I would really like to play this game more, but I just don't have the time. I don't feel like running around for hours after work to find a new horse. Too bad there are no teleportation runes. Maybe I should just get unemployed.

Here's the road map from yesterday's stream. Seems like they're back to shooting for content releases every two weeks. From the Discord: https://discord.com/channels/345493247931711488/937822153032749116/959319180174327858 Roadmap We wanted to give you what our plan is for the next 4 patches and what lies beyond that. We do not have exact dates, but if all goes as planned we will have a mid and end month patch in April, with the same in May. We also want to show off what will come early after those. Mid April
Clade Respec - You will be able to respec your clade gifts with a gold cost. Guard/Vendor Commands - This will allow you to use the bank from a farther distance with a command and allow you to call guards for aid. However if you wrongfully call guards too often they may hurt you! Placeable Campfires - This will allow players to place campfires around the world or in dungeons for light and a bonus to resting. You will also be able to cook at these locations. (May include portable extractors/crushers, trying to confirm). Extra: Clade XP from Healing - This should be included in this patch. We had a version of this working in our recent test build however we were not happy with the design, since then we rebuilt it and its close to being ready. End of April
2. Forced Wardecs: Forced War Declarations are coming so you can force wars with other guilds. It will have a gold cost upkeep to fuel the war. You will not be allowed to fight in guarded cities. (I am trying to confirm if lawless zones are included in this update and how they will work. There is going to be large areas around Kranesh and GK that will be lawless. Trying to find out about others). Legendary Weapons - Grandmaster Weaponsmiths (100 in the skill) will now be able to find special components to craft with their weapons for unique looks and rarity. Decoration Package - This will include more furniture to decorate your house with. This will also have furniture with some extra functions. An example is having a bed will allow you have a bonus if you log out in your house. Big Fixes and Optimizations - This will have a large package of fixes for the game. Mid May
Trinkets - Trinkets consist of amulets and rings that you can find in the world. These items will be valuable and allow you to add extra stat or skill increases to your characters' builds. When equipped, these items will be a part of you and become soul bound. However, any trinket in your inventory can be looted. These trinkets will come in 5 different tiers. The higher the tier, the higher the value and stat changes will be. Each trinket has three charges. When you die with an equipped trinket, it will lose one of these charges. Without charges the trinkets do not function and need to be recharged. Recharging will be able to be done for a cost, the higher the tier of the item, the higher the cost. You may have to choose what to take with you wisely. Buy Orders - You will be able to place orders for materials and other items through the trade broker while online or offline. Big Fixes and Optimizations - This will have a large package of fixes for the game. End of May
Legendary Armors - Grandmaster Armorsmiths (100 in the skill) will now be able to find special components to craft with their armor for unique looks and rarity. Necromancy - This is the new magic school which will have some new mechanics. Here are some examples:
2. Rituals and Undead Creations: Necromancers will be able to preform certain rituals. One includes rituals to create undead pets or revive undead versions of old pets. Using reagents, materials and carcasses you'll be able to create undead minions. In the future this will likely be expanded upon for unique undead pets with rare materials. These pets' stats may be able to be modified depending on the materials you use for the ritual. 3. Battle of the Necromancers: There will be mechanics that support higher skilled necromancers to be able to take over the minions of other necromancers. Necromancy Dungeon - A Necromancer themed dungeon will be added at the same time as Necromancy. Beyond
Siege - This will be the Sieging update. We want to make sure this functions as intended when we release. Since it will cost a lot of materials/gold to have siege weapons and from the losses they may cause, it is important for polish. We will likely have a public test server ready when we are ready to test this feature. In beta we were able to push out content and feature quickly and polish on the go, that is not the path we want to take forward on a live release. Thievery - This will be a thievery mechanic update to add more way to commit crimes and gain loot. Beast Mastery - This update will include more rounded abilities for pets. We also want to add more skill based gameplay to pet PvE and PvP. We intend to also fix some of the problems surrounding pets before this update drops. New Bosses - We have new bosses planned for Myrland. More Fauna - We have new wildlife planned for Myrland. New Dungeons - We are developing more dungeons passed the Necromancy dungeon for Myrland. Points of Interest - POIs will be added that expands on lore of the world and include notes and recent happenings by players. Other
Subscription - We do not have a timeline for turning on subscriptions. We will give players a month or more notice before it starts. (This will start your free month). Magic effects, animations and feedback - We have the intention to update some of the visuals and feedback of the current magic system, however we are focused on Necromancy first. We understand that some of the current spells don't have the feedback you would hope for and wish to improve this. Necromancy should be a pillar for these changes. These can include simple animation changes to QoL add-ons such as seeing debuffs of your spells on opponents. Bug Updates or Issues
Ghost Avatar Bug - If you ever encountered a situation where you take damage from nothing and simply die, it is likely because of this bug. It is where your character on server is in a different location than your client and your server side character is being attacked. We have identified this issue and working on a solution. House Pathing - We have discovered the cause for pathing around houses being not as intended and are working on a solution Large Light Weapons - We made an adjustment of a weight bug with light weapons last week. This change made some of the light large weapons swing a little faster than intended, we are correcting this specific change.

