    The Regional Reputation System

    I myself would jump in if there were meaningful territory and resource control. I would be able to tolerate the combat not being to my standard

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    What is 3 am in an international game, that had zergs of russians, italians, chinese, turks, you name it? I'm a pretty charitable debater so lets say you mean on a US east specific server. Even under those circumstances I would still say that surprise is quite literally the art of war, and...

    Feedback: The "Foot vs. Mounted" gap is a Retention Killer

    This is certainly a suggestion worthy of mo2. I actually expect them to implement this.

    The Regional Reputation System

    I didn’t go through this thoroughly enough for balance issues but the game needed this system desperately. This should have been the main focus of mo2. Building on the systems from the previous game, not gutting them. I’ve wanted a system like this for 10 years.

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    I agree. Nothing could save this game short of divine intervention. This is mainly a retrospect conversation at this point. Under no circumstances am I expecting correct decision making to even occur let alone actually reverse the damage. The dungeon lock down that you’re referring to. At least...

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    The problem is there are way too many ideas floating around and most of them are not just bad but worst case scenario horror shows like turn caps, or siege windows. Henrik in some cases is the origin of the noise but in all cases is unable to parse out the noise. This is the real problem. I do...

    New Year Talk:

    I think the problems are all pvp related. Class balancing, TC, combat mechanics etc. Don't really care about people having easy access to gold and XP as a problem

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    The game stopping you when you’re about to go overweight is a great idea. Food served its purpose. MO2 if anything should have been an expansion of the survival mechanics not contraction. I would have even liked to see a drastic pivot toward survival genre, resting, thirst, hunger, hell even...

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    Yeah I understood you. It’s knee jerk balancing based on the flavor of the day. One idea has a camp of people advocating for it and the other idea has another type of player that advocates for it. They implement one change in one direction but because it’s sv it’s never actually well thought out...

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    This is in my opinion the real issue. Where is the guild politics? What great crusade has happened, who is locking down territory that we all hate, and what guild is taking huge L’s and getting blasted in videos, which guild disappeared overnight, where’s the drama. This is why it could never be...

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    It’s like the glass that shatters from being too hot and then too cold rapidly. It’s a good point, a great point even. I still however believe the game is/was dogshit enough on its own merits to die. Kind of like your point with trinkets and ttk. This game is way too fucking gear based. A good...

    The revenue being up raises more questions than answers. The game is taking 15% player base cuts per month. As for the 2nd part of your reply. Sv is not a mere victim of happenstance in a tough genre despite their best efforts. They took a genre with near 0 competition, got it in front of 10’s...

    Ok, maybe those changes didn’t come out of left field. As for the walls it’s important to say that what we got in mo2 in the form of player housing far exceeded the damage walls could ever do. Every square inch of the map is/was covered in indestructible house safe zones. Fights were often...

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    Yeah, you’re so right. I think what was surprising about that is that were genuine members of the community that should have known better. They destroyed the whole world for a few silver coins He who seeks to preserve his life will lose it. Kinda fits here

    Now that MO2 is Officially a 200 Pop Game

    Hi friends, I was often told that all my arguments are invalid because mo1 was a game that was a 200 pop game. Therefore, opponents pontificated that every mechanic that was being discussed whether it be sieging, class balance, movement speed, combat, you name it, was invalid because nobody...
