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:

I'll probably at least check it out at launch, but my forum account is banned and my game account is banned for "RMTing"

I don't know how you can RMT in a beta of Albion, but :ok:

right like when it launches, its launched and if there hasnt been any real major overhaul...

so... i feel like mmo execution really depends on how long you can generate interest ontop of some dynamic gameplay and choices and AO is pretty much running down the clock on what I feel like has failed to come forth from their pretty long testing phases~ Its an ambitious idea but I feel like they're just not executing it because they're missing the trees for the forest

but hey we can throw more carrots into structures because that makes sense i guess?~

Worlds Adrift looks promising, just with the usual caveat of thumb twiddling over good/bad in the long run? in the meanwhile






2DCAT posted:

Honestly, it's not really an ambitious idea. They're just doing such a poor job at executing a relatively simple concept.

I was jest tryin tae b polite honestly

obviously a good lot tha did fer berci lad~ :grin:

apparently the pvp in this open world game is actually a moba? I think I was scammed

The players were astounded by Bercilak's doctrine, "Born on a partially erased white board, Grinding Skeletals in a Cave, 5v5'in and Test-Drivin' Is All I Crave"

It's always a good sign when you take on Chris Roberts' mindset of banning any and all the criticize your game, regardless of platform that the criticism occurs.

Man, this poo poo used to happen before Chris Roberts. He just made it very high profile because of all the literal high stakes involved.

I don't get developers with a persecution complex and the fact they're so common lmbo. It's like the worst thing to have if you want to get into this industry because poo poo is competitive and you need to be able to take some criticism to actually improve but no go ahead and let that ego swell :allears:

Forced 5v5 shouldn't even be in a sandbox tho lol

[extremely berc voice] Clearly I am destroying your preconceived dimwitted notion of how game mechanics impact player behavior especially in a sandbox by adding anti-sanndbox mechanics because thats edgy and fresh and its something nobody has ever done. Btw I'm banning you for disagreeing, later loser. Yer gonna be missing out on the greatest mmo of all time lmbo