By the time I leave Haven I’ll have 6 clade gifts, most of my combat skills maxed, and cooking maxed. After that, I have no clue. Probably find a guild and do whatever they’re doing.

Game is extremely unfinished, and never will be as they seem to have 1 single programmer. CEO/Lead Designer is not a programmer but is apparently a graduate of the Molyneux School of Game Design, so he just keeps heaping new ideas onto the pile that they'll never get implemented. It's extremely light on PvE content, and what they have is pretty boring and buggy. The PvP side isn't much better, so the only thing to really do in the game is run around looking for a group smaller than yours to kill. There are some castles placed around the map for guilds to fight over, but the Siege Mechanics aren't in the game yet so they were actually just available to whatever guild showed up first and can afford to pay the upkeep. But it's not like you'd wanna take one over anyway, since Territory Control isn't in the game yet either so the castles serve no purpose. They were talking about starting to charge their planned monthly subscription fee in the next month, but blowback was pretty severe and it seems like they've walked that back a bit. Removing the "Early Access" banner was incredibly dishonest. If you do buy the game now, don't leave Haven (the tutorial island, which once you have left you can never return to) until you're basically done playing the game. Definitely don't leave before level 6 or so, since EXP is pretty easy to get in Haven and nigh impossible outside it, but also Haven was put together by hand and looks pretty nice, while the main game world is largely procedurally generated and largely empty. But also, like, don't buy this game now.

People still exist and you can still find something to do especially if you get into a big guild, but it's definitely waning. The good and packed times are over. Putting money in now is not something I'd recommend unless you just buy all these kinds of games and want to try it or are gambling that the game will bump back up for some amount of time when they finally implement siege stuff properly. Staying on Haven is a bad idea though since you can definitely get the same or more clade xp off of it when you know what you're doing and get stuff for any shenanigans you might get up to. Unless you just never want to pvp in which case just don't get the game at all. Suzera fucked around with this message at 03:01 on May 11, 2022 |

Spending some time playing V Rising made me realize how much more staying power this game would actually have if the devs actually put an ounce of brainpower into designing PvE content that encourages emergent PvP rather than just making a largely empty sandbox and expecting people to make fun for themselves. That might have worked for games like Ultima, back when there weren't actually a lot of games around, but now there are countless of games competing for out attention that any game that really relies on "make your own fun" doesn't work. The game MO2's best content (aside from exploration) comes from players murdering each other over PvE objectives, whether its Sewer Boss spawns or runs to JG camp. But that's basically it. What PvE objectives are worth contesting are far too spread out, on a map that's too big, and even they did have enough people populating it, their servers would just poo poo the bed. Combined with its kind of unga bunga Rep system, smacking nerds feels actively discouraged even if you do run into them and the PvE in this game only really has value to gear up for PvP. When I played the game on release, I initially had fun because of the exploration novelty and that I was playing with goons, and goons can make just about anything fun. However after Elden Ring sucked me away, even though I planned to come back, I kind of never did because there were just more interesting games for me to get too.

