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.

So EVE is dead. Good to know.

Almost as easy as wiping out the goon guild wallet isn't it?

Stealing an Ox from a pubbie is considerably more difficult. There are psychological variables that you have to guess that involve mathematical equations and constellations as well as goat sacrifice and 3/4 virgin blood.

The other was a penetration test, done at the end of the goon inquisition and now security is impeccable just ask Forge.

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.

jesus yer a fkn dobber

It's bad. No it hasn't. No it didn't. Yes, just not in the way you think contributes as a positive. You just basically debunked the point of the game in the last sentence :nallears: Might as well go shoot people in the face on some valve server if dinnae give a shite bout territory, least id be in a team of 10-20 instead of a fiver :chloe:

the game lost its fun when all the trade routes basically died off and they added in the garbage infamy system that ruined redzone pvp.

having 8 equal entrances to a city is really lovely for people looking to catch traffic. where the hell do i even go to try and get some pvp?

use any of those 8 entrances to leave the city. all the areas around caerleon are pretty ripe with both carebears and full red PKs. it's not really something i've seen in previous iterations of AO. it's pretty cool.

the next patch is supposed to change the rep system i think so it's more reasonable???? idk that's what oatmeal and forge say.

So I was reading a how-to guide on the current game, and it seems pretty straightforward now. The only part I didn't quite get is they suggested I use this technique to make it a bit more enjoyable as I was trying to reach T7

Rep patch went in today which means you can flag and unflag at will. Basically unless you go on a mega killing spree on the levels of grief guild you won't get kicked out of red. I go pvp with some dudes who have a red alt guild. I run around and find blues for them to kill. Change and adapt. You can't just sit at the city entrance and gank dudes anymore. However there are on average about 5 oxes in each zone around that city on the slow times.

Hello fellow kids

I also hate video games, but got drunk one night and paid for AO to test my computer's ability to download and install a game for some reason. So uhh.. that being said, I think now that the game is set to release I would like to test my computer's ability to also play video games. Maybe even a tablet, I don't know, things could get pretty crazy.

So, are there any plans to create a guild so we all can talk about how much we hate the game together while we 'play' it?
