to kill dudes and take their poo poo. I don't want to run dungeons. You can't do A without doing B in this game.

I'm sure you, nor most of this thread, have any plans to ever log in again anyway, so no worries there.


For everyone who is actually still playing, what guilds did you end up in? How is the content in Red/Black? I've mostly messed around in the central and western Outlands continents with some red zone roaming for hostiles. Black Zones so far seem to be a good mix of empty, gatherers, and blobs. Red zones have consistent hostiles to farm, and chests/hellgates are pretty good hotspots for PVP. Its not as good as the old Lootbarrows days, but hopefully the new Reputation patch helps bring that back.

lol an unreleased, F2P game in it's paid-early-access phase has "good old days".

I mean its one thing write off 90% of the posters in this thread that did play the game, for several launches, and found that the effort/fun ratio wasn't satisfying and therefore quit - sure.

It's another to think that the new patch will fix things this time, again.

Glad to hear the combat grind has been reduced, but the crafting grind still seems real - with the new boss respawn timers, I assume it's easier than ever to afk at a boss spawn and farm silver to just buy gear?

Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
I remember the good ol' days when like 5 people constantly farmed carrots or whatever full time to keep stuff going.

Is the carrot rush still a thing?

They linked their proposed changes to reputation about a week ago. If it goes live as they said it, Red Zone PVP will definitely be back in a big way. And thats what I specifically meant about the Rep patch. It'll have no effect on Black Zone and who cares about yellow?

The crafting grind really isn't so bad. Being able to study finished products for extra fame makes it a lot easier. The gathering is a bit rougher than I remember, but still not just absolutely terrible.

I don't see how getting to T6 crafting for helm chest boots on my alt in the first 6 days of beta is classified as a struggle. Think about that.. working towards T7 on day 6 of beta. #strugglesarereal.

Also PvE dungeons don't work that way anymore. There is no boss camping. Try the game before everyone poo poo posts this beta. It's actually decent. Release will be decent as well with the changes in the pipe.

It's sad that they really finally seemed to get their poo poo together this beta. Because they really could have used that since alpha. But maybe since they reworked systems 92 times now they are just picking all the best ones from the past. Seems to be the general thing so far this go.

Farming doesn't work like that anymore at all. The only problem with carrots is its the first thing you can make. If your guild is dumb enough to buy 14 territories on day 1 with no way to feed. Of course food is going to be a bitch.

For some thought. I used a T3 horse with a T4 backpack. Put 50 T3 wheat soup in my inventory and fed a territory for 7 days. You just can't make island farms on day1 because you don't have any silver.

Running around looking for casual fights and kills is loving stupid. Everyone can escape you and finding people randomly out in the wilderness blows. I feel like there are so few people playing compared to beta1.

Or go to a Warcamp. or a Hellgate. Or a chest. Or a farming cluster node. The people are out there.

And no, "everyone" can't escape you. Tackling is different now than pre-gallop days but I've figured out how to make it work now. Quarterstaff + Hammer combo is still gonna tackle the gently caress out of anyone and everyone short of maybe another quarterstaff with a high tier horse.

That wasn't a poo poo post - that was real, actual things that happened. The game was a loving disaster from launch until now (allegedly). I literally used to farm all my cash just camping dungeon bosses and some poster above said that was increased now, so I was asking a question.

I know you are defensive about this Really lovely Game Until Now, and I am sorry I've offended you.

On a forward note that's really good about the quick crafting xp if you truly can grind out T7 in a real life week not playing every waking moment, so much that I might play again if true. I don't really mind spending time to find targets, I just don't (and I'd say a majority of this game's target demographic) want to spend hours farming gear because it's super boring.

AO is pretty irredeemable at this point, IMO.

There are some guilds that are diehard and going to play, but to justify wasting time in AO, even in its current state is pretty laughable. I realized after Beta 1 this game was going to be DoA if they stuck with the core rated PVP/farming systems they did, and that'll be the hill they die on.

I don't think it's that bad. The game has changed a lot, it's not perfect, but it has changed positively. The core rated PVP/farming systems you mentioned are different now with the exception of GvG but now you don't really need to live off a territory principally.