Sooooo, anyone still playing? My buddy and I got this on the sale and have been playing this week. We are in Meduli. Wanted to see if there was a goon guild, before joining up with random pubbies. So far it seems pretty cool. Scratching the UO/Darkfall/PvP-murderhobo itch for me.

Anyone unsure if they want to hop in, wait until the Epic/Unreal Engine 5 release. But if you do hop in then, you kinda hosed up. This is a game that favors persistence, patience, and having enough resources to immediately gear back up after a death to ride back out to battle.

Wow I had no idea there was a thread for this stupid game. All of you are dumb for playing it. Anyway I redownloaded it and want to spend a few days just killing people. I think I have an archer/tamer, but I still need to level a few skills. If you guys are in KOTO I might join, but i'm not a fan of KOTO and would rather join one of the smaller PvP guilds that focus on griefing.

Has anyone tried Reign of Guilds? It's in beta right now and initially we couldn't play because we were locked in the starting tavern and whenever we tried to leave, the game would kick us to lobby. But apparently that's been fixed and i'm aiming to try it out tonight. It looks like a better MO2, but I haven't tested it myself to say for sure. If you wanna try it, it's on Steam. Just gotta download to play.

After 1.0 launched: -More players -WAAAAY more players -Server crashing like clockwork every 30 mins -Terrible lag -Same gameplay, new crafting. new crafting is tedious and more time consuming. -Influx of new players have forced the devel's to suspend all crafting on the new server during primetime. (L O L) -Problems with steam auth. Alot. -Scripted encounters (kill 10 bandits then kill the general) completely break down when more than 2 players are in the area. -Dev's solution to getting around the steam auth problem? KEEP LOGGING OUT AND LOGGING IN. -Cant log onto your home server cause its maxed out with players.. get message on side of screen saying you can use the other servers for the time being, use another server and it wont let you cause YOUR NATION IS DOMINATING THAT SERVER SO YOU CANT LOG IN. -Marketplace doing weird magical things like taking your hard earned silver and running off with it. Also, crashing. Alot. I'd give it a week or two before jumping on. Most of these problems are annoying, but some of them are just LOL.

I really think the dev's were one hundred percent not even in the smallest way prepared for the 2k+ new players they were about to take on when 1.0 dropped. 2k might not seem like alot when you've played WOW or ESO, but that's a hell of a lot more than your weekly player count of 129, which was around that for GV. The notes they throw up when you log in pretty much say "Uhhh yea, we almost got some of the bugs out of this and that..." But sadly, when you log in it's a completely different story. Kinda hoping they get it together before all the new players just get frustrated and leave. Played Reign Of Guilds for the first time last night and uh, well,..... yea... no.

Apparently Gloria Victis is actually really good, once you get out of the tutorial. A few streamers I watch were about to quit due to the monotony of the tutorial, but as soon as they got out of it and into PvP, they started having a blast and are hooked. I might have to pick it up and check it out. It's not on sale anymore, but it looks way better than that pile of poo poo MO2. Watching some people that are no longer in the tutorial has me eyeing it as a replacement.

IDK if it was better in every way. I think MO2 captured the "mystique" of being thrown into a new world and having to map out and navigate around it. The lack of mini-map or accurate world map, allowed me to experience playing a scout/explorer in a way no other game has had before, as I tried (and succeeded) in finding an alternate route to JG Camp that completely bypassed the gankable choke points, using a variety of landmark features for navigation. The problem is that poo poo goes away after like a couple of months of the game being live and everyone just optimized away all the fun. I think MO2 would be an exponentially better game if it was a seasons based game, with a map that's like a 1/3rd of the current size and would get remixed every half a year or so. But it feels like Starbreeze always has just the absolute worst dev priorities at any given time.

It's still wild to me that they can release a big patch, pull in a bunch of returning players that want to see it and be like "nah, we can't handle it, shut it down for the weekend". I was seeing streamers back that swore they'd never play again. And at this point, they never will. I guess it needed to be done, but yea, those streamers are never coming back.
